Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
[Verse 2]
It all started when you were year above
Uh, before I had a fear of love
Before, back then I adore, but now I'm fearin' love
Before every other fella I was hearin' of
Back when the day would fade to grey when you were clearin' off
'Cause now I only make love if I'm in love
You wasn't in love, then what you think, love?
Thinkin' I'ma hold on you the brink until we sink?
Fade like a brother, rather have another drink, love
I'll drink up and disappear
'Cause honestly, you don't need me here
It's like you need it, can't defeat the fear
But now I see you can't believe, but I read it clear
Play me like an ass, I won't spend another evening here
Deep, the evening clears, drowning in stark
Just know you clouded my guts, goin' down on his luck
But now I sit in a hurry, worry nuts that I bust
Knowin' you only went down to ****, so what the fuck is up?
[Verse 3]
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
[Verse 4]
Uh, check, look
I know this shit sounds philosophical and borderline ironic
But this topic's very logical
Whether it's a blessing or a motherfucking obstacle
That breaks apart and leaves the broken hearted to the hospital
Powerful devotion for some, when I was young
Lack of any kind of emotion had me helpless and numb
Back when I was dumb, I was never runnin' my gums
Just always runnin' from webs that I spun
Stress weighin' a ton
Weight was more than I was able to bear
'Cause in my mind it's mad fruity to be labelled a pair
But blatantly scared
Escapin' any fragrant affair
That was my duty, always threw me into times of despair
Writin' rhymes to try describe the many times that I care
'Cause honestly to put it properly, I'm underprepared
And who am I to play the castaway?
I've got a bigger part to play
So when they ask me, it ain't hard to say
[Verse 5]
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
[Verse 6]
So why you cryin'? Stop the cryin', I weren't cryin' on you
Stop the lyin', worry 'bout them brothers lyin' on you
They slidin' on you, bump and grind every night upon you
Gettin' slag upon you, cry up on you, then get tired of you
Ballin' 'cause I gain on you, what the fuck you mean?
Aye, closest to trust I'd ever seen
Well shit, well there, I said it, now forget it like a dream
No regret, can't forget the shit you've seen
You should've kept it clean
[Verse 7]
Aye, should have kept it clean
(Can't forget the shit you've seen)
You should've kept it clean
(You should have kept it clean)
No regret, can't forget the shit you've seen
Should've kept it clean
You should've kept it clean
You should've kept it clean
You should've kept it clean
Know what I mean?
[Verse 8]
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
[Verse 9]
Mmm, you don't know what I'm lookin' for
Oh no, no, no, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You don't know what I'm lookin' for
No-oh-oh-oh
