Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gotta believe it's better to know
Listen
[Verse 2]
I know you havin' other friends and I'm wit you
Ain't gotta keep it on the low 'cause I'm wit you
I told ya, girl, I understand
Ain't gon' be trippin' on no other man, girl
[Verse 3]
You be actin' like we all up in love and baby
I be knowin' we ain't all up in love and that's cool
You can keep them other **** and that's cool
As long as I can hit it
[Verse 4]
It's better to know
Don't front like it's all about me
'Cause it's better to know
Be straight up if that's how you wanna be
Yeah, it's better to know
You got yours and I got mine
But whenever we roll
I'll still treat you like my wife
Ain't no shame in the game
What we doin' is the same
Girl, our thing won't change
It's just better to know
[Verse 5]
You can still push the coupe if you wanna
You can swipe my black card if you wanna
Them wifey things are still on
What you do on the side is your business 'cause you're grown
[Verse 6]
You be actin' like we all up in love and baby
I be knowin' we ain't all up in love and that's cool
You can keep them other **** and that's cool
As long as I can hit it
[Verse 7]
It's better to know
Don't front like it's all about me
'Cause it's better to know
Be straight up if that's how you wanna be
Yeah, it's better to know
You got yours and I got mine
But whenever we roll
I'll still treat you like my wife
Ain't no shame in the game
What we doin' is the same
Girl, our thing won't change
It's just better to know
[Verse 8]
You can keep it real, it's cool with me
Yeah, I know you be all out there doin' big things
And you ain't gotta hide, girl, it's alright
I'm still gon' make that good love to you every other night
[Verse 9]
Girl, there ain't no pressure, ooh, there's only pleasure
'Cause the way you put it down, girl, I ain't mad at you
So we gon' let this ride, you ain't gotta lie
Tell me 'cause it's better to know
[Verse 10]
Oh, it's better to know
Don't front like it's all about me
'Cause it's better to know
Be straight up if that's how you wanna be
Yeah, it's better to know
You got yours and I got mine
But whenever we roll
I'll still treat you like my wife
Ain't no shame in the game
What we doin' is the same
Girl, our thing won't change
It's just better to know
[Verse 11]
Better, better, better to know
Better, better, better to know
Better, better, better to know
It's better, it's better, it's better, it's better
Better, better, better to know
Better, better, better to know
Better, better, better to know
