Letra de I Still Know Better - Headie One

In this episode of Violent Four

We'll focus on one particularly violent ten-week period which left three young people dead

Yo

I still know better

I turn that 'round, but I feel no better

Turned a five sands into my show cheddar

And I was baggin' up the sand with my old wetter

Then go my show and all the fans screamin', "Mo Salah"

The beef goin' off the rails, it's like a coathanger

See, broski was my codefendant

I went home when he caught a sentence

But now I war his brethrens

Didn't think it could've been like this in youth offenders

But clout's more addictive than crystal meth

Now everybody's got a deal with death

We just done what the street niggas do

But somebody's gotta lose, and that's the dominoes effect

I went Sony, got signed that week

I gave racks to my dad that week

I done my show, I linked a ho, I got lined that week

And I was trendin' online that week

I had to see my girl cry that week

I had to glide that week

High-speed chase with the bine that week

I nearly threw away my life that week

I had the opps playin' hide and seek

'Cause— ssh, got shot twice that week

My pops, he see my door fly that week

I lost two of my broskis to a licence breach

Laser beams on my aunties, it's a specialist Trident team

And my co-de that I spoke of before, the opps caught him and he died that week

North London hasn't ever been the same again

And everybody thinks it's entertainment

'Til people start dyin'

Then they tell me that I'm glorifyin' violence (Police is called to an incident at a car park)

I still know better

I turn that 'round, but I feel no better

Turned a five sands into my show cheddar

And I was baggin' up the sand with my old wetter

Then go my show and all the fans screamin', "Mo Salah"

The beef goin' off the rails, it's like a coathanger

See, broski was my codefendant

I went home when he caught a sentence

But now I war his brethrens

Didn't think it could've been like this in youth offendin'

The girl from the uni room been goin' through depression

I just hope that in her heart, there's no resentment

How can we cure this? Because it's too late for the prevention

Too late for all the police intervention

Everybody seekin' vengeance

Yo, I told the A&R I'd never rap again or until we can mend this

Cancel all my shows, I'm in my Bally and my Tech fit

And then I ended up inspirin' my next hit

I performed at Stamina that week

It was hard to understand that week

Cah I was hated, then loved by the fans that week

Imagine if I got grabbed that week

I swear that would have been the saddest week

See, everybody had a chat that week

Imagine me sat down and I can't support my family

Yo, I know I would've been forgotten and that's mad to me

Yo, I still know better

I turn that 'round, but I feel no better

Turned a five sands into my show cheddar

And I was baggin' up the sand with my old wetter

Then go my show and all the fans screamin', "Mo Salah"

The beef goin' off the rails, it's like a coathanger

See, broski was my codefendant

I went home when he caught a sentence

But now I war his brethrens

Didn't think it could've been like this in youth offendin'

I still know better

I turn that 'round, but I feel no better

Turned a five sands into my show cheddar

And I was baggin' up the sand with my old wetter

Then go my show and all the fans screamin', "Mo Salah"

The beef goin' off the rails, it's like a coathanger

See, broski was my codefendant

I went home when he caught a sentence

But now I war his brethrens

Didn't think it could've been like this in youth offendin'

Headie One has always insisted his songs are full of what he describes as, "Observations of society"

And his lyrics don't incite people to do bad things

On YouTube, there's even a disclaimer saying the lyrics are based on fictional events and people

Whatever the truth, it's little doubt "Know Better" took the dispute between the rival gangs to another level
