Al Green
Know Somebody
[Intro/Sample]
Yo I don’t know what to say anymore
[?]
The song's about a very close friend of mine

(May we all raise our glasses for those who are no longer with us but are here with us in spirit.)

[Verse 1]
He was a young man with a plan and a stereo
A couple old tapes, he would play everywhere we go
Saying here we go, juking in the diving and then producing all this fire and people all liked him
A few didn’t when he started smoking tress
And a few more hatеd when he screamеd:
“No police!”
Feelin' weak in the knees when he got his girl pregnant, right?
Writing letter, wrapped a letter till the letters got better and
He would shout his hometown out of round bouts until he got bored trying to move his way down south
And the haters increased when he started moving keys, slanging birds to the birds
Have run-ins into the police
And He got locked up, came out sang and
It was popping back then, but it’s a shame of how damaged his rep with the folks that he once loved, now he was dumbstruck
And it’s dumb but...

[Hook]
It’s kinda of funny how you know somebody
Where you know nobody in the truth called coxia
And the shiver runs through your whole body
Cause you know nobody, wanna know nobody
But, it’s kinda funny how you know nobody
When you know somebody in the troupe unlocks it
And the shiver runs through your whole body
Cause you know somebody, don’t hope nobody like you
[Verse 2]
Mad love for the bud, baby mother found out
Packed up for the cuz
Two years pass, and he own something harder
Four lines down trying to die as a martyr
Puff, Puff, Pass was a thing in the past
When I asked if he good, all he could do was just laugh, intoxicated, no innocence left in him
All of his friends left them, pessimisticicism
Can you blame him?
I don’t really but, that ain’t place so high won’t really give opinions on the matter when the matter doesn’t matter, when he asking for the factor
Why you getting mashed up?
I don’t know, he didn’t either
Hanging with some singers doing coke on the bleachers
Compounded in his heart start beating as a generation died over all our speakers
It’s a shame how we lost what we love most
Picture that, “do you remember rap?”
Most youngest can’t even remember that
Two turn tables with the static in the back
And I miss them, I miss the good times
I miss the good quotes, I miss the good lines
I miss my best friend, Rest In Peace
Screaming from the tip top
I remember hip-hop

[Hook]
It’s kinda of funny how you know somebody
Where you know nobody in the truth called coxia
And the shiver runs through your whole body
Cause you know nobody, wanna know nobody
But, it’s kinda funny how you know nobody
When you know somebody in the troupe unlocks it
And the shiver runs through your whole body
Cause you know somebody, don’t hope nobody like you
