More Than You Know
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Sung sample:] Need you more than you know
(more than you know) (x2)
[Double K:] Yes, sir (Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir!)… I'm feeling it!
[Double K:]
Got rid of some luggage, I'm ready for some loving
Got my acts together, I need a main thang
Time to relax better, made mistakes in the past that was weak
After getting what I wanted, I wouldn't speak
Out macking with the homies, I never got lonely
Wasn't paying attention, I was too busy getting taxed
Smoking on sacks, breaking MC's backs
Had to take some time out to find out where my head was at
Apparently, it was downtown, hanging at the club
Coming home out of mind, out of pocket, that was enough
To make a real woman leave and slam the door
Couldn't even try and blame her, and didn't wanna tame her
Became bitter, destructive, you know I didn't care
Started looking up and finding myself nowhere
Now I'm somewhere confused, high and dry
Trying to get it together, word to my mother, I try
But that P-funk with that uncut prevents that
Sticking my chest out, being tough, yeah
It's that macho "I don't care, don't need nothing" attitude
But really (but really), but really ([Thes One:] Really… hah!)
([Sung sample:] Need you more than you know
(more than you know) (x2))
[Double K:] It's just something I gotta say
There's something I gotta share
Some people, they gotta have it, some people, they don't care, but I…
[Thes One:] Because I need to let you know, so we can grow
Let's get it together, share some time
See the point of the rhyme is that I…
([Double K, under Thes:] She know, and I know
We know, they know, he know…)
[Double K:] It's just something I gotta say
There's something I gotta share
Some people, they gotta have it, some people, they don't care, but I…
She know, and I know, he know, we know, you know that uh…
[Thes One:]
You know that times got rough and stuff
I said I'd take back, but growing up is tough
When prone to overreact, my own pride
Like holding back, showing tough sides when you cried
I know I lacked some qualities, spin a few lies
Had some late apologies and false compromise
I watched us change and organize this life together, nights together
We fighted through the stormy weather
I said I'd never forget or just let go, the anger carries on
I let go through stereo, still not a problem
Or at least, I didn't say so safely always been so cautious
Hardly realized I almost had lost this, relationships get deep
I'm waking up at night wondering, I can't sleep
It's time to take the leap, I wish I was a safe bet
Looking down, nothing but ground with no safety net
Yet regret? Never! No thoughts and no sound
I'm just saying, it would kill me to let you down
We're laying concrete, covering our lost ground
And I don't say it enough, but you know I'd lay my life down, because I…
([Sung sample:] Need you more than you know
(more than you know) (x2))
[Double K:] It's just something I gotta say
It's something I gotta share
Some people, they gotta have it, some people, they don't care, but I…
[Thes One:] 'Cause I need to let you know, so we can grow
Let's get it together, share some time
See the point of the rhyme is that I…
([Double K, under Thes:] And I know, he know, she know…)
[Double K:] It's just something I gotta say
It's something I gotta share ([Thes One:] Yeah…)
Some people, they gotta have it, some people, they don't care…
[Thes One:] Because I need to let you know, so we can grow
Let's get it together, share some time
See the point of the rhyme is uh…
([Double K, under Thes:] And I know, she know, we know, he know, they know, let's uh…)
[Sung sample:] Know (more than you know) (x2)
[Sung sample:] Need you more than you know
(more than you know)
