If You Only Knew

Lyrics

[Intro] (Deep breath, Gates-style talking, real emotion, rough voice) Yeah… Loyalty over love, but you ain’t understand that… I done took some losses, but I never ran back… God forgive me, I been sinning, but I stand on business… (Uhhhhhh, yeahhh... let’s go…) [Verse 1] (Fast, relentless flow, real talk, raw emotion in every bar) Hello, hello, yeah, I peep how you move No loyalty in you, that’s why I been cool No more cryin’, no more stressin’, no more beggin’ for the truth You can keep that fake love, I got racks to pursue Heart on froze, I been through the cold Now I’m bossed up, and my wrist on froze I done built myself up from the bottom, now I’m high I ain’t ever need no favors, had to get it on my grind [Pre-Chorus] (Melodic, passionate, deep bass kicks in, Kevin Gates stretching words for emphasis) Wishing I was kissing on youuuu I’m sick of wanting and missing on youuuu I’m sick of stressin’, I’m stuck obsessin’ (If you only knew... yeahhh...) [Chorus] (Hard-hitting, gritty, real boss energy, hard drums, deep 808s knocking) Now I’m countin’ up bands, takin’ flights outta viewwww Got this pain in my heart, but I’m stronger, I grewwww Missing on youuuu... stressing on youuuu... (If you only knew... yeahhh... yeahhh...) [Verse 2] (Aggressive, sharp flow, hunger in every word, Gates-style real-life flexing but still emotional) I stood on ten, I ain't break, I ain't bend I took my losses like a man, then I went to go win You tried to play me, now you watchin’ from a fake page I just left Dubai, took a PJ to a new stage Diamonds in my chain, they remind me how I shine Made it out the trenches, had to hustle, had to grind Now I’m up, but I still feel pain inside All this money in my pockets, but I’d trade it for my pride [Bridge] (Low voice, emotional but still street, deep pain mixed with power, melody kicks in heavy) I could’ve loved you, I should’ve told you But I was too numb, yeah, I was too cold too All of these demons, I can’t control ’em I put in work, I ain’t sellin’ my soul and— [Chorus] (Final chorus, 808s shaking, passion at its peak, voice breaking with intensity, Kevin Gates-style all out!) Now I’m countin’ up bands, takin’ flights outta viewwww Got this pain in my heart, but I’m stronger, I grewwww Missing on youuuu... stressing on youuuu... (If you only knew... yeahhh... yeahhh...) [Outro] (Beat fades, heavy breathing, deep real talk in the background, final words like Kevin Gates does at the end of his songs) Yeah… Pain built me, struggle made me... They ain't understand the grind, but now they see me shinin’… But I still feel it tho… (If you only knew… yeahhh... yeahhh...)
