K-Rino - Need To Know lyrics

Here we go again
How many people you know that's really like
How many people you know
That's really like this?
Real friends don't bend
In fact I wanna say that again
Real friends don't bend

I don’t stroke no egos or praise fake heroes
I live by the code of daily energy reload
It’s hard to trust people so I
Stay in only me mode
A grown person should never be
A beggar or freeload confide in me
Don’t expect nonsense responses
Don’t ask me my opinion if
You can’t handle the content
People have their minds already made
When things hit ‘em
They just ask you for advice to
See if you agree with ‘em


How can I make it better
If I’m being fake to ya?
The best type of friend you can
Have is a straight shooter
Be open to a true honest character diagnosis
‘Cause others see things about you
That you don’t notice
Just take it on the chin when
They check you ‘bout your dealings
As long as what they saying is real
Stay out your feelings
Don’t label them a hater ‘cause
They doin’ you a favor
And even if it’s painful
You’ll thank ‘em for it later

I’ma tell you what you need to know
Not what you wanna hear
It’s on you if you deny the
Facts when they coming clear
Running from truth is a wasteful move
The hardest person that you’ll ever
Have to face is you

Some people won’t ever change so
Let ‘em be that way
You got your hands on a brick tryna
Mold it like it was clay
But it’s still hope for others
Stay on ‘em ‘cause it ain’t over yet
Hold the net ‘cause homies be slippin’
Like the floor was wet
Life don’t always wanna accommodate us
Like getting caught by every red
Light when you runnin’ late
They need you to keep it real
But, you act all soft
What kind of friend would sit and
Watch another friend fall off
And not at least try to
Talk ‘em through the condition?
I know you’re thinking
"I can’t force a grown person to listen"
And that’s a fact
But, you don’t have to give so hard
‘Cause once you tell ‘em what’s right, man
You done did your job
You bendin’ over backwards like an acrobat
But all that you can do is
Pray for ‘em after that
Sometimes a conversation gets
Uncomfortable and heated
It’s hard to help somebody when they
Don’t think that they need it yeah

I’ma tell you what you need to know
Not what you wanna hear
It’s on you if you deny the
Facts when they coming clear
Running from truth is a wasteful move
The hardest person that you’ll ever
Have to face is you

Don’t treat me like I invented the problem
Love don’t always come in the
Form of grinnin’ and smilin’
Talkin’ down and critiquing
That’s a hell of a difference
Sometimes you got to sit a person
Down to tell them they trippin’
It don’t matter who it is
Check ‘em when they ain’t right
If we can’t be honest with each
Other we really ain’t tight
From a grown man all the way back to my youth
I respected any man who ever
Told me the truth
If I recognize your issues and
Don’t pull you first
When somebody else tell you
It could be worse
Sugar-coating is a weak move, being real
That’s tough you might have to get broken
Down to build back up
And if it leads to you hatin’ me
I’ll pay that price
It’s worth it ‘cause what I say
To you might save your life
I don’t judge your circumstances
My love come free if I don’t try to tell you
Something then that blood’s on me

I’ma tell you what you need to know
Not what you wanna hear
It’s on you if you deny the
Facts when they coming clear
Running from truth is a wasteful move
The hardest person that you’ll ever
Have to face is you
