U Should Know Better – English Lyrics

• By: Robyn, Snoop Dogg

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've gone around the world and the seven seas

I'm cashing six figure checks in all currencies

It's like when I be tearing it up in Paris

Mother fuckers parlay on the M-I-C

It's all ooh, la, la ee and ah oui-oui

Because I'm sipping Bleu Blanc in my lingerie

Chopping heads off with my damn guillotine

Even the French know better than to fuck with me

Come on tell me, girl, Robyn, what it do?

I'm in the UK, why? I got a show to do, uh, huh

This bitch Snoopy Dogg, check the catalog

I'm overseas, getting cheese with his dialogue

I missed my plane to Spain so I'm stuck in Cologne-a

I'm sipping Sorona with this chick named Ramona

She wants me to take a flick on her phone-a

She then take her to my hotel room and then bone her

You know when in Rome, I sat down with the Romans

Said we need a black Pope and she better be a woman, she better

Better be no more celibacy

Even the Vatican knows not to fuck with me

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

If you knew better you would do better

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

If you knew better you would do better

We be rolling in Holland, Amsterdam, my man

I got a table at the coffee shop where we like to smoke a lot

Hanging in the parking lot, blowing a bli-say

Tulisa's easy 'cause she's a dee-say

I crash the party with the tar

Throw a Molotov cocktail in the bar

Now you know my style's revolutionary

Even the Russians know better than to fuck with me

You try to ban me, you can't stand me 'cause I'm an outlaw

Black President living in the White House

Mr. Big you wrote a letter to me

The F-B-I know better than to fuck with me

Yo, I was there at Watergate

You know I rigged my gear, got the mothers in tape

They put the mic in the hand of the wrong M-C

Even the C-I-A knows not to fuck with me, what it do?

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

If you knew better you would do better

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

Tell 'em Snoop, tell 'em like it is

I been there, in there, out there like that

Right back to the 'hood honey, you won't start

Shoot motherfuckers just on J-P

L-A-P-D know better than to fuck with me

You see, I danced to the devil in Kathmandu

I came humming and blasting with the Boogaloo too

Now I declare most solemnly

The prince of darkness know better than to fuck with me

You know not what you know, tell 'em what I'm in it for

The world been thin

Really though, silly ho, yeah, spin a minute though

I blow an ounce to make you bounce just like '64

Now you know me, I'm a woman of peace

I don't never take nothing don't belong to me

I turn 'em down and say whatever's gon' be gon' be

The whole industry knows not to fuck with me

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

If you knew better you would do better

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

If you knew better you would do better

You should know better

You should know better

You should know better than to fuck with me

If you knew better you would do better
