I Don’t Know lyrics

[Intro: Bobby Byrd, James Brown]
What you gon' play now?!
Bobby, I don't know

[Hook: Slum Village all together, (James Brown sample)]
Yo, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)

[Jay Dee, (Slum Village all together), various James Brown samples]
(You, you...) Could ask my man, T-3!
I ain't the 1!
To be, played like them n*ggas that you use to play for money and
No time for acting funky with me
You best believe that you won't do it!

[T3, James Brown samples]
I'm influenced to like, uhm... you know!
And then I pick up the phone, sh*t... I don't know...
She wants my cash flow, says my loot is usual
Baatin says it's him 2!

[Baatin, James Brown samples, (The JB's sample)]
To all my ladies in the place
I mean, your whole crew is like – (Yeahhh!)
You know The "S" is my crew, we roll... what, man? you know!
We got a whole flock of n*ggas with 'locks – you know!
But I don't know why I'm f*cking with you
[Hook: Slum Village all together, (James Brown sample)]
Yo, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
You, you...

[Jay Dee, James Brown samples, (LeShaun sample, LL Cool J "Doin' It")]
It's like... uh! – you know you scandalous as hell
Yeah, I can tell, from your nails to the Chanel
Say whatever you doin' (you doin' it well...)
You jockin' my man R.L. 2!

[T3, James Brown samples]
Wait, so you
Shouldn't do the things you do
But you constantly do... your bad self!
Also, you, love to... eh, eh!
So, I'mma get with you so we can... ugh!!

[Baatin, James Brown samples]
And if ya don't know, yo' sh*t is crucial
To all my people in the place, if you need to know I want you bad!
Enough to say – watch me!
Do my sh*t on the dance floor
And if you need to call me, you know!
My number is 3! 2! 1! 1 - 7-88
[Jay Dee:]
Yo, yo... why I'm f*cking wit' you?!

[Hook: Slum Village all together, (James Brown sample)]
Yo, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' wit' you (I don't know...)

See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' with you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' with you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' with you (I don't know...)
See, I don't know why the f*ck I'm f*ckin' with you (I don't know...)
You, you...

[Jay Dee]
Alright, Jeff, do what you do...!
