Chump - I Don't Know... Ya Know? Lyrics

I don't know where they get it maybe it's inherent
The minute they get born the honies say it to their parents
Growin' up they go to school to fill their heads with learnin'
But the language that they're using keeps homies heads a turnin'
My girlie sat me down said we gotta have a chat
I knew just what was comin' but there was no turnin' back
She started to talk but then just shook her head
I waited for more, the words I knew I'd dread
I waited for more, but the only thing she said was just

I don't know, ya know? - That's what she's sayin' to me
I don't know, ya know? - It haunts me everywhere I go
I don't know, ya know? - The words I can't believe
I don't know, ya know? - My jaw just hit the floor
I don't know, ya know? - I turned but couldn't leave
I don't know, ya know? - Huh?

I left the conversation not one word wiser
I couldn't understand her, nor could I advise her
I thought and thought about it but it did me no good
My stomach was a growlin so I went to get food
At the Hut I saw my homie he was grubbin' it up
I cruised over and set next to him and gave him a "sup?"
He said, "You left us to chat with your lrig the other day"
"I heard you had a talkin', kid, what did she say?"
I heard she sat you down, bro, what did she say?" I said

I don't know, ya know? - That's what she's sayin' to me
I don't know, ya know? - It haunts me everywhere I go
I don't know, ya know? - The words I can't believe
I don't know, ya know? - My jaw just hit the floor
I don't know, ya know? - I turned but couldn't leave
I don't know, ya know? - Huh?

So I go up to the counter to order my meal
The dude at the counter tries to offer me a deal
He said what do you want and I tried to tell him what
But the words just weren't a comin', I couldn't cough 'em up
The only thing I could think of were those five stupid words
I repeated and repeated them but he just wouldn't learn
He just kept starin' so I looked him in the eye
It's like I don't know you know I said, now get it or you'll die

Now I can't seem to think of anything to say
I'm tryin' and I'm tryin' but this curse won't go away
I hear 'em in my head they're with me everywhere I go
It seems as if there are only five words that I know
Everytime I talk, the only words that flow are just

I don't know, ya know? - That's what she's sayin' to me
I don't know, ya know? - It haunts me everywhere I go
I don't know, ya know? - The words I can't believe
I don't know, ya know? - My jaw just hit the floor
I don't know, ya know? - I turned but couldn't leave
I don't know, ya know? - Huh?
