To know you now, is not to know you then
You were down, you were out
You needed a friend to pick you up
To pull you through
You said you'd never forget
You'd always be true

[Chorus]
But, people like you make it to the top,
Climbing up the friends they drop
Do anything to get where you are
You were low on talent, but high on PR
I knew you when, I knew you
I knew you when, I knew you when

To hear you talk, the things you say
How you struggled to get, where you are today
But you don't know nothin' bout payin' dues
Cause somebody else is always payin' for you

[Chorus]
But, people like you make it to the top,
Climbing up the friends they drop
Do anything to get where you are
You were low on talent, but high on PR
I knew you when, I knew you
I knew you when, I knew you when

Now that you reached the top,
Be careful baby, don't fall off
Seeing how you treat your friends,
Your enemies are circling

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I knew you when
I knew you when
I knew you when
I knew you when,
I knew you when... I knew you then.
