[Verse]
Never have I ever seen Passion of Christ
Never have I ever crashed on a bike
Or been trapped on an island and had to survive
And yeah, I've been trashed a Saturday night (Yeah)
But never have I ever smoked crack from a pipe
I've never started one slow-clap in my life
I never ever sat first class on a flight
Or drank cognac from a bird bath, never tried to fly (Brrrr!)
And yeah, I'm known to cop a dub sac
But I've never have I ever rolled my own blunt wrap (That's true)
Never have I banged to Purple Rain or Dove Shack
Never have I ever loved and been loved back
Fun fact, 'cause I've had a broken heart
But I've never, ever, ever put a woman over art
And I'm never gonna start, never cheated on a chick
But ask me if I've lied, then I'll likely plead the fifth (That's my right)
Never have I seen a ghost or a spirit (Nope)
But if one appears, then I'll know when I'm near it
And if I ever fucked a prophet, I'd be quick to repent
But I've never known Jesus in the Biblical sense
(AHHH!) But I've I think we'd be friends
If he went to my school and was cool and we kicked it in chem
I've never kissed a dude (Eww); well, that's partly true
Are we counting Spin the Bottle at a cast party too?
Oh my God, so gay! Pause
Tick-tick-tick-tick, press play
I've never raved, I've never been Tased
Never maced, or been maced, or been punched in the face (Not yet)
Never have I ever contemplated suicide, or been crucified
Never have I ever mooned another driver from the side of my hooptie ride (Woop-woop!)
Never have I ever swallowed all my foolish pride
(Womp-womp) And I can't really tell
If I'm a good person or I'm faking really well (Not yet, not yet)
'Cause every now and then I'd catch her on the phone
But I never really went to visit grandma at the home
And I've always known that I won't be happy
Until I'm the best version of myself when I'm alone
So fuck thinking of marriage
Until I learn to put another person first and be a parent
I pinky-swear it

[Hook]
I don't know much, I
I won't know much, I
I won't know much until I
Until I know myself
I know I don't know much, I
Know I don't know much, I
Know I won't know much until I
Until I know myself
I know I don't know much, I
Know I don't know much, I
Know I won't know much until I
Until I know myself...

A successful slam poet turned rapper, Watsky first gained attention through ‘Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poetry,’ and a later burst of viral success for his fast rapping. At every turn, Watsky has refused to be pigeonholed, following up his speed rap success with 2013 LP Cardboard Castles, an eccentric ode to creativity, and 2014’s Anderson. Paak-produced All You Can Do. After a hiatus to work on new material, Watsky pivots again, this time to prose, returning simultaneously with the essay collection How To Ruin Everything, published by Plume/Penguin-Random House, of which Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda writes, “funny, subversive […] you find yourself nodding your head in wonder and recognition.” How To Ruin Everything debuted in the New York Times best-selling list. In total, he has created five studio albums and two live albums. Watsky released his fifth album, x INFINITY August 2016, describing it as his most ambitious project yet. Most recently, in January of 2019, he released a short album called Complaint.
