Amy Winehouse’s mashup with Ghostface Killah is a creative blend of her soulful style and his gritty, lyrical hip-hop. The collaboration is most famously embodied in “You Know I’m No Good,” which appeared on Winehouse’s critically acclaimed album Back to Black (2006). A remix version featuring Ghostface Killah was later released, offering an exciting crossover between her jazz-infused, retro sound and his sharp, streetwise rhymes.

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt You say, “What did you do with him today?” And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray

‘Cause you’re my fella, my guy Hand me your Stella and fly By the time I’m out the door You tear men down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself Like I knew I would I told you I was trouble You know that I’m no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy He’s in a place but I can’t get joy Thinking on you in the final throes This is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet you, chips and pita You say, “when we married, ” ’cause you’re not bitter “There’ll be none of him no more” I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself Like I knew I would I told you I was trouble You know that I’m no good

Yo, aye yo I knew you was trouble When I first laid eyes on you Temperature so hot the heat just rise with you Lemme ride with you talk about your mistakes You cheated yourself but these are the breaks

And it’ll never be the same again ’cause of old boy But, oh boy Together we make so much joy In the sands, and, oh, what a web we weave But you played me so I had to roll up my sleeves

And hunt you down, holding the next man’s stacks Now you sorry and trying to bring that old thing back Act like we can rekindle that flame It’s a shame How you can’t get me off the brain He that lame

You love how I bring the pain Got them rug burns stinging and you saying my name Say my name, uh That’s right I’m high post Get the champagne love word up we gonna toast

I cheated myself Like I knew I would I told you I, I was trouble You know that I’m no good

I cheated myself Like I knew I would I told you I was trouble Yeah, you know that I’m no good
