Nobody Knows
Stephen Smith Lyrics

The world is cold, the block is hot
The society is harsh but the streets are even tougher.

My dad is gone, so hug the block
Since I lost my father, I have been focusing on making money through illegal means.

Scope the spot, I pick the lock
I carefully observe and plan my criminal activities by breaking into secured locations.

Home invasion was the plot
My intention was to enter someone's home illegally to rob or harm them.

Squeeze the (Bleep), hit the lick
To get money, I am willing to use violence and rob others.

Make the drop
I complete the planned transaction and exchange illegal goods for cash.

Fuck the cops, I ain't never ran from shit
I don't respect law enforcement and I am not afraid of getting caught.

To get rich you gotta take them risks
I am willing to take risky actions to make money, even if it means breaking the law.

I got a case pending on me right now
I am currently being prosecuted for a crime.

Shout out to my brother he just made it out of trial
I am happy that my friend got acquitted of his charges.

I need to fight the power, but I want this Lamborghini
I want to speak up against the oppressive system, but I am also materialistic and want a luxurious car.

And a big booty girl, but her waist is really teenie
I desire a girl with a curvy figure and a small waist.

Got a semi-automatic for static
I carry a gun for self-defense and to intimidate others.

I'm Virgil Hawkins, Bang Baby Bang Baby
I am associated with the vigilante superhero Bang Baby from the cartoon Static Shock.

I don't go out much, I'm too crazy
I am paranoid and unstable, and I prefer to stay indoors.

Pussy ass niggas getting clapped round here
People who are weak or cowardly get harmed or killed in my neighborhood.

Don't you ever bring your ass round here
I don't want any outsiders or strangers coming into my area without my permission.

Apparatus, real strict round here
The authorities are very strict and vigilant in my neighborhood.

MAC-11 on the dresser
I have a MAC-11 gun stored on my dresser for easy access.

We goin' see you in the paper if you being extra extra
If you act overly suspicious or out of the ordinary, the authorities will notice and investigate you.

Read about it, fuck the judge and the county
The news will report on my criminal activity and I don't trust the legal system.

Got the glizzy for the drama
I carry a gun to protect myself from any potential conflicts or danger.

I'ma do this for my momma
I am committing these crimes to provide financially for my mother.

Came a long way from dope boy scales and marijuana
I have progressed from selling small quantities of drugs to larger, more illegal activities.

Only thing left is baking soda on the counter
I have reached the peak of my criminal career, with only a small amount of drugs left to sell.

Get adapt to the case loads of crack
I am trying to cope with the large amounts of drugs I have been selling.

The yayo the smack
I am involved in selling cocaine and heroin.

The face blows the gats
I may use physical violence or firearms to harm others during my criminal activity.

Smell that, we cook it until it smell flat
I will continue to prepare drugs until they no longer have a strong scent and thus cannot be easily detected.

Vaseline it up and ship it out in gel packs
I cover the drugs in petroleum jelly to avoid detection and then send them in gel form for easier transport.

If god love niggas why he put us in this trap
If God truly loves black people, why has he allowed us to be trapped in poverty and crime?

Why he made the black man with a target on our back
It seems like being born black comes with a disadvantage and makes us a target for oppression and discrimination.

Introduce me to this crack put my sister on the track
Someone introduced me to selling crack and I started involving family members, like my sister, in the business.

A young black man mind be racing
As a young black man, my mind is constantly active and searching for ways to make money and survive in this oppressive system.

Understand that I need pollination
I need investment and support, like a plant needs pollination, to overcome my circumstances and succeed.

We don't do the idle conversation
I am not interested in small talk or meaningless conversations when I have important matters to focus on.

That's abomination
I consider pointless conversations or behavior to be a sin or a waste of time.

Everybody not gon' like you, fuck world domination fam you sound like Satan
I acknowledge that not everyone will support me or my dreams, and I don't care about having power over the world. Pursuing that kind of ambition makes me look like a villain.

Glory be to god, I'm non-adjacent
I thank God for my circumstances and successes, but I also recognize that I am not free from struggles and obstacles.

The combination got me confident, despite the matrix
My skills and resources give me confidence, even in a system that is designed to oppress me.

Despite the metrics I'm invested nigga, what's that fragrance
Even though the odds may be against me, I am still committed to making money and succeeding. What is that smell? (as in, I can smell success coming)

It smell like bitch in here, we got tents we can pitch in here
It smells like weakness or cowardice here, but we have our own space where we can stay and be strong.

I'm just trying to be patient
I am trying to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity to make my move and advance my situation.

Not trying to be Jacob, even though I could just take it
I am not trying to be a trickster or manipulator, even though I am capable of taking advantage of others.

Give it to 'em naked and they forsake it
If I am honest or vulnerable with someone, they will likely betray or reject me.

And for a second
For a brief moment.

Niggas question but the training hyperbolic
People may doubt my abilities, but I have been prepared and trained to be successful.

So you see it I don't got to say shit
My actions speak for themselves, and I don't need to explain or justify them.

And I don't play much
I am not interested in playing around or wasting time.

Fragile manhoods can't take jabs so, I don't play fight
Men who are insecure cannot handle being challenged or criticized, so I avoid engaging in physical confrontations.

I'm on my play write
I am focused on my creative writing and artistic pursuits.

I scribble poetry, you see the action
I write thoughtful and meaningful poetry, and my behavior and work reflect my values and ambitions.

It's like a picture you don't need the caption
My work is self-explanatory and doesn't require explanation.

She said you get me I could start relaxing
A woman I am interested in told me that she feels comfortable and understood when she's with me.

Like a perm or a burn nigga not playing
I am serious and focused, like getting a permanent hairstyle or a burn from a hot object.

Three Hebrew boys got the hot hand
A reference to a Bible story where three young Hebrew men were unharmed by a blazing furnace, suggesting that I am similarly protected or untouchable.

And I'm feeling Willy Wonka take the top off
I feel triumphant and accomplished, as if I am opening a golden ticket like in the book and movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

And I'm selling soil nigga ain't no drop off
I am still successfully selling drugs, and my business has not suffered any decline or setback.

But nobody knows
Despite my successes and my struggles, nobody really knows the true depth of my situation or my feelings.

Nobody knows
I keep a lot of secrets and private details about my life and my actions to myself.

Nobody knows
Even my closest friends or family members may not know everything about me and my illegal activities.

Nobody knows
I am isolated and secretive, and nobody may ever know the true extent of my plight or my achievements.

But nobody knows
Ultimately, I am alone with my thoughts and my actions, and nobody truly understands me or my motivations.

Nobody knows
I am a mystery to others and myself, and my true nature and destiny may forever remain unknown.

Nobody knows
Even if people learn about my successes and my crimes, they will never truly know the complexity or the humanity of my situation.
