You Don't Know
G.L.O.W. & Oliver Lang Lyrics

You don't know me, but I do
You may think you know me, but in reality, I know myself better than anyone else does.

Niggas hoe me, but I'm true
Although people may disrespect me, I always stay true to myself and my values.

They lied on me, Get lied to
People who spread lies about me will eventually suffer the consequences of their own deceitful behavior.

But I'm a real ass nigga
I am a genuinely honest and authentic person, despite how others may try to paint me.

Ain't another nigga beating up the game like this
I am the best at what I do and no one can rival my skills or success.

You don't know another nigga with a name like this
My name is unique and nobody else has a reputation quite like mine.

Know a bunch of folks want to kick that dirt
Many people want to drag me down and tarnish my reputation with gossip and rumors.

Mad cause I told the truth when I spit that verse
People are angry with me because I spoke the truth when I rapped about my experiences and opinions.

But I ain't never lie, so if that hurt
I have never told a lie, so if someone is hurt by the truth, that is their own problem.

I don't apologize, I meant that jerk
I will not apologize for being honest and expressing myself, even if it offends others.

Probably want to see me in a big black hearst
Some people may wish for my death and to see me in a funeral procession.

I admit this rap is a gift and curse
While rapping has brought me success and fame, it also comes with its own set of challenges and difficulties.

Money came slow trying to flip that work
It took a lot of hard work for me to earn a successful living through selling drugs.

So I run up in the store and I hit that clerk
I resorted to robbery in order to make a quick profit, even though it was illegal.

But now my grown mind like is that worth
As I matured, I began to question whether the risks I took and the actions I committed were ultimately worth it.

Everything I risked trying to get that purse
I put my life and freedom on the line in pursuit of material possessions and financial gain.

Used to load the clip and burst
I used to carry a gun and would even use it if necessary.

Smoke a nick sack then go and sit at church
I would smoke marijuana and then try to find solace and forgiveness through attending church.

And I ain't get the shit at first
At first, I did not fully understand the errors of my ways and how my actions were hurting myself and those around me.

Now I see the fuck shit made my life worse
I now realize that my criminal lifestyle was ultimately causing more harm and strife than benefit in my life.

You don't know another nigga keep it G like this
Nobody else can keep it real and authentic like I can.

Why apologize to you cause I see like this
I do not see the point in apologizing for speaking the truth and being honest with myself.

Is it cause I speak real life shit
People are uncomfortable with me because I speak bluntly and realistically about my experiences and observations.

And a bunch of real niggas probably feel like him
I am not alone in my experiences and many other people, especially those from similar backgrounds, can relate to me.

A punk'll squeal nigga if he feel boxed in
Someone who is weak and cowardly will always betray their peers if they feel threatened or cornered.

So you knew him since a little nigga, still watch him
Even if you have known someone for a long time, it is important to monitor their actions and character to ensure their trustworthiness.

My nigga Tez doing five in the hole
My friend Tez is currently serving a five year prison sentence in solitary confinement.

Went before the judge, they denied his parole
Tez was denied parole and will have to serve his entire sentence without any chance of early release.

And his girl had another child while he gone
Tez's girlfriend had another baby while he was in prison and he may not even know about it.

I wonder if he know, or do he have a clue
I am unsure whether Tez is aware of the recent developments in his family life while he has been incarcerated.

I ain't have the heart to tell him, but I know I should have fool
Although it was difficult, I probably should have told Tez about his new child, even if it would have hurt him.

Went to his son's birthday he bout to start school
I attended Tez's son's birthday party, who is about to start school, in order to show my support for the family.

Man this shit so wild
Life can be unpredictable and difficult to handle at times.

Ain't it crazy in the hood, how it all go down
The events and circumstances within the community can be volatile and unexpected.

My skin is my sin since I been on earth
Having dark skin has caused me to be judged and discriminated against my entire life and is therefore considered a setback or disadvantage.
