Wanna Know U
J. Hollins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't think you wanna know
Where I've gone, what I've seen
What I've done, Yeah
I don't think you wanna know
I've been in places that your parents say to run from
I don't think you wanna know
I've seen it all, rise and fall
And it's just begun
I don't think you wanna know
I've done it all, cause the jobs gotta get done

So, I don't think you wanna know
So, I don't think you wanna know
Shout out to my boys at MOE
No, I don't think they wanna know

I'm being honest with you
I don't think you wanna see things from my point of view
I'm only speaking the truth
So, tell the hypocritical minds to get out my booth
Now let me recollect
So, I can put it down with decency and show respect
I hold it down for my town
They know I'm coming next
You better count your blessings boy
I'm aiming for your neck

I'm tired of all the mumbling
And fumbling and juggling
And all the struggling, and hustling
With people tussling
So now I'm coming in
Or maybe I'd be better suited just bustin' in
Mic in hand, based up, and now we bumpin' it
Ain't it funny how nothing turn into something quick
Now I hope you can comprehend this a little bit
Here's a shot for all the boys that's out here actin slick
And all the ladies that out here portraying innocence
I know, I know enough to say I got the common sense
To stay away from your ways, that lead to pestilence
Matter fact
Keep it, Irrelevant
It left the room, it's gone
The elephant
I'm tryna close this in
The defecit
J.Snider's the name
Remember it
You didn't wanna know
It's cool
I handled it
Tore it down into pieces
Dismantled it

I don't think you wanna know
Where I've gone, what I've seen
What I've done, Yeah
I don't think you wanna know
I've been in places that your parents say to run from
I don't think you wanna know
I've seen it all, rise and fall
And it's just begun
I don't think you wanna know
I've done it all, cause the jobs gotta get done

So, I don't think you wanna know
So, I don't think you wanna know
Shout out to my boys at MOE
No, I don't think they wanna know

Yeah

Where I came from
Where I'm finna go
All this pain that I see like a window
All this pride, it gets swallowed like codeine pulls
Keep my eyes on the prize I can't let it go
It's the only thing pushing me to reach the goal
Even when it feel like I don't wanna flow
I'm a still let it fly, I do it for the MOE
Keep that hatin' to yourself
We don't need that
Legend has it I'm the truth
You should read that
Nothin' out here coming free
Best believe that
Cause life will throw them punches at you like a speedbag
Homie ready for the water
Said she ridin'wave
When the path get dark
Can you find the way
How does your mind, define better days
These are the questions to the game that we're tryna play
I don't think they wanna know
Where I came from
Where I've been to
All this pain I can see through
All this pride that I swallowed like fruit juice
I keep my eyes on the prize
I can't let it move
It's the only thing that make me do what I do
Keep my eyes on the prize
I can't let it move
I don't think they wanna know what I've been through

I don't think you wanna know
Where I've gone, what I've seen
What I've done, Yeah
I don't think you wanna know
I've been in places that your parents say to run from
I don't think you wanna know
I've seen it all, rise and fall
And it's just begun
I don't think you wanna know
I've done it all, cause the jobs gotta get done

So, I don't think you wanna know
So, I don't think you wanna know




Shout out to my boys at MOE
No, I don't think they wanna know

Overall Meaning

The song "Wanna Know U" by J. Hollins is about the experiences he has gone through in life that he believes others may not want to know about.

In the second verse, Hollins ignores the "hypocritical minds" and speaks his truth. He reflects on his experiences and acknowledges the struggling and hustling he has gone through. Hollins talks about how he has learned to stay away from unhealthy situations and to keep his eyes on the prize. He expresses his desire to succeed despite the obstacles he has faced. The bridge features a female vocal that echoes the chorus, and the song finishes on another repetition of the chorus.
