Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't really know about
They don't really know about Dro
Niggaz swear they know about Dro
But they say they smokin' that Dro
Hey, I think y'all niggaz playin'
They don't really know about
Niggaz try stoppin' me, fulfill him like a prophecy
While them hoes watchin' me and while them hoes jockin' me
Feds tried to rocket me and knock me out properly
I was on a robbery my gat sung operaly
Five hundred dollar bill teach 'em 'bout Monopoly
Mansion wit the bed in it models lay on top of me
Niggaz tried droppin' me them slugs bounced off of me
Murder niggaz softly, the judge still walkin' me
Hoes get chunked off bitches can't talk to me
Catch a nigga crossin' me they gotta get the law for me
Twenty six possibly I sang to 'em gossiply
I'mma die awesomely with grands on the top of me
Mockin' me, I'll turn ya chest into podomy
Everything mafia growin' up Gotti G
Four fifteen's in the trunk I got a lotta beat
How could these niggaz be Dro? They don't know how to be
Dro
Niggaz swear they know about Dro
But they say they smokin that Dro
Hey, I think y'all niggaz playin'
They don't really know about
They don't really know about Dro
Niggaz swear they know about Dro
But they say they smokin that Dro
Hey, I think y'all niggaz playin'

First I let my chain glow y'all know how that thang go
Put them colors in my rims now I'm ridin' rainbow
Hood nigga fuck 'em all I'm at Charlie train po'
Orange Daytona me and Kuntry ridin' mango
Umbrellas pop out the Phantom do' when it rain though
Polo that fresh like I'm Carson but I ain't lame though
Niggas say I'm fly wit the rappin' but I can sang though
What you know 'bout High tower Ridge and Delmar Lane though
Tech jump out when I'm bustin' but I can aim though
Make a hundred thou if you touch it you get yo brains blowed
M and M, Regal the fuck is you in my lane fo'
Nigga you don't see these goons and what they bring war
Water paint Chevy lil' buddy said that's my rain car
800 Benz lil' 'cause this ain't the same car
Danger anger Herne Home ranger
I was sellin' dope before Jesus was in a manger
Dro
Niggaz swear they know about Dro
But they say they smokin' that Dro
Hey, I think y'all niggaz playin'
They don't really know about

Nigga come short on that gram you gotta scale me
Young Dro post season wit bald head L be
Right by auntie Rachel where Tee tee and me and Lynelle be
Y'all ridin' twenty four's I ride February
Twenty eight inches try to jack and you'll get buried
Twelve gauge shell heat I [?] don't like to bury
Knock a nigga teeth out his mouth for the tooth fairy
Baskin Robbins paint on my Chevy my whip berry
Fifty bricks shawty man, we blew them thangs every week
Last week my Cutlass was blue but it change every week
I be in the club brand new in that thang every week
Haters in the club I shoot two of them lames every week
Y'all game very weak ain't nothin' you can tell me
Pull up in a pearl V they be like, "How the hell he
Sittin' up in the Phantom on Simpson eatin' a twelve piece?"
That's Dro
Niggaz swear they know about Dro
But they say they smokin' that Dro
Hey, I think y'all niggaz playin'

They don't really know about Dro
Niggaz swear they know about Dro
But they say they smokin' that Dro
Hey, I think y'all niggaz playin'
They don't really know about

In the song “Don’t Know Bout Love,” K. Young raps about how many people claim to know about Dro, but they don’t truly know what it is. Dro is a slang term for marijuana, specifically a strain of the plant. K. Young uses the concept of Dro to represent something that people think they know about, but they truly don’t. He asserts that people who claim to know about Dro don’t really know the experiences and lifestyle associated with it.
Throughout the verses, K. Young discusses his experiences with Dro and how he’s been targeted by law enforcement. He brags about his wealth and possessions, which he associates with Dro, such as his mansion and expensive car. K. Young also shows his confidence about being able to handle his enemies and overcome any obstacle, proving that he truly knows about love.
In the chorus, K. Young repeats the phrase “They don’t really know about Dro” to emphasize his point that many people don’t understand the depth of the concept. By comparing Dro to love, K. Young adds a poetic layer to the lyrics and highlights the importance of fully understanding something before claiming to know about it.
