They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
We be in the same room
N' we don't ever say shit
Let's keep it between me and you
N' we cool, 'cause they don't know

I'm the one you'll be texting
When you be up at cho job (they don't know)
I'm the one that bought that Benz
That's in your garage (they don't know)
I'm the reason you don't stress when shit gets hard
And anything you want
It's all yours (they don't know)

On your birthday I'm the one who saw yo birthday suit
(They don't know)
That the Birkin bag
It bought that birthday coupe (they don't know)
I keep it all real
I ain't gotta tell lies to you
You the only one who knows, the truth

They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know

We be in the same room
N' we don't never say shit
Let's keep it between me and you
N' we cool, 'cause they don't know

They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know

They don't even know I know you
You don't be talking like a lame bitch
You follow the rules but keep it cool
'Cause they don't know

We was at the same hotel
Superbowling all star week (they don't know)
You be acting shy
But you chu really an all star freak (they don't know)
That you got my name tattooed on yo body
They don't know you belong to me, yeah
(They don't know) bout the cold nights
And the secret island trips
(They don't know) when I be up in that pussy
I be calling you my bitch (they don't know)
They don't know you like me
They don't know you like me
They don't even know that I share you, with my wifey

They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know

We be in the same room
N' we don't never say shit
Let's keep it between me and you
N' we cool, 'cause they don't know

They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know

They don't even know I know you
You don't be talking like a lame bitch
You follow the rules but keep it cool
'Cause they don't know

You deserve the rewards
G5 planes, you deserve the board
Tell them other lames
They can swerve of course
And I swear to God Imma curve the broads
'Cause they don't know
Vacations they don't go
You stay patient and I respect that
'Cause you know how to play ya post

Them other bitches get antsy
That's why a nigga never treat'em fancy
You get urs off, in Bergdorf
While they bargain shoppin on Delancy
You ain't even tell ya sister
Mama thinking you don't even like niggas
Instagram, you don't even like pictures
That's why I'm fucking withcha

They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know

We be in the same room
N' we don't never say shit
Let's keep it between me and you
N' we cool, 'cause they don't know

They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't, they don't know
They don't know

They don't even know I know you
You don't be talking like a lame bitch
You follow the rules but keep it cool
'Cause they don't know
They don't, they don't know




They don't, they don't know
'Cause they don't know

Overall Meaning

"They Don't Know" by Migos featuring Rico Love is a song about keeping a relationship hidden from the public eye. The lyrics communicate the need for secrecy in a romantic relationship because society may not approve, or it could threaten other relationships. The song implies that the relationship is between a man and a woman. The man brags about providing a comfortable and stress-free life for his partner. He purchased a Benz for her and offers to give her anything she wants, which is all a secret that no one knows about. The relationship also includes sexual encounters, which the man boasts about, as well as a tattoo of his name on the woman's body. He acknowledges that other women may try to undermine the relationship, but he assures the woman that she is the only one for him.
