All I did was keep it G, so why they hatin' on me (why they hatin' on me)
Ain't been sleepin' 'bout two weeks, well, I've been makin' money (I've been makin' money)
In that jungle, I got muscle, got no patience, I be
Lost for words, so fuck them verse, I keep my banger on me (my banger on me)
I don't know what you've been told, we gettin' figures, nigga (we gettin' figures, nigga)
I don't know what you've been told, but you gon' feel a nigga (you gon' feel a nigga)
I don't know what you've been told (I dont know, I don't know)
I don't know what you're smokin'

Niggas [?] got my [?]
Raid my home when I'm with [?]
Stand-up nigga, ain't no fallin'
Niggas bogus, what they smokin?

I don't wanna hear all them gangster [?] stories you tellin', you killin' my vibe (my vibe)
Word on the street, you a bitch and you rattin', so we gon' put you in a box (brr)
Smokin' that gas, moon rock (gang, gang), all of my niggas move rocks (yeah)
I ain't goin' out like 'Pac (ah-ah), walkin' round strapped two Glocks (ah)
I don't wanna be cocky, but I got it (I got it)
Know I keep it trill, I keep a pretty bitch with Molly's (mm)
She love me 'cause she know there ain't no bitch in me (no bitch in me)
I'm a gangster, I sense niggas with bitch tendencies (bitch tendencies)
All I did was keep it G, so why they hatin' on me (why they hatin' on me)
Ain't been sleepin' 'bout two weeks, well, I've been makin' money (I've been makin' money)
In that jungle, I got muscle, got no patience, I be
Lost for words, so fuck them verse, I keep my banger on me (my banger on me)

Keep my bang award (my bang), I heard they sangin' on me (my bang)

Dracos, fuck a switchblade, ten toes, and the streets big (oh)
Geeked up, I can't sleep babe (oh), straighten his ass, there's no peace, babe (yeah)
Gotta ride with the gang, gang, drop niggas daily, and we gangbang (gang, gangbang)
Sip syrup just to numb pain, bad habits, doin' dumb things (yeah)
Tryna change for the better, but you know it takes time for some things (some things)
Down to ride on whoever, leave a nigga block filled with bloodstains (stains)
Leave a heart, this a ten summer, niggas knowin' how to treat bombin'
Pussy free, but I pay for it, late night and a day for it
One life, you can't re-do it, I get high just to get through it
Yah, get high just to get through it
All I did was keep it G, so why they hatin' on me
Ain't been sleepin' 'bout two weeks, well, I've been makin' money
In that jungle, I got muscle, got no patience, I be
Lost for words, so fuck them verse, I keep my banger on me
I don't know what you've been told, but I've been gettin' it, nigga
I don't know what you've been told, we gettin' figures, nigga
I don't know what you've been told, but you gon' feel a nigga
I don't know what you've been told
Niggas show their true colours unintentionally, nigga, pay attention nephew
Niggas know what's happenin' with us, yuh heard me?
No matter the situation, nigga, never let your emotions overpower your inteligence
We been out here doin' this shit, nigga
Uptown in the buildin', nigga, wild Magnolia, 26 13 6 cut like that yuh

In "I Don't Know" by Neno Calvin, the lyrics depict the rapper's nonchalant attitude towards people hating on him while he mainly focuses on hustling and making money in the jungles where he possesses muscle and impatience that compels him to keep holding his banger as backup. He doesn't care about what people have been told about him as long as he has been acquiring wealth and figures. The rapper flexes his gangster-like attitude by stating that he doesn't want to hear gangster-related stories from anyone and assures that his girl loves him because he doesn't possess any bitch tendencies. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes Neno Calvin's capability of accumulating wealth and how people have misunderstood him.
The song starts with the rapper introducing himself as a Magnolia nigga, followed by a signature "Super Iz," before paying an ode to his producer, D-Roc, who holds a considerable part in the making of the song. The song showcases the rap industry's current trend of recurrent mentions of drugs, guns, and gang activities that popularize the hip-hop genre. Neno addresses people who doubt his ability to perform as a gangster and refers to them as bitches while referring to the streets as his home. The artist flexes his ego on the chorus, implying that he cares less about people's opinions and only focuses on his wealth acquisition.
