Nobody
Rapsody Lyrics

Can we just sigh? Can we let go?
Can we take a moment to release our burdens? Can we allow ourselves to be vulnerable?

Breathe in inside, just let it show
Take a deep breath and let your true feelings be seen

Yeah, I thought I had the answer
I believed I had the solution

But, I could not solve it (oh my God)
But I was unable to figure it out, it was beyond my ability

Even if you were to answer
Even if someone were to provide the answer

I could not call it
I still wouldn't be able to make a definite decision

Uh, nobody know nada
Nobody knows anything

We all know the fate of Assata if Cuba don't harbor
We are aware of what might happen to Assata if she doesn't find refuge in Cuba

Nobody know I'm harder on myself than lonely fathers
Nobody realizes how tough I am on myself, similar to fathers who raise their children alone

Watching Mrs. Parker, these days nobody know who authored
Observing Mrs. Parker, nowadays people don't know who the true creators are

Rhymes of rappers on carpets
The lyrics of rappers often left forgotten

Nobody know who real or not
It's difficult to determine who is genuine and who is not

Nobody still know who shot Big and Pac, I'm bothered
Nobody has been able to identify who was responsible for shooting Biggie and Tupac, and it troubles me

Prayed to our fathers for sins I committed summers
I've prayed to our ancestors for the wrongs I committed in the past

Don't nobody know how many but we know our days are numbered
No one knows the exact number, but we're aware that our time is limited

Nobody know the true religion
Nobody truly knows the correct or universal religion

So why nobody know to show respect and mind your business
So, if nobody knows the real answer, shouldn't they show respect and refrain from meddling in other people's affairs?

I know prison business, but nobody know how many innocent in it
I am well-informed about the workings of prisons, but no one knows the exact number of innocent people within them

Nobody know that cures cancer been made by the chemist
Nobody realizes that chemists have already discovered cures for cancer

Nobody know the cost of a dollar worth less to em Kendrick
Nobody understands the true value of a dollar, especially to someone like Kendrick

Nobody smart enough would ever say racism ended
No intelligent person would claim that racism has disappeared

I get winded by the weight of it all
I become overwhelmed by the heaviness of it all

'Cause everybody talkin' shit but don't know nothin' at all
Because everyone is talking nonsense without truly understanding anything

Nobody know I'm scared of personal shit
Nobody knows that I am afraid of revealing personal information

'Cause everybody judge you, love to change the intent
Because everyone loves to judge and twist your true meaning

Internet got no chill, nobody know how it feel to be an artist
The internet is relentless, nobody understands the emotions of being an artist

Look, nigga this some marvelous shit
Listen, this is a remarkable situation

Before politics, arguing real vs radio hits
Before politics came into play, we used to debate what is authentic versus what is popular on the radio

It's all Hip Hop, you can't divide what ain't different
It's all part of the Hip Hop culture, you can't separate what is not distinct

Don't like all underground music, I don't hate all music that isnt
I may not like all underground music, but that doesn't mean I hate all other genres

I was just making it clap to Wacka Flacka last Christmas
I was just having fun dancing to Wacka Flacka last Christmas

Clap for a nigga wit her rappin' ass
Applaud a person with skill in rapping

Nobody know if tomorrow promised live like it's your last
Nobody knows if we are guaranteed tomorrow, so live each day as if it's your final one

Tell that crush you got you love em, they might love you back
Express your feelings to the person you have a crush on, as they might feel the same way about you

Nobody know if we don't speak up, we don't know the math
If we don't voice our opinions, we won't understand the truth

Google the name, if nobody know nobody can fill these shoes I'm in
Search the name, if there is no recognition, then no one can replace me in my current position

Watch niggas that joke around and say they just playin'
Be cautious of people who make jokes and claim they are only kidding

Beatin' me your odds look better bettin' Lt. Dan could walk water
If you think you can beat me, the chances of that happening are as unlikely as Lieutenant Dan walking on water

Barefoot, runnin' with Forest chasing a van
Running without shoes, being pursued by Forrest Gump in a van

If nobody know that this gon' show you that I ain't playin', nigga
If nobody knows about this, it will prove that I'm serious

If nobody, nobody matters
If nobody, nobody is important

Why do I bother
Why do I even care

But, I thought I had the answer
But, I believed I had the solution

But, who knows anyway
But, in the end, who really knows

Nobody, nobody else matter
No one else matters

Who knows anyway
Who knows in the end

Nobody, nobody matters
No one matters

Who knows anyway
Who really knows in the end

Who knows anyway (yeah yeah)
Who knows anyway (yeah yeah)

Lost soldier wit the bars on the shoulders of my uniform
I am a soldier with exceptional lyrical skills, carrying the weight of my experiences

That makes 'em ask what I do and who I do it for
This leads people to question my purpose and motivations

Musically, I been on my true intelligent of four
In terms of music, I have reached a higher level of intelligence and wisdom

That's 12 years a slave, but I'm on year 23 or 4
This is comparable to being enslaved for 12 years, but I have been enduring for 23 or 24 years

Been a lyrical grand wizard like Theodore
I have been a master of lyrical skills, similar to Theodore

I'm on the same wave length the sister Rapsody is on
I am on the same wavelength as Rapsody, the female rapper

I love it when she get on her Bahamadia jawn
I enjoy when she displays her talents in the style of Bahamadia

If she wasn't true she would've never gotten me involved
If she wasn't genuine, I would not have become part of her journey

Between the world and me like Ta-Nehisi Coates
In a similar manner as Ta-Nehisi Coates, I navigate the space between society and myself

Nobody know the artist Mr. Ta-nehisi quotes
Nobody realizes the philosophical insights that Mr. Ta-Nehisi Coates shares

Laughin a boars, they grasping at straws to sniff the dope
They are foolishly attempting to find a way to understand the greatness

Pen been engaged for ages we should probably elope
My pen has been committed to writing for a long time, we should probably marry

Nobody knows how I shoot for the stars or aim at the moon
Nobody understands how I aspire for greatness and set my goals high

Or how I put a band-aid pon a bullet wound
Or how I try to fix a deep wound with a temporary solution

Or, how no matter who you are I'm just as good as you
Or, how I believe that no matter who you are, I am just as talented as you

If not better
Or even better

Shit, I ain't even sure my mother knew
Damn, I'm not even certain that my own mother understood

It hurts, yeah 2014 was the worst year
It's painful, yeah, 2014 was the most difficult year

I lost the only person aware of my worst fear
I lost the only person who knew my deepest fear

That's when I shifted up to fifth from first gear
That's when I changed gears from being cautious to being more confident

And then I headed back to work and had church there
And then I returned to my craft and found solace in my work

I am an open book now, got a few chapters written down
Now, I am transparent and have already written a few chapters of my life story

Still a few to go, couldn't think coming down till I say so
There are still a few chapters left to write, and I won't stop until I decide it's over

I think you better wake up now, think you better wake up now
I believe it's time for you to wake up and become aware

Hello hello, what up what up

I gotta tell 'em where I'm going, and explain why I got beef
I have to inform them where I'm headed and explain the reasons for my conflicts

Gotta talk smack to these rappers we all fans of underneath
I have to talk trash to the rappers we all admire secretly

Gotta tell 'em when I shit and when I go to sleep
I have to inform them when I use the bathroom and when I go to sleep

I have to send Snapchats with my significant other and if I were to smoke weed

Wait a minute, I received a direct message from my significant other, girl
