Intro
Sound-Silence Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know me anymore
I don't know

I don't know me anymore
I don't know
Ayy
Still lying on the floor
With a note

Ayy
Never thought I'd get to see
What i'd be
Ooh
If I ever let them get the best of me
No
Nobody ever knows what goes on
Ayy
So I always try to put it in a song
Ooh
Cus it's easier to let the music speak
Ayy
Then say it to your face
Cus I'm weak
Uh
We all wear masks
Sometimes to don't see it
Wear it long enough
I promise you will be it
It's not the mirror that is wrong
It's your pride
Cause you don't ever show
Your other side

I don't know me anymore
I don't know

Aye
Let me get real with ya
I don't know me anymore
I don't know
I let the limelight
And attention take my soul
Got way too high
In my talent and my potential
So God humbled my pride
And got me level
Put all my time and my focus
On the wrong things
Lost myself
And my vision
I was drowning
In my own repercussions
And the clout
Man that trap is dangerous
Hard to get out
Was tryna be someone
That I wasn't
Ayy
Just cause they are winning
And I wasn't
Ooh
But it don't mean nothing
If I'm faking
Ayy
Cause we got way too many copies
In the industry

I don't know me anymore
I don't know
