You Don't Know Me
T.I. and DJ Drama Lyrics

You might see me in the street
You may catch a glimpse of me in public

But nigga you don't know me
But that doesn't mean you know anything about me or my life

When ya holla on the street
When you call out to me on the street

Rememba you don't know me
Just remember that you don't have any real knowledge of who I am

Save all the hatin' and the poppin'
Stop with all the negativity and aggression

Nigga you don't know me
Because you don't truly know me

Quit tellin' niggas you my partna
Stop telling people that we are partners or friends

Don't be recruitin' keep it movin'
Don't try to convince others to side with you, just keep going with your own path

Hey I ain't trippin' but the truth is
I'm not upset, but the reality is

Really you don't know me
You genuinely do not know me

Ya you know they call me T.I.
Yes, you may know me by my stage name T.I.

But you don't know me
But you still do not truly understand who I am

You be hatin' and I see why
You show hate towards me and I understand why

'Cause you don't know me
Because you lack a true understanding of who I am

I think its time I made a song fo niggas who don't know me
I believe it's time for me to create a song for those who have misconceptions about me

I graduated at the streets, I'ma real OG
I obtained my education and life lessons from the streets, making me a true original gangster

I been trappin' shootin' pistols since I stood on both feet
I have been involved in illegal activities such as selling drugs and using firearms for as long as I can remember

So while you niggas actin bad, you gon have to show me
So if you are trying to act tough or intimidate me, you will have to prove it

You gone make me bring a chevy to a real slow creek
You are pushing me so far that I will bring a car to a remote location and harm you

My niggas hangin' out the window, mouth fulla gold teeth
My associates are leaning out the car windows, displaying their gold teeth

When the guns start poppin', wonder when its gonna cease
As the gunfire continues, we begin to question when it will come to an end

Chopper hitchu on the side and create a slow leak
As we shoot, the bullets hit your car and cause a slow leak

We been in the speculation 'cause today we gone see
We have been in a state of uncertainty, but now we will find out what will happen

What's the future of a pussy nigga hatin' on me
What will happen to someone who is cowardly and hateful towards me

I giva fuck about the feds investigation on me
I do not care about the government's inquiry into my life

I don't care they at my shows and they waitin' on me
I am not bothered by the fact that federal agents attend my concerts and wait for me

I'ma keep a flossy poppin' long as to is on the beat
I will continue to flaunt my wealth and success as long as the music is playing

Tell police that I ain't stoppin' I'ma keep it in the streets
Inform law enforcement that I will not be stopping and will continue participating in illegal activities

Contrary to yo believes, I'm as real as you can be
Despite your assumptions, I am as authentic as a person can get

Fuck yo thoughts and yo feelings nigga you don't know me
I do not care about your opinions or emotions because you lack genuine understanding of who I am

Hey once again let me remind you nigga you don't know me
Once more, let me reiterate that you do not have an accurate comprehension of who I am

So don't be walkin' up and askin' whats the deal ona Ki
Therefore, do not approach me and inquire about any illegal activities I may be involved in

I don't know if you wearin' wires you could be the police
I do not trust that you are not secretly working with law enforcement as an informant

If I was slangin' dope you couldnt get an OZ
If I were selling drugs, you would not even be able to buy an ounce from me

See me at the PSC follow thru and tha show deep
Find me at the PSC and come along to a wild party

Homies holdin' up the doe, 'cause they know we tote heat
My companions are holding up the money because they know we are carrying firearms

I just wanna wrap a C, blow a dro ina flee
I simply want to roll and smoke marijuana in my car

Only playin' bout a dozen different pictures in a week
I am only pretending to be involved in a large number of illicit activities

I just wanna chill with country and his daddy Freddy G
I just want to hang out with Country and his father Freddy G

Ballin' out every time, every stone is but a G
I am always living extravagantly, and every piece of jewelry I wear is worth at least $1,000

Wanna ball in the Bahamas courtesy of KT
I want to vacation in the Bahamas, courtesy of KT

Fact I only gotta Mill, as well as a dolla DP
In reality, I only have one million dollars, and a dollar for every death penalty I could face

Ak house on the hill right next to JG
I own an AK house on a hill next to JG's property

Every week be there for lunch, busta blunt and eat free
Every week, I am in the same spot for lunch, smoking marijuana and eating for free

Get in day paid Lil Craig dead meat
If you do not pay me what you owe me, Lil Craig is in big trouble

That's the only shot we got at gettin' cap back on the streets
This is the only way we can turn things around and regain our status in the streets

You see a nigga hatin' on a G
If you observe someone being hateful towards a gangster

Ask em what's it gonna be
Ask them what they plan to do

Whatcha lookin' at, pussy nigga you don't know me
What are you staring at? You cowardly person, you lack a comprehension of who I am

At the club, in the streets
Whether you see me at the club or in public places

Or where ever we should meet
Anywhere we may come across one another

It's choppa choppin' pistols poppin' nigga you don't know me
Without any warning, we may start firing our rifles and handguns, proving that you really don't know anything about me
