Talking like they know us
Fuckout
Does anybody know about the underdog (Nobody knows)
Did they know the boy coming up (Nobody knows)
Do they see the nigga work alot (Nobody knows)
Yeah - Nobody knows
Do you really think I’m poppin off (Nobody knows)
When’s the game gonna put you on (Nobody knows)
Dalli Rated
Nobody knows all the answers to get you on - yeah
Nobody knows and I’m learning that coming up - yeah
Especially when nobody knows who you are
Nobody owes you a dime when you’re in it to be a star - yeah
Stay grinding we’re going for gold
When they’re asking us how we got it we give them the code
When I’m asking them how they got it nobody will know
My confidence be the reason you taking a blow
And your lack of knowledge of yourself is keeping you low
I stay high and stay focused I’m keeping it drone
Nicki on the graphics and my nigga blast on the beat
You’re not a real god if you’re winning alone
That’s why a nigga passionate when I’m writing these classics
You’re living to play safe we do it dramatic
We’re going for drastic and we’re passing on your plastics
They want favours and that’s the reason I’m asking
What you know about the underdog (Nobody knows)
Did they know the boy coming up (Nobody knows)
Do they see the nigga work a lot (Nobody knows)
Figures - Nobody knows
How the hell do you think I got it dawg (Nobody knows)
Do you really think I’m poppin off (Nobody knows)
When’s the game gonna put you on (Nobody knows)
Fuck - Nobody knows
Ah
We say God bless the god blessed
I put it on my skin nigga we’re hard pressed
I’m celebrating wins nigga a convert
Weight on my shoulders, still a soldier niggas it’s combat
Nobody knows I put ten thousand hours
Lost a lot of people nigga ten thousand flowers
Nobody knows that I died inside
Nobody knows that I hide my pride
I’m like a lost lion
Kung pow nigga I break necks
Your slave ass still doing shows where they cake first
I tell them fuck you nigga
Better break check
With you they’re covering the blow - rubber safe sex
Nobody knows we don’t sleep, we don’t beg neither
That shit’s morphed now we’re the best reapers
Undertakers nigga six deeper
Mean beat eater
Even my girl say I’m a real keeper
Nobody knows that I’m ruthless
They say I’m humble nigga truth is
I play the game with a pool stick
Whether I’m frustrated or not
I put it in the music
Duct tape on the block - I’m living for the movement
This shits God given
You can’t snatch what this god put in
I’m like a star when you chumps zoom in
It’s real paradise
They say it takes a couple light years for y'all to see that they’re hella bright
What you know about the underdog (Nobody knows)
Did they know the boy coming up (Nobody knows)
Do they see the nigga work a lot (Nobody knows)
Figures - Nobody knows
How the hell do you think I got it dawg (Nobody knows)
Do you really think I’m poppin off (Nobody knows)
When’s the game gonna put you on (Nobody knows)
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

The song "Nobody Knows" by TRC FT Z.O is a raw and honest depiction of life in the streets, where loyalty and silence are valued above anything else. The lyrics detail the experiences of several men who have been arrested and interrogated by the police, with each verse revealing a different aspect of the struggle they face. The song speaks to the isolation and desperation that can come with being targeted by the justice system, as well as the fears and desires that motivate people to participate in illicit activities.
One of the central themes of "Nobody Knows" is the idea that information is power, and in this context, it is also a means of control. The police use intimidation and deception to try to extract confessions from the men, and they are constantly searching for any incriminating details that they can use to build a case against them. However, the men refuse to cooperate, reflecting a deep sense of pride in their ability to keep their mouths shut and protect their reputations as "real" criminals. The song also touches on the consequences of this refusal, as there are implications for both themselves and their close associates. The idea of loyalty is a powerful thread running throughout the lyrics, and it speaks to the complex network of relationships that make up this world.
The song's chorus, which is repeated throughout, features a defiant message of resistance, with each rapper repeating the same words: "I don't know nobody, and I ain't seen shit / that's the way it is, you try to lock me up / Put me in cuffs, motherfucker, hand in your Benz." This refrain serves as a rallying cry for listeners who can relate to the struggles of the characters in the song, and it emphasizes the importance of solidarity and mutual support.

Nobody knows that I hide my pride
Nobody recognizes that I conceal my sense of self-worth
I’m like a lost lion
I am akin to a majestic lion who has lost its way
Kung pow nigga I break necks
With my powerful presence, I disrupt and astonish others
Your slave ass still doing shows where they cake first
Despite your subservience, you continue to prioritize profit-driven performances
I tell them fuck you nigga
I boldly express my disdain towards them
Better break check
You should evaluate and reevaluate your actions
With you they’re covering the blow - rubber safe sex
In your case, they are concealing the consequences, engaging in cautious protection
Nobody knows we don’t sleep, we don’t beg neither
Nobody understands that we neither rest nor plead
That shit’s morphed now we’re the best reapers
That situation has transformed, and now we excel as harvesters of success
Undertakers nigga six deeper
We bury our competition, digging six feet deeper
Mean beat eater
We consume beats with ferocity
Even my girl say I’m a real keeper
Even my significant other acknowledges that I am a valuable partner
Nobody knows that I’m ruthless
Nobody comprehends the ruthlessness within me
They say I’m humble nigga truth is
They claim I am modest, but the truth is
I play the game with a pool stick
I participate in the game strategically, with skill
Whether I’m frustrated or not
Regardless of my emotional state
I put it in the music
I channel it into my music
Duct tape on the block - I’m living for the movement
I tightly secure my position in the neighborhood, dedicated to the cause
This shits God given
This talent is bestowed upon me by a divine force
You can’t snatch what this god put in
You cannot take away what this divine entity has instilled within me
I’m like a star when you chumps zoom in
I shine brilliantly when you fools scrutinize me closely
It’s real paradise
It is a true haven
They say it takes a couple light years for y'all to see that they’re hella bright
They claim that it will take an extensive amount of time for you to recognize their immense brilliance
Nobody knows
No one possesses this understanding
