You Don't Know
Tayla Parx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you know about a lil' shawty from the South?
What you know about some muhfuckin' word of mouth?
That's a lot of work for someone who don't leave the house
So what do you know? What do you know?
What you know about another 30 Under 30?
Know I did it quick, I wasn't even in a hurry
This is for you dusty niggas tryna do me dirty
What do you know? What do you know?

I cannot lie, got me out of control (I can't lie)
I cannot lie, I'm irresponsible (I can't lie)
I cannot lie, I still body these flows (I can't lie)
Oh, what do you know? What do you know? (Lie)
I cannot lie, this to give and to get (I can't lie)
I cannot lie, ain't no love in this shit (I can't lie)
I cannot lie if you ain't been through this (I can't lie)
So what do you know? What do you know?

Tell me, what you know about jacuzzis in the snow?
What do you know 'bout makin' history that ain't your own?
You gotta cut it in that check, though
So what do you know? What do you know?
Oh, me and my homies, we be Pinky and the Brain-ing
Oh, me and my homies, we be goin' Super Saiyan
Know it's tailor-made if you heard Tayla made it
What do you know? What do you know?

I cannot lie, got me out of control (I can't lie)
I cannot lie, I'm irresponsible (I can't lie)
I cannot lie, I still body these flows (I can't lie)
Oh, what do you know? What do you know? (Lie)
I cannot lie, this to give and to get (I can't lie)
I cannot lie, ain't no love in this shit (I can't lie)




I cannot lie if you ain't been through this (I can't lie)
So what do you know? What do you know?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tayla Parx's "You Don't Know" are about her questioning what others truly know about her and her experiences. The opening lines ask what people know about a "lil' shawty" (a young woman) from the South, likely referencing her background and upbringing. She then asks what people know about "word of mouth," alluding to the rumors and gossip that can circulate without people knowing the full truth. Parx challenges those who criticize or doubt her success, mentioning her inclusion on the "30 Under 30" list and accusing any detractors of attempting to belittle her achievements.


The chorus speaks to Parx's confidence in herself and her talents, acknowledging that she may have flaws and make mistakes (claiming to be "irresponsible"), but that she still excels in her art (bodying these flows). She questions whether others can truly understand the challenges she faces in the music industry, such as "makin' history that ain't your own" and having to fight for fair compensation. The lyrics as a whole capture Parx's determination to succeed despite the obstacles she faces, and her unwillingness to let others' opinions hold her back.
