They Don't Know

They tryna paint me what I’m not

Tried to keep my cool for every time that it gets hot

But when you grow up with violence sometimes it's gonna play the part

And I been working to hard to let somebody take my spot

And that's the truth, tell me what you gon' do?

When you brought up with DV and drugs when you a youth

And you ain't had no dollars so you tryna get it too

Now they tryna bring you down and you got everything to lose

They don't even know what you been through

All the struggles that you face man they ain't got no clue

People hating on my name gotta put em in the queue

No we are not the same

Different kind, different view

They don't even know

I gotta say it so they know

Quick to judge but they don't even know

All the bad days hard times we came from

Why they think I'm tryna fit in? Boy, I'm tryna make it out

Pain in my Mumma's eyes man I gotta make her proud

RIP to my lil brother imma say it out loud

I'll forever hold your name and carry what you about, yeah

Man I'm speaking from the heart

I ain't just rapping, I was in the dark trapped in

I can't believe how it happened

But I know the main goal

Ain't tryna get caught in the fashion

I'm doing it for my family, my people, that's my passion

Yea-yeah, that's my passion

Put some people in line cause they was acting

Told 'em I would be somebody and they started laughing

If I didn't find music I don't know what would happen yeah yeah

They tryna paint me what I'm not

Tried to keep my cool for every time that it gets hot

But when you grow up with violence sometimes it's gonna play the part

And I been working too hard to let somebody take my spot

They don't even know

I gotta say it so they know

Quick to judge but they don't even know

All the bads days hard times we came from
