They Don't Know Me

I'm from a city full of entertainers
They silly, 'bout ninety percent of them just imitate us
Straight trippin' balls with they visions tainted
I'll Trump 'em all regardless of local media feeding 'em fake shit
That's word to Tif, and the fairy-tellers making up shit to break us
Dog, let me sum it up, the camera ain't what makes none of you motherfuckers creative
Line these whack photographers in a row so I can take shots if visions lay sick
It's like, everywhere that I go now, places rigged with nothing but fake love
And ain't nobody wanna admit it, in fear of exposing they basic
I'm laying the foundation myself like bitches with make up
If you wanna put me in my place then center stage is what I'm finna take up
Lights low, with the base clutch
People talking to me knowing that greatness is what they in the face of
And all I ask is that you quit comparing me to a bunch of artists in they middle ages
Everyday just, like the one before. Shit's the same again
I carry shit from my past for which I'm tryna make amends
The value your words hold are what make a man
You're the quickest to dodge challengers, that's why you ain't in my 'cedes Benz
Bet your ass ain't think twice about asking girl's to a Sadie's dance
And in they defense, they don't know about the struggles out here we share on the west side
Classmates flunking out at best but successfully making headlines
But now even vegan women want a steak in this, pouring me a glass a red wine
Fuck anybody sleeping on my city like 9pm is their bed time
I'm a put the locals doing they thing on even if the love shown ain't mutual
'Cause shit been dormant out here where I'm from but our come up remains indisputable
Yes, we the same. Only difference is I can do this all with my eyes closed
Artist's saying we should link up now but I'm not sold

I said, nah. They don't know me. They don't know me, at all
I said, nah. They don't know me. They don't know me, at all
I said, nah. They don't know me. They don't know me, at all
I said, nah. They don't know me. They don't know me, at all

I'm finna win a Grammy, better run and tell the academy awards
Academy awards
That's some shit I put on everything like it some Tapatillo, hoe
Tapatillo, hoe
All the women I've met so far problems, think I rather die alone
Rather die alone
I've got random numbers hitting my line asking if it's really me on the phone
Brrr! Brrr
Had the same digits since I was 10 and that will never change
If some day I decide to switch up just know that I've moved onto better things.
I got exes on exes on exes linking up. Hell yeah, I'm entertained.
Must be something iffy in the water out here cause they salty as the lake
I'm here right now. Why don't you say it to my face
I'll Lyft my team until the day I get thrown in prison for evading taxis
Would have sworn that she was single screaming my name laying face down in the backseat
I been focused on the mission. Never tired like Michelin, thanks to my prescription for the Addy
And now women I ain't talked to in ages trynna slide thru hitting me up for the addy
Haters in my business but I don't show interest, cause I'm always focused on my principles
Growing as a kid I always had the hardest time not shouting at all my principals
For always trynna crack me under pressure cause I liked to heckle in their office
Now I'm put together like a staple when I'm at the table with these labels making offers
Denim's what these ladies taking off us
Laying pipe down got me so exhausted
Fear's that the last thing that I'm living in, but when it's comes to women, man, I'm always cautious
'Cause some will leak you without hesitation like a broken faucet
Let that sink in
Along with the fact we ain't ever met once but you know who I is

But nah, they don't know me. They don't know me, at all
I said, nah, they don't know me. They don't know me, at all
I said, nah, they don't know me. They don't know me, at all
I said, nah, they don't know me. They don't know me, at all
