Hindsight (intro)

Hey Jave...
Look
Was sitting on the sofa
Just thinking I needed closure
So I pour me up some Henny until the feelings grow colder
My cup runneth over yet still I keep my composure
Cause they chose to dip at the time I needed a shoulder
But I was never mad; just really wanna know why
You would feed me lies while looking into my eyes
Saw Janel the other day downtown while riding by
Wasn't trinna say "Hi"
But its good to know you alive
And the shit with Aaliyah?
I couldn't really believe her
If a nigga got her heated then he was catching a fever
True Shit
All I get is blue ticks when trinna reach her
If ine catch her slipping I probably'd of never seen her
Shit is crazy cause these people i'd ride for
I look around and see that they ain't gat the time for
Since Dad died and Mom sick I gatta grind for her
But the pressure just keep getting to my mind dawg
Swear I too young for all this shit up on my plate
But that don't negate the fact I want my Momma eating steak, behind a gate,
On them hills while overlooking the lakes
Not worried bout a bill; She know that I gat it paid
Heard Twin say "I cant wait to tell my Momma she straight"
Bro I shed a tear then put that shit on replay
If I told you the whole story you wouldn't know what to say
But they couldn't tell from looking me in my face
they don't know dawg

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)
The don't know (Nah nah)
Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)
They don't know what they don't (Nah nah)
They don't know what they don't know (Yea)
They don't know what they don't know (Nah nah)
Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)
They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

Swear it feel like most my life dawg I been going through it
Way less fortunate than niggas that I went to school with
And its not cause what mummy had at the time
Cause daddy died which provided an avenue for a nigga to get private schooling
What I doing chilling with the privileged?
Dawg I wasn't getting it
Could camouflage well but never really fit into it
Cause no one could relate to what that life feel like
Or hunger pains late at night feel like
You know what that might feel like?
Thats when I learned what how to write feel like
The dream in mind was studio time
"What that mic feel like"
Blessed tranquillity
If I hit the booth people was feeling me
Finally somewhere that I told the truth people was hearing me
And shit that really how I fell in love with my essence
Started working on the craft facilitating progression
Was always told that there was maturity in my presence
Guess that happens when you get lessons added to adolescence
But...

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)
The don't know (Nah nah)
Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)
They don't know what they don't (Nah nah)
They don't know what they don't know (Yea)
They don't know what they don't know (Nah nah)
Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)
They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

Aye
A firm believer that life as hard as you make it
Warring with yourself and you think you sparring with Satan
But dawg just be patient
But consistent
Nigga know the difference
Keep working a goal is a mission
Cause everybody gat them struggles through they life, but when I think though...
Done came a long way from riding bikes in Flamingo
To Pastel mobbing with CJ Tio or Ringo
The music gat me distant but you know how da ting go
When you working for perfection and know you ain't perfect
So you just working for progression
And hoping its worth it
Rose with a purpose like Jesus on the third day...
(Yea)
Or Derek when he's okay
Whatever woks
Well I working on myself bey dawg
Don't compare me to no one else bey dawg
Thankful for my health bey dawg
While I focus on the wealth bey dawg
And thats real

They don't know
They don' t know what they don't know
