They Don't Know

(Reggae Vibes Music)
Journey rough
Still me never give up
Who feels it, knows it
(Charlie Clips)
Who feels it, knows it (tough)
(Delus) Still me never give up
And when the journey get rough
Still me never give up
Me never give up or die, nah (Brooklyn)
Tough, (Harlem) me never give up or die

Uh, yes
I know you probably think I had it easy
'Cause I'm always on TV
But it's hard, believe me
Fried chicken, same oil, every night was greasy (word)
Momma workin' hard in the kitchen, tryna please me
She took me from the pain, struggle, all this drama (all this drama)
From the rain, all this suffering, I love my momma
That's why I'm workin' hard so she can have every dollar, every comma
Fly her to Jamaica or to Bahamas
Church, they say we don't know how to act, people (that's what they say)
And everytime somethin' was wrong they blamin' black people (they always)
Well, every black man on the corners is not a hustler (nah)
And every black man that's losin' weight is not a customer (word)
Gotta stop hustling (yes)
We gotta put them grams up (got to)
Gotta take care of our children, it's time to man up (it's time)
If you feel how I'm feelin' then go and stand up
But don't just do that, I need you to put ya' hands up

And I know (they don't know)
When me live on the streets
And I pray to the lord for protection
And I know (they don't know)
The struggles that we face
Because the tone of me complexion (they don't know)
And I know
Them, they could just come save me with a few little dollars
And I don't think they, (they don't know) they don't know
(They don't know) they don't know, no
Yet

Nothin' good, them chop me
When ya' have some time then call me
Still me no matter with them sick
A judge has said it for me
A leap of energy I must have, they my youth
Just keep driving, push it out
'Cause when you move far from poverty you're closer to jealousy
Part my envy, smile with hypocrisy
Oh, when I put you to feed them, still about to see
Full up on vigor, want take your energy

And I know (they don't know)
When me live on the streets
And I pray to the lord for protection
And I know (they don't know)
The struggles that we face
Because the tone of me complexion (they don't know)
And I know
Them, they could just come save me with a few little dollars
And I don't think they, (they don't know) they don't know
(They don't know) they don't know, no

Uh, yes
I was born and raised all in Harlem (Harlem)
It was shootouts every night so I know the problems
Your man could wear his chain and kids would try to rob him (true story)
So I gotta school the youth, somebody gotta solve 'em
Momma told me there'll be days like this, she say it hard (yes)
And when God deal your hand you gotta play your cards (yes)
I pray these won't to do a bid or have to play that yard (we pray)
When things get rough or things get tough
I just pray to God
Church (amen)
Believe me y'all, he got our backs
So you ain't gotta hit the block or try to move that pack (no)
The Feds knock that door down and when they find that crack (word)
Kick you out your crib
Now you homeless looking for a stack
Damn
And sometimes I know you fed up
I know it's kinda hard and you tryna get your bread up (I know)
But there's other ways to get it so
Please don't let up (let up)
Like your nose bleedin', you just gotta keep your head up

And I know (for real) (they don't know)
When me live on the streets
And I pray to the lord for protection
And I know (they don't know)
The struggles that we face
Because the tone of me complexion (they don't know)
And I know
Them, they could just come save me with a few little dollars
And I don't think they, (they don't know) they don't know
(They don't know) they don't know, no
