They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
These days my mind's on a vacation
I'd rather smoke than entertain the
Naysayers and their allegations, cuz-
(They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!)
Ain't keen on petty conversation
Passive aggressiveness is dangerous
Lemme sit back and roll my jay up, cuz
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am! Baby
(They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!)
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
They don't know what I've seen!
What I did, how I live
Y'all ain't known nuthin', well
(Oooh, oooh, ooh)
Well miss me with the he said she said
Gossip, back and forth, shit
Some niggas claim they love me
But ain't never shared a portion
How can ya claim we homies,
You ain't learned me as a person?
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
Yeah, yeah yeahhhh
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am! Ooh, woah
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
(I no longer)
I no longer, chase or even beg
For someone else's lovin'!
(Else's lovin')
I'm no longer second guessing
What is for me!
(What is for me)
So best to come correct
Or get to stepping from me
(Or get to stepping from me)
You can't be stepping to me!
(You can't be stepping to me!)
(I just wonder)
I just wonder, did any of em
Hear me when I said that I'm stuck?
And sick and tired of being tired
I want it to stop!
(I want it to stop)
I get it bruh, I got the strength
But can I be soft?
(Can I be soft)
Well miss me with the he said she said
Gossip, back and forth, shit
Some niggas claim they love me
But ain't never shared a portion
How can ya claim we homies, when we wasn't? Wasn't, ohh?
Oh no
They don't know nuthin' bout me!
They don't know who I am!
Don't know who I am!
