don't know me

you don't really know

me do

you think i'm just somebody

thirsty for another dollar just so you can say i owe it to you

they love you when you want

so as something going wrong

they be actin' like they never knew you

nah

you don't really know me

do you

i paid off half you niggas debts

yet i don't get my respect

i swear it's overdue

i promise i learned my lesson

this my story

i just hope you get the message

since i was younger

my hunger told me my future was destined

i treated people like college

didn't care if i got accepted

i had to pack up my luggage

budget was tight but i stretched it

you ever believed in something

even if you couldn't see it

they call it great

i call it faith

i knew with that i could be it

that's why i'm never afraid

that ain't how i was raised

even if you switch up on me

know that i'll never change

you don't really know

me do

you think i'm just somebody

thirsty for another dollar just so you can say i owe it to you

they love you when you want

so as something going wrong

they be actin' like they never knew you

nah

you don't really know me

do you

i paid off half you niggas debts

yet i don't get my respect

i swear it's overdue

i still ain't where i wanna be

they thinking i done made it

i showed 'em love

now niggas feeling like they obligated

i made a choice

if it's stressing me i won't tolerate it

got tired if waiting

i would think you get tired of hating

this is more than a million viewers

who think they love me but never met me

but more for those who could see me

and won't forget me

usually i'm alone

but at home i still got a family

just praying i win a grammy

don't care if you understand me

that could be a blessing and a curse

you think i sound like her

she know i did it first

don't tell me i'm too high

i'm charging what i'm worth

these niggas wanna eat

but they don't wanna work

i build this shit by myself

i don't need nobody help

most niggas just wanna kick it

i might just give 'em a belt

you can't take this shit

cause it's in me

who said i fell off

don't tempt me

it's fuck you if you ain't with me

can't break my heart

cause it's empty

you niggas thought you could get me

you don't really know

me do

you think i'm just somebody

thirsty for another dollar just so you can say i owe it to you

they love you when you want

so as something going wrong

they be actin' like they never knew you

nah

you don't really know me

do you

i paid off half you niggas debts

yet i don't get my respect

i swear it's overdue

you don't really know me

do you

you don't really know

me do

you think i'm just somebody

thirsty for another dollar just so you can say i owe it to you

they love you when you want

so as something going wrong they be actin' like they never knew you

nah

you don't really know me

do you

i paid off half you niggas debts

yet i don't get my respect

i swear it's overdue

you don't really know me

do you
