Don’t Nobody Know
Tray B, are you down? (I'm down, girl)
Steph B, are you down? (I'm down, girl)
De-Lo, are you down? (I'm down, girl)
Reecie, are you down? (You know I'm down, boo!)
It's Ramiyah (Kiki)
PAJAM (KCS)
PDA (Laced it!)
Moss ([?] it!)
Stone ([?], DCC, ho!)
[Verse 1:]
Tell me were you there
When they crucified my name for pleasure?
(Naw, I don't think so, C'mon)
Was anyone around
When every check that I had written bounced?
(Naw, I don't hear you know)
And there was no one to pull me back to my feet
Then I heard a voice that I made the choice to follow
Even though I'm not where I want to be, I thank you for saving me
[Chorus:]
Don't nobody know, don't nobody know
Don't nobody know what I've been through
There was nobody there, ain't body share
Ain't nobody care what I been through
Don't nobody know, how long I had to pray
When things weren't going my way
So if you see me jump, scream or shout
It's because of all I've been through!
[Verse 2:]
Tell me were you there
When the rain turned into hail and my storm?
"Am I running out of time?"
Was the thought that came to mind
(Was anyone around?)
Was anyone around
When I was on the streets trying to keep warm?
(Nowhere to go)
And man wasn't enough to lean on, ooooohhhhh
Then I heard a voice that I made the choice to follow
Even though I'm not where I ought to be
I thank you for saving me!
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I know the Battle's not over
And my test does not expire
My father's given me strength to stand the fire
Although this war may not be won
But my trials will transpire
And though my sorrows may be here in the morning
[Chorus]
[Ad-Libs: Dorinda Clark Cole]
Nobody really knows
Oh, the ups and downs
Oh, my turn arounds
Nobody really, nobody really, nobody realy
Nobody really knew!
Oh nobody really knows
What I have to go through, no no no
Oh, nobody, oh, nobody
Don't nobody know (they just don't know)
Don't nobody know (they just don't know)
Oh I been talked about!
Don't nobody really know
Anybody really know?
[Ad-Libs: Karen Clark Sheard]
Oh naw, naw, naw
Y'all cain't have my daughter on here and my sister too
And I cain't get none?
(What's up with that? Come on!)
(Don't nobody know)
Don't nobody know, yeah
When the doctors gave me 2% chance
Oh God gave me, gave me 2nd chance, 2nd chance
