Nobody Knows (feat. Smoothe)
Switched on my dogs
Never switched on my bros
And I always put the money before the hoes
But there's things I've done that ain't nobody knows
I been down from the start
I do everything with heart
And I can put that on my soul
But there's things I've done that ain't nobody knows
Knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
But there things I've done that nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Try to run and then
Nobody knows
Oooooohhhhhh
When life paints a picture but does it without an easel
Thin line between good and evil and I threaded the fuckin needle
Everyone thinks they know you but really they don't know shit
They don't know how many times I tried to end it all
How many times I picked up the phone not havin anyone to call
But through it all I never stopped never quit
Manned up and handled my shit
Dealt wit pain and heartache on a daily
Knowin ppl were there but no one was gonna save me
My pops juss up and left me straight out the blue
Left me cold and alone without a fuckin clue
What do I do
Found out I was gonna be a father shortly after that
Ain't gon lie I was so fucked up ain't want no part of that
When my babygirl who's middle name is Raine
Instantly stopped all my pain and made life worth living again
Hope y'all can feel what the fuck I'm sayin
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
But there things I've done that nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Try to run and then
Nobody knows
Oooooohhhhhh
Nobody knows about the cold lonely nights
When all the pressure of life hit me all at once
Almost out pressure and pulled it to end it all at once
Expectations that weren't met gambled all my money juss to lose the fuckin bet
Nobody knows the life that I lead
The smile I put on for the world to see
But deep down I'm a cold hearted monsters holdin on by a fuckin thread
Battle everyday to drown out the voices in my own head
Mama you raised a really great kid
The world juss fucked me up and now I'm a cold hearted piece of shit
Now my mind is a weapon that's ever so lethal
The thoughts that I've kept in most would consider fuckin evil
So many times I screamed out dad I need you!
Things I've been through feel like they're pulled out of a fuckin book
Auntie suckin some nigga off to pay a debt
That's juss the start and na I ain't done yet
Remembered the nights I sat up cryin
Askin God why I needed to keep tryin
All he kept sayin was you're here for a reason
Couldn't believe em because I didn't see one
Standin on the edge ready to jump thinkin I really need one
My babies got me off the edge so many times
So push through everyday and continue the climb
Ain't stoppin for nobody and never askin why
To my babies your the reason that I'm even still alive
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
But there things I've done that nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Try to run and then
Nobody knows
Oooooohhhhhh
See I been hurtin all my life
But nobody see my pain
I smile through the struggle because all I know is pain
I'm a black young nigga in this fuckin world of vain
You either die by them bullets or get locked up by them chains
I grind all my life tryna make it out the struggle
I'm so dedicated you can call me Nipsey Hustle
I be gettin to the paper never worried bout a hater
Count my commas up
I'm just tryna make my life greater
See I bet you never thought I was real down down bad
Suicidal thoughts put the pen to pad
Wanna take my life
Yea I know the shit is sad
But I bet if I was gone
Everybody would be glad
This shit puts my life in so much fuckin vain
These fuckin thoughts put the burner to my brain
I'm just tryna make it out with every chance I get
If I let the demons win
Man I swear that would be it
But you know that I'm strong
I can't let the demons hold on
They workin in a place where they know they don't belong
I bout to block 'em out and knock 'em down all day long
I gotta stay strong for my momma
(I do)
Tryna push through all the fuckin trauma
All the fuckin trauma
Brings so much drama
I'm bout to lose it all
Or Ima end up a goner
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
But there things I've done that nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Try to run and then
Nobody knows
Oooooohhhhhh
