Don't Know Me Letra

Soon 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
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 on
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
I got tired of waiting
I would think that you'd 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 built 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
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 on
Soon 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
