What they don't know
Man, listen
They gonna find out
These cats must be off their mind, baby
What they don't know
Thinking a dog don't got it
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
But you're about to find out
They gonna find out real soon
Come on
They call me go against the grain, the swagger's reckless
Since 12 smack a, grab his necklace and gon' respect this
Dog come through like Debo
Ain't gotta touch this life but get paid off Cee-lo
That's your man?
He know
Go hard and get down
Whenever dog hit town, I shut down 'cause I want it now
If I see it, I'ma take it and you better hope I
Don't want it all 'cause I'll leave you naked
I ain't never had to fake it
Dog come through with no gun
I show son, I'm scared of no one and I don't run
I tell X is back and it ain't where I'm at, it's when I'm giving
X is back, come on
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know

What they don't know
They gonna find out real soon
Yeah, that peaked up whispering walk soft dog
Of course I recognize the
And I ain't speak 'cause I was acting funny
Nah, it's not what I'm about
You just look mad different without a in your mouth
Soon as I seen't you, I knew you were
See-through 'cause I seen through
I ain't mean to
He made me hit him
That's what the thing do
If we were big as our hearts, you'd be half my size
I only with the real Scarface and Nas
Love to think the worst but put what you
Think in this hand and pop in the other
Which one will get filled up first?
I stay reminding what the gun do
Wherever I'm at, don't come through
If they do, they run through
Come on
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out real soon
That on the mic y'all suck
When shots go off y'all duck
Real running circles around you
Did the dirt but now the dirt found you
On the mic y'all suck
When shots go off y'all duck
Real running circles around you
Did the dirt but now the dirt found you
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out
What they don't know
They gonna find out real soon, baby
Looking without seeing
Walking without being
Living without breathing
Come on
Now, son

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
