I've been on the couch, even slept on the floor
But you don't know
Ate off the dollar menu, when I was broke
But you don't know
Ran through Miami all on my own
But you don't know
If it wasn't for the music man
I don't know

Cos I kept grindin', hustlin'
Tryin' to make my way
Not knowing if I'd ever, make it
Make it to this day
But I told myself
Nothing happens over night
Now you see the diamonds and the bright lights
But you don't know who I am inside

You don't know me
You don't know this pain
You don't know me
Or how I got this way
Until you've been where I've been
Or seen what I've seen
You'll never, never, never know
You will never know me

Uh, you will never
Uh, you will never know me
Uh, never, never, never know
Uh, Cos you will never know me

Lost a lot of homies tryin' to get this far
But you don't know
So you ain't gotta ask why I go so hard
But you don't know
See all these tattoos cover all my scars
But you don't know
You don't know my end, you don't know my start

You don't know me
You don't know this pain
You don't know me
Or how I got this way
Until you've been where I've been
Or seen what I've seen
You'll never, never, never know
You will never know me

Uh, you will never
Uh, you will never know me
Uh, never, never, never know
Uh, you will never know me

Cos I kept grindin', hustlin'
Tryin' to make my way
Not knowing if I'd ever, make it
Make it to this day
But I told myself
Nothing happens over night
Now you see the diamonds and the bright lights
But you don't know who I am inside

You don't know me
You don't know this pain
You don't know me
Or how I got this way
Until you've been where I've been
Or seen what I've seen
You'll never, never, never know
You will never know me

Uh, you will never
Uh, you will never know me
Until you've been where I've been
Or seen what I've seen
You'll never, never, never know
You will never know me
