NOBODY KNOWS Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Intro: Anthony Hamilton]
Mmm, uh
Yeah
[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
I be callin' out to God like, "I'm back again"
Then He told me tighten up, but I got sacked again
Nerve bad like I'm back to sellin' crack again
Fame and money brought some factors I didn't factor in
Happiness be happenin', but what happened when
Depression say, "I'm back again" and get to tappin' in?
Even then, came to win, ain't no tappin' out
I'm about all the things that I be rappin' 'bout
Bought a yacht, all the buildings I was trappin' out
Bankhead Seafood, me and T.I. got
Apartments in The Bluff, yeah, that's me I got
I think about when I was a youngin, I was rollin' rock
I sold a product that would share a name with soda pop
My baby mama tell me often, so I ain't forgot
From the home of Coca-Cola and player, I'm out
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Safe, keep watchin' me (Keep on, keep on watchin')
Nobody knows what trouble I know (Nobody know)
I been down, down before (I been down before)
I'm on the rise to take the throne
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
I don't be knowin' if I'm comin' or I'm goin'
I'm on a path and I don't know where I'm goin'
Talkin' to God, Mr. Mighty, all knowin'
I'ma say it even though I know you know it
I got some people that I probably should avoid
I did some things that keep me, um, paranoid
I'm goin' blank, I'm just tryna fill a void
My junkie auntie do the same with opioids
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Safe, keep watchin' me (Keep on, keep on)
Nobody knows what trouble I know (Nobody knows)
I been down, down before (I been down before)
I'm on the rise to take the throne (To take the throne)
[Verse 3: Killer Mike]
You got to rise up out of Hell to be heroic
Better be movin' with the wisdom of the stoics
My transformation undergoin' and it's showin'
Stayin' and goin', reapin', sowin', I ain't slowin'
I could write about that evil like I'm Donald Owens
Seen the trappin', seen the pimpin', seen the hoes is hoin'
I took depression from the pain and wrote the beautiful
Amen, thank the Lord of Glory, hallelujah too
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Safe, keep watchin' me (Nobody knows)
Nobody knows what trouble I know (The trouble I've seen)
I been down, down before (Yeah)
I'm on the rise to take the throne
