Lyrics

[00:02.22] Uhh, yeah
[00:04.56] Another one of those - this is for my nigga Q - down to earth joints
[00:07.86] Rest in peace baby, you're not for me dawg
[00:12.00]
[00:12.45] They don't knooow, who we beee
[00:17.74] They don't knooow, who we beee
[00:23.00]
[00:23.40] What they don't know is!
[00:24.07] The bullshit, the drama (uhh), the guns, the armour (what?)
[00:27.00] The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama (what?!)
[00:29.84] The projects, the drugs (uhh!), the children, the thugs(uhh!)
[00:32.70] The tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs (c'mon!)
[00:35.72] The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins (uhh!)
[00:38.45] The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often (why?!)
[00:41.46] The problems, the things, we use, to solve 'em (what?!)
[00:44.42] Yonkers, the Bronx (uhh!), Brooklyn, Harlem (c'mon!)
[00:47.42] The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain (uhh!)
[00:50.25] The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uhh!)
[00:53.14] The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes (what?!)
[00:56.03] The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes (c'mon!)
[00:58.99] The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly (uh-huh!)
[01:01.83] The one that gave 'em the slugs, the one that put 'em in me(whoo!)
[01:04.70] The snakes, the grass, too long, to see (uhh, uhh!)
[01:07.67] The lawnmower, sittin, right next, to the tree (c'mon!)
[01:10.00]
[01:10.34] They don't knooow, who we beee
[01:15.66] They don't knooow, who we beee
[01:21.56] They don't knooow, who we beee
[01:27.23] They don't knooow, who we beee
[01:33.00]
[01:33.09] What we seeing is!
[01:33.81] The streets, the cops, the system, harrassment (uh-huh)
[01:36.65] The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked (aight)
[01:39.59] The lawyers, the part, they are, of the puzzle (uh-huh)
[01:42.39] The release, the warning, "Try not, to get in trouble" (damn!)
[01:45.38] The snitches, the odds (uhh), probation, parole (what?!)
[01:48.29] The new charge, the bail, the warrant, the hole (damn!)
[01:51.17] The cell, the bus, the ride, up North (uh-huh)
[01:54.16] The greens, the boots, the yard, these hearts (uhh!)
[01:57.05] The fightin, the stabbin, the pullin, the grabbin (what?!)
[01:59.87] The riot squad with the captain, nobody knows what happened (what?!)
[02:02.80] The two years in a box, revenge, the plots (uhh!)
[02:05.65] The twenty-three hours that's locked, the one hour that's not (uhh!)
[02:08.58] The silence, the dark, the mind, so fragile (aight!)
[02:11.50] The wish, that the streets, would have took you, when they had you (damn)
[02:14.32] The days, the months, the years, dispair
[02:17.23] One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer
[02:20.00]
[02:20.10] They don't knooow, who we beee
[02:25.25] They don't knooow, who we beee
[02:31.09] They don't knooow, who we beee
[02:36.73] They don't knooow, who we beee
[02:42.00]
[02:42.45] This here is all about!
[02:43.35] My wife, my kids (uh-huh), the life that I live (uh-huh)
[02:46.24] Through the night, I was his (uh-huh), it was right, but I did (uh-huh)
[02:49.16] My ups, and downs (uhh), my slips, my falls (uhh)
[02:52.05] My trials and tribulations (uhh), my heart, my balls (uhh)
[02:54.93] My mother, my father, I love 'em, I hate 'em (uhh!)
[02:57.85] Wish God, I didn't have 'em, but I'm glad that he made 'em (uhh!)
[03:00.70] The roaches, the rats, the strays, the cats (what, what?!)
[03:03.62] The guns, knives and bats, everytime we scrap
[03:06.59] The hustlin, the dealin, the robbin, the stealin (uhh!)
[03:09.45] The shit, hit the ceilin, little boy, with no feelin's (damn)
[03:12.34] The frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage
[03:15.27] Got beatin's 'til the age, I carried a twelve gauge (aight!)
[03:18.17] Somebody stop me (please!), somebody come and get me (what?!)
[03:21.08] Little did I know, that the Lord was ridin with me
[03:23.94] The dark, the light (uhh), my heart (uhh), the fight (uhh)
[03:26.86] The wrong (uhh!), the right (uhh!), it's gone (uhh!), aight?
[03:29.00]
[03:29.47] They don't knooow, who we beee
[03:34.87] They don't knooow, who we beee (X4)
