Hindsight (intro) Lyrics

Hey Jave...

Look

Was sitting on the sofa

Just thinking I needed closure

So I pour me up some Henny until the feelings grow colder

My cup runneth over yet still I keep my composure

Cause they chose to dip at the time I needed a shoulder

But I was never mad; just really wanna know why

You would feed me lies while looking into my eyes

Saw Janel the other day downtown while riding by

Wasn't trinna say "Hi"

But its good to know you alive

And the shit with Aaliyah?

I couldn't really believe her

If a nigga got her heated then he was catching a fever

True Shit

All I get is blue ticks when trinna reach her

If ine catch her slipping I probably'd of never seen her

Shit is crazy cause these people i'd ride for

I look around and see that they ain't gat the time for

Since Dad died and Mom sick I gatta grind for her

But the pressure just keep getting to my mind dawg

Swear I too young for all this shit up on my plate

But that don't negate the fact I want my Momma eating steak, behind a gate,

On them hills while overlooking the lakes

Not worried bout a bill; She know that I gat it paid

Heard Twin say "I cant wait to tell my Momma she straight"

Bro I shed a tear then put that shit on replay

If I told you the whole story you wouldn't know what to say

But they couldn't tell from looking me in my face

they don't know dawg

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

The don't know (Nah nah)

Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)

They don't know what they don't (Nah nah)

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

They don't know what they don't know (Nah nah)

Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

Swear it feel like most my life dawg I been going through it

Way less fortunate than niggas that I went to school with

And its not cause what mummy had at the time

Cause daddy died which provided an avenue for a nigga to get private schooling

What I doing chilling with the privileged?

Dawg I wasn't getting it

Could camouflage well but never really fit into it

Cause no one could relate to what that life feel like

Or hunger pains late at night feel like

You know what that might feel like?

Thats when I learned what how to write feel like

The dream in mind was studio time

"What that mic feel like"

Blessed tranquillity

If I hit the booth people was feeling me

Finally somewhere that I told the truth people was hearing me

And shit that really how I fell in love with my essence

Started working on the craft facilitating progression

Was always told that there was maturity in my presence

Guess that happens when you get lessons added to adolescence

But...

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

The don't know (Nah nah)

Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)

They don't know what they don't (Nah nah)

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

They don't know what they don't know (Nah nah)

Swear they don't know what they don't (Nah nah)

They don't know what they don't know (Yea)

Aye

A firm believer that life as hard as you make it

Warring with yourself and you think you sparring with Satan

But dawg just be patient

But consistent

Nigga know the difference

Keep working a goal is a mission

Cause everybody gat them struggles through they life, but when I think though...

Done came a long way from riding bikes in Flamingo

To Pastel mobbing with CJ Tio or Ringo

The music gat me distant but you know how da ting go

When you working for perfection and know you ain't perfect

So you just working for progression

And hoping its worth it

Rose with a purpose like Jesus on the third day...

(Yea)

Or Derek when he's okay

Whatever woks

Well I working on myself bey dawg

Don't compare me to no one else bey dawg

Thankful for my health bey dawg

While I focus on the wealth bey dawg

And thats real

They don't know

They don' t know what they don't know
