Tim Cheks - You Don't Know Who I Am

The things I think of, the shit is vital; it's survival
I need to break outta this vicious cycle
Peeps commit crimes; they claim it's in the Bible
I think they're full of shit when they perform a lifeless act
So I'm fightin' back, just writin' raps
I'm tryna spark flames like when ya strike a match
So here we go, I'ma beast mode this bitch
With my ego, usin' cheat codes and shit
At the casino, tryna reload the chips
Not a placebo, 'cos what he know's legit
I go hammer on the rap, to keep sales the same
Throw a spanner on the track, to derail the train
My grammar is intact, when I email the chain
I'm always sad inside; I'm tryna fight the demon
To say I can beat 'em? I might be dreaming
Gotta get ahead of the devil, there's no time for even

I knew it, I couldn't change the game
I blew it, and just remained the same
You know that, you don't know who I am
No blowback, so I'm goin' again
I knew it, I couldn't change the game
I blew it, and just remained the same
You know that, you don't know who I am
No blowback, so I'm goin' again

The real me's not timid, the real me's not shy
The real me's just hidden, deep down inside
The real me's forgivin', you'll see that with time
But if ya make me livid, get the fuck out my life
I made blunders, but now I see my mistakes
I find a happy place, then I rewind the tape
I do that shit, like three times a day
Find we're happier tomorrow, than we find today
Em said to outdo my best work a thousand times
But my bars go over heads, like powerlines
The real me? Not something I know how to find
Some people hate their past, but I'm proud of mine
If ya hate peeps like me, then you won't grow free
Got a dark and a light side, so two tones only
Avoid shit, like a scary movie you won't go see
I dropped this rap, to prove that, you don't know me

I knew it, I couldn't change the game
I blew it, and just remained the same
You know that, you don't know who I am
No blowback, so I'm goin' again
I knew it, I couldn't change the game
I blew it, and just remained the same
You know that, you don't know who I am
No blowback, so I'm goin' again

Don't meet me once, then claim you know this person
Stop tryna shut me out, like when ya close the curtains
Stop burnin' me, like 12 shots in a row of bourbon
To prove I'll make it in the rap game, I'm so determined
They say don't judge a book, just by its cover
Why y'all still together when ya don't like each other
You shouldn't be here; should've stayed inside the rubber
Peeps move on so quickly to go and find another
But me? I'm born alone and die alone
I feel lost, just like when ya can't find ya phone
I'm most comfortable when I'm stuck inside my home
I block out the world; it's just me and this microphone
I also like to go out, gotta have balance, legit
Make a fool of yourself and get embarrassed and shit
Let yourself flow free, like you're havin' a piss
And be reckless units just like Paris and Nic

I knew it, I couldn't change the game
I blew it, and just remained the same
You know that, you don't know who I am
No blowback, so I'm goin' again
I knew it, I couldn't change the game
I blew it, and just remained the same
You know that, you don't know who I am
No blowback, so I'm goin' again
