They Ain't Know Lyrics By Lecrae
[Chorus]
Honorable
They ain't know, they ain't know (Honorable C.N.O.T.E.)
They ain't know, they ain't know
Yeah they try me, but they don't know I'm grinding (They ain't know)
If I'm shining then God must be behind it (They ain't know)
Yeah they hate me, but that no longer phase me (They ain't know)
If they doubt me, they don't know much about me (They ain't know)
It's too late, 'cause I done said what's on my mind (They ain't know)
They can't kill me, they just out here killing time (They ain't know)
Yeah they try me, but they don't know I'm grinding (They ain't know)
If I'm shining then God must be behind it (They ain't know)
[Verse 1]On the set, please don't disrespect
Please don't get me vexed
I've seen death, thought I could be next
Thank the Lord I'm blessed
Was a kid, grown man punching on me
Daddy never checked, felt neglect
Then I turned to Jesus, christians at my neck
What is you sayin'?
You never snuck into China, smuggling money and bibles
Duckin' and dodgin' police when they pull up behind you
Praying to God they don't find you
Please do not try me
If you ain't moved to the trap
.45 tucked in your lap
Teaching these kids how to go get their money from scratch
So they don't go to pick up the crack
Run it back
Let me speak up
If they hate me that's cool, tell 'em keep up
How you mad, but you still want a feature?
Kill me, I'm comin' back like it's Easter
By His stripes, I been healed like adidas
Serpent under His heal, kill a demon
I got God on my side like a heater
If you mad at me, run it by Jesus
[Chorus]
Man, hold on, hold on
You'll better run tell Jesus
I'm already in the trenches in this thing man
They ain't know
Yeah they try me, but they don't know I'm grinding (They ain't know)
If I'm shining then God must be behind it (They ain't know)
Yeah they hate me, but that no longer phase me (They ain't know)
If they doubt me, they don't know much about me (They ain't know)
[Verse 2]
I seen so much death, I just don't fear it
Some these folks out here so fake, I just can't get near 'em
Too much big talk all that cap and man I just can't hear 'em
Say they christian, but they dissing man I just don't feel 'em
Yeah, folks on my head like a head hunter
Yeah, I thought you said something
Ain't been to church in a minute
I watch it online, I'm just hoping they praying for me
Some of these people out preying on me
Yeah, look how they calling me fake
I taught their kids how to pray through a culture they hated
And now they gon' throw me away, huh
Why, what you gon' do to me?
Send me right back where I came from?
Say I'm not welcome, 'cause you got the say so
So they tellin' me that I can't come?
They ain't know
I'ma speak up
I speak to the streets like a preacher
Y'all sittin' at home with your feet up
If God reachin' down better reach up
[Chorus]
Yeah they try me, but they don't know I'm grinding (They ain't know)
If I'm shining then God must be behind it (They ain't know)
Yeah they hate me, but that no longer phase me (They ain't know)
If they doubt me, they don't know much about me (They ain't know)
It's too late, 'cause I done said what's on my mind (They ain't know)
They can't kill me, they just out here killing time (They ain't know)
Yeah they try me, but they don't know I'm grinding (They ain't know)
If I'm shining then God must be behind it (They ain't know)
You like the lies and the gossip?
Now you've got nothing to say?
You like the lies and the gossip?
Now you've got nothing to say?
