They don't know me, they don't know me
I ain't a single hit on the radio, they don't know me
I'm a whole world, don't let them define me
They don't know me
Don't let them exclude me, nor glorify me
They don't know me,
I won't bear the mark of shame, nor the mark of Cain
On the prime time, in a deafening, heartbreaking news report
No long line of girls, they don't jump at me
For some reason, all the crazy ones are all over me
They don't know me,
'Cause I don't appear on every screen
The spotlight doesn't compensate for what you lack
They don't know me,
I know exactly who I am inside
My strength is in my core, I don't listen to no experts
I'm a kid whose sole purpose was to be a sick rapper
I ain't a passing trend, not one to come and go
I'm not a "maybe", or an "although", or a "like", or an "instead"
I'm a whole world, the Lord's creation, made in His image
I'm a storm, I'm a strand of hair,
A river of lava, a living flame, the good by the bad
I found my comfort, let go of vengeance
So I'm water, wind, fire and earth, body and soul
In a sea of gazes, eyes are looking at you
And whatever you do, time will slip between your fingers
They don't know me,
I wanted to be the boss, to be up in the clouds
And it feels very lonely being center stage
Friends from America called me on Skype
I told them, "Don't believe all the hype."
They can Hide it, they can Like it
I'll still be sitting at home with socks and flip flops on
They don't know me,
Bound to the ground like an olive tree
Won't back down without a fight, no
They say publicity can drive you mad
'Cause an artist feeds on breakdowns, he's restless
So what happens when songs become paycheck
If this is the price of fame
Then fuck fame and screw success
Say, is it true, Ravid...
Say, who wrote the chorus, Ravid...
Talk to me, who composed the national anthem, Ravid...
Say, who cracked the atoms, Ravid...
And in this ridiculous chase for greatness
I've hurt the people I care the most about
And neglected my friends, turned out unrestrained
Trying to be a good person,
But my intentions keep falling through
For years, I haven't given my dad a hard time
I'm a gown up kid, still living between one-night stands
Mature enough for a relationship, in this reality
Which is something between an insane fantasy and half a nightmare
They don't know me,
I'm marching toward the path, beyond the sound
My heart's frequency will lead me, making me achieve the extraordinary
They don't know me,
Now I realize that's natural
'Cause at the end of the day, the world doesn't revolve around me
They don't know me,
Honestly, sometimes I don't even know myself
I love these cigarettes,
More than I love myself
Wanting everyone to love you
Is like drinking something that's making you thirsty
Or succeeding while being self-destructive
I'm writing through the sword of my soul, free inside
So I'm actually writing myself
Said I'm writing through the sword of my soul, free inside
So I'm actually writing myself
And they don't know me
In a sea of gazes, eyes are looking at you
And whatever you do, time will slip between your fingers
She doesn't know me,
I became a wary man who shows no emotions
Just a liar, a heartbreaker
Nothing heroic about toying with girls' feelings
Long as the guys say you fuck a lot, huh?
She doesn't know me,
Says my genre doesn't really catch on, 'cause
People here don't get it, but they do abroad, hell yeah they do abroad
And she used to dance Salsa and some Breakbeat
And she and her bestie shared a lesbian experience
She doesn't know me,
Or had a ménage à trois, with a famous celeb
But only when he was in his prime,
'Cause now he's such a "has been"
She texted me, "Your song made my heart melt."
And she came to my show to do me
I hinted that her sarcasm doesn't work on me
She replied, "Your modesty is condescending,
Your hypocrisy ain't passing over me,
'Cause all men are horny, and so are you."
Honestly, true
You don't know me,
I'm looking for my missing parts
I miss the days when we were friends
You don't know me, I'd donate my body parts for you
Now we're just acquaintances
When boredom strikes, I don't give a fuck today
Drank four coffee mugs, and my eye twitches today
Didn't want to wait up for her
She can come by tomorrow, it's late anyway
So I jerked off twice today
They don't know me,
Got what I deserve after so many years
Surrounded by drug-loving stoner friends
And maybe, but just maybe
I'm too nerdy to be comfortable with this success
To be flashy and loud
They don't know me,
I've been blessed to make a living off the thing that I love most
Real talk, fuck the world
From birth, up until this point
Everything just got clearer and brighter, and I'm grateful
For the Creator, for you, and for the importance of this journey
For the Creator, for you, and for the importance of this journey
For the Creator, for you, and for the importance of this journey
They don't know me
In a sea of gazes, eyes are looking at you
And whatever you do, time will slip between your fingers
You tried to soar, to open Heaven's Gates
Heaven's Gates
Heaven's Gates
