They Don't Know

(앨범: Southern Comfort - 2007)

I can't walk down the street 'cause people looking at me
Like I just robbed the neighborhood Circle K
Just minding my business, trying to make a living
Taking it day by day

Some of the things that I've seen, you just wouldn't believe
But I always hold my head up with dignity
Can't judge the book by the cover
'Cause they don't really even know me, don't know me

They don't know about the things I be going through
And they don't know about the pain I be feeling
They don't know about the struggles I be pulling through
And I won't let them get the best of me and my soul

Excuse me Lord for fussing
Things I do to keep from cussing
How so many people they bug me
Going around trying to judge me

Like, "Why is he wearing that dress?"
"Why is he talking that mess?"
"Why is he so into his Africanness?"
'Cause I don't wanna settle for less, I know I deserve the best

They don't know about the things I be going through
And they don't know about the pain I be feeling
They don't know about the struggles I be pulling through
And I won't let them get the best of me and my soul

Got a feeling
Said I'm giving
Everything that I've been meaning
Fixing me

Can I go now?
'Cause what I found
Is enough to keep me right
Fixing me

Good God, Almighty
(I can't walk down the street)
Good God, Almighty
(Everybody's looking at me)

Good God, Almighty
(Trying to steal my dignity, yeah)
Good God, Almighty
(They don't know what I seen)

Good God, Almighty
(Trying to make a livin')
Good God, Almighty
(Taking it day by day)

Good God, Almighty
(Trying to find my own way)
Good God, Almighty
(Trying to have a good time)

Good God, Almighty
(Trying to have a mighty, mighty, mighty good time, yeah, oh)
Good God, Almighty
(Take away my pain)

Good God Almighty
Good God, good God
Good God, good God
Good Lord, good Lord

Walk it off, walk it off now
Gotta walk it off, walk it off now
Walk it off, walk it off right now
Come on and go with me

We're gonna find a good time
Take the trouble and pain off our mind tonight
Lemme hear one time
Baby this is what I'm saying
