Nobody Knows

"So when you think you know the whole You don't even know the half" --] Guru, _Mostly Tha Voice_ Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru (repeat 2X) [Shara Nelson] (Guru) Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all What I'm goin through Nobody knows what's behind the scenes Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow What I feel inside Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams.. [Guru] I'm catchin a flashback of the days when My pockets were dry, I only had a few friends Those same brothers now my family We've been through it all, in this industry Mad frustrated, ready to flip Because the company was playin me like some dumb kid Video out and I'm still ridin the train Workin and hustlin, no pain no gain Now here comes the spotlight, still somethin's not right I gotta pay my rent by five o'clock tonight Livin on fifty cent noodles But I'm playin the game, that the brothers know I'm true to Can't let up, although the journey is rough Focus on the goal like it's the Stanley Cup I gotta play this thing for keeps My only stress relief is the hip-hop beats Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru [Shara Nelson] (Guru) Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all When I close the door Nobody knows what's behind the scenes Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow They try to kill my dreams Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams.. [Guru] Skippin the turnstyles, everyday lifestyle Lookin at this world with mad anger cause it's wild People thinkin that I'm blowin up But they don't understand, the young man is growin up Now who you think I should trust? Better rely on self, no time for missin the bus Fake people, phony characters They begin to swarm, so I built up barriers To block em out, but they still dwellin Makes me wanna just start yellin But I play it cool though, cause I'm no fool yo See chumps'll always try to break down your flow Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru [Shara Nelson] (Guru) Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all What I'm goin through Nobody knows what's behind the scenes Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow What I feel inside Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams.. [Guru] No time for misery, no time for empty wishin 'fridgerator's bare, killin roaches in the kitchen Just spent my last on a 40 To sip away my troubles, now it's worse, cause I'm hungry I check my man for advice He lent me 20 dollars and we lounged and got nice I told him nobody knows about the wack side I feel like a slave gettin whipped on my backside Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru (repeat 2X) [Shara Nelson] (Guru) Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all When I close the door Nobody knows what's behind the scenes Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow They try to kill my dreams Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams.. Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru (repeat 2X) [Shara Nelson] (Guru) Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all What I'm goin through Nobody knows what's behind the scenes Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow What I feel inside Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams..
