Lyrics Burna Boy – Dem No Know
Text:
And they say I’m bad, me have no friend
Just ’cause I’m real I can’t pretend
Holding back no evidence
One day I’ll be your president
Acting like I don’t know you no more
No be now but when I blow up
Dem no fit talk say dem no know before
See I’ve been feeling like I’m stuck in a pipeline
And I’ve been feeling like this all my lifetime, ohhh
Patiently wait for the right time
Then I’ll come out and tell you what’s on my mind, ohhh
A couple niggas that had it too bad
They wishin they could run away and never go back
Never seen a perfect picture like a Kodak
And that’s a known fact
Wishin I could have my way
But everything has been going sideways
Everyone’s picking a reason to fight me
Nobody likes me, but I count my blessings
And I tell you like this
They say I’m bad, me have no friend
Just ’cause I’m real I can’t pretend
Holding back no evidence
One day I’ll be your president
Don’t be surprised when you see me on tour
Acting like I don’t know you no more
No be now but when I blow up
Dem no fit talk say dem no know before
They hope to God me wanna sleep ’cause they wishin I don’t wake up
Some boy think they smarter than Jacob
Said if I sell my birthright, I’ll get famous
You can’t take man fi Esau
What you’re looking at is a very smart nigga
Don’t feel the consciousness that I deliver
I know a couple man that’ll cut out your liver
Mmm, you people get me so confused
That’s why around me only a chosen few are welcome
So when I tell them ‘thank you’ I know I’m welcome
They don’t know so I tell them
They say I’m bad, me have no friend
Just ’cause I’m real I can’t pretend
Holding back no evidence
One day I’ll be your president
Don’t be surprised when you see me on tour
Acting like I don’t know you no more
No be now but when I blow up
Dem no fit talk say dem no know before
(Aristokrat Records)
It’s like this whole world is a Monopoly board
Could be hot today, tomorrow you ain’t hot anymore
So be careful the way that you handling yours
The toe you stepped on last year might wanna settle the score
There’s no deceiving me
So I won’t owe you no apologies
This is the last time that you’ll see a bad guy like me-e-e-e-e
They say I’m bad, me have no friend
Just ’cause I’m real I can’t pretend
Holding back no evidence
One day I’ll be your president
Don’t be surprised when you see me on tour
Acting like I don’t know you no more
No be now but when I blow up
Dem no fit talk say dem no know before
