They Don't Know

They don't know, and I say they don't know
They see me smile, but they don't know what I feel inside
Only you know, yeah, only you know
They see me smile
But they don't know what I feel inside

They see the dancing dem see the performance
Nuff people see mi life an waan one
But dem nuh know say more time it look dormant
And dem nuh see say ah mi belly mi a crawl pun
Cause mi mama just call mi with tears in her eyes
She never know mi have a stage show tonight
Not even she see di fears in my eyes
But mi just a gwan put on di show

Cause they don't know, yeah
They don't know, they see me smile
But they don't know what I feel inside (dem nuh know, dem nuh know)
Only you know, only I know jah
They see me smile but they don't know what I feel inside

Inna di boiling Sun footing it on di street
Righteous music mi putting it pun di beat
But, nuttin nuh righteous but how life set
If yuh nuh know hard life, den yuh nuh know life yet
Beca mi papa just call mi, poverty mek him a screw
Him never know say mi have an interview
But, mi still have to put on di show, because they don't know

I say they don't know, yeah, they don't know
They see me smile but they don't know what I feel inside
Only you know, chronixx, only you know
They see you smile bwoy, but they don't know what It feels inside

Yes I, so low mi mek mi bawl, low mi mek mi cry
Cause they don't know what I feel inside
Low mi mek mi bawl, leave mi mek mi cry
Yes I, yes I, yes I
And I say so low mi mek mi bawl
Low mi mek mi cry, cause
Only I know, yes jah yes, only I know
Dem say, Chronixx come pon di stageshow and dun it
Him and him budzman friend dem bun it
But dem never know seh a one shirt mi have
Mi haffi wash it and, mi haffi Sun it, oh
Dem say mi tek di stage show
Dem say mi lyrics dem a flow
But dem never know seh we haffi
Work hard inna six feet of snow

They don't know, they don't know
They see me smile, but they don't know what I feel inside
Only I know, yes bwoy, only I know
They see me smile
