They Dont 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 yah 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 dont know

They see me smile, but they don't know what I feel inside

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 dont know

They see me smile, but they don't know what I feel inside

Only you know, chronixx, only you know

They see me smile, but they don't know what I feel 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, low 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 pun di stage show and dun it

Him an him badman friend dem bun it,

But dem never know say a one shirt mi have

Mi haffi wash it and, mi haffi sun it off

Dem say mi tek di stage show, dem say mi lyrics dem a flow

But dem never know say mi 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, they see you smile
