What Do They Know?

[Verse] They speak on fame and fortune But what do they know? They're too caught up in the hype Can't see the real show They paint a pretty picture But it's all a facade I walk my own path I'm not in their squad [Verse 2] They preach about the struggle But what do they know? They never had to hustle Never had to grow They claim they understand But it's all a charade I've been through the fire I've felt the grenades [Chorus] What do they know? What do they know? They talk about the highs But what about the lows? I'm carving my own path I'll make my own way I'm moving in silence I've got something to say [Verse] They talk about the pain But I've walked through fire I've been down and broken But I still won't tire They preach about the struggle But what do they know? I've lived it Breathed it Got scars that show I've fought battles in the darkness With no light in sight Every punch that I've taken I've learned to fight They're just observers Speaking from the outside But I've lived it all It's something I can't hide [Verse 2] They talk about the struggle Like it's just a game But they don't know the pain The tears The shame I've seen the world crumble And I've endured the fall I've walked through the fire And I've seen it all [Verse] I've walked through the fire I've been to the darkest places Seen the world crumble and fall But I rise above it all I've seen it all The highs and the lows Every twist and turn But still I continue to grow [Verse 2] I've been pushed to the edge Temptations try to bring me down But I stand tall Unyielding No storm can make me drown
