Didn't Know

Intro

Yeah

I used to sit on the steps

Tryin' to puzzle out puzzles

Chorus

Didn't know what a rap beef was

Just a mystery behind the bars

All these words thrown like gloves

But I never knew it cut this hard

Verse 2

Back when I was young, flipping tracks with my pen

Listened to the records, didn’t know what was within

Heard the shots in the verses, drama played out in spins

Loyalty and pride beneath the surface, boiling again

Didn’t see the poison in the stares or the lines in the sand

Was just a fan with a walkman, beats locked in my hand

Then I grew into the code, unspoken by the clan

Rap beef wasn’t talk, it was war written in grams

Pre-Chorus

Used to think it’s just rhymes, just words in a box

But I learned there’s a world that the pen unlocks

Ties you to the pain, history and the cost

If you don’t recognize it, you’ll get lost

Chorus

Didn't know what a rap beef was

Just a mystery behind the bars

All these words thrown like gloves

But I never knew it cut this hard

Post-Chorus

Ohh oh, mystery behind the bars

Ohh oh, never knew it cut this hard
