Insert B (The Real Deal) / Nobody Knows

Insert B (The Real Deal) / Nobody Knows - Guru/Shara Nelson/Jan Kincaid

So when you think you know the whole

You don't even know the half

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

What I'm going through

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

What I feel inside

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

What I'm going through

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

What I feel inside

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

I'm catching a flashback of the days when

My pockets were dry I only had a few friends

Those same brothers now my family

We've been through it all in this industry

Mad frustrated ready to flip because

The company was playing me like some dumb kid

Video out and I'm still riding the train

Working and hustling no pain no gain

Now here comes the spotlight still something's not right

I gotta pay my rent by five o'clock tonight

Living on fifty cent noodles but I'm playing the game

That the brothers know I'm true to

Can't let up although the journey is rough

Focus on the goal like it's the Stanley Cup

I gotta play this thing for keeps

My only stress relief is the hip-hop beats

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

When I close the door

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

They try to kill my dreams

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

Skipping the turn styles everyday lifestyle

Looking at this world with mad anger 'cause it's wild

People thinking that I'm blowing up

But they don't understand the young man is growing up

Now who you think I should trust

Better rely on self no time for missing the bus

Fake people phony characters

They begin to swarm so I built up barriers

To block 'em out but they still dwelling

Makes me wanna just start yelling

But I play it cool though 'cause I'm no fool yo

See chumps'll always try to break down your flow

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

What I'm going through

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

What I feel inside

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

No time for misery no time for empty wishing

'Fridgerator's bare killing roaches in the kitchen

Just spent my last on a 40 to sip away my troubles

Now it's worse 'cause I'm hungry

I check my man for advice

He lent me 20 dollars and we lounged and got nice

I told him nobody knows about the wack side

I feel like a slave getting whipped on my backside

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

When I close the door

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

They try to kill my dreams

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

What I'm going through

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

What I feel inside

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows the insides and out y'all)

When I close the door

(Nobody knows what's behind the scenes)

Nobody knows

(Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow)

They try to kill my dreams

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)

NNobody knows

They try to kill my dreams

(Nobody knows about the dreams 'bout the dreams)
