On “ what u dunno,” Chrisni details his difficulties with being expressive. In the second half of the song, he recounts an event that happened in high school, but because he didn’t realize what was happening back then, it didn’t hurt him, hence the title.
(Intro)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
What you don't know cannot hurt you
Hurt you, oh no no
What you don't know cannot hurt you
(Verse)
And I wasn't always expressive
I struggle sending the message
With daily-type conversations
It bothers me to the core
I keep thinking about the alphabet
Another way to talk
I feel limited
When I wanna make you how I feel just how I feel
I get mesmerized
Words disappear, and I get tired
I'm unable to describe
Exactly how I feel inside
That makes me question
If the feeling genuine or is it lies
I know I got the pride
I got that from my pops
English, and religion
So many similarities
I remember when my high school principal just wouldn't let us be
I won't call him a racist
But the nigga had an issue with black--nappy, kinky-coily
4a, 4b, 4c especially when blown and it's exposed out in the open
Started suspending niggas
It was niggas, I assure you
Other color creeds
Never received any issues
Too young to understand different devices of oppression
(Outro)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
What you don't know cannot hurt you
Hurt you, oh no no
What you don't know cannot hurt you
