“They Know” is about Mean’s ongoing struggle and persistence with music while battling his inner demons. Looking to earn respect and recognition from those who matter, Mean pushes on with his musical journey feeling like a hero until they know…
[Chorus]
I’m feeling like a hero
When they see me they bow cos they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
[Verse 1]
Homie tell me really watchu know about me (bout me)
There’s a whole lotta things that they consume
But nothing that they really can see
So better not get in my way
Ive been searching for the light in the darkest of days
I’ve been through the pain been through struggle
Made it to out the gutter made it out the rubble
Outchea tryna find another way, ay
Don’t care what a hater gotta say, ay
Still a plain joe never was a born don
So will they still love me even when I’m long gone
So long as I live Imma keep it running
The dapper rapper so they know that I’m stuntin’
Go and tell ‘em it’s warning
So they know that I’m coming
[Chorus]
I’m feeling like a hero
When they see me they bow cos they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
[Verse 2]
You can say I sell out, b
But you know it’s “c’est la vie”
They be asking who that is boy
They know who I be, yuh
Never better when I’m working harding for the cheddar
Doesn’t matter where the money from I’ma getta
Try stop me but I tell ‘em No way
24/7 i be working all day
Mama, don’t worry
Some day, I’ma be somebody
Don’t worry bout me, I got it
If you outta my league, don’t doubt it
No, you can’t enter the zone
Let me do this on my own
I’ma do this all alone
Give me a little more time
Imma be king the throne
[Bridge]
Now they, now they know
Now they know, now they, now they know
Now they, now they know
Now they know, now they, now they know
Now they, now they know
Now they know, now they, now they know
Now they, now they know
Now they know, now they, now they know
[Chorus]
I’m feeling like a hero
When they see me they bow cos they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
I’m feeling like a hero
When they see me they bow cos they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
