He Doesn't Know

verse 2

By Forest GreenPublished 3 months ago • 1 min read

He don't see the 4AM calls, the late night texts  

He don't see the pressure sittin' heavy on the chest  

We turn the doubt into fuel, that's the flex  

He still talkin' loud, we already on the next  

I see the fake smiles, they just want the glow  

But we already know, we already know  

We move quiet, let the work do the talk  

He still guessin', still watchin' from the walk  

We got the blueprint, he still readin' the map  

We already there, he still tryna adapt  

He don't know the hunger, he don't feel the fire  

We built the empire, he still chasin' the wire
