Never Know

This is a story about a man
And all the struggles and adversity
That he was faced with
And everything in between
So if you know someone like this
Check on em
Make sure that they straight
You feel me

You can call him joe
You won't meet nobody smarter
Nobody that work harder
But when you look at it
I guess he's just an average joe
He know his feelins
Ain't the same
Go ahead and handle
All his pain
From all the feelins
That I guess will never never know
And if you judge him by his cover
Cause you blinded
By Your covers
Then I guess he's just and average joe
That you'll never never know

Mix check
One two
One two
He spit feelings
Then go back on mute
He steady follow the news
He steady follow the clues
You would have a heavy foot
If you walked in his shoes
He tryna make momma proud
Tryna wave to the crowds
You ain't never seen someone
Wantin' acceptance
So loud
Now all that he built
Man It's all comin' down
Now he feel like a clown

Rest In Peace
To all his anxiety
He trapped in a den
Where all the liars be
I mean where all the lions be
He trapped in a den of thieves
Can't open the door
Cause he ain't got no keys
Brighter vision
Got him thinkin' maniacally
Undeniably
Was any of it real
Or was it fantasy
Or was it just a product of society
Just tryna wipe it all out my mind man

He meet a shawty
You can call that his best friend
He get the word
He get the call
And now we steppin
That's who he ride for
That's who he'd die for
You get picture
That I'm painting
In yo mind folks
You get the feeling
That I'm puttin
In your spine folks
But nobody
Knew him
Like I do
And nobody knew pain
Like he knew

But somehow he still standing man

He rollin over
Early pictures and bottles
You only live once
Man
Drake said dats the motto
But his life went too fast
When he was steppin on the throttle
And his life was in the gutter
When he was sippin on dem bottles
Try tellin a story
About a nigga who ain't make it
Who ain't go to jail
But I swear he facin cases
When I see him
I swear he changin faces
For the people in the back
And on the stages
So fix your braces
And fix your faces
Niggas lie and they end up on the pavement
That's what happens
When you playing games wit Satan
He don't know why
So many niggas hatin
I know this might seem crazy
But I hope you understand
Ain't nobody wit him
He just moving in advance
He jumpin over fences
Like he jumpin wit the fans
Tryna build a fortress
Like he tryna clash wit clans
And
I promise you
I swear that he's a soldier
I promise he ain't crying
Cause he crushed under the Boulder
Just haunted
By all the weight
That's hung up
Up on his shoulders
Wit everything that come his way
I swear he getting older
Wit all the pain that come his way
I swear he getting colder
Wit all the shame that come his way
I swear he getting folded
You ain't never met a nigga
Like mine
Just visionary tale
Of the
Sign of the times
He feelin restless
He pessimistic
He feel like his opportunity came
And then he missed it
Now he rebuildin
Man
Just Like he the pistons
ima spit this story
To anyone that listens
Yo wats the meanin
Yo why you dreamin
He movin different
Just Like he be feanin
Final shot of the game
He might fade like Kobe
He still making his moves
So that's the end of the story
I'm on it

You can call me joe
You won't meet nobody smarter
Nobody that works harder
But when you look at it
I guess I'm just an average Joe
I guess i'm just an average Joe
