about

You Don't Know Me is a song about acknowledging that the people that once knew and loved you, may not know the person you are today. It's ok to change and grow as a person, and more importantly, it's ok to outgrow people that don't want to grow with you. You should never be ashamed of changing.

I came up with the idea and the first few lyrics of the song while I was riding on the L train when I lived in Chicago. I was looking out of the window thinking about how far I had come to even be in that position, and how most of the people I grew up with probably didn't even know where I was.

lyrics

You don't know me like you used to
You don't know me like you did before
I ain't the same one that you once knew
The one that swore, to always adore you

When they were looking for clout
I was looking for out
Another dead end in town
Another clout to the mouth
Spit the blood out
Picked myself off the floor
I always wanted some more
I always wanted some change
Growing pains every age
Drunken fits of my rage
Always runnin' from nothin'
Nothin' came when I stayed
Memories made but the bonds do fade

You don't know me like you used to
You don't know me anymore
You don't know me like you used to
But if you call I'll answer for sure
Cause I still adore you

You don't know me like you once did
You don't know me like when we were kids
Do I know what you've been up to
To be fair, wouldn't care if I knew

Now I'm developed
No photos and no one who can tell it
Last time I spoke to Jay I told him forget it
I was probably a prick
Shh go take your pick
I was pushing my luck
Shoulda pushed daisies by truck
I been ducking and dodging
Lodging time between us
Act like I don't remember
When you bandaged my cuts
We were battered and bruised
Always used to be used
Now perusing persuasion
You to realize I'm changing

You don't know me like you used to
You don't know me anymore
You don't know me like you used to
But if you call I'll answer for sure

You don't know me like you used to
You don't know me anymore
You don't know me like you used to
But if you call I'll answer for sure
Cause I still adore you
