They Don't Know Me

In 'They Don't Know Me,' Skinnyfromthe9 delves into the depths of his personal struggles, painting a vivid picture of betrayal, loneliness, and the harsh realities of his life.

The repetition of 'they don't know me' underscores his frustration with being misunderstood and judged by those around him.

The lyrics also explore themes of betrayal and disloyalty, particularly from those closest to him. Skinnyfromthe9 recounts how his own mother stole from him and his brothers betrayed him, highlighting the deep scars left by these experiences. This sense of betrayal extends to his romantic relationships, where he feels used and unloved. The line 'you don't fuck with me, baby, you just fucking me' poignantly captures his disillusionment with love and trust.

Skinnyfromthe9's lyrics also touch on the pressures and dangers of fame. He describes how people seek to exploit him for clout, and the constant scrutiny he faces from the public. The mention of his past hardships, such as having no place to sleep or food to eat, contrasts sharply with his current status, emphasizing the disconnect between his past and present. The song's recurring theme of 'evil world, all my demons' reflects his ongoing battle with inner demons and the external challenges he faces. Despite these struggles, Skinnyfromthe9 remains focused and determined, finding strength in his solitude and resilience.
