AUGUST ALSINA – Nobody Knows

#
A+
A-

This song is from the album Downtown: Life Under the Gun(2013), released on Aug 20, 2013.
I loved this song very much. The production was classic, the lyrics were meaningful and the execution was perfect. He talks about how fame has affected him and the status of his relationships. He says that nobody knows what he is going through, all that the people see are glory and fame, they don’t understand the hardships and the hard work that he had to go through to reach that stage. Thanks to Christian for this suggestion.

[INTRO] Ebm Bbm B x4
[HOOK]
Ebm     Bbm                 B
Nobody knows what I go through
Ebm                 Bbm                 B
Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes
        Ebm                  Bbm
You got friends that ain't friends no more
                               B
They don't understand the life I chose
         Ebm           Bbm
See the money and the fame
                 B
It can hurt everything you love
           Ebm           Bbm
Got some people that depend on me
                  B
And I can't give up
                            Ebm     Bbm
They don't know what I'm going through
                                      B
They don't know what I'm going through

[VERSE]
                  Ebm                         Bbm
Nobody saw the struggle they just see the reward
                                        B
They focused on the peace but they never saw the war
Ebm                             Bbm
Homies I started with ain't make it till the end
Bbm                               B
They used to be my niggas now we ain't friends
                            Ebm           Bbm
Long as I'm putting niggas on it be all good
                                              B
Soon as I tell them that I can't they're the first to go
                              Ebm                Bbm
I see 'em trying to come around since I'm out the hood
                                      B
But I see 'em being fake so I let 'em know
B
I got to let 'em know

[HOOK]
Ebm     Bbm                 B
Nobody knows what I go through
Ebm                 Bbm                 B
Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes
        Ebm                  Bbm
You got friends that ain't friends no more
                               B
They don't understand the life I chose
         Ebm           Bbm
See the money and the fame
                 B
It can hurt everything you love
           Ebm           Bbm
Got some people that depend on me
                  B
And I can't give up
                            Ebm     Bbm
They don't know what I'm going through
                                      B
They don't know what I'm going through

[VERSE]
           Ebm                      Bbm
Now everybody run up with their hand out  
Bbm
Maybe 'cause I stand out
                    B
See me in a video, thinking that I'm cashing out
Ebm                                 Bbm
They don't see my homies with the notices on their house
Bbm                               B
They just think I'm eating so they sitting with an open mouth 
Ebm                   Bbm
Laying back saying I should give 'em this and buy 'em that
                              B
I remember back when I was hurting, working selling crack
Ebm                         Bbm
Where were all these niggas at claiming they my fam
                          B
If I lost it all tomorrow I know they won't give a damn

[HOOK]
Ebm     Bbm                 B
Nobody knows what I go through
Ebm                 Bbm                 B
Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes
        Ebm                  Bbm
You got friends that ain't friends no more
                               B
They don't understand the life I chose
         Ebm           Bbm
See the money and the fame
                 B
It can hurt everything you love
           Ebm           Bbm
Got some people that depend on me
                  B
And I can't give up
                            Ebm     Bbm
They don't know what I'm going through
                                      B
They don't know what I'm going through
