I don’t know man, it’s just... (laughs)
Why are you so paranoid (I can’t help it)
Why are you so paranoid (ay, they didn’t know I could sing girl)
Don't be so...

[Hook: Bryson Tiller]
They say to me
Don’t worry 'bout it
I’ll be famous
Keep on dreamin’ about it
I worry 'bout the wrong things, the wrong things
I worry ‘bout the wrong things, the wrong things
I’m tryna do my own thing, my own thing
And put on for my home team, my own team

[Refrain 1]
Ya
Everybody tellin’ me I should never think about it
(I’d rather somebody tell me I can’t be successful)
Sometimes, I just don’t really give a fuck
(Even though I can, ha)
(Where my fans at? That’s what they tell me)
Anyway, they don't know you like I do
(They know, they know)
They never know you
(Famous, one day)
Anyway, they don't know you like I do
(They know, that I'll be...)
They never know you

[Verse: Bryson Tiller]
I’m paranoid, yo
And sometimes I be thinking this ain’t for me
But when I hit 'em with the flow
Everybody up, everybody standin’ at their feet
They never would’ve guessed
Somebody so talented would ever give up, no
I made a whole mixtape just to show a nigga I deserve a deal
Show 'em I could go
If they sleepin’ on me then I’m Freddy, Kroeger
Time to win it all, man
Forget these losers
Haters won’t befriend me
But that goes against my killer instinct

[Hook: Bryson Tiller]
Anyway, they don’t know you like I do
They never know you
Anyway, they don’t know you like I do
They never know you

Bryson Tiller is an American singer-songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky. His debut studio album T R A P S O U L, was released on October 2, 2015.

Tiller started receiving massive internet attention from music industry insiders with his breakout single “Don’t” which he originally released on SoundCloud, which has since been streamed over 35 million times.

Early co-signs from super producer Timbaland and Drake led to multiple major label deals for Bryson. One of those major label deals being a OVO contract from Drizzy, but Bryson surprisingly declined the offer. Later he eventually chose to sign a creative partnership with RCA Records on August 25, 2015. It wasn’t easy for Bryson coming up although. Bryson realeased Killer Instinct Vol. 1 back in 2011. While at the same time, Bryson was working some real overtime and was a big hustler, working two jobs and also dealing with relationship issues. At one point, Bryson even considered applying for a third job, to provide for his little daughter, Harley (who is featured in the True To Self cover art). Bryson struggled but then he released a song that would change his life forever. He dropped this song on Soundcloud in 2014. This song is the one we all know and love, Don’t. Bryson instantly became an overnight sensation. And from that we already know he received props from Timbaland and Drake and since then has released three T R A P S O U L in 2015, True To Self in 2017 and A N N I V E R S A R Y in 2020, exactly five years after the release of his debut album.
