"So when you think you know the whole
 you don't even know the half"   > Guru  _Mostly Tha Voice_

 Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru (repeat 2X)

 [Shara Nelson] (Guru)
 Nobody knows Nobody knows  the insides and out y'all
 what I'm goin through Nobody knows what's behind the scenes
 Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow
 what I feel inside Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams..

 [Guru]
 I'm catchin a flashback of the days when
 my pockets were dry, I only had a few friends
 Those same brothers now my family
 We've been through it all, in this industry
 Mad frustrated, ready to flip
 because the company was playin me like some dumb kid
 Video out and I'm still ridin the train
 Workin and hustlin, no pain no gain
 Now here comes the spotlight, still somethin's not right
 I gotta pay my rent by five o'clock tonight
 Livin on fifty cent noodles
 but I'm playin the game, that the brothers know I'm true to
 Can't let up, although the journey is rough
 Focus on the goal like it's the Stanley Cup
 I gotta play this thing for keeps
 My only stress relief is the hip-hop beats

 Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru

 [Shara Nelson] (Guru)
 Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all
 when I close the door Nobody knows what's behind the scenes
 Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow
 They try to kill my dreams Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams..

 [Guru]
 Skippin the turnstyles, everyday lifestyle
 Lookin at this world with mad anger cause it's wild
 People thinkin that I'm blowin up
 But they don't understand, the young man is growin up
 Now who you think I should trust?
 Better rely on self, no time for missin the bus
 Fake people, phony characters
 They begin to swarm, so I built up barriers
 to block em out, but they still dwellin
 Makes me wanna just start yellin
 But I play it cool though, cause I'm no fool yo
 See chumps'll always try to break down your flow

 Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru

 [Shara Nelson] (Guru)
 Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all
 what I'm goin through Nobody knows what's behind the scenes
 Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow
 what I feel inside Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams..

 [Guru]
 No time for misery, no time for empty wishin
 'fridgerator's bare, killin roaches in the kitchen
 Just spent my last on a 40
 to sip away my troubles, now it's worse, cause I'm hungry
 I check my man for advice
 He lent me 20 dollars and we lounged and got nice
 I told him nobody knows about the wack side
 I feel like a slave gettin whipped on my backside

 Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru (repeat 2X)

 [Shara Nelson] (Guru)
 Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all
 when I close the door Nobody knows what's behind the scenes
 Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow
 They try to kill my dreams Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams..

 Chorus: Shara Nelson and Guru (repeat 2X)

 [Shara Nelson] (Guru)
 Nobody knows Nobody knows, the insides and out y'all
 what I'm goin through Nobody knows what's behind the scenes
 Nobody knows Nobody knows about the hardship and sorrow
 what I feel inside Nobody knows about the dreams.. bout the dreams
