Jay Sean
You don't know me - tekst piosenki

Straight out of UK, came a little british asian brother by the name of Jay
who never, cared down what you said, so many companies want to me, be in my way

I been here a while now, doing my things, hanging up and never giving it up
always percevire throughout the years, and the fuss about my colour never giving a f**k

Wanted you to see, the talent in me, but you wouldnt hear what i say
now the stories changed, cos suddenly asians are the fashionable trend today

What they told me, was that im a brown man whose up in the black industry
But that wont hold me down, look at me now, got to where i want to be,

"You dont know me, Jay Sean is the name"
"You dont know me, i was born for the game"
"You dont know me, so why dont you take me as i am"
"You dont know me, Jay Sean is the name"

Tell me what is happening, cos now the music industry is focusing on marketing ploys
See i remember back when it wasnt about looks or colour but about the voice
Now things are changing cos back in the day, no one happened to be feeling my sound
Now its all about the latest trends, i guess im lucky cos the colour of the season is brown

I dont live for clam, and i dont care for fame, i mean its for the love of the game
Funny how things can change, when suddenly those who turned against you want to know you again
all i wanted was to be me and let you see what this means to me, so words dont fail me now
look at me now, i got to where i want to be

"You dont know me, Jay Sean is the name"
"You dont know me, i was born for the game"
"You dont know me, so why dont you take me as i am"
"You dont know me, Jay Sean is the name"

I'm gonna break it down, I'm gonna break it down, break it down

I'm ready to spit rap
In front of all the people who told me my shits wack
Sit back

Even all of those brothers who wanted to quit rap
Sit back with a phat joint
But now we're up till that point

I'm one of the darkest men
And with the fastest lyrics that you couldn't hack boy

Yo I'm sick of u teasers trying to test me
I'm sick of being asked by people, tellin' me drop my demo off next week

Starting to vex me
Wack promoter saying my set's weak

Tried and tried to get a signing
And all the labels sayin'


"Let's see
Maybe, um possibly
I guess u got potential"

Lookin' at my colour and ignoring my credentials
Skin ain't the issue man
I'm dark when I start to spit
It's about appeal and how a artist can be marketted

And now the asian scenes, the place to be
Ever since goodness gracious me graced the scene
What with Missy, Truth Hurts and Redman having a taste
We even got the Kumars dancing for Gareth Gates

You don't know me...
