Rappers in the early days of the genre were known for being candid about the experiences they’d had and the sights they’d seen. The words and the arrangement of “Don’t Know” perfectly captures these early elements of the genre.
What makes the track so intriguing in both lyrical and musical terms, is the nearly retro-style delivery that manages to create a captivating narrative. The track’s narrator, toughened by life’s trials, is a survivor who wants nothing more than to get out alive. It’s clear that the artist’s serious observations on the topic of having the desire and perseverance to attain one’s goals influenced “Don’t Know,” making it one of the track’s primary motifs.
This lyrically powerful and catchy song has the potential to become a classic, and it would be especially well-suited to a live audience due to its strong sing-along qualities.
