   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...
