Lyrics
Chorus: YB
I don't talk a lot 'cause when you know you know (You know it)
I don't move a lot 'cause when you know you know
I don't brag 'cause when you know you know
Don't need no bags 'cause when you know you know
My God is good and I really know you know
Young and redeemed and I really know you know
I don't brag 'cause when you know you know
These ain't no bags 'cause when you know you know
Verse 1: YB
I come from the trenches I can tell they know
I didn't have it with me but you watch it glow
I'm like a maid overworked and underpaid
It don't matter what you tell me 'cause the fact is
I could never go and fold
I don't care the dollar sign I do not move for dollars
We didn't have the dollar signs but God sent me through college
On to next dying flesh every service left refreshed
He took me from good to great
How can I not give Him my best
Chorus
I don't talk a lot 'cause when you know you know (You know it)
I don't move a lot 'cause when you know you know
I don't brag 'cause when you know you know
Don't need no bags 'cause when you know you know
Verse 2: Adriel Cruz
Pull up to the dark street
To the bright house
You think that you raw with your ice out
I just hit the trap got the mice out
I live my life like that, what your life bout?
You know you know you know you know
Hell is hotter than a frying pan
Do my own stunts like I'm Jackie Chan
I'm going big like leviathan, yuh
Got some new tech, got a new suit like Iron man
Please don't disrespect no, please do not try my hand
Chorus: YB
I don't talk a lot 'cause when you know you know
I don't move a lot 'cause when you know you know
I don't brag 'cause when you know you know
Don't need no bags 'cause when you know you know
My God is good and I really know you know
Young and redeemed and I really know you know (Yeah)
I don't brag 'cause when you know you know
These ain't no bags 'cause when you know you know
Yeah

Meaning & Inspiration
You Know presents confidence in God through the direct language of Christian rap. The recurring refrain rejects status symbols, empty boasting, and movement driven by money. In their place, the song emphasizes redemption, divine goodness, perseverance, and gratitude. The first verse looks back on hardship and limited resources while crediting God with providing a path through college and calling for wholehearted service.
The lyrics balance quiet assurance with energetic testimony. Repetition of the title phrase suggests that faith does not need constant display to be real, while the verses still speak openly about changed life and spiritual resolve. The refusal to brag may recall the biblical instruction that any boasting should be in the Lord. Likewise, the description of being young and redeemed aligns with the call for the redeemed to declare what God has done. The result is a concise statement of identity grounded less in possessions than in grace, discipline, and loyalty to God.
