VIDEO: CHRIS BROWN F/ AALIYAH – ‘DON’T THINK THEY KNOW’

After a few delays, Chris Brown debuts the video for “Don’t Think They Know,” the second single off his upcoming album X(July 16). A shirtless Breezy rides through Compton and kicks it with kids in the neighborhood in the black-and-white clip.

“[I'm] bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from,” explained Chris.

The song features vocals from the late Aaliyah. “Hope this new single inspires change and unity! Life is a Gift. I love doing what I do. All the little things count!” he tweeted.

The video is dedicated to those we’ve lost including Aaliyah and his friend Lil Frogg.

Lyrics:

[Intro: Aaliyah]

I don't think they know the truth - say they saw

I don't think they know, how could they know?

I don't think they know the truth - say they saw

I don't think they know, how could they know?

[Chris Brown]

A-A to the L-I-Y-A-H.. it's Breezy

Don't let them tell you any different (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)

I owe it all to you (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)

And as much as I messed up, always give me your best love (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it

Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve you (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)

They gon' talk about it (gon' talk about it), gon' try to change your mind about it

Gon' tell you things you don't wanna hear cause we good (don't worry 'bout it)

So when they talk about (they talk about it), just let 'em know we already got it

Just tell 'em that we gon' work at it, we good (don't worry 'bout it)

[Hook: Aaliyah] + (Chris Brown)

I don't think they know the truth - say they saw

I don't think they know, how could they know?

I don't think they know the truth - say they saw

I don't think they know, how could they know?

(Don't listen to) How could they know?

(What people say) How could they know?

(They don't know about) How could they know?

('Bout you and me) How could they know?

[Chris Brown]

At my best you love me (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)

Even though I act my worse (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it

And I know that it's different, feels like we're best friends

We connected (they don't know about us, they don't know about it

What did I do to deserve you (yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it

They gon' talk about it (gon' talk about it), gon' try to change your mind about it

Gon' tell you things you don't wanna hear cause we good (don't worry 'bout it)

So when they talk about (they talk about it), just let 'em know we already got it

Just tell 'em that we gon' work at it, we good (don't worry 'bout it)

[Hook]

[Interlude: Aaliyah] + (Chris Brown)

How could they know?

How could they know? (They don't know about us, they don't know about it)

How could they know?

How could they know? (They don't know about us, they don't know about it)

[Aaliyah]

Thank you for the autographs, and the tears over the years

You stood by me, you didn't doubt me - I think you want some more

I do more than sing

I'm older now, actin' now cause I got my own movie now

After all the awards that they gave me, you still found me

You didn't play me, you didn't doubt me - think you want some more

I truly believe that if it wasn't all for you

I don't know what I would do

[Hook]
