You Don't Know Me is a coming-of-age novel by David Klass which tells the tale of a young boy who is abused and faces pressure in his school. It was first published in 2001.
John is a fourteen-year-old boy. He lives with his mother and his mother's boyfriend, Stan, who he calls the "Man Who is Not my Father". His real father left the home when John was young. Stan abuses John by assaulting him when nobody is around.
As well as his family life, much of the book explores John's struggles to fit in at school and his relationship with his closest friend, whom John calls "Billy Beezer" because of his large nose. John is presented as a social outsider, his one interest being playing the tuba, which he was forced into when asked to choose an extra-curricular activity, but he has a crush on a very popular girl named Gloria, whom he calls "Glory Hallelujah". Billy also has a crush on Gloria.
Billy Beezer is arrested for stealing an egg roll from a Chinese restaurant in the food court of a mall. With Billy out of the picture, John sees this as a chance to ask Gloria out, which he does the following day. She accepts and goes to a basketball game with him. Billy also attends the game and calls John a terrible friend. A riot breaks out in the gym and John and Gloria escape. Gloria brings John home and seduces him until John escapes from her and her angry father, but leaves clothes and money which he took from his stepfather Stan's bedroom drawer. Stan finds out and takes John to do some "business" as a way of paying back the money. John is forced to carry TVs into a truck and realises that Stan is handling stolen goods, which is how he affords the brand-new TV in their home despite not working. Stan tells John that he and John's mother are getting married.

You Don't Know is the debut single by gospel artist Kierra "Kiki" Sheard. The song was chosen as the lead single for Sheard's debut project, I Owe You. The song was specifically written and produced for Sheard by Rodney Jerkins for Darkchild Productions.
In 2001 Kierra's mother, Karen Clark-Sheard, was faced with a life-threatening crisis when a blood vessel burst during a scheduled hernia surgery. Her doctors only gave her a 2% chance of survival due to her complications. After the blood clot was surgically removed, Clark-Sheard fell into a coma. The coma lasted for weeks, but she made a miraculous recovery. Clark-Sheard's near-death experience is said to have inspired "You Don't Know".
"You Don't Know" managed to crack the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop singles list at number 84 and is one of the few singles by the artist to even chart while her full length albums generally have charted well.
In 2005, the song won a Dove Award for Urban Recorded Song of the Year at the 36th GMA Dove Awards.

The album has drawn mainly positive reviews, with Entertainment Weekly magazine noting, "Indeed, the album is an unmistakable attempt to channel [Michael Jackson's early work such as "Off the Wall"]...and the effort often pays off beautifully...Ne-Yo's lithe falsetto puts the many others who've been labeled Jackson-esque to shame." PopMatters.com called the album "a masterpiece of a record" and praised the title track's blend of "upbeat modern-day funk tempo, beautifully melodic backdrop and love-sick (in a good way) vocals...[it's] the perfect lead single off an album that is filled with number-one hits".Slant Magazine also compared the album's sensual ballads to Janet Jackson.
You say you knew Jackie Onassis
When she was an actress
You say you knew Buffalo Bill
Before he could kill
You've got your head twisted round the back
So you can't see
My life colliding with your life
And you say you know me
But you don't know me
You don't know me
And in no way am I a mystery
Just hang a bell around my neck
And call me ol' Bessie
Yeah take that cattle prod back
Before I see red
You've got your head twisted round the back
So you can't see
My horns colliding with your ass
Cause you think you own me
But you don't own me
You don't own me
And in no way am I a mystery
You don't know me
You don't know me
And your thickness is hard to believe
You don't know me
You don't know me
And in no way am I a mystery
You don't know me
You don't know me
And your thickness is hard to believe
