Thee knows you,

How much should I envy Thee?"

they are saying that

i know u
u dont no me
and then theres her
she knows u
and u know her
how jealous of her should i be?

nope not at all but i do just a little

i know you, but you don't know me. then there's him, and he knows you, and you know him. how much should i envy him?

that's all it's saying. the writer is jealous because the girl is dating someone else. "thee" doesn't seem to be used properly because it generally means "you". i guess they were trying to sound fancy and smart.

too bad it didn't work.

It's saying you know yourself should you be jealous of yourself?

well this "I" envies "thee" b/c you know thee and not I, and I wishes you to know I.

yes, i know her but she doesnt know me, but then theres thee thee knows her, she knows thee, and i envy thee.

i understan

i know you.
you don't know me
then theres a person
that knows nubnation
nubnation knows you
how much should i envy the person

i think they're trying to sound intellectual and failing miserably.

If it helps at all - "thee" means you. so basically they're saying you don't know them, but you know yourself. should i envy you because you know yourself?

but yet again, i think the persons trying too hard.

It tells a story of a shy friend who knows you, but you ignore them. The "thee" could be a possible lover who you and that lover are both into each other. The last line says the shy friend envys the lover and wants to be in that place of being loved. That's what I see.

i think this man loves and cares 4 this woman but she doesn't love him back and maybe she doesn't even know him then he discovers that there's another man that she knows him and cares 4 him so he envys that man so much that he can't assume how much

It's a love triangle ^_^

I've never read anything like ‘You don't know I' but 'you never know me'. I should doubt the correctness of the lines from grammatical point of view.
Nor does it make any sense from linguistic point of view, other wordplay in jest.
