They don't see me but they hear me
They don't feel me, but they fear me. I'm illi
from Lil Wayne – A Milli Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
The parrallel structure (“they don’t x but they y”) uses three of the five senses, plus “fear”, which is arguably a sixth sense, to say:
“No one comes close to me in terms of skill, status, etc., but everyone recognizes my influence. People don’t like me but they’re afraid of me”
