Don't T.I.P.

[Intro] Check it [Verse] So intense, thinking too deep When they say that it ain't, but it is to me Where do I begin this story? A couple years before Year 3 It's 2000 or 01 that time in Year 1 when I was picked on Ever since then been one to roll on my ones most times Probably why I'm so overprotective of my son Would dread to know such things happened to him And history repeat, luckily they tried to defeat me but failed So I didn't have to get back to my feet, 'cause I'm like MBJ Or more so MJB Emotional being; equivalent to an elephant or a whale Never forget the effects that it had on me and what it leads to Now I've got all this PTSD like Mrs Mickie when she was bullied too And called Piggie James, that wasn't cool They aimed shots at me some missed but however many on target pierced the skin and now others I don't let in so easily because I bruise and refuse to endure and suffer or be subject to anymore open wounds and let them attack like Emily Spent so much time tryna impress 'em like Lacey Ended up tryna walk away like Macy Since they didn't take to me Hoping I'd end up seeing brighter days But it wasn't my golden hour yet like Kacey's Pent up all this anger that forever chased me Like I was chaste and feeling frustrated Made me triggered as I was taking all the sly digs Like I was Taye, see It's not just Ls I be taking and claim as this namesake for me I be taking it personally on a regular basis Everybody goes through something Even the greatest, Ali or the son of Afeni Even the rose that came through the concrete But every so often, I feel so depleted For the love I rarely received it Wasn't reciprocated from family to friends Made it a duty to be there and sing their praises Never fall 'til they're faded, so elated Never to be debated Octaves high but felt silent when it was me up As if I dropped the re-up So many lost loves left me jaded But I thought to myself a couple months ago: Is this all because I wouldn't do the same to them? Maybe so The same things they do to me, they probably do to many others So why take it personal? Don't take it personal – Jhené said it Don't take it personal – Monica said it Don't take it personal – about time I learned not to take it personal and let it go, 'cause it hurts, I know [Refrain] So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go) So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go) So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go) So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go) Don't take it personal
