Tell Me Nothing

[Intro]

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo

Ooh, ooh

Yuh, yeah, yeah

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Problem child, problem's mine (Yeah)

Tried to fit in all the time (Yeah)

Even now I see the flashback (Uh)

Life a stage, I missed the lines

Don't miss the times when my own friends pretended I didn't exist, befriended liars

Just some kids the words used defending lies

Fuck 'em man, I hope that agenda dies because it's— (Woop)

Some nature versus nurture shit

My mother birthed a hurtin' son of a gun

That's why this verse felt relevant, I'm adamant the person I was (Yeah)

Deep inside a different version of the surface I loved

They made a brown kid dummy like my writing is shit, no shit

Then adolescence was just burning the wick

Waitin' for time tickin' 'til it tie me up in a grip

Workin' a nine to five shift like I'm done with this shit

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I started fires in the third grade

Yellin' rebel nothings

Thinkin' they were something, yeah

And the pain wouldn't slide on the birthdays

Recess or the lunch breaks

Couldn't tell me nothin'

Still can't tell me nothin'

[Chorus]

Still can't tell me nothin'

Fuck your damn assumptions (Uh, yeah)

I won't keep my cool

Tell me nothin'

Still can't tell me nothin'

I'll just take my money (I take it)

To keep my cool

[Interlude]

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo

Ayy, ayy, ayy

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo

Ooh, ooh

Tell me nothin'

Yeah, yeah, ayy

Yuh

[Verse 2]

Modern man, modern plans (Yuh)

I don't need your modern scams, yuh (Yuh)

Even now I hearin' them cookin' up to—

Sell my soul for a couple grand

I kiss goodbye to bein' a punk

All I need is my laptop, freedom, and a feminine touch

And soon enough I'll be sendin' 'em damage

'Til I say that a million won't be enough

Yeah my following ain't big but I'm looking buff to me up

But I don't want a white collar fuckin' it up for me

Yeah, I'm all authentic, broke, ambitious and my car dented, yuh (Yuh)

So I gotta drive like nobody, nobody takin' my cut

But I don't really do no fucking work for free

So don't count on me, yeah

Don't count on me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I started fires in the third grade

Yellin' rebel nothings

Thinkin' they were something, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain wouldn't slide on the birthdays

Recess or the lunch breaks

Couldn't tell me nothin' (No)

Still can't tell me nothin'

[Chorus]

Still can't tell me nothin'

Fuck your damn assumptions (Oh, oh, oh)

I won't keep my cool

Tell me nothin'

Still can't tell me nothin'

I'll just take my money

To keep my cool

[Outro]

I keep my cool

Don't say a word

They'll be back in a moment

When it's your moment

Just keep it cool

Separate from the herd

And at first you'll be lonely

'Til they all hone in

Say tell me nothin'

Yeah, yeah, ayy

Mmm, yeah, yeah

Say tell me nothin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
