Everybody Told Me

[Intro]

Maybe they seen me on the videos

Or they heard me on the radio

[Chorus]

Tip tried to tell me but damn I wouldn’t listen

Ye' tried to tell me but man I wouldn’t listen

Damn I should have listened

What would you do if it was you in my position?

Maybe they seen me on the videos

And they put me in the damage zone

Damn I should have listened

So for now I'm just laying low

Damn I should have listened

[Verse 1]

Cons, what makes you think you are any better than the rest?

If your homies wouldn't flip on you for a check

They try to stick you up for that chain around your neck

Even if they did man there is no disrespect

It's the rules of engagement, you just got engaged

Tryin to rewrite history before they turn the page

But that’s when they turn and aim

Shit you better learn the game

I mean what you thought would happen once you finally got ya stacks up

The same boy who would tell them fools to back up

Is mad as hell when he sees you hold your plaques up

To get them dranks in him (now he wanna act up)

To tell the friend who tell the friend to tell the friend

And since there's strength in numbers, jealousy begins

And it doesn’t matter if it’s true or it's not

These are the Consequences when they say that you’re hot

[Chorus]

Tip tried to tell me but damn I wouldn’t listen

Ye' tried to tell me but man I wouldn’t listen

Damn I should have listened

What would you do if it was you in my position?

Maybe they seen me on the videos

And they put me in the damage zone

Damn I should have listened

So for now I'm just laying low

Damn I should have listened

[Verse 2]

Same old movie being re-enacted

They see me in that Benz coupe now they wanna jack 'em

But before they would have backed em

Now they screamin let me at em

Maybe they seen me on the videos

Or they heard me on the radio

And now they coming at me crazy yo

That’s why I gotta tuck the 80 yo

But how you gonna front on baby bro

Who's trying to go even though you told him take it slow

I guess you seem convinced

That they would put a suit on me like g's to gents

But I'm like a tea-bag when you put me in the corner

I just get stronger when my name's in hot water

So whether is true or not

These are the consequences when they say that you're hot

[Chorus]

Tip tried to tell me but damn I wouldn’t listen

Ye' tried to tell me but man I wouldn’t listen

Damn I should have listened

What would you do if it was you in my position?

Maybe they seen me on the videos

And they put me in the damage zone

Damn I should have listened

So for now I'm just laying low

Damn I should have listened

[Outro]

Everybody told me told me told me told me baby baby

Damn I should have listened

Everybody told me baby everybody told me told me

Damn I should have listened
