[Verse 1] Lying cause you don't wanna fight, not tonight So we both keep smiling And a blog attitude to our lives Guess we'll both die trying Yeah yeah yeah yeah Seen a different world up close Living through a dream I write I'm gon' make mistakes, I know But I'll never ever change my coast [Chorus] Tell me what I wanna hear Cause the truth don't feel to good Tell it to me nice and clear So I'm not misunderstood [?] [Verse 2] As I drop my little two cents I know this just a business that my pa**ion gets confused with My pimping part of the problem but motherf** a solution Make the money in Oxford then probably blow it in Houston n***as paying for p**y but taxing for whack verses I audit the competition like something done come up missing Fingers just started itching, lotion can barely fix it Throw money at me, I catch it Don't worry 'bout how to pitch it I'm gifted, but you knew that from the beginning, huh? Statements at home but I'm grown so I'm getting by Even eating soul food like it's '95 Feel it's do or die Cause the man with the most to offer is often the overlooked Spent days at the library, now I'm often overbooked No juking inside my movements, but haters is often shook These women is fishing for ballers but, baby, I'm off the hook Aware of my social status like whites aware of my blackness Slaving to get a piece, tell master to kiss my a** is too perfect Avoiding practice, but my OG told me "Work" So I'mma hold it down like I'm drowning what I'm worth I put in work [Chorus] Tell me what I wanna hear Cause the truth don't feel to good Tell it to me nice and clear So I'm not misunderstood [Verse 3] Sometimes the truth hurts but I know it make you better I ain't giving you a lecture, but these words will live forever Usually I wouldn't rap this, but feel it more than ever When my fam give me advice, but I just treat it like whatever I came up clueless, so it's hard to understand me I'm the type to trade a Grammy for some more time with my family I'm lying, LA nice, hit the bed like Dodgers might Moving on up since the flow is dynamite, doing fine At least that's what you tell me Sweet the sound of ignorance, ignoring pain to help me I trust you like my brother, dawg But love it when the curtains drawn So keep your truce stuck in its tracks You defy the smoke and mirrors, threw that monkey on my back I've been going ape sh** for complacence I became sick, when I die, ill Hospice where I chill, get a number to myself Tell me what I wanna hear [Chorus] Tell me what I wanna hear Cause the truth don't feel to good Tell it to me nice and clear So I'm not misunderstood
