"Tell Me Today" lyrics
This that findin' summer in the wintertime
This that mother callin' you for dinnertime
This that blowup argument in your apartment with your family that almost come to blows but it finish fine
This that lotta shit was better in the simple times
But you came a long way to be this stressed
Hate to be depressed, love to be alive
I'm tryna put my old soul to rest and let the child grow
Slowed it down, it's over now
The pain was then, the hope is now
The poster-child for growth and jokes about how folks' noses face the sky is tasting my aromas now, homie
I never fit into the crowd, now they make crowds for me
If I get too cocky sprinkle lil doubt for me
But there's a lotta weight in a single pound so if you come, don't come around phony
And I don't got no time for tomorrow
Got no blindness to borrow, listen don't you do no frontin' for me
Left the disguises and sorrow, fuck a prize or a follow
Listen, that ain't a discussion to me
I think the bad kinda good too
Sometimes my sad is a good mood
But when I'm down, down, down
You the one I look to
So if you love me please tell me today, yeah
Don't wait for the right time
I don't know how long I can wait, yeah
Ain't a lotta hearts like mine
So if you love me please tell me today, yeah
Don't wait witcho bitchass
As temptations shallow, soliloquies deepen
And I'm finna be peakin'
You know, critically speakin'
And I vow to keep it cordial with the rappers that I burnt, that's umbilically speaking
They could all get cut though so I wouldn't try yours cause we don't all get luck tho
Artilleries deepen but once it was just jaws get snuffed and ain't no fair ones in America anyway son, we all get fucked
If you lucky then it's only your mind
Don't get me wrong, the spoils is plentiful
But for oil and revenue, warriors and generals toil for men who do bidding for men who do bidding for men who do sitting atop of these corporate investment groups who love when you log in and believe everything that you read written with misled pencils convention be accept degree credentials be how much oppression we can sustain for gain
In the turmoil turn to empathy
But who am I? I'm just lil' ol' rapper me
I was the young king of the "well, actually..."
Well actually, shit, still that is me
I had a head start so don't you feel bad for me
Depressed long before 18 so what am I to do now that sad's gone mainstream?
I guess that I'll just mac wit a brew and let the sun hit my face through the glass in my room
And I don't got no time for tomorrow
Got no blindness to borrow, listen don't you do no frontin' for me
Left the disguises and sorrow, fuck a prize or a follow
Listen, that ain't a discussion to me
I think the bad kinda good too
Sometimes my sad is a good mood
But when I'm down, down, down
You the one I look to
So if you love me please tell me today, yeah
Don't wait for the right time
I don't know how long I can wait, yeah
Ain't a lotta hearts like mine
So if you love me please tell me today, yeah
