"Tell Me Why" lyrics

Ayy, Nick, turn me up
Before you go and judge me
Understand where I'm comin' from
Before you come and try me
My past the only thing I'm runnin' from
I come from the dirty
Before you come and judge me
Know I'm in too deep
I'm in too deep
([?] made it so you know it's uh)

I'm only mad at myself, how they fuck me over (How they fuck me over)
You know I'm battlin', I ain't got shit, act like they don't know it (Act like they don't know it)
I feel the fans movin' in and they movin' closer
I'm holdin' everythin' in, I let it out when you hold me (When you hold me)
If you could see these burnin' walls, I'll tell you why (I'll tell you why)
And you my biggest downfall, sometimes, I don't know why I try (Don't know why I try)
At least when they say they feel my pain, you know, I know they lyin' (They lyin')
Sat on the roadside, sign in my hands, I'm dyin' and they just passin' by (They just passin' by)
I'm playin' the keys to my melodies 'til my heart stop beatin' ('Til my heart stop beatin')
I'm on my knees, I'm beggin' her please, I watched her walk out and leave

Even though you scared me, I ain't plannin' to get even (I didn't)
Unconditional love, didn't wanna stand and mean it
I was way before my time in elementary (In elementary)
I was a dog in a ken' with famous pedigree
Why should I give 'em my all? They just gon' fuck me over
I lay my hood shit on the ground and they just ran it over
And I don't need you givin' me reassurance, I just need some closure
Live for the day, my daughter, mama still livin' in the moment
I'm stackin' up my cheese and perfectin' my craft
I'm givin' all I can give, I'm not tryin' to half-ass it
You do so good on your own, then why you tryna act bad?
Tryna manipulate my intelligence and that shit won't last, long
I ain't tryna bull no ride with you, I really ride alone (I really ride alone)
Before I let you see me weak again, I really ride on my own

I'm only mad at myself, how they fuck me over (How they fuck me over)
You know I'm battlin', I ain't got shit, act like they don't know it (Act like they don't know it)
I feel the fans movin' in and they movin' closer
I'm holdin' everythin' in, I let it out when you hold me (When you hold me)
Yeah, if you could see these burnin' walls, I'll tell you why (I'll tell you why)
And you my biggest downfall, sometimes, I don't know why I try (Don't know why I try)
At least when they say they feel my pain, you know, I know they lyin' (They lyin')
Sat on the roadside, sign in my hands, I'm dyin' and they just passin' by (They just passin' by)
I'm playin' the keys to my melodies 'til my heart stop beatin' ('Til my heart stop beatin')
I'm on my knees, I'm beggin' her please, I watched her walk out and leave

I watched her walk out and leave
I watched her walk out and leave
I'm playin' the keys to my melodies
'Til my heart stop beatin'
