Why you say yes when you know you mean no?
Then you say you will but you won't
And all you gonna do but you don't
You say that you know but you don't know
I can smell your funk through the window
And i know when you're busy and you're ??
I know you swap a kidney for a stone
Well i saw you swap a kidney for a phone
Well
(na na na na na na na na)
(na na na na na na na na na na na)
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know you mean no?
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know that you know?
Why do you say yeah when you mean no?
I can't even smell the smell through the window
Why do you say you will but you won't?
And if you gotta get out then don't
(rap)
Blast off my talk
She selling candy for rocks
(na na na na na na na na)
(na na na na na na na na na na na)
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know you mean no?
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know that you know?
Snake eyes, foretold
Step to the gate cause we know you're telling lies
Snake eyes, foretold
Step to the gate cause we know you're telling lies
Snake eyes, foretold
Step to the gate cause we know you're telling lies
Snake eyes, foretold
Step to the gate cause we know you're telling lies
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know you mean no?
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know that you know?
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know you mean no?
Why you say yes when you mean no?
Why you say yes when you know that you know?
