Tell'em Like It Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fry my chicken and pour my rum
Wash my crack up and load my gun
Hold me now when I'm feeling low
But don't fuck with my money, no
Spend my cash
Don't ask where it came from
Tell my mother I'm respectable
Wash my clothes and clean my house
Don't say shit, just hold your mouth
Tell'em like it is, yeah
Just tell'em like it is
Just tell'em like it is
Just tell'em like it is yeah
Only speak when you're spoken to
Tell your mother the same
Tell your sister better watch her mouth
Cuz I ain't the one to blame
Keep your hair and your nails looking fine
Don't dress like no hoe
Don't be talking to any other guys
Keep them titties on show
Baby tell'em how it is, yeah
Tell'em like it is
Tell'em like it is
Just tell'em like it is
Where's my chicken and where's my rum?
Where's my rocks and my loaded gun?
Where's my loving when I was low?
You was fucking with my money, yo
You been out on the time with them guys
Dressed up like some hoe
Have to find me another bitch
I can trust with my dough
Just tell'em like it is
Tell'em
Just tell'em like it is, yeah yeah
Yeah, tell'em like it is
