Tell' Em That

Ryan Caraveo

Knew i was certified before anyone heard of i

I kept my tunnel vision when they said diversify

Cause i knew that every verse is fy

And if i die today i’m certain that these words survive

Standing at this party with these girls

Who only hear because of certain ties

Black hoodie cause they told me it was shirt and tie

I see these fake tens, swear to god they worse than fives

I’m telling half truths i swear to god they worse than lies

Material girls i swear i’ll never understand

Silky skin made of plastic all they want is rubber bands

Twenty dollar hoes acting like they’re twenty grand

That is until the under dog gets the upper hand

Word to the motherland i’ll take the crew to mexico

AM to the PM smoking texaco

I ain’t gassing you this a confessional

You ain’t gotta like it just respect it though

They neglected him now he collecting dough

Posted like a sentinal

But on a sentimental mental note

I still love you if you friend or foe

I can comprehend that

You just out here trying to get your yo’s

Like i’m trying to get me mine

But you need to get in line yeah

I don't care what they say no

I'm not even concerned

Please believe your handout ain't something that i need no

Everything i get i earn

You can tell 'em that

I don't care what they say no

I'm not even concerned

Please believe your handout ain't something that i need no

Everything i get i earn

You can tell 'em that

And i’m the dude they sort of mention

They came to see the starters i was sitting towards the benches

They let me up to bat i started swinging towards the fences

Now i got it in i’m running with it like it’s fourth and inches

They didn’t support me then so

This is a form of vengeance

I knock politely now i’m fit to rip the door from hinges

I travel new places

I keep my normal friendships

Cause new attention brings rich people with poor intentions

Man this is who i really am

Not who i try to be

Making it look easy cause i do it so methodically

Funny that you thinkt i gave a fuck what you thought of me

Just keep that shit to yourself like a hot commodity

I work around the clock

Only kick it periodically

Them lazy boys still blaming the economy

They said the odds of making it was like playing lottery

And now they watching me

Turning possible to possibly

I don't care what they say no

I'm not even concerned

Please believe your handout ain't something that i need no

Everything i get i earn

You can tell 'em that

I don't care what they say no

I'm not even concerned

Please believe your handout ain't something that i need no

Everything i get i earn

You can tell 'em that

I don't give a damn

Probably never will

That's the way i am

You just got to deal

You don't feel my tank

You don't pay my bills

You don't suck my

You don't cook my mills

Never gave a damn

Probably never will

That's the way i am

You just got to deal

You don't feel my tank

You don't pay my bills

You don't suck my

You don't cook my mills

You can tell 'em that

You can tell 'em that

You can tell 'em that

You can tell 'em that

You can tell 'em that
