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
