Don't tell me how!

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real (8x)

 

I said, don't tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to fuckin feel

gotta keep my heart stronger than steel

just to suppress that which I feel

don't tell me how to keep it real

I promise, you'll never see me kneel

gotta give my soul t-t-t-time to heal

leave me alone to eat my meal

 

most of... these other rappers are under my heel

seems today, that no one can keep it real

so sad to sit and watch them all squeal

now you all know how I feel...

let the real story be revealed

now we will know who is the root of all evil

is it me, myself and I? feels so unreal

guess my demons have made the deal....

 

(Wait 4 seconds, till beat kicks in)

 

got these voices inside of my fuckin head

there is so much that has been left unsaid

my inside feels so cold, lonely and dead

I'm so mentally lost, what the fuck am I suppose to do

what is a single man to do?

who is more sick than the god damn flu...

 

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real (4x)

 

lo and behold

now that the story has been told

the answers are left to unfold

a snap back to reality as quick as a jolt

the future seems brighter than a thunder bolt...

 

a perspective on reality

has really taken a toll out on me

slices through the mind harder than a machete

make a nigga head feel heavy and shitty

maybe made him feel just a little bit silly

or maybe just a little bit witty...

 

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real (4x)

 

"There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in

Tennessee, it say's 'fool me once..... shame on... shame on you'... ya

fool me, ya can't get fooled again."

 

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real (2x)

 

I said, don't tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to fuckin feel

gotta keep my heart stronger than steel

just to suppress that which I feel

don't tell me how to keep it real

I promise, you'll never see me kneel

gotta give my soul t-t-t-time to heal

leave me alone to eat my meal

 

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real

 

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real...

 

Don't you tell me how to fuckin feel

don't tell me how to keep it real (12x)
