Tell ’Em That
[Intro]
Yeah
Ryan Caraveo
Yeah

[Verse 1]
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 fye
And if I die today, I'm certain that these words survive
Standing at this party with these girls who only here 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
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 twenty grand
That is, until the underdog 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 sentinel, 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 you yo's
Like I'm trying to get me mine, but you need to get in line
Yeah
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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, and 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 knocked politely, now I’m finna 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 think 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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Never gave a damn, probably never will
That's the way I am, you just gotta deal
You don't fill my tank, you don't pay my bills
You don't suck my-, you don't cook my meals
Never gave a damn, probably never will
That's the way I am, you just gotta deal
You don't fill my tank, you don't pay my bills
You don't suck my-, you don't cook my meals
You can tell 'em that, yeah, aye, aye
Aye, you can tell 'em that, aye, aye
Aye, you can tell 'em that, aye, aye
Aye, you can tell 'em that, you can tell 'em that-that-that
I'm gone
