Didn’t Ask

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I don’t go outside (No), I been laying low
I just missed the whole summer, now it’s getting colder
People drive me up the wall and so I stay at home
But I'm still checking to see if they call like I was playing poker, ay
Four of clubs, yeah, four of clubs
I don't let 'em in I put boarders up
Like Americans when they voted Trump
Honestly, I like time alone
If you try to hit me up via phone
I’m a leave it ringing like a xylophone
You can leave a message at the dial tone

[Voicemail 1]
"Hey Connor, huh, just wanted to let you know, I checked out the music, uhh
It's good, it's good, but, you know
If you wanna get yourself to the next level you really gotta work on your image, you know
'Cause that's what everyone cares about, you gotta wear cooler clothes
Oh, hey, would you consider dying your hair a different color–"

[Chorus]
Giving your opinion, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me how to act, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me what you think, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me that you don’t like what I’m doing but I didn’t ask

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I don’t want opinions I didn’t ask for
Yeah, now I’m seeing through it like a glass door
Ay, if you wanna learn I’ll teach a crash course
Every time you talking honestly I’m hitting fast-forward
I’m not a clone, I am my own damn person
I feel alive, don’t work with ghosts, I write my own damn verses
I got 'em screaming and running, they fleeing and ducking they cannot believe it
Because they are not even seeing me coming but they feel the footsteps keep thumping behind 'em like–
Told me I should just try singing
'Cause I don’t got the right image
Only diamond that I’m ever buying is the one that’s sitting on my wife’s finger
That's not how we invest
ETF’s over VVS
Till my paper longer than a CVS receipt
That's the key like We The Best
Ask DJ Khaled
Yeah, that cheese stay stacking
Like the Green Bay Packers
I’m gonna need eight Aspirins
And some time alone
If you try to hit me up via phone
I’m a leave it ringing like a xylophone
You can leave a message at the dial tone

[Voicemail 2]
"You really changed, you know that?
Everyone is talking about it and they agree with me
All you care about is yourself, and that girl who’s probably just using you by the way
Stop when you gonna stop being so selfish and get your priorities straight and just grow up–"

[Chorus]
Giving your opinion, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me how to act, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me what you think, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me that you don’t like what I’m doing but I didn’t ask

[Verse 3]
How you tell me what's best for me?
When you ain't never check for me
Try to come into my life now, tell me that I changed, better get going
Nope, I ain’t having that
Not a chance like Acid Rap
Got me charged up, that's a fact
Ain’t seeing eye to eye back to back
Look I get that you think that you’re helping but honestly you just keep making it worse (Yeah)
Trying to make yourself feel better about it by throwing my name in the dirt (Well)
One thing I do know 'bout innocent people who do need feel guilty inside
Is they do not scramble to everyone around them to try and get everyone else on their side (Facts)
But I digress
I don’t like this stress
Gotta focus on what's important to me
Mind my business
So I need time alone
If you try to hit me up via phone
I’m a leave it ringing like a xylophone
You can leave a message at the dial tone

[Voicemail 3]
"You post about your relationship way too much on Instagram"
"Moving to LA isn't a good idea man, just stay in Toronto, don't be stupid"
"Hey, oh my god, you need to meet my friend, he's an actor just like you so you guys can like talk and stuff"

[Chorus]
Giving your opinion, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me how to act, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me what you think, no, I didn’t ask
Tell me that you don’t like what I’m doing but I didn’t ask
