[Verse 1]
Find that boomin' on that bass
Shake my head for a connection
Polly pocket on my brace
Everything is a projection
[Hook]
Don't tell me I'm not okay
Don't tell me I'm not okay
[Verse 2]

[Hook]
Don't tell me I'm not okay
Don't tell me I'm not okay
[Bridge]

Getting high off expectations (don't tell)
Getting high off expectations (don't tell)
Getting high off expectations
[Outro]
Don't tell me I'm not okay
Don't tell me I'm not okay
