Tell It To Me Straight

[Intro]
Yeah
Y’all didn't have to run away
Old friends had to run away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, she had to run away
Oh, he had to run away
Yeah, yeah
But they ain’t gotta run away
No, they ain’t had to run away, ay
Up here, running everything
I’m up here, running everything
Yuh, yuh

[Verse]
Whole team had to run away
I’m still running everything, yeah
I’m here on it, everyday
Up here, running everything, yeah
Had to find some old friends just to have a shoulder to lean on
I’m supposed to be y’all's
I supposed to be on that yеar
I supposed to be on last year
Aftеr every damn word that I put in y'all ear
Putting rest to y’all fears, so y'all'd look in the mirror
Just to lift you up outta' them holes you was in
To put out some music and grow you some skin
Y’all grew it, I knew it, I knew that you did
Booted up, suited up, chewed up and spit
And I’m cool enough 'bout it to cool it and sit
But shit, man
I’m too up to quit
I sat with my wrongs and the due to this shit that y’all on
I’m through with this shit
Like how could y'all sit there absorbing that shit that I’d say
Tryna' mentor your feelings
When I ain’t had shit in return in a minute
I’m telling my feelings about it, one minute
Damn
I’m hitting the ceiling
My mind is my villain and I ain’t been feeling heroic
So I’m just the damsel that lies in the road
And I’m tired of COVID
My paranoia got a mind of its own and -
I'm mindin' my own, yeah
But y’all ain’t had to leave so fast
No, y’all ain’t had to leave, no
Said, y’all ain’t gotta leave so fast
Prolly wasn’t that fast, yo -

[Hook]
Tell it to me straight, don't-don't tell me
Tell it to me straight or just don’t tell me at all, yeah-yeah
Tell it to me straight, don't tell it to me
Tell it to me straight or just don’t tell me at all, yeah-yeah
Tell it to me straight, don't tell it to me
Tell it to me straight or just don’t tell me at all, yeah-yeah
Tell it to me straight, don't tell it to me
Tell me that shit straight or just don't tell me at all

[Outro]
