lyrics
[Intro]
...the type of songs to make you feel a type of way /
...that triggers emotions whenever….
[Verse I]
You better not do it, you better not even stress /
It ain’t no point to try and press when no one truly wants you there /
You better not lose it, you better keep it to yourself /
Don’t show it to no one else, journal these thoughts to yourself /
You better not publish, I know you journal on Wordpress, but you see /
How this all can end when you let emotions go and post to /
Make feelings public, you better not issue a response, you see her /
Friends in your DMs tryna shoot you the fair one, you better /
Not approach your homie, best to put it in a song and act like /
There ain’t nothin’ wrong and move along, you better not show any /
Type of sensitivity to pain in general, you bet not /
Tell you’re having thoughts again to end it, pitiful, you better /
Not go buy that pistol claiming it’s for self-defense without /
Admitting that it’s you you’re tryna put defense against, you better /
Not start being tactful just to put precautions in, you got too /
Many people that have to depend…
[Hook]
That’s what I get for taking my own advice I guess (x2)
[Verse II]
You better not blow it, you better not miss your chance /
You better not overcharge on merch and disconnect with fans /
You better not send that DM and ask Facts what he thought /
He ain’t hit you since you stopped posting his music to these blogs /
You better not take those shots, you the designated driver, yeah your /
Friends can have a couple but you’re wiser, and you better not /
Forget it either, you better not second-guess yourself or else /
Better stop asking and get it for yourself /
You better stop using samples ‘fore they sue, like “who are you?” /
You better copyright that logo ‘fore someone abuses you, you better /
Find your joy, you better plan or ploy an idea to /
Get noticed without letting these people use you /
You better get famous before your parents leave this Earth /
You better grind until ain’t no more breath in you, leave it all out on the /
Floor in aspirations for more just to motivate the /
Scores of creatives coming behind you, I swear you better… /
[Hook]
[Verse III]
You better not go to that kickback, you better have a good reason for /
Not throwing that shot back, you better hop out that car and act like /
Everything is fine, you better fix your face and fall in line /
You with the homie, ain’t no time for second-guessing, it’s ok /
You better stop ignoring that phone call from bae, she been /
Blowing you up like all day, you better tell the homie /
That you need a second ‘fore you step out of the house /
Better not argue and forget what the convo was about /
You better not storm back in and see the beginning of the scene /
You better not answer that call or get distracted by a scream /
You better not look, you better rush over to homie’s side /
As arguments intensified and you witnessed with your own eyes /
That nigga brandishing his weapon...you better catch homie falling, you /
Better keep him alive, you, better call 911, you better /
Hope in for that ambulance ride, though you are numb, you better not /
Cry when you realize what indecisiveness had done, you better /
Play it over and over and over inside of your mind /
You better wish that you would’ve grabbed his gun that fell out /
When he died, you better try to apologize to mom /
And take the blame although you were a tagalong, you better…
[Bridge]
...the type of songs to make you feel a type of way /
That triggers emotions whenever you press play /
Semblance of ocean waves that impacts like a freight /
The type that sticks with you, the type that forces the issue…
[Verse IV]
You better not admit that P.T.S.D has got a grip /
You better not slip, you can’t succumb to survivor’s guilt /
You better call Melvin, you better tell him that you care and that if /
No one else is there then you’ll be there, better stop /
Overdrafting your account like it’s fine, you better title /
You better give this all to God and stop taking your own advice /
You better focus.
