Joe Budden - Do Tell Lyrics:
Tell my mother I`m sorry, I never meant to hurt her
And even when I did I never meant to take it further
Tell my father I love him, dot dot etcetera
He used to give me advice like a plethora

I tried to find myself but I was your replica
I mean I only tried to be what you never was
Tell my older brother, I`m bad at bein` a brother
I know I never told you just how highly I think of ya

Tell my grandmother, she always been a friend to me
I would have visited more if I wasn`t into me
Tell Trey I think his mother is an asshole
When you get older you might understand how that goes

Tell the hood I left, not for greed or wealth
I did it for my own sanity and keep my health
I tried to bring a few with me, hopin` we could cash in
But all they said is that I ain`t do it in a timely fashion

Tell music she saved me when s**t was adverse
My first love I give my life so she can have hers
Tell my friends, each one, they taught me how to be one
I owe them part of everythin` I`ve become

Tell fame I ain`t want it, nah I`ll keep it a hunnid
I try my best to go and get it but the ni**a fronted
So I lie dormant, livin` through torment
Tell cops I`ve got warrants, I don`t warrant

Tell the therapist, look I never thought I`d get here
Somebody ask love why she ain`t wanna live here
So in its place is a lot of pride
Anybody thinkin` they know me, I apologize

Grandpa is eighty plus still bein` strong
Tell the fake ni**as, keep on keepin` on
Faithfully tell anybody who hated me
Hastily, all it ever did was motivated me

They say I`m difficult, so to put it simply
Tell the world I never cared it was against me
Tell God to be there in case I fall
Tell the fans I never gypped `em, I always gave them my all

Tell my girl she put me through it
But if I had to go through it with anybody, I`m thankful it`s her
Tell every member of my family
For too long I hid behind my own insanity and got me caught up

And then somebody tell currency I chased him to the death
I thought I`d catch the ni**a until I ran out of breath
Tell my bruises, I`m fine, I`m good, I normally heal quick
Tell the rain come down, I need to feel it

I told a ni**a give me a hand but he wouldn`t
I kept tellin` myself I can`t until I couldn`t
If ni**a`s wanna kill me tell `em I already died
Tell anybody that will listen I tried

`Til the water ran dry
Tell the water to get the f**k out my eyes
Tell the crust, it tastes great but I much rather the pie
Ask success what I gotta do to succeed

Then tell my twin brothers I look at `em like my seeds
Y`all will be the mouths I feed
If a ni**a ever tell me how to rid myself of some of this greed
I tell them that I`m grown, really I ain`t finish growin`

Look, tell failure I ain`t wanna get to know him
Tell the stick up kids to come and get me
Tell the stereotypes, look I tried them s**ts on, they didn`t fit me
Tell whoever I wronged I apologize
They tell me though it`s bumps in the road, still I gotta ride

They tell me I got a lot of pride
I tell them how the f**k you gon` tell me what I got inside
Then they wanna lecture a ni**a
Tell me life is what you make it
That when I tell them I beg to differ
