Grab me another beer
Says you should call in sick
That career you should just quit
Last time I checked my rent that shit Ain't free
My 97 jeep needs gasoline
The trees in my backyard don't grow Money
I don't speak trust fund
Tell your dad I said hey
Love that house in the hills behind Gates that he bought you last may
Rack up that black card
It's your mama's birthday
Oh you know she won't wear it Unless every piece is Hermes
Look up spoiled and rich in the Dictionary
It was your face I saw staring right Back at me
No you don't have to work you don't need a degree everything that you want you just get it for free
Don't speak trust fund
Ciao arrivederci
I don't speak trust fund
But I'm doing okay
You sleep in late from last night
I'm up working 5 to 5
Get your breakfast served in bed
Imma count my tips instead, oh
Last time I checked my rent that shit ain't free
My 97 jeep needs gasoline
The trees in my backyard don't grow money
Advice from me this life ain't free
My college debt it follows me around
Was raised to be a hustler in this town
There's no amount of doubt that could slow me down
Advice from me this life ain't free
I don't speak trust fund
Tell your dad I said hey
Love that house in the hills behind gates that he bought you last may
Rack up that black card
It's your mama's birthday
Oh you know She won't wear it unless every piece is Hermes
Look up spoiled and rich in the Dictionary
It was your face I saw staring right back at me
No you don't have to work you don't need a degree everything that you want you just get it for free
Don't speak trust fund
Ciao arrivederci
I don't speak trust fund
But I'm doing okay
Yea she so independent
I find it beautiful
Girl I ain't nothing like them guys that's you used to know
You know the usual
They can't handle you
You're just different and that's what makes us compatible
I came from nothing you told me that you would grow with me
Back then I'd show up at a show they wouldn't notice me
All them free shows had my pockets weak
But now I'm getting to the point where I can't show for free
I ain't ever been a boy for the background
When I see you in the crowd girl you know you stand out
I don't speak trust fund I got my plans now
You could never catch me asking for no handouts
Look up spoiled and rich in the Dictionary
It was your face I saw staring right back at me
No you don't have to work you don't need a degree everything that you want you just get it for free
Don't speak trust fund
Ciao arrivederci
I don't speak trust fund
No I don't speak, no I don't speak Trust Fund
These lyrics from Alexi Blue's song "Don't" convey a strong message about the contrast between someone who has worked hard for their success and someone who seems to have everything handed to them. The song starts with the singer being urged by someone to call in sick and quit their job, insinuating that they have a privileged background and do not understand the value of hard work. The mention of materialistic possessions like a 97 Jeep, rent, and gasoline highlights the financial responsibilities the singer faces and contrasts with the carefree attitude of the other person.
The songwriter uses vivid imagery to depict the extravagance of the other person's lifestyle, such as their parent buying them a house and using a black card for extravagant purchases. The reference to Hermes, a luxury brand, further emphasizes the lavishness and excess of the other individual's life. The repeated refrain of "I don't speak trust fund" signifies the singer's frustration with the entitlement and lack of understanding from the privileged person.
In contrast, the singer emphasizes their own hard work ethic and struggles, mentioning college debt and being raised to hustle in their town. They pride themselves on being self-sufficient and independent, in contrast to the reliance on family wealth displayed by the other person. The lyrics reflect a sense of determination and resilience in the face of challenges, highlighting the singer's perseverance and refusal to rely on handouts.
The final verses express admiration for the singer's independence and different approach to life, indicating a deep connection and appreciation for their partner's character. The mention of coming from humble beginnings and working hard to achieve success further reinforces the theme of earning one's accomplishments through effort and dedication. The song concludes with a firm declaration that the singer does not adhere to the privileged mentality of a trust fund lifestyle and is proud of their own journey to success.

Goodbye
I don't speak trust fund But I'm doing okay
I may not know about trust funds, but I'm managing fine
You sleep in late from last night
You're sleeping in because of last night
I'm up working 5 to 5
I'm busy working long hours
Get your breakfast served in bed
You receive breakfast delivered to your bed
Imma count my tips instead, oh
I'll focus on counting my earnings, oh
My college debt it follows me around
I'm burdened by my student loan
Was raised to be a hustler in this town
I was brought up to be a hard worker in this city
There's no amount of doubt that could slow me down
I won't let any uncertainty hinder me
Yea she so independent
Yes, she is very self-sufficient
I find it beautiful
I see it as admirable
Girl I ain't nothing like them guys that's you used to know
I'm different from the guys you're familiar with
You know the usual
You're aware of the typical behavior
They can't handle you
They can't deal with your ways
You're just different and that's what makes us compatible
Our unique qualities make us a good match
I came from nothing you told me that you would grow with me
I had humble beginnings, and you said you'd develop alongside me
Back then I'd show up at a show they wouldn't notice me
In the past, I'd attend events without being recognized
All them free shows had my pockets weak
Attending free events drained my finances
But now I'm getting to the point where I can't show for free
Now I'm at a stage where attending for free isn't feasible
I ain't ever been a boy for the background
I've never been one to fade into the background
When I see you in the crowd girl you know you stand out
You truly catch my eye in the crowd
I got my plans now
I have my own goals now
You could never catch me asking for no handouts
I would never expect or request free assistance
