Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't gimmie no mo'
You won't gimmie no mo'
You won't gimmie no mo'
You won't
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
How come people all act the same
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
I've been coming up for a while on ya radar
I know I made it jus' by counting up my haters
I got a speed boat get away like later
You betta have a lotta cheddar if you don't got data
Coz you can live it up, pull it up, start reeling
Start throwing hands up like you're mad at the ceiling
You could make a killin' but don't forget the feeling
People stealin' money and down with double-dealin'
You won't gimmie no mo'
You won't gimmie no mo'
You won't
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
You can take me courthouse
You can take me jail
You can take me anywhere
But you can't get me there
You can ask me where I'm going and I'll tell you crazy
But when I get to where I'm going you should come with me
You've be staying up, pull me up start reeling
I'm throwing up my hands like I'm mad at the ceiling
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
I got roof on my head
I got food in my pot
And the old ways are dead with the new ones we got
There's water in my pot
And I'm half and half not
And the old kind is broke with the new kind we bought
I drink alcohol
Know the words to Wonderwall
I rewrite the code
While I do my time on road
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same
The lyrics to M&M Ft. Rachel Wallace's song "Tell Me Why" seem to be an introspective exploration of the human condition. The repeated phrase "You won't gimme no mo'" may be a reference to a loss or rejection that the singer has experienced, prompting them to question the nature of life and human behavior. The first verse reflects on the singer's rise to success and the cynicism that comes with it, suggesting that people are willing to deceive and hurt others for personal gain. The second verse seems to reject societal expectations and norms, with the line "You can ask me where I'm going and I'll tell you crazy" indicating a desire for personal freedom and authenticity.
The chorus, "Tell me why, things change but it feels the same, if life is such a game, how come people all act the same?" poses a powerful existential question about the meaning of life and the choices we make. The song acknowledges that change is inevitable but also laments the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of sameness, with people behaving in predictable and often harmful ways. The final verse seems to suggest that progress and evolution are possible, with the singer celebrating personal growth and innovation in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Tell Me Why" is a thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to question the status quo and strive for personal authenticity.
