Don't Tell Me
The Truth Lyrics

Oh, ho, ask, do not tell
Don't tell me, ask me directly

Ask, do not-, ask, do not-
Don't tell, ask

Ask, do not tell
Stop telling me, start asking me directly

If a bitch wanna know some, ayy
If someone wants to know something

The bitch should've been there, yeah
They should have been present to find out the information firsthand

We tutor niggas deep in here
We teach people in-depth knowledge in this place

Like who finna smoke this square?
Who wants to smoke this cigarette?

AG finna raise the tier
AG is about to bring it to the next level

The two pretty with the long hair
Referring to two attractive people with long hair

Nuts hang like they don't care
Being confident and carefree

So fresh, so new, so rare
New and unique

Got the whole fuckin' city on lock
Having control and dominance over the entire city

Might fuck around and buy the whole block
Possible to purchase and control the entire neighborhood

We make hits, name a nigga this hot
We create popular songs, name someone that's as popular

Better kill me if you want this spot
You'll have to kill me if you want my place at the top

Keep askin' when the tape gon' drop
Stop asking when the album is going to be released

When the shit start soundin' so hard (hard)
When the music gets heavy and serious

You wanna fist that can get on God (God)
You might want to fight someone when they're at their best

Remember that can take it this far (far)
Remember that we can go this far with our music

Up the meds, been in heads
Taking medication and being in people's thoughts

Month and a half, blew the advance
Spent the album advance money in just six weeks

All these pants, I got plans
Having clothing plans

Mtv, makin' the band
Referring to the TV show 'Making the Band' that used to air on MTV

Love it or hate it
Whether you love it or not

Be Rahim, Elohim, he eighteen
Referring to someone named Rahman or Elohim, who is eighteen years old

C'est la vie, you know me
That's life, you know me

So AG bring in the beat, nigga, uh
AG is bringing in the music

Who gon' stop me when I'm on one?
No one can stop me when I'm in the zone

'Member this, when the gold come
Remember this when I become successful

And them platinum plaques sure are frozen
Achieving platinum success and being recognized

Try to leave to be open
Trying to be open-minded and leaving negative people behind

Fuck, I can't stop roastin'
Can't stop making jokes

I just know I'm that nigga
Being confident in one's abilities

Man, I don't want to give the wrong notes to
Not wanting to give bad advice or information

Somebody tell Isaacs turn the bass up
Asking someone to turn up the bass in the audio mix

We about to tear the place up
We're going to give a great performance

If that turn his face up, I'ma smoke his ass like a eighth, bruh
If someone disapproves, there'll be consequences

Half an ounce to the face, bruh
Smoking a lot of marijuana

Runnin' rap like a race, bruh
Being competitive in the rap game

I slide on the beat, like my skates on
Moving smoothly and easily on the music

I hope this one help my case, son
I hope this song helps my reputation

I'm tryna be the best that there ever was
Trying to be the greatest of all time

And I decided that a long time go
Had made that decision long before

But I've been actin' nice, but I don't like you folks
Acting polite, but not liking certain people

I'm too talented to be likeable
Too skilled to need to be liked by everyone

I'm too overbright to be an idol, ho
Being too bright and unique to become a typical idol

I like smokin' weed, I like actin' dumb
Enjoying smoking marijuana and not taking things too seriously

I like talkin' shit, I don't ask for none'
Preferring to talk trash rather than ask for things

I don't owe you none', so don't ask for some
I don't owe you anything, so don't ask for any favors

I'm in the studio for like twenty hours
Spending a lot of time in the recording studio

And I'm skippin' showers, tryna be him
Neglecting hygiene to focus on creating music

Nigga, Young Lord, and with this sword
Referring to oneself as a powerful figure with a weapon

Your God, I can help you meet him
Implying that one's rhymes and flow are godly

Nigga watch how the fuck you treat him
Be careful how you treat that individual

When he speak, boy, you should believe him
Believe what that person says

Might look like I'm dreamin'
May look like it's too good to be true

But I'm on course and I'm speedin'
Headed in the right direction quickly

And if you don't know me well
If you're not familiar with me

Ask, do not tell, just see for yourself
Find out for yourself by asking me directly

I keep to myself it daily, I make it all look easy
Maintaining a low profile and making everything look effortless

Like heaven itself, must not know me well
Must not be familiar with who I am

I know me well, ask, do not tell
I have a good understanding of myself, ask me rather than making assumptions

Uh, I'm in the cut tryna get rich
Trying to make money while being hidden

Couldn't do it, if it was chips
Wouldn't be able to do it if it was easy

Every time they writin' the sun, shit
Every time they write about excellence

I matched your eye, and I guarantee that's the sunken, shit
Agreeing with someone that they're the best at what they do

I matched my mind, that's the parachute that I'm jumpin' with
Matching my thoughts and using them as a safety net

The only way I'm gon' land
The only way I'll be successful

I said, "Fuck your expectations, God be my own man"
Not caring about others' expectations, rather being true to oneself

You can take this like you vacant from me with my own hands
You can take this away from me which I obtained by myself

Nigga, fuck your old plans, they gon' do no old dance
Dismissing old plans and doing something new

It ain't no discussion (discussion)
There's nothing to argue about

I am who I am, it ain't no discussion (discussion)
I am unapologetically myself

Oh man (uh), it's nothin'
This is easy
