John Reuben Album: Are We There Yet? Track: Do Not
Do Not Lyrics
Do not tell me what I can and cannot do when I rock (wait, hold up, this is my favorite part) Do not tell me what I can and cannot do when I rock Do not tell me what I can and cannot do when I rock
(you know what man? you pay five bucks to come in here To just stand in the back and act like youre too "hard" to Enjoy yourself! Well actually I didn't have to pay)
To each his own correctin don't select my flavor While see them in the back critiquin' my behavior now Tryin' to take creation and me to fit his mold He yelled out sellout but maybe he wasn't told So let me tell this shallow mind why we do what we do I create for the creator but not to impress you ok I'll challenge your thinkin' but not to test you You might not like me, I'll still say "God bless you" And address the issue, it's all love n' respect And honestly bro I don't think that 's too much to expect But too many times your shallow mind will keep you caught You can't escape your thinkin' all you've ever been taught Is that you walk this way You talk this way You front this way You pose this way You react this way Na, na that ain't me I got to be who God created me to be
SemiChorus:do not tell me what I can and cannot do when I rock
Why is it as humans we cling on to only what we know Never expanding and stepping out our comfort zone (uhhh) We walk alone and then roam in ignorance Then turn back around and use it as a defense For shallowness this seems to be a concern Cuz not knowin' is an excuse for those who willin' to learn
Alright I need all people in the front to the back, The back to the front, Lets get down, we gon do it like this
Chorus:do not tell me what I can and cannot do when I rock Original material my crew nonstop We're keepin' it fly we'll turn it out Ya'll feelin' some of that? no doubt!
Do not stereotype the individual Cuz what you hear in your stereo is not the typical Steretypes get broken now when I'm provokin' New levels of thought so leave the shallow minds open Cats approachin' me without no lack or no clue I understand though bro, see someone's been training you To think like you think and act like you do Its' getting old not like it should have ever been new But as long as shallowness exists I shall persist To rip apart the whole structure and expose the nucleus Shallowness exists I shall persist to rip Apart the whole structure and expose it for what it is
Lack of understanding lack of communication Lack of a desire for expanding education Lack of inspiration lack of innovation The fact you can't respect another mans creation Lack of motiviation lack of restoration The fact we lack unity and enjoy separation Lack of destination because you know what I feel I feel that humans lack the ability to be real Yes yes yessss yesssss yessss yesssss!!!! (Chorus 'till fade)
