Songtexte Can't Tell Me Nothing - Deecon

We didn't get to talk before you left
I wish we could've
But if we would've
I say
Check it out

It was '01
In the summer
Me and your mother
Was busy in college
One was always at work
The others at class
Created some problem
See
I was the kid from the Chi
That had everybody wondering why
Or how the man in the sky
Would align Kimmie
With such a guy
Knew he was a problem
I admit it
I had some rough edges
But since the day my boy arrived
I never took to be a beggar
Five jobs to provide him his preference
Folded chairs
Up at the Breslin
Cut a lil hair
Sold a lil weed
Kids Foot Locker
Even boot legging
But I noticed
Relations without marriage
Don't make you apparent
Apparently we not working out
Maybe we should live in separate houses
Time for me to have several spouses
Tired of you
Always steady mouthing
Treat me better
How when
C. H. I
Are my favorite letters

Memories fade
Secrets are told
It doesn't matter where I go
I'm reminded that
I'm on my own
Some people fade
Some friendships grow
It doesn't matter who I know
I'm reminded that
I'm all alone

I was shy when we first met
We used to talk til the sun set
It was never about sex
Like it was with the others
Remember when I met your mother
And got a glimpse
Of the sweetness you been leaking
I asked you why you walked
Past your dad
Then you said
You not speaking
We had a talk that night
About how you won't do it again
Cause the place that I'm
Born and bred
We housing everything
Except men
Made a promise
Imma be honest til the end
Help our boy become a man
But you not being here
I ain't trying to understand

Memories fade
Secrets are told
It doesn't matter where I go
I'm reminded that
I'm on my own
Some people fade
Some friendships grow
It doesn't matter who I know
I'm reminded that
I'm all alone

Remember whatever dreams may come
Robin Williams went through hell
Didn't have to say I'd do the same
Cause somehow you could tell
That for you
Not even hell could stop me
If a father who's a preacher
Could hardly
Keep my hands off of your body
I couldn't
Maybe probably
When I see you again
All the pain that I caused
I'll take it back so
We could get along
Can't believe the only way
You're living you life
Is in a song
God gotta know he wrong
He made another mistake
Coulda put someone else in your place
Instead of taking
Your beautiful face

Memories fade
Secrets are told
It doesn't matter where I go
I'm reminded that
I'm on my own
Some people fade
Some friendships grow
It doesn't matter who I know
I'm reminded that
I'm all alone

Memories fade
Secrets are told
It doesn't matter where I go
I'm reminded that
I'm on my own
Some people fade
Some friendships grow
It doesn't matter who I know
I'm reminded that
I'm all alone
