Текст песни No - Jackson Whalan

Why is it so hard
To say no

I'm saying no to everything that ain't bringing me anything
Can you just
No
Please just
No
I really think you'd be a great fit for my
No
I'm looking for someone who can temporarily help me with
No
Why not I've got plenty of money as you can see
But I'd really like you to make me a beat for free
No
Please
Are you interested in my promotional package
For one hundred percent real organic traction?
No

I need some space cuz I'm decorating time
I'm saying no to everything that's not letting me rhyme
Put my money where my music is
Look how much it's taking me
Working in restaurants mowing lawns even a bakery
Moving books for a book store the kitchen that I cooked for
Biking through Brooklyn with a bag of buddha to your front door
Engineering sound feels like everybody playing me
Eight hour shifts and no more gas in the tank for me
To be the artist I am and do what's necessary
Cuz I ain't cool watching Netflix and being sedentary
Sitting on the dock of the bay watching opportunities pass
While I saw my friends blowing up fast
And that's when people's wins had me feeling depressed
When they posted on the gram all I saw was success
Playing huge shows and getting mad press
But I've got to confess it's hard not to say yes to that

I'm saying no to everything that ain't bringing me anything
Can you just
No
Please just
No
I know your really busy but I just need you to
No
It's not really paid but you'll get some exposure
No
Just do it
I was thinking instead of money we could do an energy exchange
Um no
Come on
You're really talented but it's going to be really hard for you
And I think you should stop
No

I've messed up my whole life just from saying yes
Never though that being nice would cause so much stress
I want to be working on my dream instead of petty things
Sacrificing my passion I'm clashing with what your pressure brings
I'm taking side jobs that don't even make sense for me
It's like you're trying to chase me from the destiny that's meant for me
I'll quit eventually and rap til they remember me
Let the world know that I'm the illest of the century cuz
I know you know no one knows how to say no
And a lot of people texting me to see what they can get from me
I'll walk away and let it be hone these rhymes incredibly
Fakers trying to show respect retrospectively essentially
Now I'm saying no impeccably don't be testing me
And if you're trying to be hard I'll pull your SD card
Wiping out your memory
Cuz I think you forgot I'm in the studio writing rhymes incessantly

I'm saying no to everything that ain't bringing me anything
No
