Do Not

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 this trust 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

they 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

stereoypes 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 assist

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)
