[Intro: Jim Jones]

"You’re not free with your Cadillac! You’re doing just exactly what the Man wants you to do: Buy his goods, so you’ll never have any real economic freedom. He wants you to buy everything he—he advertises on TV, so he’ll keep you perpetually owing your soul to the company store. You’re not free, you’re a slave—!"


[Chorus: Merlyn Wood]

Gimme no drugs, lend me some love

Tonight, while I'm in this club

Lonely as fuck, with my thugs

And we looking for that buzz

Gimme no drugs, lend me some love

Tonight, while I'm in this club

Lonely as fuck, with my thugs

And we looking for that buzz


[Verse 1: Joba]

What's with these superficial people from my past?

Dancin' 'round the fact that I did everything the motherfuckers bet against

They be like, "Gather 'round, place your bets!

This young man won't ever be shit!"

Well, my bad, I guess I just pursued this shit

While you chose to settle down to have some kids

I mean, it's okay to fall in line, just don't look back

That's a long-ass line that I'm not in

I just never found the time, or had the chance

Truth is, you can kiss my ass

Never been the one to bow down

Never been the one to air out any situation, but right now

When it's all your fault, I'm here now


[Chorus: Merlyn Wood]

Gimme no drugs, lend me some love

Tonight, while I'm in this club

Lonely as fuck, with my thugs

And we looking for that buzz

Gimme no drugs, lend me some love

Tonight, while I'm in this club

Lonely as fuck, with my thugs

And we looking for that buzz


[Refrain: Kevin Abstract]

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't


[Verse 2: Matt Champion]

Thrift like a five hundred discount

I move it, I move it like Madagascar

Flip it like eightball to inside of nose, it get raw

Bloody leaf color like fall

Well you recall that they said I'll be nothing

Well, suck on my dick and then lick on my balls

They try to pin me down, they try to bind me

And they try to kill me like Anna Nicole

Th—th—they want to boot up my car

Pussy boy like booty call

Money quick like auctioneer

Look what we did in a year

You need a neutral career

I hate on myself when I look in the mirror

Piddling voices all up in my ear

Why do I care how I look?

Why do I care what they say?

I do not care what they say


[Verse 3: Dom McLennon]

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk (Niggas talk too much)

They forgot how to listen (Listen, huh)

'Til the prophets arisen

We mix New Edition with nuclear fission

I don't do auditions, I don't ask permission

Ain't no politician, don't ask my opinion

You got an addiction to what ain't your business

Make the admission, I make like magicians and hit my Houdini

Why they so soft like linguine? I murder this music routinely

I know that you see me, don't see you searching the meaning

I think that’s why you won't believe and the future is leaning

Revolutions started streaming

The reason why you see me beaming

I'm dreaming of making moves like the government

You better think about who you fucking with and get back


[Refrain: Kevin Abstract]

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't

Don't talk back, don't talk back, boy, don't


[Bridge: bearface & Dijon]

(Freak, ah, ah) Oh, your love

Won't you come this close to me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Be with me now that you're free (Free, free)

Oh yeah (Yeah)

Won't you come this close to me, baby?

Baby, yeah (Yeah)


[Outro: Kevin Abstract]

And if I could erase who you thought I was

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And if I could erase who you thought I was

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
