[Verse 1]

Tell those stories to me

I'm dying to hear

The things you've done and seen

Farfetched as they may be

You strike a smile at me

Your stories ring of purgery

Construed with self-empowering theme

[Chorus]

Suckin' on my brain

You're the teacher, I'm the student

Turning things around

Your story's not congruent

Tabloids, decoys, pitiful excuses

Turning things around

You're turnin' things around

Go!

Ay Ay

[Verse 2]

A manic stunning scene

I'm taking notes

You're taking me away

Into your false reality

I know your comfort lies

In lying to try

To make your life make sense

But you're not making sense

With your two cents

You're

[Chorus]

Suckin' on my brain

You're the teacher, I'm the student

Turning things around

Your story's not congruent

Tabloids, decoys, pitiful excuses

Turnin' things around

You're turnin' things around

[Bridge]

Oo

I'd say it aloud, but I'm not allowed (Oo, oo-oo)

I see your head spin round and round

[Verse 3]

Broken record talk tonight

Skip that needle

Back and forth on your mind

Wearin' out unconvincing lies

Like a seedling dropped from an old oak tree

Your shade don't hide no sun from me

Fake stories humor me

It's graduation time

I love you like a mother

[Chorus]

Suckin' on my brain

You're the teacher, I'm the student

Turning things around

Your story's not congruent

Tabloids, decoys, pitiful excuses

Turnin' things around

You're turnin' things around

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(You turn things around)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(You're suckin' on my brain)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(You're turnin' things around)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
