[Hook: Ruslan]
They told me that I shouldn't try to rap smart
'Cuz that may not resonate with the fans well
I told 'em, "I ain't tryna' sound Vanguard and I don't care if they can understand the brand well"
But I can tell, that they don't know, I don't wanna keep up with the Joneses
They don't know, they don't know
I don't really understand what no is
[Verse 1: Ruslan]
Who are they, where are they?
Where they from, where they stay?
Why they say, all the things they say?
Always keep throwin' shade
Why they care so much about what I do on my free time?
Why they don't wanna see me up, but love to see me be high?
E.I. Andele, andele, when they fumble it
Brother, they gotta treat these boys like they all my mijas
Why they always tryna sell me something from matias?
Why don't they be ever gettin' stung by the beehive?
I scream it from the tree tops, and say today
I'm just here, so I don't get fined by the league or the seahawks
Basketball with knee socks, they don't wanna see me healthy
But they love to see me sip some rock, only time that they felt me
Is when I was sauced, had me feelin' like maybe I'm really fallen off
The devil is a liar though, when you're lookin' for higher hope
When synergy, maybe they ain't really who they say
'Cuz, the real enemy I have is the inner me
[Hook: Ruslan]
They don't know, they don't know
I don't wanna keep up with the Joneses
They don't know, they don't know
I don't really understand what no is
They don't know, they don't know
I don't wanna keep up with the Joneses
They don't know, they don't know
I don't really understand what no is
They told me that I shouldn't try to rap smart
'Cuz that may not resonate with the fans well
I told 'em, "I ain't tryna' sound Vanguard and I don't care if they can understand the brand well"
[Verse 2: Ruslan]
It's like the feel good, real good type of thing
No matter what the piper sings of what my life may bring
Joy, like when I'm in Pari' and get to see the Eiffel beam
Light illuminates the night, I get the sense that life's a dream
Uh-huh, yeah, I get the sense that all is well
When I can look into my lady's eye and see the olive branch
Extended, despite my messes, is the fact is that all have fail
But all is well, oh you caught the vapors
The way you money chases, don't get to close and get your whip pushed back like a whack shape up
I'm so preferred, so what you heard is like a day at Avis
They may not like me, but end of the day, they will pay us
So, say hello to the bad guy, that finna' be your ally
The visionary, whose vision scary, follow the rabbi
To the land flowin' with milk and honey, but I don't do dairy like I'm lactose
I tricked myself into believin', I'm really the last hope
Of dreams, seein' hints of the perseverance it comes from
I guess in light of eternity, all that may sound dumb
But livin' in the moment, all of that, it doesn't matter
'Cuz all I'm really focused on is how to break these patterns
And now, they wanna come around like they ain't went and dissed us
Like, we should really kick it and start workin' on our friendship
You know, I got a mental rolodex of every victim
Now, when I see in my head, I'm like, like
[Hook: Ruslan]
They don't know, they don't know
I don't wanna keep up with the Joneses
They don't know, they don't know
I don't really understand what no is
They don't know, they don't know
I don't wanna keep up with the Joneses
They don't know, they don't know
I don't really understand what no is
They told me that I shouldn't try to rap smart
'Cuz that may not resonate with the fans well
I told 'em, "I ain't tryna' sound Vanguard and I don't care if they can understand the brand well"
