Raise No Fool - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I'm wearing rose-tinted shades, but all I see

Is shades of my imagination covered in red

A crooked smile and some fake love put me in these handcuffs

Threw away the keys 'cause I was a threat

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, first you try to tell me that we're family

Then you try to tell me that it's for the best

You promise that you'll be there if I need ya

But I don't need your handout, you can take it back

[Chorus]

I won't be used

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging

So cut me loose

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

[Verse 2]

Mm, I got a pain in my backbone

Where'd you get that knife from?

Why the hell is it so covered in red?

I let you walk into my home

Let you make it your own

You tried to tear it down and leave me for dead

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, first you try to tell me that we're family

Then you try to tell me that it's for the best

You promise that you'll be there if I need ya

But I don't need your handout, you can take it back

[Chorus]

I won't be used (No, no)

My mama didn't raise no fool (Yeah)

Won't let you leave me hanging

So cut me loose (Snip, snip)

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

[Bridge]

Whoo, ha-ha-ha

Ladies and gentlemen

If you're sick of being disrespected

Let me hear you sing it

I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spending

No, I don't wanna feel like I'm losing 'cause you're winning, baby

I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spending

No, I don't wanna feel like I'm losing 'cause you're winning

[Chorus]

I won't be used

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging

So cut me loose

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging

I won't be used

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging

So cut me loose

My mama didn't raise no fool

Won't let you leave me hanging no more

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Won't let you leave me hanging no more (No more, no more)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Won't let you leave me hanging
