[Intro]

I can tell


[Chorus]

I can tell, baby, I can tell

Ooh, I can tell, baby, I can tell

You ain't told no tales, you ain't told no tales

Yeah, gone out of your way, you know we can tell

Yeah, I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell


[Verse 1]

I can tell by the night tales and the dry spells

All the wrong ones and the right things to stay away from

And how we took off and how we on top

And how we won't fall, how we goin' up

Or how we came up, or how we came up

It all started in the basement

Was an attic, but we called that shit the basement

Bass used to break all my mama vases

Unc' shot my first 8, then, nigga, I probably weren't eight then

Always had the gas like I broke wind

They said my way of makin' dollars never made sense

Come take a dive, a waterfall in the deep end

I can tell you 'bout the nights out in Fort Bend


[Chorus]

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell

Yeah, you ain't told no tales, you don't—, mm

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell (Yeah)

No, you don't tell, yeah (Yeah)


[Verse 2]

Yeah, I can tell 'bout the night tales

And all the dry wells, and all the long roads

And all my ideas before the cornrows (Straight up)

How we came up and how we came down

Goin' donuts, coffee couldn't help now (La Flame)

How we zoned out? Made it out the hood now

And what it do when they wanna be your friend now? (Oh, no)

How to get it, how to live and get it in now?

How to go from scrapin' profits, makin' his demand now?

I been impulsive, non-emotional, stayin' humble 'bout it (Yeah)

Tilt the posture, sick, pass the bottle (Yeah)

504 Hot Boyz, minus the bad rap like Silkk the Shocker (Yeah)

But I'ma pull up the silk, to shock her with the silk

Nigga, you know I been a rocker, drippin' milk and knockers

Take it up another notcher, take it up another notcher (Doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot)

I top a—, pop a pill, pop a seal to forget about ya

I'll bumbaclot you, bumba—bumba—blocka shot ya (Brrah-brrah-brrah-brrah-brrah)

Bling-and-bang-a, bang a rapper, bangarang, I brought my money back, orangutan

Diamonds hangin' on my nang-a-lang (Doot-doot-doot-doot-doot)

Bitches hangin' on my dang-a-lang (Straight up), yeah


[Chorus]

I can tell, baby, I can tell (Yeah-ayy-ah)

I can tell, baby, I can tell (Yeah-ayy-ah)

Yeah, you ain't got no tales, you ain't—, mmm (Oh-ayy, oh-ayy, oh-ayy, oh-ayy, oh-ayy)

I can tell, baby (Woo), I can tell (Hoo-hoo)

I can tell, baby, I can tell (How 'bout I come over there?)

I can tell, baby, I can tell (All of them bitches can tell)

I can tell, baby, I can tell (All of them bitches can tell)

No, you don't tell, yeah
