Rap Lyrics by Darius Coffee

Verse 1:
Maybe you didn’t love me like you said you did
Maybe you just didn’t know me like you thought you did
Don’t explain
Just leave it this way

Chorus:
You can’t tell me nothing
That I didn’t already know
You can’t tell me nothing
That your deeds haven’t shown

Verse 2:
Maybe you didn’t tell me what I need to hear
Maybe you just didn’t trust me enough to let me near
That’s ok
You must like it that way

Chorus:
You can’t tell me nothing
That I didn’t already know
You can’t tell me nothing
That your deeds haven’t shown
You can’t tell me nothing
You can’t tell me nothing
You can’t tell me nothing
That your deeds haven’t shown

Rap:
Look, “I love the way you lie”
Eminem said, now I’m walking with his pride
Everything was penny when your thought was in the dime
If it don’t make sense, well I understand why
Love is emotion then it’s turned to a crime
‘Cause you’re playin’ with my heart, not playin’ with my mind
Arguments always lead to a fight
When you hit me, I leave, you cry
Blowin’ up my phone like, baby why
Did I come back in the stage of long nights
You said work it out, but I’m sleeping on the couch
In the middle of the night you come creepin’ like a mouse
Love is unconditional, it’s good for your heart
Tryin’ to stay together but you’re tearin’ us apart
Got you lookin’ dumb see you wasn’t that smart
See, I thought you was bright but I left you in the dark

Bridge:
Keep casting your spells and stirring your brew
But you’ll never sell me your lies as the truth
No
No

Chorus:
You can’t tell me nothing
That I didn’t already know
You can’t tell me nothing
That your deeds haven’t shown
You can’t tell me nothing
That I didn’t already know
You can’t tell me nothing
That your deeds haven’t shown
