Do Tell Lyrics - Padded Room - Joe Budden

Tell my mother I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt her 

And even when I did I never meant to take it further 

Tell my father I love him, dot dot etcetera 

He used to give me advice like a plethora 

I tried to find myself but I was your replica 

I mean I only tried to be what you never was 

Tell my older brother, I'm bad at bein' a brother 

I know I never told you just how highly I think of ya 

Tell my grandmother, she always been a friend to me 

I would have visited more if I wasn't into me 

Tell Trey I think his mother is an asshole 

When you get older you might understand how that goes 

Tell the hood I left, not for greed or wealth 

I did it for my own sanity and keep my health 

I tried to bring a few with me, hopin' we could cash in 

But all they said is that I ain't do it in a timely fashion 

Tell music she saved me when shit was adverse 

My first love I give my life so she can have hers 

Tell my friends, each one, they taught me how to be one 

I owe them part of everythin' I've become 

Tell fame I ain't want it, nah I'll keep it a hunnid 

I try my best to go and get it but the nigga fronted 

So I lie dormant, livin' through torment 

Tell cops I've got warrants, I don't warrant 

Tell the therapist, look I never thought I'd get here 

Somebody ask love why she ain't wanna live here 

So in its place is a lot of pride 

Anybody thinkin' they know me, I apologize 

Grandpa is eighty plus still bein' strong 

Tell the fake niggas, keep on keepin' on 

Faithfully tell anybody who hated me 

Hastily, all it ever did was motivated me 

They say I'm difficult, so to put it simply 

Tell the world I never cared it was against me 

Tell God to be there in case I fall 

Tell the fans I never gypped 'em, I always gave them my all 

Tell my girl she put me through it 

But if I had to go through it with anybody, I'm thankful it's her 

Tell every member of my family 

For too long I hid behind my own insanity and got me caught up 

And then somebody tell currency I chased him to the death 

I thought I'd catch the nigga until I ran out of breath 

Tell my bruises, I'm fine, I'm good, I normally heal quick 

Tell the rain come down, I need to feel it 

I told a nigga give me a hand but he wouldn't 

I kept tellin' myself I can't until I couldn't 

If nigga's wanna kill me tell 'em I already died 

Tell anybody that will listen I tried 

'Til the water ran dry 

Tell the water to get the fuck out my eyes 

Tell the crust, it tastes great but I much rather the pie 

Ask success what I gotta do to succeed 

Then tell my twin brothers I look at 'em like my seeds 

Y'all will be the mouths I feed 

If a nigga ever tell me how to rid myself of some of this greed 

I tell them that I'm grown, really I ain't finish growin' 

Look, tell failure I ain't wanna get to know him 

Tell the stick up kids to come and get me 

Tell the stereotypes, look I tried them shits on, they didn't fit me 

Tell whoever I wronged I apologize 

They tell me though it's bumps in the road, still I gotta ride 

They tell me I got a lot of pride 

I tell them how the fuck you gon' tell me what I got inside 

Then they wanna lecture a nigga 

Tell me life is what you make it 

That when I tell them I beg to differ
