I can tell

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

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 going 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 mommas vases

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

Always had the gas like I broke wind

They said my way of making 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

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell, yeah

You ain't told no tales, you don't-, mhm

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-ah-ah (yeah)

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

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

How we zoned out, made it out the wood 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 scraping pockets, making his demands now

I been impulsive, non-emotional, staying humble 'bout it

Tilt the posture, sick, pass the bottle

Five-o-four hot boys, 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, dripping milk and knockers

Take it up another notcher, take it up another notcher

I top a, pop a pill, pop a seal to forget about you

I'll bumbaclot you, bumba bumba blocka shot you

Bling and bang, a bang a rapper

Bangarang, I brought my money back

Orangutan diamonds hanging on my neng-a-lang

Bitches hanging on my dang-a-lang

I can tell, baby, I can tell

I can tell, baby, I can tell, yeah

You got no tales, you ain't-, mhm

I can tell, baby, 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
