I’ve Been Told Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been told not to be outstanding
Keep my dreams in my pocket, not to act so crazy
I've been told not to think so far
Get out of here, I'm talking to God
Is it so hard?
To become a star?
Without sending shit to the A&R's
Without sipping champagne in shiny cars
Without smoking weed till I get lost
I got sick of stupid ass bitches
I got sick of seeing your pictures
You got a dick in your mouth in my fiction
I'm flicking your ass in my vision
So I unfollowed
Now I'm about to cum, I know it's hard to swallow
Y'all just don't get that I don't give a fuck
Shut your mouth, you got a dick to suck

[Hook]
I've been doing this
I've been doing that
Now you're saying things
You can't go back
No you can't regeret
You can't pretend
Don't shake my hand, you ain't a friend
I've been doing this
I've been doing that
Now you're saying things
You can't go back
No you can't regeret
You can't pretend
Don't shake my hand, you ain't a friend
[Verse 2]
I think I'll go more aggressive
I don't wanna see none of your faces
I don't wanna die before I go massive
I don't want to talk to none of your hoes
None of your bros
Look, all of us, got highs and lows
Let's have a toast
Before we die
Before we having halos in suit and ties
I'm picturing heaven
You keeping distance
I feel free even though I'm in prison
There are two ways I chose the one not taken
I feel the love from y'all haters
I can feel the heat from hell
There are stories to tell
There's an album to drop
There are tickets to sell
But at the time, I didn't know what I know today
Fuck this shit, now We Say

[Hook]
I've been doing this
I've been doing that
Now you're saying thing
You can't go back
No you can't regeret
You can't pretend
Don't shake my hand, you ain't a friend
I've been doing this
I've been doing that
Now you're saying thing
You can't go back
No you can't regeret
You can't pretend
Don't shake my hand, you ain't a friend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
