John Reuben Do Not Lyrics

Do Not Lyrics

do not tell me what i can and cannot do when i rock
(wait, hold up, this is
my favorite part)
do not tell me what i can and cannot do when i rock
do
not tell me what i can and cannot do when i rock

(you know what man? you
pay five bucks to come in here
to just stand in the back and act like youre
too "hard" to 
enjoy yourself!)

to each his own correct
then don't select my flavor
while see them in the back critiquin' my
behavior
tryin' to take create n' shape me to fit his mold
he yelled out
sellout but maybe he wasn't told
so let me tell his shallow mind why we do
what we do
I create for the creator but not to impress you
I'll challenge
your thinkin' but not to test you
you might not like me, I'll still say
"God bless you"
and address the issue it's all love n'
respect
and honestly bro I don't think that 's too much to expect
but too
many times your shallow mind will keep you caught
you can't escape your
thinkin' all you've ever been taught
is that you walk this way
you talk
this way
you front this way
you pose this way
you act this way
na,
na that ain't me
I got to be who God created me to be

semichorus:do
not tell me what I can and cannot do when I rock

why is it as humans we
cling on to only what we know
never expanding and stepping out our comfort
zone
we walk alone and then roam in ignorance
then turn back around and
use it as a defense
for shallowness this seems to be a concern
cuz not
knowin' is an excuse for those unwillin' to learn

Alright I need all
people in the front to the back,
the back to the front, Lets get down, we
gon do it like this

chorus:do not tell me what I can and cannot do when
I rock
original material my crew nonstop
we're keepin' it fly we'll turn
it out
ya'll feelin' some of that? no doubt!

do not stereotype the
individual
cuz what you hear in your stereo is not the typical
stereoypes
get broken now when I'm provokin'
new levels of thought so leave your shallow
mind open
cats approachin' me without no lack or no clue
I understand
though bro, see someone's been training you
to think like you think and act
like you do
its' getting old not like it should have ever been new
but as
long as shallowness exists I shall persist
to rip apart the whole structure
and expose the nucleus
shallowness exists I shall persist to rip
apart
the whole structure and expose it for what it is

lack of understanding
lack of communication
lack of a desire for expanding education
lack of
inspiration lack of innovation
the fact you can't respect another mans
creaiton
lack of motiviation lack of restoration
the fact we lack unity
and enjoy separation
lack of destination because you know what I feel
I
feel that humans lack the ability to be real
yes yes yessss yesssss yessss
yesssss!!!!
(chorus 'till fade)
