[Chorus:]
I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
You ain't told no tales, you ain't told no tales.
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell.
[Verse 1:]
I can tell bout 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 goin 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 momma's 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 makin 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.
[Chorus:]
I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
You ain't told no tales, you ain't told no tales.
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
No, you don't tell.
[Verse 2:]
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,
How we came up, and how we came down.
Goin donuts, coffee couldn't help now,
How we zoned out, made it out the wood now,
And what it do when they wanna be your friend now.
How to get it, how to live and get it in now,
How to go from scrappin pockets, makin his demands now,
I been impulsive, non-emotional, stayin humble bout it
Tilt the posture, sick, pass the bottle.
Five-o-four hot boys, minus the bad rap like Silkk the Shocker,
But Imma pull up the silk to shock her with the silk.
Nigga, you know I been a rocker, drippin 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 hangin on my neng-a-lang,
Bitches hangin on my dang-a-lang.
[Chorus:]
I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
You ain't told no tales, you ain't told no tales.
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
I can tell, baby, I can tell
I can tell, baby, I can tell,
No, you don't tell.
