Chorus
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Verse
Who you think you is
All up in my business
You don't cut my check so
Exit from here real quick
Young man tryna make it
You play it safe and basic
I think outside the box
You're just a square that's in the matrix
I'm livin' the dream
Without a care if it's the safest
Do it for my fam
With no desire to be famous
My sis, my bro, my little
Cousins are my inspiration
God is walking with me, talking to me
He's the greatest
I follow His path
And swerved out of yo' lane
Glad it works for you
But I do it my own way
I've been gettin' money
Before my degree. Paid a
Fee from a job, and I
Run my own company
Don't mix Christ in Hip
Hop, but I did it though
Kept pushin' even when my
Rhyme schemes didn't flow
Mission never changed
Still the main goal's give ‘em hope
Tell me what I can't do
You think I'ma listen? Nope
Chorus
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Verse
Away from me
Is where you gotta go if you don't pay my fee
I'm nice, but don't expect to get a thang for free
We ain't talk in years, don't even say a thing
Don't need your fakery
You is not my bro just
Because we're from the same town
Yes I like to smile
But don't treat me like a dang clown
Barely even greet me
You approach me with your hand out
Can't afford my deal, then
You better change your plan now
I know what I'm worth
Don't tell me that I need change
Yes, I like to help, but
Everything cannot be free, mayne
That don't make me greedy
And if you really need me
Respect me like a man and
Do not treat my craft so cheaply
I can't understand you
If you try to tell me what I
Can or I can't do
I choose to ignore any
Man or woman who
Thinks you're limited to their own
Standards. I chase my own
Plan and you can too
Chorus
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
You can't tell me what I can do
You can't tell me what I can or I can't do
