Put aside all of society's expectations, and all of the things people told you you should do with your life. Now, what is it that you want? This is the question musician JClay poses to his listeners with the high-speed track ‘Tell Me’, featuring OPlus.
Hitkidd serves as producer on this track, giving a beat that flies at 100 mph, seeing both artists deliver heavy-hitting fast-paced bars like never before. It’s the type of song that puts you in ‘get up and go’ mode but more importantly, tells you to find your own path.
‘Tell Me’ is a song made for a turn-up, and for the independence of the mind. When it comes time to stop worrying about what others say or do, and just simply do you. Don’t let people paint a picture of your life. Grab the brush and make your own scene. You’ll be amazed by the final product once you do so.
lyrics
Yeah
Unh
Why you monkey for that money
What they tell you do
Are you working for your worth
And is that working for you
Before becoming indoctrinated
What was you gone do
Without comparing them to me
And me and them into you
Why you
Hol hol up holup holup holup holup
I don't even think yall realize what I just said
I gotta bring this mug back so you can listen
Yeah
Why you monkey for that money
What they tell you do
Are you working for your worth
And is that working for you
Before becoming indoctrinated
What was you gone do
Without comparing them to me
And me and them into you
Why you play the victim
Acting like you wasn't involved
Changing wants into needs
To praise money to God
Like you don't know which is which
You the wizard of odd
I hope it click so you can heal
And finally end the facade
Ooh
Yeah
Real healing is total
You can't be a one and a zero
That's a 0 though
Oh no, yeah
I'm speaking in bits
But you can't reach the peak
Cuz what you seeking is spilt
Yeah you can't teach peace
And the value of pain
One cancels out the other
Having both is insane
I'm here to elevate your mind
Keep it simple and plane
So you should always have fun
Cuz it's only a game
Yeah
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
We can make it happen
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
And we can make it happen
I really want to not to want
Because my wants are all ego
Based
Stunt amongst my peers with my mean ol
Face
Then live about in fear of what people
Take
Working all year just to be o
K
Just to be oh
Just to be oh
Just to be ok
Why behave just to be a slave
To an idea that we ain't make
Call each other out like we ain't safe
Is that what you would have
Never feeling whole cuz you think that you a half
Searching for a soul
Not in control of what you have
To fulfill the hole that you would hold
Just for a laugh
Haha ha ha
Jokes on you
Until you change the code
That's what folks gone do
Give you want you want
But even that won't do
You not special, you celestial
What's the earthly to you
Ay
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
We can make it happen
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
And we can make it happen
Tell me what you want and I'm gone make sure that it happens
Never tell me what they say if they participate in cappin'
When you wake up everyday just know that it could be your last one
I ain't trying to have you shook
Just trying to have you out there grabbing
Everything that you see up in your dreams
Let no haters intervene
Tunnel vision on the track til you a fiend
What I mean
Still waters never clean
But better than being trapped in a ravine
Oh you don't
Really know what triggers for
To make you grow
If you wanna change, let JClay make you a mold
If you take a L, don't fall down just let if flow
If you wanna build, let E - GO (let go, lehgo)
O into taking control, favor wherever we go
Made it from cereal bowls, straight into serial glow
Drippin' all over my foes, spoiling all of my woes
Giving a grip to the poor, this is a different mode
It's the kings of the spirit
We gonna cling to the feeling
Six rings let me hear it
When the team get up in it
We gonna fiend must admit it
We could never quit it
Gotta couple dreams we gone finish
Ain't no time to get offended
Just get better just get ready
You talking to everybody from the temple to the tellie
Got the Tommy by the belly just in case they actin jelly
But I'm ready to repent
He say let's do it homie...tell me
Man it all started when I was young
Growing up in Chicago
In the 80s
Man it was crazy
