Show Don't Tell

Aye yo turn my mic up
As I stand here in my, Alternative Attic hoodie
Look where I'm at, Mac Daddy

The American dream, but even my dreams quarantined
I been staying inside of my room ever since I was a teen
Dreaming of Katy Perry's, wishing that they would share me
Tell you the truth I was embarrassed, younger me was so scary
Now the whole world in the same boat
Everything move lightning quick, Usain Bolt
Bet you thought I'd say McQueen, what a pipe dream
And one thing I know, Mo & Mimar your favorite tag team (bitch)

So, show me don't tell me
None of y'all compelling
Your disrespect propels me
Your dishonesty so unhealthy
Stare into the sun
Show me don't tell me

Blinding lights, I been holding tight trying to buy some time
Fresh as a mint, my condition New York state of mind
Is it Nas or Billy Joel's?
Put these Scholl's in my soles
And see how far I can run down the road
Til I hit the point of no return, brutal feeling hit paydirt
Made my own spotlight and I stand til' I don't want to shine (uh)
I'm the most outstanding motherfucker I know
But I'm a villain at a party, when I wildin' at home
I be resting in my Diane Chambers
The rest of the time you see me, I'm with Sam Malone
I don't need constant cheers, only when I do something dope

So, show me don't tell me
None of y'all compelling
Your disrespect propels me
Your dishonesty so unhealthy
Stare into the sun
Show me don't tell me

You see that's the thing about a storm is
It may cool you down, but

I don't need to be around, to have a good time
I don't need to talk to you, to know what's on your mind
I've been wading through this storm for quite some time
Your opinions on the matter, I just hit decline

I been wading through this storm (yes, yes, yes)
I been wading through this storm
I been wading through this storm
Ah fuck, it is hot as fuck in here man, shit
