Not You - Jelani Blackman

She don’t want my love, but she do want my money

Well I do have enough but you can’t have any, go on

Ah go on

Yuh

It’s a cold cold night every night in my city

The broke die young and the rich die pretty, go on

Uh go on

Now I don’t have faith but I do have rhythm

If you want we can move, you’ll be lost for a minute

Go on, go on, go on

Yeah, yeah

But then I always tell them it’s me, not you

It’s too true

'Cause I’m always thinking 'bout me, not you

Can’t lie, can’t lie

Oh, how could I be the one you know?

Yo, you know

And I’m always thinking 'bout me not you

Can’t lie, can’t

Alone in my mind with the lies and the riddles

I won’t need my pride but it blinds me a little

Go on, yuh, a go on

Yes

Nah, I don’t like losing, born as a winner

Gimmie a beat, show why I’m iller

Yuh yeah go on, yeah yeah

'Cause I throw sweet, sweet and messy

And I’m so bitter, and so damn edgy

Nah, can’t help it really

Even when I walk I slump, no really

I always tell them it’s me, not you

It’s too true

'Cause I’m always thinking 'bout me, not you

Can’t lie, can’t lie

Oh, how could I be the one you know?

Oh, you know

And I’m always thinking 'bout me not you

Can’t lie, can’t

Don’t know if they’re pulling me up or underneath

All that I know is I’m in my zone, I don’t need company

I was never looking for no one to fall in love with me

It’s better I walk alone, I sleep that hungry sleep

Still on my toes, I’m feeling cold, and no I can’t pretend

I never involved in any of their rows they tried to park me in

Don’t do no bargaining, I’m on my path again

There’s only one man in my parliament

And so I always tell them it’s me, not you

Yup, it’s too true

'Cause I’m always thinking 'bout me, not you

Can’t lie, can’t lie

Oh, how could I be the one you know?

Yo, you know

And I’m always thinking 'bout me, not you

Can’t lie, can’t
