Fables

[Hook:]
Don't tell no fables
Or if you able
When I was younger
I went to church and that shit done some'
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables.

[Verse 1:]
Don't tell no fables, now I'm able
I know can't hit every note
Yeah I know but hit that feeling
That be deep up in your soul
Don't tell no fables
I don't care what you promote
I don't care what's in your stove
Don't tell no fables
You hit me with them looks
I swear it's not a surprise
Don't tell no fables.

[Hook:]
Don't tell no fables
Or if you able
When I was younger
I went to church and that shit done some'
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables.

[Verse 2:]
Yeah I never changed
I'm influencing
Never pretending
I ain't wanna blend in
In sixth grade
I got braids
I didn't even care
Them niggas had waves
Cain and Abel, since the cradle
Couldn't hate or hurt my bro
In a maze with all your tales
I don't know which way to go
Don't tell no fables
I could kiss the ocean floor
I could dangle from the heavens
You a danger on the low.

[Hook:]
Don't tell no fables
Or if you able
When I was younger
I went to church and that shit done some'
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables
Don't tell no fables.

[Verse 3:]
Stereotypes and all your labels
Lord, [I] don't trust a word you say
Don't tell no fables
I'm gonna learn the truth one day
It's amazing all the lies they told
Lives they've broken
Good thing I could read
With my three eyes wide open
Read between the lines
The likkle, hidden, beenie signs
Weh most people nuh really find
Don't tell me no lie
Don't tell me no fable
Call a spade a spade
And throw your cards on the table
Know the truth for myself
So you can't rock me in your cradle
I have no white god
Selassie ah mi savior.
