Shelton Harris Don't Tell Me Lyrics

[Hook: Scarlet Parke]
Here I go, on my own
Don't tell me no, don't tell where to run
Here I go, on my own
Don't tell me no, don't tell me where to run
Maybe we, we are running from ourselves
Chasing something else, when all we need is who we are
We are running from ourselves
Chasing something else, when all we need's who we are

[Verse 1: Shelton Harris]
I saw this moment painted in a dream I had
I seen it clearly, this ain't happened by mistake
And I been hiding for a minute, yeah there's no surprise
Open my eyes and now I'm finally awake
I´ve been on some hate, what did i become
Thats a part of it
Time to take it back to 2012 where I started when
Couldn't tell me nothing, I was rapping, caught up, buzzin
That´s when shit began to bubble, making hits like I gotta win
Payin' so much, man, I got to lose it my own
Tyler work around the clock, but I´ve been straight on my own
Till I got to ride his block, and kicked me out of my zone
And when they callin' my phone, but f*ck it, nobody's home
Yeah, I was busy racin' no one to the top of nothing
Bad decisions, never think about the repercussions
I'm off the notion that I think I never feel again
Ready for whatever, feeling better than I ever been

[Hook: Scarlet Parke]
Here I go, on my own
Don't tell me no, don't tell where to run
Here I go, on my own
Don't tell me no, don't tell me where to run Maybe we, we are running from ourselves
Chasing something else, when all we need is who we are
We are running from ourselves
Chasing something else, when all we need is who we are

[Verse 2: Shelton Harris]
Look in the mirror, see what you're hiding from
Some people hard to see, some people tryin' wrong
It's like a drug become addicted to that validation
And that insecurity is a problem of my generation
Think about those numbers got me stressin' now, stressin' hard
Take a seat, don't worry 'bout yourself dog, check it out
Thinking back to when I used to hate me, flexin' out
Now you got some shit up on your chest, fam, let it out
We bury secrets but it's you that´s buried underneath it
We bottle everything inside 'till you start the sequel
Yeah I know I'm guilty of it, but I can't let 'em make me
See I got problems too, but I can't let 'em break me
Just pick the pieces off and shape 'em into something greater
And know your life is like a story, only you can tell
Because it's all about perspective only, you can change it
And worry not what people see but what you see yourself

[Hook: Scarlet Parke]
Maybe we, we are running from ourselves
Chasing something else, when all we need is who we are
We are running from ourselves
Chasing something else, when all we need is who we are
