I been layin it out
I been layin it down
I been putting in work
And I been doing your dirt
I was working so hard
And you was praying to god
I was climbing and crawling
Staying hopeful through all this
Holding you down, even though I didn't know you'd come around
Holding me down, even when that goddamn karma came around
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, for nothing aye aye aye
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, for nothing aye aye aye
You left me hurting inside, but I learned to grow a spine
And now we're thoroughly divided, but I've learned to define it
And now I'm feeling so free, and I ain't down on my knees
And I ain't taking no pleas, I won't be taken for weak
Holding you down, even though you didn't know I'd come around
Holding me down, even when that goddamn karma comes around
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, for nothing aye aye aye
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, for nothing aye aye aye
BREAKDOWN
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, for nothing
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing
I said please, yeah please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, yeah please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, for nothing aye aye aye
Please won't you tell me, I ain't doing this thang for nothing, I ain't doing this thang for nothing
