Lyrics Not You by 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
