[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
