Yazmin Lacey
Not Today Mate
[Verse 1]
Please don't patronise me
Because I Iay my heart upon my sleeve
Truth be told, I've met a few types like these
And clear as day
You don't value me
[Verse 2]
Put in hours, hours of work on myself
So please approach with caution when your ego swells
Still on the mend, but not about to give in
You need to learn
Learn my limits
[Chorus]
You don't do me right
Stuck somewhere in your ego
Too far to feel the light
At my expense, you regrow
Bad feeling when you're closе to me
Like you're drawing down my еnergy
Please let me go and be
[Verse 3]
Forgive is what you want
But it don't come for free, no
Forgiveness comes with the space to let me be, yeah, yeah
And I don't think you've ever met a type like me
Clear as day
You don't value me
[Verse 4]
I'll never be a puppet on your strings
Won't fit into moulds you created
From a long, long line of strong women
So show respect
'Bout where I've been
[Chorus]
You don't do me right
Stuck somewhere in your ego
Too far to feel the light
At my expense, you regrow
Bad feeling when you're close to me
Like you're drawing down my energy
You have to go and leave
[Bridge]
Every time I think you've changed you come and show
The nostalgia's wearing thin, and now I know
The rules have changed, I'm takin' some control
No more energy expelled
You got to go
[Chorus]
You don't do me right
Stuck somewhere in your ego
Too far to feel the light
At my expense, you regrow
Bad feeling when you're close to me
Like you're drawing down my energy
You have got to leave
