Ain't Got to Love Me - CANON, Aaron Cole, Tony Tillman

It’s like twenty-four hours rollin'

I can hear the sirens goin'

Insecure, my brothers notice

I’m just tryin' not to show it

West side, family from it

Chi-town, live with it

Peace up, A-Town, moved down south with it

Nothin' came free, but it’s fair, told me

We just hopin' for approval, you may never love me

Your friends ain’t a promise, already got a team

But if I push you away then it’s shame on me

No that’s shame on us

Why we don’t trust

And if God ain’t admonished

You never see my love

And I know rejection be hurtin'

When you peep to my frustration

Ration and rotation

Dealin' with no patience

Wanna understand why that ain’t mixin' with me

They told me, «Canon, be Canon», can’t be no realer than me

They want a man with the heart of a saint, but ran from the streets

I’m just tryin' to figure out who rockin' with me just for me

Don’t try to come for my head, I carry more than my name

I live with my own perspective, we may not think on the same

But that’s okay and we know this, but you don’t gotta run from it

I’m gon' love you regardless so you ain’t got no love for me

And I know

Yeah, been tryna know my part for a while

But you ain’t gone get me off my route (Yeah)

And I’ma stand tall and I’ma trust God

And I’ma get this money 'til I fall ('Til I fall, yeah)

'Cause they ain’t gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)

They ain’t gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)

They ain’t gotta love me no way (Yup)

No way (No way), no way (No way)

They tell me it’s a cold world, I guess that’s why my feet froze

Might be a little paranoid if the truth can be told (Okay)

Lock up the door to my heart (Okay), nowdays I use a peephole (Okay)

I know what’s lurkin' outside, I seen the wolf in sheep clothes (I seen the

wolf in sheep clothes)

Look on through the fake friend circles so you can keep those

No comfort dissin' the man, nah I don’t believe that he rose (Don't believe

that he rose)

They tell you, «Play the game with all, don’t let 'em hurt you», D. Rose (Uh)

But boy, they’ll do you foul and they won’t even give you free throws (Free

throws)

So I just stick to the script, don’t even need a b-roll (Nah)

Just need my fam and my click, I’m stickin' to the G code (Code)

Don’t need permission to ball (Nah), no validation from y’all (Nah)

Some dudes pretend to be tall when they just really Skee-Los

But I ain’t stressin' on somethin', I done learned to embrace rejection (True)

No sweat if you don’t like me, I still hope you see a blessin'

Whole world could be against me long as God for me

Don’t really need acceptance from ya long as God love me

And I know

Yeah, been tryna know my part for a while

But you ain’t gone get me off my route (Yeah)

And I’ma stand tall and I’ma trust God

And I’ma get this money 'til I fall ('Til I fall, yeah)

'Cause they ain’t gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)

They ain’t gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)

They ain’t gotta love me no way (Yup)

No way (No way), no way (No way)

'Cause they ain’t gotta love me no way

They ain’t gotta love me no way

They ain’t gotta love me no way

No way
