Lyrics: You Can’t Tell Me Nothing By Tru Mantra
Verse 1:
He died on the cross,
He died on the cross o
He rose up again,
He rose up again o
I know that life can be so tough
I know that life can be so rough
You don’t know,
you don’t know where to go to
You don’t know,
you don’t know who to call to
When there is life,
there will always be hope
When there is life,
there will always be hope o
Don’t give up, just push on,
don’t give up, just push on
What is your life, what is your hope?
Jesus is life and He’s my hope, o
You don’t need the rope o
Cos there is hope o e!
Chorus:
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
I know this o,
I know this o e
I know this o,
I know this e e e!
Verse 2:
The reason why we laugh is a fun thing
The reason why we cry
is the wrong thing
The reason why we
here is a boom thing
And the reason we draw
near is a done thing
A done thing,
I know the situation is daunting
Revolting, I see the
circumstances are haunting
No fronting, it feel like
everybody be stunting
God got you covered even
when them do you strong thing
Good things happen to bad people
Bad stuff happens to fly people
Doesn’t have to mean you’re
living wrong just because
you’re in a bind people
That’s vile people, things can get
real bumpy in the ride of life people
Do every single thing right
but still get wrong people
But no fear,
God is in control
He’s got your back like team
sports on a game console
I say no fear,
God is in control
He’s got your back like
team sports on a game console
Chorus:
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
I know this o,
I know this o e
I know this o,
I know this e e e!
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
I know this o,
I know this o e
I know this o,
I know this e e e!
Sing/Rap verse:
Oya move on, oya press on,
oya move on o
See, grab a Uhaul get
your move on, your move on
Come off the bench get
your press on, press on
Oya press on e, press on o
See, it’s a close shave
but put your chin up
You’re coming back like Tiger,
the move is teed up
Don’t give up o,
don’t give up o!
Don’t give up o,
don’t give up o!
Chorus:
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
I know this o,
I know this o e
I know this o,
I know this e e e!
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
You can’t tell me nothing,
cos I know this one thing
I know this o, I know this o e
I know this o, I know this e e
