Don't Kill My Vibe

You shut me down, you like the control
You speak to me like I am a child
You try to hold it down, I know the answer
And I can't shake it off and you feel threatened by me

I tried to play it nice, but
Oh-oh-ooh
Don't kill my vibe
Oh-oh-ooh
Don't break my stride

You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
Think you're so important to me, don't you?
Well, don't kill my vibe

You love to tear me down, you like the control
Then build me up like I depend on you
I've thrown myself from heights that used to scare me
Guess you're surprised, I'm the puzzle you can't figure out

I tried to play it nice but
Oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Don't kill my vibe
Oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Don't break my stride

You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
Think you're so important to me, don't you?
Well, don't kill my vibe

Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho
You say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho
You're acting like you hurt me, but I'm not even listening
You're acting like you hurt me, but I'm not even listening
So, don't kill my vibe, ooh

Yo! I tried to play it nice but
Oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Don't kill my vibe, ah
Oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Don't break my stride

You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
Think you're so important to me, don't you?
Well, don't kill my vibe
