What Do You Gain? Lyrics by Zander Matteson

Told You Some Things

2023

[Pre-Chorus]
Who gonna protect me? Holding shit down but doing it gently
You might get a Bentley, take you to the ocean and put you in jetski
Don't gotta impress me
You pinching your pennies, stacking them Benjis
I know that you get me
This shit could get awful, shit could get messy
Bitch like Angelina, the sex is eventful, why would I leave her?
I'm signing like Justin Bieber, I hop in the bed and I please her
No call when I leave her
Shе call me a bastard, I tell her "pеace luv"
Hasta la vista, am I really that bad at love?
[Chorus]
What do you gain when you try to pick my brain?
There's a couple things I really want to say
But the shit won't go my way
I've been tryna regain my strength, need a refuel on my tank
Then I'm back to work same day
Collect my check it's time to get paid, paid
[Verse]
I think I've been doing better now and I heard that
You struck out but you think that you found another dude that's
Tryna learn to rap, he heard my sound and now he's through with that
That phase blew through him fast
Back when we'd overreact, dead that shit, leave it at that
Probably thinkin' "Why'd he leave me at a time I need him bad?"
Wish I could redo it fast, see myself straight through the glass
But when I realize just who I've become
That shit is done now Uber back
[Chorus]
What do you gain when you try to pick my brain?
There's a couple things I really want to say
But the shit won't go my way
I've been tryna regain my strength, need a refuel on my tank
Then I'm back to work same day
Collect my check it's time to get paid, paid
[Chorus]
What-what do you gain when you try to pick my brain?
There's a couple things I really want to say
But the shit won't go my way
I've been tryna regain my strength, need a refuel on my tank
Then I'm back to work same day
Collect my check it's time to get paid, paid
