about

“Don't Fall For It is a rallying cry for weathering the con artists in our midst. Don't Fall For It is an anthem, and brings much-needed smiles to many faces during troubling times indeed.” - Robert Cotnoir

lyrics

Thank you Lord for giving me another day!

Intro
C'mon y'all
I got something to talk about here.
You with me?
Now check it out y'all
And it goes like this:

I
Gonna take it nice and slow and don't get carried away with it.
What is it about that makes you always want to stay with it?
Like busting out of jail and you're back wholesale, can't hide from it.
You think you're two steps ahead but you could end up dead don't fall for it.

Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
I'll tell you one more time cause I fell for it.
Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
It'll mess with your mind, almost does it every time.

Don't fall for it, don't mess with it.
It'll mess with your mind, almost does it every time.
But don't fall for it, don't play with it.
If I tell you one more time, cause I fell for it.

Chorus
And now I'm a little bit older now,
A little bit bolder now.
A little bit leaner,
Little bit meaner,
Little bit wiser now.
Another day going down,
A better way comes around
Now that you found love is what it's all about.

II
Don't make the same mistakes that I've been making, what I'm saying: don't fall for it.
Had this feeling all the time in the back of my mind and I fell for it.
You only come up to my knee and I'm six-foot-three but I fell for it.
Superstition read like Stevie Wonder said: don't play with it.

Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
I'll tell you one more time, cause I fell for it.
Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
It'll mess with your mind, almost does it every time.

Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
If I tell you one more time, cause I fell for it.

Chorus
And now I'm a little bit older now
A little bit bolder now
A little bit leaner
Little bit meaner
Little bit wiser now
Another day going down
A better way comes around
Now that you found love is what it's all about.

III
“If you're coming for me, then you're gonna be meeting with my fist.
You better check yourself before you wreck yourself and that's it.”
And I know that's what you're really wishing for me to say,
But this time around you sad-faced clown? I don't give a shit.

Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
I'll tell you one more time cause I fell for it.
Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
It'll mess with your mind, almost does it every time.

Don't fall for it, don't play with it.
If I tell you one more time, cause I fell for it.
No more con man flim flam, I'm taking matters in my hand
Now it's finally time to understand

Chorus
And now I'm a little bit older now,
A little bit bolder now.
A little bit leaner,
Little bit meaner,
Little bit wiser now.
Another day going down,
A better way comes around
Now that you found love is what it's all about.

Thank you Lord for giving me another day!
