You shut me down, you like the control You speak to me like I'm a child Try to hold it down, I know the answer I can shake it off and you feel threatened by me I tried to play it nice but Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh Don't kill my vibe Oh-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 You think you're so important to me, don't you? Don't kill my vibe You love to tear me down, you pick me apart Then build me up like I depend on you But I throw 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-oh, ooh, ooh Don't kill my vibe Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh Don't break my stride (I tried to play it nice but) You think you're so important to me, don't you? But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here You think you're so important to me, don't you? Don't kill my vibe Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho And oh-oh-oh-oh You're acting like you hurt me but I'm not even listening Hey, no-ooh-ooh-ooh You're acting like you hurt me but I'm not even listening Don't kill Don't kill my vibe You think you're so important to me, don't you? But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here You think you're so important to me, don't you? I tried to play it nice but Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh Don't kill my vibe Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh Don't break my stride (I tried to play it nice but) You think you're so important to me, don't you? But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here You think you're so important to me, don't you? Don't kill my vibe
