I DON’T WANNA TALK [Intro — spoken, low and cocky] Uh… Nah. I heard enough. And before you start explaining— Don’t. (I said what I said.) [Hook] I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, back up off me I learned all my boundaries So I don’t wanna talk You can keep that energy I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Nope, not today I learned all my boundaries And I’m standing on ’em You can say whatever you wanna say I’m still walking away (Bye!) [Verse 1 — rapid, rhythmic rap] Heard you was talking behind my back What you thought? It wouldn’t get back? Small town mouth with a big-time chat Now look who standing where the truth at You was comfortable running your lips Now you nervous when I’m in the mix Funny how stories start getting twisted When the person you talked about enters the room (What happened?) I don’t chase, I don’t argue I don’t beg, I don’t spar If you don’t like me, that’s beautiful You can stay exactly where you are I learned my peace ain’t up for debate My boundaries got a locked-ass gate Used to explain every move I made Now I just smile like, “Have a nice day.” (Let ’em talk!) [Pre-Hook — melodic but attitude-heavy] You thought I was gonna call You thought I was gonna snap You thought I was gonna come running Trying to straighten out the facts But I don’t owe you nothing Not a reason, not a word If you wanted my attention Should’ve said it when you heard (Too late!) [Hook] I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, back up off me I learned all my boundaries So I don’t wanna talk You can keep that energy I don’t wanna talk [Verse 2 — beat switches, more aggressive] Look— I got a mouth, but I choose when I use it Got a heart, but I ain’t stupid Got receipts, but I don’t gotta prove it Truth walked in, now everybody losing I can tell when the room get quiet I can feel when the vibe get weird You ain’t gotta tell me nothing Baby, I already heard You said this, you said that Now you looking at me like, “Who said that?” I don’t know, but the walls got ears And the truth got legs And it traveled real fast (Real fast!) I’m too grown for the back-and-forth Too blessed for the petty war If I close that door, don’t knock no more I learned what my peace is worth (Period!) [Bridge — stripped beat, spoken] I used to talk it out. Explain myself. Give people chance after chance. Not anymore. You crossed the line? I saw it. You showed me who you are? I believe you. And now? I don’t wanna talk. (Mm-mm.) [Final Hook — beat explodes] I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Nope, I’m good, walk it off I learned all my boundaries And I’m standing on ’em You can talk behind my back Just don’t be shocked when I’m gone (I’m gone!) I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna talk Mm-mm, I don’t wanna talk You had your chance, you said your piece Now give me my peace I don’t wanna talk! [Outro — whispered, laughing] Mm-mm… You can keep talking. I just ain’t listening. (Shhh.) I don’t wanna talk.
