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 answerI can't 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

No, 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
