About Tell Your Friends

“Tell Your Friends” debuted live on stage in Las Vegas, and was followed by the release of a music video just days before BBTM was due to release. The video also featured visuals for the albums intro, “Real Life.” The song has our Canadian crooner inviting listeners to take a real look at his lifestyle – Abel has nothing to hide. Self destruction, chasing fame, relationships with women and drugs are all major themes throughout the album. The track was produced by Kanye West, who approached Abel first. .

Tell Your Friends Lyrics

[00:16.05] We are not the same, I am too reckless
[00:19.26] I'm not tryna go in that direction
[00:22.62] These niggas, they been doin' too much flexin'
[00:25.85] And they about to call the wrong attention
[00:28.83] And I don't got no patience, no more testin'
[00:32.02] I do shit how I want, don't need no blessin'
[00:35.45] XO niggas ain't nothin' to mess with
[00:38.50] Nobody stoppin' us, oh, no, we destined
[00:41.50] And everybody 'round you is so basic
[00:44.81] I'm never rockin' white, I'm like a racist
[00:48.32] I don't drink my liquor with a chase in
[00:51.33] That money is the only thing I'm chasin'
[00:54.69] And some dope dimes on some coke lines
[00:57.58] Gimme head all night, cum four times
[01:01.17] Baby girl just wanna smoke a pound
[01:03.95] Do an ounce, get some dick, tell her friends about it
[01:07.70] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[01:10.93] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[01:14.25] Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
[01:16.76] How I roll, how I get it on the low
[01:20.69] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[01:24.08] Go tell your friends about it
[01:26.50] I'm that nigga with the hair
[01:28.19] Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, fuckin' bitches, livin' life so trill
[01:33.06] Last year I did all the politickin'
[01:36.24] This year I'ma focus on the vision (the vision)
[01:39.79] I think these hoes deserve another fixin' (fixin')
[01:42.99] I'm talkin' 'bout the ones from the beginnin' (oh, oh, oh)
[01:46.13] Don't believe the rumors, bitch, I'm still a user
[01:49.30] I'm still rockin' camo and still roll with shooters
[01:53.16] I'm a villain in my city, I just made another killin'
[01:56.49] I'ma spend it all on bitches (on bitches)
[01:59.17] And everybody fuckin', everybody fuckin'
[02:02.69] Pussy on the house, everybody fuckin'
[02:05.54] Man, I miss my city, man, it's been a minute (been a minute)
[02:08.70] MIA a habit, Cali was the mission
[02:11.61] Cruise through the west-end in my new Benz (ooh, woah)
[02:14.99] I'm just tryna live life through a new lens
[02:18.31] Drivin' by the streets I used to walk through
[02:21.02] When I had no crib, I guess you call that shit a miracle
[02:24.80] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[02:28.34] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[02:31.55] Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
[02:34.10] How I roll, how I get it on the low
[02:37.92] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[02:41.32] Go tell your friends about it
[02:43.85] I'm that nigga with the hair
[02:45.32] Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, fuckin' bitches, livin' life so trill
[02:49.86] Roll some, think I'll roll some
[02:52.60] To know some, if we both honest
[02:55.99] Who lasts? Yeah, you lie
[02:58.95] Spent the whole summer
[03:02.18] Tryna be at the wrong place at the right time
[03:05.89] But I know what's mine when I see it
[03:09.41]
[03:11.75] I know
[03:16.04] My cousin said I made it big and it's unusual
[03:19.04] She tried to take a selfie at my Grandma's funeral
[03:22.24] Used to roam on Queen, now I sing Queen Street anthems
[03:25.44] Used to hate attention, now I pull up in that wagon
[03:28.98] And I was broken, I was broken, I was so broke
[03:32.04] I used to roam around the town when I was homeless
[03:35.21] Me and Lamar would rob a nigga for his Jordans
[03:38.37] And flip it just to get these hoes another nose fix
[03:41.62] Now we get faded when we want, girl, we got choices (we got choices)
[03:45.22] Lay them on the fuckin' table, we got choices (we got choices)
[03:48.14] And if they wanna fuck my niggas, they got choices (they got choices)
[03:51.36] They told me not to fall in love, that shit is pointless
[03:55.67] Yeah, that shit is pointless (pointless)
[03:57.99] They told me not to fall in love, that shit is pointless
[04:01.78] Yeah, that shit is pointless
[04:04.12] They told me not to fall in love, that shit is pointless
[04:08.22] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[04:11.58] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[04:14.68] Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
[04:17.20] How I roll, how I get it on the low
[04:21.10] Go tell your friends about it (about it)
[04:24.46] Go tell your friends about it
[04:27.13] I'm that nigga with the hair
[04:28.66] Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, fuckin' bitches, livin' life so trill
[04:34.59]
[04:37.92] Life so trill
[04:44.45] Life so trill
[04:47.32]
