Don’t Want It Lyrics
[Intro: Lil Nas X]
La, la, La, la
La, la, La, la
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
If I say so, know they gone ride
I know G's and you know they ain't nice
If I pop up, I'ma want it, but I get by
Tell the devil I can't have him inside (Woah)
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
[Verse 1: Lil Nas X]
I smoked myself to sleep, I'm sad, I think I'm feeling lonely
Took one too many shots last night and I spent all my money
Started thinking, "Am I stupid to be funny
Over things that's been haunting me all my life?"
And I'm f**king living proof that if you want it
You can have anything right before your eyes
[Interlude: Lil Nas X]
And the award goes to, Lil Nas X
Lil Nas X (Lil Nas X)
Lil Nas X (Lil Nas X)
The number one song on the Billboard Hot 100
"Call Me By Your Name" by Lil Nas X
[Verse 2: Lil Nas X]
I wanted fame and I wanted riches
Wanted happiness, wanted forgiveness
Started focusing on all these wishes
Crazy how this sh!t come to fruition
I've done things in my past I'm sorry for
So, please, don't hold me (Hold me)
Old people in my life should know that
I am not the old me (The old me)
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
If I say so, know they gone ride (Gone ride)
I know G's and you know they ain't nice
If I pop up, I'ma want it, but I get by (Get by)
Tell the devil I can't have him inside
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
[Outro: Lil Nas X]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
