Don't kill my vibe

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't shake it off and you feel threatened by me

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 [Chorus]
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)

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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? [Chorus]
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)

[Post-Chorus]
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
