Don’t Tap the Glass
Don't tap the glass
Don't tap the glass
Yeah, yeah They starin',
awed, knowin' nothin' at all See
the tats,
see the hair,
watch me walk while they crawl
Heard the rumors,
all the gossip,
nothing came from this jaw You
can point,
you can mock,
I never give a fuck and
they're appalled I'm not your show,
not your art Pay for what
you get like it raw à
la carte It’s still my fucking
set Gave you ammo for your
guns but y’all still throwin' roses
Even after hours,
the exhibit never closes They can
reach, pull and grab always within
arm's reach Not your pastor or
your reverend; I practice what I
preach Let's be clear,
let's be vivid: I am everything
they seek Give a tap,
I react now they screamin’,
"He's a freak"
Don't tap the glass You paid
admission that ain't access Love what
you see 'til it stares right
back Then scream he's a monster
when the surface cracks Don't tap
the glass Keep your hands off
what you can't possess You wanted
a reaction? Well,
you got it fast Now live
with the answer
Don't tap the glass
Yuh, They hear Tyler try to
type in “now there’s Tyler too”
Get a lot of MeToo’s but
I see who is who A
lotta people claim they made the
break but their face was see-through
Not in my lane,
not even seated at my venue
Went from shakin' hands and photo
ops to photos exposin' on my
opps They tried restrainin' Tyler but
I'm pulling out the stops I
don't bite my tongue or hold
back words—I'm the shit you never
say Fuck what you speak or
what you heard,
I'm still the motherfuckin' play Don't
tap the glass You paid admission
that ain't access Love what you
see ‘til it stares right back
Then scream he's a monster when
the surface cracks Don't tap the
glass Keep your hands off what
you can't possess You wanted a
reaction? Well,
you got it fast Now live
with the answer
Don't tap the glass Is it
keepin' me in or keeping you
safe? You keep pressin' your palms
like I'm somethin' to save You
loved me behind it all framed
and contained ‘Til the crack started
spreadin' then you ran from my
name I was never the cage,
I was never the trap You
built the exhibit then blamed how
I act Now the warning makes
sense when the whole thing collapses
Look at ’em all
cue the overreaction
Don't tap the gla...
Don't tap the glass
