Artist: The Weeknd

 
"Tell Your Friends" by The Weeknd, from his album "Beauty Behind the Madness," showcases a blend of soulful melodies with introspective lyrics, reflecting on his rise to fame, personal experiences, and the lifestyle changes that have come with success. The song, co-produced by Kanye West, delves into The Weeknd's journey from his humble beginnings to becoming a celebrsted artist, touching on themes of authenticity, the temptations of fame, and the artist's unapologetic embrace of his past and present. The Weeknd uses this track to differrentiate himself from others, highlighting his recklessness and unique path in the industry. He addresses his disdain for those who flex for the wrong reasons, asserting his independence and determination to succeed without conforming to others' expectations. The lyrics "We are not the same, I am too reckless" and "XO niggas ain't nothin' to mess with" serve as a declaration of his distinct identity and a warning to those who might underestimate him and his crew. Throughout the song, The Weeknd reflects on his experiences with substance use, relationships, and the pursuit of pleasure, portraying a life filled with excess and the pursuit of hedonistic desires. However, amidst the revelry, there's an undercurrent of introspection and a critique of the emptiness that can accompany fame and material success. The chorus, "Go tell your friends about it," acts as an invitation to share his story, offering a glimpse into the highs and lows of his journey. "Tell Your Friends" stands out as a candid narrative that blends personal reflection with a critique of the music industry and celebrity culture. The Weeknd's soulful delivery and the song's smooth, atmospheric production create a haunting backdrop for his storytelling, cementing its place as a standout track in his discography.

Tell Your Friends Lyrics

Tell Your Friends by The Weeknd


[Verse 1]
We are not the same, I am too reckless
I'm not tryna go in that direction
These niggas, they been doin' too much flexin'
And they about to call the wrong attention
And I don't got no patience, no more testin'
I do sh*t how I want, don't need no blessin'
XO niggas ain't nothin' to mess with
Nobody stoppin' us, oh, no, we destined
And everybody 'round you is so basic
I'm never rockin' white, I'm like a racist
I don't drink my liquor wit' a chase in
That money is the only thing I'm chasin'
And some dope dimes on some coke lines
Gimme head all night, cum four times
Baby girl just wanna smoke a pound
Do an ounce, get some dick, tell her friends about it

[Chorus]
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
How I roll, how I get it on the low
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it
I'm that nigga with the hair
Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, f**kin' b**ches, livin' life so trill

[Verse 2]
Last year I did all the politickin'
This year I'ma focus on the vision (The vision)
I think these hoes deserve another fixin' (Fixin')
I'm talkin' 'bout the ones from the beginnin' (Oh, oh, oh)
Don't believe the rumors, b**ch, I'm still a user
I'm still rockin' camo and still roll with shooters
I'm a villain in my city, I just made another killin'
I'ma spend it all on b**ches (On b**ches)
And everybody f**kin', everybody f**kin'
Pussy on the house, everybody f**kin'
Man, I miss my city, man, it's been a minute (Been a minute)
MIA a habit, Cali was the mission
Cruise through the west-end in my new Benz (Ooh, woah)
I'm just tryna live life through a new lens
Drivin' by the streets I used to walk through
When I had no crib, I guess you call that sh*t a miracle

[Chorus]
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
How I roll, how I get it on the low
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it
I'm that nigga with the hair
Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, f**kin' b**ches, livin' life so trill
[Bridge: Kanye West]
Roll some, think I’ll roll some
To know some, if we both honest
Who lasts? Yeah, you lie
Spent the whole summer
Tryna be at the wrong place at the right time
But I know what's mine when I see it
I know

[Verse 3]
My cousin said I made it big and it's unusual
She tried to take a selfie at my Grandma's funeral
Used to roam on Queen, now I sing Queen Street anthems
Used to hate attention, now I pull up in that wagon
And I was broken, I was broken, I was so broke
I used to roam around the town when I was homeless
Me and Lamar would rob a nigga for his Jordans
And flip it just to get these hoes another nose fix
Now we get faded when we want, girl, we got choices
Lay them on the f**kin' table, we got choices
And if they wanna f**k my niggas, they got choices

[Pre-Chorus]
They told me not to fall in love, that sh*t is pointless
Yeah, that sh*t is pointless
They told me not to fall in love, that sh*t is pointless
Yeah, that sh*t is pointless
They told me not to fall in love, that sh*t is pointless
[Chorus]
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
How I roll, how I get it on the low
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it
I'm that nigga with the hair
Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, f**kin' b**ches, livin' life so trill

[Outro]
Life so trill
(Politickin', yeah)
Life so trill
Life so trill (Life so trill)
(I'm that nigga with the—)
Life so trill
Life so trill (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(life so trill)
(life so trill)
(yeah, yeah)
Life so trill
