Raise No Fool Songtext
von Set It Off

I′m wearing rose-tinted shades but
All I see is shades of my imagination covered in red
A crooked smile and some fake love
Put me in these handcuffs
Threw away the keys 'cause I was a threat

Well, first you try to tell me that we′re family
Then you try to tell me that it's for the best
You promise that you'll be there if I need you
But I don′t need your handout, you can take it back

I won′t be used
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging, no more

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh
Won′t let you leave me hanging, no more


Mm, I got a pain in my backbone
Where'd you get that knife from?
Why the hell is it so covered in red?
I let you walk into my home
Let you make it your own
You tried to tear it down and
Leave me for dead

Well, first you try to tell me that we're family
Then you try to tell me that it′s for the best
You promise that you′ll be there if I need you
But I don't need your handout, you can take it back

I won′t be used (no, no)
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging, no more

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more

Ladies and gentlemen
If you′re sick of being disrespected
Let me hear you sing it, go


I don′t wanna feel
Like my money that you're spending
No, I don′t wanna feel
Like I'm losing ′cause you're winning, baby
I don′t wanna feel
Like my money that you're spending
No, I don't wanna feel
Like I′m losing ′cause you're winning

And I won′t be used
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging

I won't be used
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won′t let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose
My mama didn′t raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh (whoa)
Won′t let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh (no more, no more)
Won't let you leave me hanging
Won′t let you leave me hanging
Won't let you leave me hanging
