about

Featuring Nigerian Afro Beat creator FrankyG, DON’T is the third single from OK Naledi. DON'T is a song about working to hold on to who you are and being proud of who you are. Essentially not changing yourself to please others. Self-love is a beautiful thing

lyrics

Yelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelele
Yelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelele
Yelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelele
Yelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelele

Everyone says we’re a perfect fit
No one ever seems to ever question it
I’m so done with thinning out like this
Why don’t we just go ahead and call it quits

Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve grown up to be
Don’t try to change me I’m cool with the way I can be
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve turned out to be
Don’t try to change me

I don’t know what you’ve been going through
Things just seem so heavy up with you
You said you’ve been talking through some shit
Who’s the one that you’re communicating with

Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve grown up to be
Don’t try to change me I’m cool with the way I can be
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve turned out to be
Don’t try to change me

Seems so easy to talk it all out like this
Make plans and all of the lists so that we don’t miss
One step one move got my foot out the door
Like that in a snap I am feeling much more

I beg No change me , leave my matter
I like the way I be, this one better
You want me to fulfill your dreams
But I’m just building your self esteem
Don’t you don’t you try to, don’t you try to change me
Please just let me be myself, If you want change start with yourself

Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve grown up to be
(If you want change start with yourself)
Don’t try to change me I’m cool with the way I can be
(Don’t you try to change me)
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve turned out to be
Don’t try to change me

Don’t try to change me
(If you want change start with yourself)
I like who I’ve turned out to be
(Don’t you try to change me)
Don’t try to change me (try me, change me)
I like who I’ve grown up to be
