Track 6- "Don't Tell"

For those of you who have been keeping up with (RAZOR KiNGS) us. We have been posting songs from our new album "Truth Hurts" with the lyrics and story behind the song. Thanks again to all those who have been following and welcome to all the new people. This is track 6 from the album.


"Don't Tell" features all three of us on vocals. It is an optimistic song about doing things our way. Standing behind what it is that we do and how we do it (obstinate, I know). I think of it as our version of the Bad Brains song "Attitude"
Vashon sent me a demo/instrumental of "Don't Tell" and I instantly wrote the lyrics to it. The melody jumbled around in my head for about a week until the vocals were recorded. We actually recorded this twice. Once in the summer of 08' and then in early 09'. The second version was used for "Truth Hurts"

"Don't Tell"
Don't tell me nothing cause the words you say don't mean a thing to us, no matter time or place. I've got something for you. It's tried and true. Can't sway us off our path or break our concentration. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Cause the words you say) And we'll continue on (don't mean a thing to us) in the same direction. Reach for higher.
Out on the street the only place to get away. Echos of heroes and ghettos in poverty. Property bought out to leave a man without a home. Teach the generations self worth and educate them.
Our world awakens, breaks like dawn. These revelations, called by name to perform before our King. The things we've seen, we've barely seen. This nothingness was foretold but beauty we behold. Planting seeds to watch them grow. And we shouldn't have to see our family bleeding.
Don't tell me nothing cause the words you say don't mean a thing to us, no matter time or place. I've got something for you. It's tried and true. Can't sway us off our path or break our concentration. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
