[Verse 1]

You shut me down, you like the control

You speak to me like I'm a child

Try to hold it down, I know the answer

I can't shake it off and you feel threatened by me

[Chorus]

I tried to play it nice, but

Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

Don't kill my vibe

Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

Don't break my stride

[Post-Chorus]

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

Don't kill my vibe

(Don't you)

[Verse 2]

You love to tear me down, you pick me apart

Then build me up like I depend on you

But I throw myself from heights that used to scare me

Guess you're surprised, I'm the puzzle you can't figure out

[Chorus]

I tried to play it nice but

Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

Don't kill my vibe

Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

Don't break my stride

I tried to play it nice but

[Post-Chorus]

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

Don't kill my vibe

[Bridge]

Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho

Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho

And oh-oh-oh-oh

You're acting like you hurt me, but I'm not even listenin'

Hey, no-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're acting like you hurt me, but I'm not even listenin'

Don't kill

Don't kill my vibe

[Post-Chorus]

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

[Chorus]

I tried to play it nice but

Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

Don't kill my vibe

Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

Don't break my stride

I tried to play it nice but

[Post-Chorus]

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here

You think you're so important to me, don't you?

Don't kill my vibe
