Tell Me What You Already Did

So please don't waste my time kid
(Time kid)
Don't tell me what you're gonna do or what you wanna do
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me to hear about your plans
Just give me the bottom line kid
(Line kid)
Don't tell me what you could've done or what you should've done
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
I need results, I need straight answers
If I wanna fancy fool, look I would've hired a dancer, oh
I don't think you understand
A break like this is hard to find kid
(Find kid)
Don't tell me what you're gonna do or what you wanna do
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me what you already did
(Tell me what you already did)
(What you already did, what you already did)
Tell me what you already did
