[Intro]            
                                 
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
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
                           
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
                                      
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
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)
                           
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
                                                        
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
                                                         
You re acting like you hurt me but I m not even listening,  hey
    
No-ooh-ooh-ooh
                          
You re acting like you hurt me but I m not even listening
       
  Don t kill
                
Don t kill my vibe
   
 Oh...
                                          
You think you re so important to me, don t you?
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)
                           
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
