1K Phew - I Can't Tell Lyrics (feat. DJ Mykael V, nobigdyl. & Jon Keith)
[Intro: 1K Phew & DJ Mykael V]
Learning from the school like Mr. Feeny
Teach about God, I don’t trust no genie
Every day I tell God to clean me
I don’t wanna catch no heebie-jeebies
(DJ Mykael V)
At this point
If you still snoozin'
I might as well give you another reminder
1... K... Phew!
[Chorus: 1K Phew]
Hoppin' out that bed, I turn it on (Turn it, turn it)
Soon as I wake and pray, I tell that cap to be gone (Wake and pray)
Feel so good in church, it been too long (Been too long)
Devil don't come back, I know what you on (What you on)
We got victory (Victory)
Tryna make sure I don't take no L
They more rich than me (They more rich)
But I can't tell (I can't tell)
Shorty blick with me (Shorty blick)
Reading that Word like I'm in jail
Demons blitzin' me (Blitzin' me)
But I can't tell (I can't tell)
[Verse 1: nobigdyl.]
Ralph Lauren pillow (What you doin'?)
I'm comin' in with big horses (Sheesh)
I'm stompin' on the devil like Kirk Franklin in all black Forces (Hold up, wait)
And I'm covered in the blood, that mean the King gave me an endorsement (Covered in the blood)
And I got that key from Romans 3, let me cite my sources (Let me cite my sources)
[Refrain: 1K Phew]
Learning from the school like Mr. Feeny
Teach about God, I don’t trust no genie
Every day I tell God to clean me
I don’t wanna catch no heebie-jeebies
Model waves, just watch me
Do it, ain't nothin' on TV
I been living this Word
Now the Word on the street just like graffiti
[Verse 2: 1K Phew]
Word on the street is that holiness back
They wanted my soul, they offered them cash
I bought it in bloody and giving it back
I'm up in the sky whenever it crack
I got that oil on me, in fact
Fire from bush and I don't mean I rap
It's a new era, I don't mean I cap
Sword of the Spirit, I don't need a strap
[Chorus: 1K Phew]
Hoppin' out that bed, I turn it on (Turn it, turn it)
Soon as I wake and pray, I tell that cap to be gone (Wake and pray)
Feel so good in church, it been too long (Been too long)
Devil don't come back, I know what you on (What you on)
We got victory (Victory)
Tryna make sure I don't take no L
They more rich than me (They more rich)
But I can't tell (I can't tell)
Shorty blick with me (Shorty blick)
Reading that Word like I'm in jail
Demons blitzin' me (Blitzin' me)
But I can't tell (I can't tell)
[Verse 3: Jon Keith]
Gotta wait your turn at the table, hold your horses
I'ma go Last Supper (I'ma go last what?)
I'ma go full course (Mmm)
And when we step, it gotta be big, it gotta be Norbit (It gotta be Norbit)
I'm high on my ugly, I'm looking like God, I gotta be gorgeous (Hey, yo!)
Everything I say, it's no beanie
Real black sheep in a Lamborghini (Skrrt!)
Pull up to the church, I go John Cena
All black tint, you cannot see me
I got that Bible in my trunk
Threw it in the street like bootleg CDs
Put it on the block (Come on!)
Yeah the Word on the street just like graffiti
[Outro: Jon Keith & 1K Phew]
I'ma roll the top of no GD (Okay)
And I been trippin' since CC— wait
I been trippin' since TC (Wait)
Overtime like IT (Yeah)
Raise God hands on me like it's TSA
I'ma wait on Him like it's GTA
And He coming back, it might be today
Man, hold on, let me just...
(1K Tribe on the move, crazy?)

Lyrical Themes & Meaning
The song's core message revolves around spiritual richness vs. worldly appearance.
- "Can't Tell": The hook emphasizes that while the world might look "richer" financially, Christians carry a spiritual wealth and victory ("victory," "winning") that makes them shine just as bright, if not brighter—so much so that you "can't tell" the difference.
- "Holy Blick": A recurring slang metaphor in the song (and CHH culture) referring to the Bible or the Word of God as a weapon ("Sword of the Spirit").
- Indie Tribe Connection: The feature list (nobigdyl., Jon Keith, DJ Mykael V) is a heavy nod to the indie tribe collective. The chemistry on the track reflects their long-standing collaborative history in the Christian Hip-Hop space.
Verse Breakdown
The track features a high-energy "posse cut" style where the artists trade bars:
- 1K Phew: Sets the tone with his signature "Atlanta trap" flow and the catchy hook about not taking losses ("L's").
- nobigdyl.: Delivers a verse focused on wit and wordplay, often contrasting industry standards with Kingdom standards.
- Jon Keith: Brings a rapid-fire, high-energy delivery to round out the track.
- DJ Mykael V: Provides the curation and hype energy, acting as the "glue" for the collaboration.
