First song I heard by Tyler the Creator that I liked, mainly cause of the lyrics though.

I believe this song is about one friend's attempt to comfort another friend after a bad drug trip. The lines "When the demon ( "jones" ) is at your door, in the morning it won't be there no more, ( just try to sleep through it or somehow get through it so you can kick this thing)", and "I can tell you all I know: the where to go, (where to attend a meeting), the what to do, (seek outside assistance, go to rehab). You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you,( you're an addict)"
all give away the meaning - in my opinion. Not to mention, the conversational lyric of the title, referring to the fact that any good friend would tell you the truth about what you keep doing to yourself. After all, Steely Dan songs are littered with various drug references.

But, I mean, who exactly are Steely Dan's "Major Dudes"? Made me buy pretzels btw.

Back in the 90's I had a young flame and we'd listen to this song at the county fair. We were a flame of hell.
