"No Scrubs"
A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly, and is also known as a buster. Always talkin' about what he wants, and just sits on his broke ***.
BRIDGE: So (no) I don't want your number, (no) I don't want to give you mine and (no) I don't want to meet you nowhere. (no) I don't want none of your time and (no)
CHORUS: I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me.
Hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, trying to holler at me. I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me. Hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, trying to holler at me.
But a scrub is checkin' me, but his game is kinda weak. And I know that he cannot approach me. Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash, can't get wit' no deadbeat ***.
BRIDGE
CHORUS
If you don't have a car and you're walking, oh yes son I'm talking to you. If you live at home wit' your momma, oh yes son I'm talking to you. (baby) If you have a shorty but you don't show love, oh yes son I'm talking to you. Wanna get with me with no money
Oh no I don't want no (oh).
No scrub. No scrub. (no no) No scrub. (no no no no no) No scrub. (no no) No.
CHORUS [2]
Left Eye:
See, if you can't spacially expand my horizons, then that leaves you in a class with scrubs never risin'. I don't find it surprisin'. If you don't have the g's to please me and bounce from here to the coast of overseas. So, let me give you somethin' to think about. Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out. Can't forget the focus on the picture in front of me. You as clear as DVD on digital TV screen. Satisfy my appetite with something spectacular, check your vernacular. And then I get back to ya, with diamond like precision. Insatiable is what I envision. Can't detect acquisition, from your friend's expedition. Mr. Big Willy if you really wanna know, Ask Chili, could I be a silly ho? Not really, T-Boz and all my senoritas is steppin' on your Filas. But you don't hear me though.
CHORUS [2]
"Unpretty"
I wish could tie you up in my shoes, make you feel unpretty too. I was told I was beautiful, but what does that mean to you. Look into the mirror who's inside there, the one with the long hair. Same old me again today. (yeah)
My outsides look cool, my insides are blue. Everytime I think I'm through, it's because of you. I've tried different ways, but it's all the same. At the end of the day I have myself to blame, I'm just trippin'.
CHORUS: You can buy your hair if it won't grow, you can fix your nose if he says so.
You can buy all the make up the MAC can make. But if you can't look inside you, find out who am I too. Be in the position to make me feel so **** unpretty. I'll make you feel unpretty too.
Never insecure until I met you, now I'm being stupid. I used to be so cute to me, just a little bit skinny. Why do I look to all these things to keep you happy? Maybe get rid of you, and then I'll get back to me. (hey)
My outsides look cool, my insides are blue. Everytime I think I'm through, it's
because of you. I've tried different ways, but it's all the same. At the end of the day
I have myself to blame, can't believe I'm trippin'.
CHORUS [2]
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh. (oh) Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh. (oh)
CHORUS [2]
"Waterfalls"
A lonely mother gazing out of her window, staring at a son that she just can't touch. If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side. But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much. But all the praying just ain't helping at all 'cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble. So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how. Another body laying cold in the gutter. Listen to me,
CHORUS: Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
you're used to. I know that you're gonna have it your way, or nothing at all. But I think you're moving too fast.
Little precious has a natural obsession, for temptation but he just can't see. She gives him loving that his body can't handle. But all he can say is baby it's good to me.
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror, but he doesn't recognize his own face.
His health is fading and he doesn't know why, three letters took him to his final resting place. Y'all don't hear me?
CHORUS
I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms have come and gone. Leavin' trace of not one God-given ray. Is it because my life is ten shades of gray? I pray all ten fade away. Seldom praise Him for the sunny days.
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo the many chances I blew. To bring my life to anew. Clear blue and unconditional skies have dried the tears from my eyes. No more lonely cries, my only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope wit such an endurin' pain. That it keeps them in the pourin' rain. Who's to blame for tootin' caine in your own vein. What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain. You claim the insane, and name this day in time. For fallin prey to crime. I say the system got you victim to your own mind.
Dreams are hopless aspirations in hopes of comin' true. Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you.
