She Said I'm Hood Tho
She said "I know, I know, I know your musicI prefer your old shit to your new shitThat song with Pitbull, it was kinda coolBut after that, you went left and I couldn't fuck with you"Well damn, couldn't help but appreciateThat she was bold enough to say this to my faceShe even went as far to give me her Twitter nameShe said, "I tweeted you and told you the same thing"But, she said, "I never thought I'd meetAnd you cuter in real life than on TVYou a celebrityYou could have any girl you want, what the hell you want with me?"
[Chorus:]I told her, "Baby, there is a differenceBetween what you really want and what you can getI can have anything, but I don't want just anythingI want you tonight, I want you
I said, "You got, you got, you got me twistedWhat my celebrity got to do with it?Just cause I can have don't mean I want them chicksI take quality over quantity any day, you dig?"She said, "I'm hood though, Ne-YoAnd I know you be on your goody good though, Ne-YoGet ratchet, yes I could, though, Ne-YoMess up your image, I probably would though, Ne-Yo"I said, "You don't scare meThe word "gentleman" starts with "G""She said, "You a celebrityYou could have any girl you want, what you want with me?"
[Chorus]
Now that she sat there, lookin' at me like she wasn't sureQuestionin' my intentions, why and what forThinkin', "He can have actresses, singers or models galoreI work in a nail shop, every day in that bitch from 8 until 4"Shawty's a rose that grows through the cracks in the concreteHer mother's body but her brother's knowledge of the streetKick all you beautiful lies, shawty ain't goin' for 'emShe type stubborn, like her daddy, but she don't know himGot me feelin' like I ain't good enoughI ain't a D-boy or a thug so I ain't hood enoughOr maybe it's the other way around and shawty's self esteem is downNot good enough to wife but good enough to fuck, nah mamaI'm really tryna get to knowWhat's under your garden, not just what's under your clothesYou feel me?And don't concern yourself with status, I don'tIt ain't about what I can have, it's about what I want, you dig?
[Chorus]
