(Mos Def:)
Hey, you don't like me
That's all right I like me
I got something to say to you
I see you standing on the side
With your smile and
Your crooked eyes
Actin' like a man
But a chick frontin' in disguise
Pokin' on some thicker thighs
Smokin' on a blunt of lies
Tradin' in they badge
For a sash sayin'
"Sucker, hi"
Lookin' at her son now
Probably make a mother cry
Should've listen to that song
Telling you to walk on by
But you didn't
Now you're washed up
Like a cup of Tide
Let me know
I got the heat
When you think
It's time to dry
(Mekhi:)
Who you think
You talkin' 'bout?
Mistaking me for some other guy
Need to buy a watch
'Cause ain't no shorty
Gonna give the time
Day or night, birthdays
Kwaanzas or Valentines
Big talk, really small
But you ain't a friend of mine
You ain't even genuine
Sweeter that a cin-a-bun
(Mos Def (Mekhi:):)
But with five fingers in a fist
I'm deadly as the Pentagon
You don't want beef with Miller
'Cause I'm iller
(Or you because
You 'bout as criminal as killer)
Ooh ha, I see you slick
With the words now
Gash 'cause you got
A chick with curves now
Calm your nerves down
You was locked, Carmen Brown
Jaws had hers now
Scored on the first down
Yeah so get your keys
Out your purse now
Run to your car 'fore
You laying in a hearse clown
(How you sound
Yo you dirtier than jurors now)
(Extortin' all that money thought
You'd have a couple furs now)
Huh, watch your speed
I ain't one to play around
You got your heads
