Not Like Me (album version) Lyrics

$1 not $2 tips at open bar
keep it that way
there's nothing wrong with partying
get the drinks going

oh, who's that?
oh, that’s your girl? you with her
she looks like everyone else here

c'mon
they're not like me
(that's a shame)
baby they're not like me
and anyway you know it's not easy
just to come across a girl like jean
oh no

CHORUS:
c'mon it's not likely
and anyway you know they're not like me (so what's up)
and baby you know it's not easy (uh huh)
just to come across a girl like jean
oh no (got a light y'all?)

pardon my composure
saw ya
had to approach ya, move closer
confidence, courtesy of mimosas, framed perfect
like a picture with the sharpest image
from the lips of a cherub cherry red
Henny breath
let me guess

Queens, is ya?
see jean can read by the lean
and the tilt of the cap
and your drink, I'll refilling
I need some good conversation
love
these hood rats be making up the game
plus they ain't even fully developed
insane

so we could start a challenge
and balance most delicate matters
involving plans
including satin and carriages
wait
too far
maybe we could shoot a little hoop ball
or just chill on my stoop
I don't like a lot of hoopla

me and you sedude deuces and spike juices
and stove some backwards roll backwards (?)
and keep it that good
so write your name
oldschool
pen on the back
now what’s a good time tomorrow
I don't stall
Holla back

CHORUS x 2

You see I walk up different on em
Talk slang often
Bought dinner Dutch
while most women do the wallet clutch

Never ask the (?) question
Make jokes interesting
Wear more clothes and let their eyes do the undressing
A little sarcasm, bar savage, tar addict,
Argue about reasonable doubt and Illmatic
Car traffic eyein’
We can walk in summer laughing
Cry when they giggle
split sides and curse
the magic that's in between us boy

Jean a fiend for the love-feeling
we crush dream and after lush green
and a sun shinin and enough beach for a lifetime
and you’re just mine

poppin in at Hathaway
Wonder at (?) and rewind
play a little chess strip
see but nothing
I read a lot
beam you a little sixteen or something
I cook well
sip on drinks and just chill
a malt liquor and MOP
tell me what you feel

CHORUS x 2

See we could be for life even
for nights breathing heavy and steaming
from polite greetings to late at night face smashing
taste passion and race plays baggage
my faith asking to place faith back in and maybe marriage
I hate slackers
Jean love to chill and lay out,
sometimes stay out
We'll find an open bar
I'm not impressed by payouts
So star, display out your cards
We can splay out on the top of cars
And pick the constellations
While playing the Best of the Bards y'all

Making me nod agreeing
Patience is all I'm needing
Face it, I'm not your average girl
Or close to it even
Most original
Entranced by your physical plans
I've got a lot
but we could chill
It's all I ask
(it down)

$1 Not $2 tips at open bar Keep it that way There's nothing wrong with partying Get the drinks going

Oh Who's that? Is that your girl? You with her She look like everybody else in here

[Chorus :] C'mon They're not like me (That's a shame) Baby bet you know they're not like me And everywhere you go it's not easy Just to come across a girl like Jean Oh no

C'mon it's not likely And everywhere you go they're not like me (So what's up) And baby bet you know it's not easy (Uh huh) Just to come across a girl like Jean oh no (Got a light y'all?)

Part of my composure Saw ya Had to approach ya, move closer Confidence or the courtesy of the mimosas Framed perfect Like a picture with the sharpest image From the lips of a cherub cherry red Henny breast Let me guess

Queens, is ya? See Jean can read by the lean And the tilt of the cap in your drink, I'll refill that I need some good conversation, love These hood rats be making up the game Plus they ain't even fully developed Insane

See if we could start a challenge And balance most delicate matters Involving plans Including sitting in carriages Wait Too far Maybe we could shoot a little hoop Or just chill on my stoop I don't like a lot of hoopla

Me and you sedude deuces and spike juices and stove some backwards roll backwards And keep it that good So write your name Oldschool Pen on the back Now what's a good time? Tomorrow? I don't stall Holla back

[Chorus :]

You see I walk up different on 'em Talk slang often Bought dinner on Dutch While most women do the wallet clutch

Never ask the what question Make jokes interestin' Wear more clothes and let they eyes do the undressin' A little sarcasm, bar savage, tar addict Argue about reasonable doubt and Illmatic Car traffic eyin' We can walk in summer laughing Cry when they giggle Split sides and curse The magic that's in between us boy

Poppin in at hathaway Wandering gay and rewind Play a little chess strip see but nothing I read a lot Beam you a little sixteen or something I cook well sip on drinks and just chill A malt liquor and MOP Tell me what you feel

[Chorus :]

See we could be for life even For nights freed and heavy and steaming From polite greetin's to late at night face smashin Taste passion and race plays baggage my faith asking to place faith back in and maybe marriage I hate slackers Jean love to chill and lay out Sometimes stay out

We'll find an open bar I'm not impressed by payouts So star, display out your cards We can splay out on the top of cars And pick the consolations While playing the Best of the Bards y'all
