Can I please have your attention
I'm here to inform you of some breaking news
I'm not lost, confused, or concerned for clues
I'm on Xs and Ys
So far from threes and twos
Unless it's exponential
While I unmask excellent potential
See the hood is still my residential
And I apologize for the mixed messages that I sent you so
Attention! This is some news you cannot miss
I'm not pimp dough boy or thug
I…
I just look like this
A product of genes split
Mixed with a few dreams ripped
Simmered slowly over the fire of chances taken like coins flipped
And Sh*t…
Now I just look like this
And that's what I was trying to explain
When he asked me for my name
I said...
"My name is Gerald it's very dull and plain
No rims to tint no bang
No sir it won't happen again
Just let me make it on that ticket
I'm on my way to work I'm trying to get it
And when I say work I don't mean "work"
Cause me and jail we just don't mix
And we won't mix
And you can search my car but I'm in a rush and s**t
And moreover and most of all
I…
I just look like this”
See I didn't portray the message that I meant to
And I'm sorry for the mixed messages that I sent you
It's just because of all the bull s**t that I've been through
I'm not too fly too smug or too coo
Naw, I just look like this
And see my swagger makes 'em mad
'Cause I'm walking on cloud nine
And this really isn't personal
It's just the s**t I left behind
Has got me feeling accomplished
I mean, I'm really getting ahead
And now I smoke for fun and not just to clear my head
So I apologize if I'm stepping on your toes
I'm not that bold or throwed Lord only God knows
That I just look like this
And I hate to see you pi**ed
But "♫ I got a big ego ♪"
That's why I walk like this
And that's why she's walking like that now
And I'm talking like this now
Because I've learned that sometimes…
It's better just to back down
So if my stance offends you
Some words of wisdom I will lend you
Just mind the things you tend to
And I'll pretend I don't mind you
See this is real and this is true
I can lead or I can follow
And I can guarantee I'm not week nor plain nor hallow
No
I just look like this
And I walk like this
And I talk like this
And I say phrases like "What it wuz cuz?"
And "It went down!" and "Aye!"
And I mean the words I say
But my intelligences is immaculate
And it keeps the haters at bay
So I'm here to inform you of some breaking news
I'm not lost confused or concerned for clues
I'm on Xs and Ys
So far from threes and twos
Unless it's exponential
While I unmask excellent potential
See the hood is still my residential
But I…
I just look like this!
