I'm sorry I can't meet your approval
So please keep the hand claps
No need for a compliment

I can pat myself on the back
No dying for an award
You can keep the trophy

I could really care less
Whether any of y'all motherf*ckers know me
Excuse my french, pardon me

I don't mean to steal your shine
Man I'll be in this sun for so long
Lookin' my way will just make you blind

All I need is the love
Cuz I can never have enough of that
You don't have to try to be the man

When you the man

See I'm embedded

And your fifteen minutes are almost up
Socialite
I wish you would roll up

Don't try me I'm not like him
Not like them
I wish you would roll up

I'm not him I'm not like them
Don't try me
I'm not better than that


Form of flattery
You say he sound like me

You say they sound like me
I don't need another whip
A n*gga flyin' now

I see you in the shadow
In motion without a paddle
Stop acting like a girlfriend

Stop acting like a freshman
If you're surprised you're here
It means you shouldn't be here

No heart no glory
No pain no fear
It's one thing to be hot

But that don't make it a career

I'm embedded

And your fifteen minutes are almost up
I wish you would roll up
Don't try me I'm not like him

Not like them
I wish you would roll up
I'm not him I'm not like them

Don't try me
I'm not better than that
But I appreciate the form of flattery

Appreciate the form of flattery
