If I Were a Lame

Wiz Khalifa · Other Songs - Wiz Khalifa

If I were a lame

Only just for a week

I'd look myself in the mirror

And shoot the first thing I seen

No honestly I'd try to find someone else

And I'd make it seem like it's his fault

That I'm broke and can't get on

And he's doin s*** I can't do for myself.



[Chorus:]

If I were a lame

I'd probably understand

How it feels to hate myself so much

I gotta hate anotha man

S*** I'd say that I'd

Should be right in his place

And talk s*** behind his back

When I'm smilin while I'm in his face

Cause I'm just a lame.



If I were a lame

I'd talk s*** to the hoes

Like you shouldn't f*** with that nigga

He ain't rich

I heard he really broke

I would get on a song

And talk as bad as I can

Bout how I wish I'd catch him slippin'

How his mixtapes don't be s***

And how I'm gone end his career

But I'm his numbah one fan.



[Chorus:]

If I were a lame

I'd probably understand

How it feels to hate myself so much

I gotta hate anotha man

Shit I'd say that I'd

Should be right in his place

And talk s*** behind his back

When I'm smilin while I'm in his face

Cause I'm just a lame.



It's killin me how niggas act anytime I come around

No matter how much I do for myself

They wanna bring me down

But I juss gotta do me at the end of the day



Cause I'm not a lame

So I can't understand

How it feels to hate myself so much

I gotta hate another man

No it ain't my fault

My s*** flies off the shelf

So stop tryna be somebody

And worry about juss bein yourself

If you could juss be yourself

And don't be a lame

(Lame ass negroe)

No don't be a lame

(Lame ass negroe)
