If I Were a Lame
Wiz Khalifa · Other Songs - Wiz Khalifa
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)
