Hey hey hey, know what I heard?
|
Beauty's only skin deep, ugly is to the bone
|
|
Back in the days, I'm not gonna lie
|
They used to say I'm ugly, a hurting guy
|
They would crack on my lips, and my powder
|
Saying I look like yuck without the house or ?Wig Howard?
|
From junior high to high school they thought I was retarded
|
Just because the way I looked, they said I farted
|
I was very very sad and you wonder why
|
Because my looks and my gear wasn't ultra fly
|
I wouldn't even attempt to ask a girl out
|
Cause she get around her friends and began to shout"
|
"Guess who asked me out to the movies girlfriend
|
It was Mark, I told him if the world would end"
|
But my parents told me beauty's only skin deep
|
If that's true then why do girls think that I'm a creep?
|
I even joined the football team to get some recognition
|
But that didn't spark the key in a girl's ignition
|
They said I'm so ugly I give Anican a headache
|
Aw man, that is the icing on the cake!
|
So I kick this to all the girls from houses to huts
|
I don't care what you think, cause you all are nuts
|
|
I'm an ugly nigga, so what?
|
If you don't like the way I look, you can kiss my butt
|
I'm an ugly nigga, so what? So what? Ewwwww [x2]
|
|
I'm a tell you story that's really bugged
|
About a guy with a Benz and he's dealing drugs
|
In the begining before he got his riches
|
He was so ugly, he gave me the itches
|
I mean, if you see him, you think I might be kooky
|
But homeboy looked like, um, God-zooky
|
I used to crack and joke and say he looked like a star
|
And everybody laughed when I said "Mon-star"
|
I can't laugh now because it's a new decade
|
My guzu-friend got the girls and got it made
|
I guess having jewels, having money, having a vehicle
|
Makes you sexy, handsome, gorgeous, and adorable
|
When you're spending money, giving girls what they want
|
Behind your back they talk about you say you're ugly and you front
|
Why do you go to bed with someone that you don't like
|
Just because they got a nice car like Reverend Ike
|
It would be wrong if he heard what you're thinking
|
Thinking that he look like, um, Stinking Jenkins
|
But let me tell you a secret, he has ESP
|
And this is what he whispered in my ear to me
|
|
I'm an ugly nigga, so what?
|
Just because I got loot, that's why you give me the butt?
|
I'm an ugly nigga, so what? So what? [x2]
|
Let me tell you how poor I was
|
|
Dome to the doo, and doo to the dome
|
For the dome I go to school and for the doo I use a comb
|
Now people always ask how are these things known
|
Cause the dome does the doing for things that are done at home
|
That's why I keep a pick in my knappy fro
|
And for lunch I eat Ragu with my sloppy joe
|
But at night I be starving, like Messy Marvin
|
I get cheap and go settle for the White Castle bargain
|
They offer me a lot in the army
|
But I'd rather get it second hand from the Salvation Army
|
Cause times are getting harder than boot camp
|
Man I'm so poor I need to print my face on a food stamp
|
So if my hooptie breaks down, I just have to suffer
|
And tell Minekie "I'm not gonna pay a lot for this muffler!"
|
So I keep clear thoughts as the weeks run
|
But even on the beaches, they call me a beach bum
|
Something ain't right with me, and that really frightens me
|
Cause nowadays girls don't even like to sprighten me
|
Some say I'm embarassing, but I got some comparison
|
Like if I was on TV, I would be Oscar Madison
|
Is there another like me? Only God knows
|
Man I should even rap in church cause I wear holy clothes
|
But for now I'm just going to do the strut
|
And this is what I say to girls from houses to huts
|
|
I'm an ugly nigga, so what?
|
Just because I'm poor, that's why you won't give me the butt?
|
I'm an ugly nigga, so what? So what? [x2]
