[x4] It's just yea, yea she loves it over here And my most coveted thing is my high self-esteem And the low tolerance for them telling me how to lean See the most important parts are the ones that are unseen See the wings don't make you fly and the crown don't make you king Now God don't like ugly, ain't too happy bout pretty I am ignorance's enemy so stay out of the vicinity of... Yea, Yea the n***as over there Yea, Yea now look at what I wear [repeat chorus]
