Oddisee - Mr. Nice Guy lyrics

[Intro : Kenn Starr] They say that nice guys always end up finishin' last You can take a minute and laugh i admit it's a fact Because i can vouch and attest to that There's two different sides to every story this is just the facts [Verse 1 : Kenn Starr] Too many times they mistake kindness for weakness Too many times others blind and couldn't see this Figured it out couldn't believe that the way that i treat 'em Is the reason i've been gettin' negative feedback And i don't need that especially since I ain't frontin' like i'm a pimp in a desperate attempt Of impressin' my friends or validatin' my manhood I guess i don't treat them as good as another man could You know the type of dude that go out of his way To neglect or disrespect call you out of your name Treat you like a piece of meat have you life on a leash Basically a n***a nicer than me? ho he having ya With the type would like to choke or slap you up Actin' tough till you pack it up cuz you had enough Now you callin' me crying on my shoulders Knowin' where you supposed to be Cuz i told ya [Hook : (Wayna)/Kenn Starr] (just keep on searching) Now i know what you're searchin' for (tired of hurting) Feelin' like i deserve more (certain to come first) Can you argue with these white lies? (mr nice guy) Its what i get for bein' a nice guy (just keep on searching) Now i know what you're searchin' for (tired of hurting) Feelin' like i deserve more (certain to come first...) Can you argue with these white lies? Its what i get for bein' a nice guy [Verse 2 : Kenn Starr] My status ain't hood and a n***a ain't street But i still hold you down ain't like a n***a sweet For me its kinda bug i don't get it shorty want a thug But she don't want everything that go along wit' it Gettin' long winded yea i'm kinda relaxed though But don't mistake that for me lackin' a backbone Thinkin' you all that treating me like a doormat Forced to reorganize my thoughts and fall back then Develop a new game plan and strategy rapidly Became a changed man and now you mad at me, why? I'm just adaptin' to your previous actions Rather leave it alone then get heated and have hits Cuz i'm not meetin' your standards and criteria I feel like you been taking advantage so why should i jus' Sit around and take it i never appreciate it Introducin' complainin' if i don't intend to change it [Hook : Wayna/Kenn Starr] So now i'm at a point where my attitude changed up Things i criticize now i'm doin' the same stuff Feelin' like a hypocrite cuz i went a different route Tryin' to figure out if my intention is legitimate Leadin' girls on and leavin' they worlds torn Spit game work like a charm it became the norm And i became the opposite of the name of the song Let them all think whatever they want playing along But i'm big enough to say that i'm wrong its too late Cuz i'd of became the same type of kinda n***a i hate The type of n***a that's fake not being true to myself And changed due to the anger towards you that i felt Lettin' my past dictate the decisions i make But it wouldn't be fair to say that you made me this way So maybe i can't place all the blame on you Change my views my days playin' games is through [Hook : Wayna/Kenn Starr]
