Ne-Yo, Candice Boyd - She Said I’m Hood Tho lyrics

She said "I know, I know, I know your music
I prefer your old shit to your new shit
That song with Pitbull, it was kinda cool
But after that
You went left and I couldn't fuck with you"
Well damn, couldn't help but appreciate
That she was bold enough to
Say this to my face she even went as far to
Give me her Twitter name she said
"I tweeted you and told you the same thing"
But, she said, "I never thought I'd meet
And you cuter in real life than on TV
You a celebrity
You could have any girl you want
What the hell you want with me?"

I told her, Baby, there is a difference
Between what you really want and
What you can get i can have anything
But I don't want just anything
I want you, I, I, want you, yeah

I said, "You got, you got
You got me twisted
What my celebrity got to do with it?
Just cause I can have don't
Mean I want them chicks
I take quality over quantity any day
You dig?"
She said, "I'm hood though, Ne-Yo
And I know you be on your goody good though
Ne-Yo
Get ratchet, yes I could, though, Ne-Yo
Mess up your image, I probably would though
Ne-Yo" i said, "You don't scare me
The word "gentleman" starts with "G""
She said, "You a celebrity
You could have any girl you want
What you want with me?"

I told her, Baby, there is a difference
Between what you really want and
What you can get i can have anything
But I don't want just anything
I want you, I, I, want you, yeah

Yeah, yeah now so she sat there
Starin' at me like she wasn't sure
Questionin' my intentions, why and what for
Thinkin', "He can have actresses
Singers or models galore
I work in a nail shop
Every day in that bitch from 8 until 4"
Shawty's a rose that grows through
The cracks in the concrete
Her mother's body but her brother's
Knowledge of the street
Kick all you beautiful lies
Shawty ain't goin' for 'em
She type stubborn, like her daddy
But she don't know him
Got me feelin' like I ain't good enough
I ain't a D-boy or a thug
So I ain't hood enough
Or maybe it's the other way around
And shawty's self esteem is down
Not good enough to wife but good
Enough to fuck? nah mama
I'm really tryna get to know
What's under your guard
And not just what's under your clothes
You feel me?
And don't concern yourself with status
I don't it ain't about what I can have
It's about what I want, you dig?

Baby, there is a difference
Between what you really want and
What you can get i can have anything
But I don't want just anything
I want you, I, I, want you, yeah
