[Watsky, Anderson .Paak - Stand for Something lyrics]
Never been the one to play it cool
I never been a fan of fancy shoes
I only want to stand for something
I don’t care if they approve
They don’t know what I’ve been through
I only want to stand for something
What was I thinking when I headed to SoCal?
Everybody gotta order the low-cal
Or no-cal meal i don't even enjoy guilt
I think the city turned my semen to soymilk
But, I’m a motherfuckin' hypocrite
Acting like I never give a shit
But now I think about it maybe a tad bit
'Cause pretty baby, I be ready to admit
I'm thinking, maybe I will never be Brad Pitt
Want the celebrity? You gotta be bat shit
To want to be a piece of meat
We treat 'em as cold cuts
But go nuts when we see
'em wiping their own butts
And the crowd goes wild
But we don't smile if you got no style
Gotta be kidding me
Giving the pretty people the key to the city
I don't even know
Never been the one to play it cool
I never been a fan of fancy shoes
I only want to stand for something
I don’t care if they approve
They don’t know what I’ve been through
I only want to stand for something
We struttin'
Ain't nobody gotta tell us nothing
Because a rose is a rose and I am what I am
And I wear it like a campaign button
I don't want a side eye i say bye bye
Roll up another one and hand me a Mai tai
Because the people who be running the show
Are kinda like the season how
They come and they go
And we'll be living while
They looking for parking
And we'll be digging while
They woofing and barking
They kicking in the door and
Hoping to barge in but this is what you get
There's nothing to bargain
If it's a hundred to one
And we're under the gun
I'm not gonna be groveling
For the governor's pardon
Don't gotta suck in your gut if
You want to guzzle a Bud
I'm about it, baby, you can party with us
I don’t care if they approve
They don’t know what I’ve been through
I only want to stand for something
I never been a fan of fancy shoes
I only want to stand for something
I don’t care if they approve
They don’t know what I’ve been through
I only want to stand for something
What was I thinking when I headed to SoCal?
Everybody gotta order the low-cal
Or no-cal meal i don't even enjoy guilt
I think the city turned my semen to soymilk
But, I’m a motherfuckin' hypocrite
Acting like I never give a shit
But now I think about it maybe a tad bit
'Cause pretty baby, I be ready to admit
I'm thinking, maybe I will never be Brad Pitt
Want the celebrity? You gotta be bat shit
To want to be a piece of meat
We treat 'em as cold cuts
But go nuts when we see
'em wiping their own butts
And the crowd goes wild
But we don't smile if you got no style
Gotta be kidding me
Giving the pretty people the key to the city
I don't even know
Never been the one to play it cool
I never been a fan of fancy shoes
I only want to stand for something
