SUEDE
Anderson .Paak Lyrics

Hey, hey (ayy, ayy)
Greeting or acknowledgement.

Yes Lord
Affirmation or agreement.

Uh, smoother than a motherfucker
I'm very smooth or cool.

Suede on the inside
Referring to my personality being smooth like the inside of a suede material.

Candy paint, candy paint
Referring to a candy-colored car.

I ain't gotta tell you what the rims look like
Implying that the rims match the paint job in color or style.

Look, I'm gripping wood like a motherfucker (woo)
Driving while holding onto the wooden steering wheel.

She ask me can her friend ride
A woman asks if her friend can come along for the ride.

Kelly wanna have a drink
Someone named Kelly wants to have a drink.

And shorty wanna pop pills all night
Another woman wants to take pills for a night of partying.

Look, don't be fucking with my tape deck (woo)
Don't touch the music playing in the car.

You gon' listen to this Marvin
Listening to Marvin Gaye's music on the tape deck.

You gon' to listen to this Bloodstone
Listening to Bloodstone's music on the tape deck.

Oh y'all niggas want that Barry White?
Asking if others want to listen to Barry White's music.

Well, I don't really fuck with that right there
Not wanting to listen to Barry White's music.

That could make a nigga act up right there
Barry White's music could make someone act out of character.

Well go and get your rocks off, boo
If you want to listen to Barry White's music, go ahead.

Nah, nah, nah, I don't really do all that, but it's more for you
Not wanting to listen to other music, but others can if they want.

(Come on, yes Lord) I'm far from a pimp, but I'm close to you
Not a pimp, but close to this person.

You fucking with an old soul, twice removed
Having an old-fashioned or traditional mindset.

My pops used to work up on them fighter jets
My father used to work on fighter planes.

Maybe that's the reason I be through (yes Lord)
Possibly why I am the way I am.

Now who the fuck called me a player?
Asking who called me a player (someone who has many romantic partners).

I ain't one these young niggas out here sweating for a pay stub
Not a young person struggling to make money.

I'm a coach, I'ma teach these bitches how to layup
I'm a mentor who will educate these women on how to achieve their goals.

Now most of y'all can't do shit
Many people are not skilled or are incompetent.

But all my chicks cook grits (hey, hey)
All of my women are capable and cook grits (a southern dish).

Uh, and roll a spliff, at the same damn time
Rolling a joint and doing something else concurrently.

You ain't live long enough, to have a bitch this fine
You're too young or inexperienced to have a woman as attractive as mine.

If I call you a bitch, it's 'cause you're my bitch
Referring to a woman as mine, but not intended as an insult.

And as long as no one else call you a bitch
It's only acceptable coming from me and not from anyone else.

Then there won't be no problems, nah
If only I call her that, there won't be any issues.

If I call you a trick, it's 'cause you paid rent
If I refer to someone as a 'trick,' it's because they paid me for sex work.

And as long as you don't call after six
Don't contact me after 6PM.

Then there won't be no problems
If you follow these conditions, there won't be an issue.

She with it, she with it
She's interested and onboard.

Shit, keep it three hundred I ain't even gotta hit it
I don't even need to have sex with her.

All she wanna do is watch a real nigga winning (yeah), nigga
She wants to be around someone successful.

Look me in my eye, there'll be no simping (uh)
Asserting dominance and avoiding being taken advantage of.

Gotta whole lot of women, all of them with it
Having many women who are all interested in him.

My momma said don't trust these hoes, boy be about your loot
My mother warned me about trusting women and to focus on making money.

(True story) Now if my momma told me that, why the fuck would I listen to you?
If my own mother gave me that advice, I don't need to listen to anyone else's opinion.

Never go broke chasing riches
Don't become financially unstable while trying to make money.

But you might go broke chasing every lil' stank-ass ho with a tongue piercing, now
Spending money on every unimportant woman you come across will lead to bankruptcy.
