What I Like About You
Before You Were Punk Vol.1 and Vol.2 Lyrics

Check it out, for those that know me
I have a reputation and people know who I am.

Ya wonder why I always play low key
You might be curious why I'm low-profile.

I know I got people and fans that like me
I am aware of the people who support me.

But all the noise and attention don't excite me
Attention doesn't excite me and I prefer solitude.

So I just lounge and play the D.L
I prefer a laid-back, secretive lifestyle.

In the crib with just me and a female
I stay alone in my home with a woman.

I'm still slick besides the others
I am still more impressive than others.

Cause a player like me
Being a player like me

Yo, I'm smoother than the Isley Brothers
I'm smooth like the Isley Brothers.

When I'm on the scene I get feedback
When I'm in public, I get feedback from people.

Brothers runnin up, wassup, where you be at?
People come up to me and ask where I have been.

I be by myself just coolin
I stay by myself and just relax.

Cause I don't have time to sweat what someone else is doin
I have better things to do than worry about what other people are doing.

Cause their not equal to me
I believe I am superior to them.

I got places to go, money to make, people to see
I have a busy schedule with many obligations.

What'cha gonna do
What are you going to do?

The man is comin through
I'm the man you've been waiting for.

(You got it goin on)
You look impressive.

Hey yo, that ain't nothin new
That's not something new.

But my fame is stressin others
My popularity is causing trouble for others.

So you always got some that always want to test a brother
People always try to test me and start trouble.

But I'm wildin at home kid
I'm wild at home.

I'm straight makin papes, so tell me what ya problem is
I'm making money, so what's your problem?

Ya talk about unity, but when I turn my back
You claim to talk about unity but speak ill of me behind my back.

You talkin about what ya want to do to me
You speak about hurting me behind my back.

Yeah, you could keep riffin
You can keep talking.

I ain't the one, I sent ya home with ya teeth missin
Don't mess with me, or you'll end up with missing teeth.

So stop runnin at the mouth
Stop talking.

Straight up and down
Honestly and directly.

You, you know what I'm about
You know who I am and what I stand for.

I'm out to get dough
I'm trying to make money.

Makin brothers petro
Making other people miserable.

Some suckas don't like me
Some people hate me for no reason.

But I could care less though
I don't care about them.

Cause I'm a command y'all
I'm in charge here.

I'm smackin' brothers up like Puerto Ricans play handball
I'm fighting aggressively.

But I ain't the funny type that joke around, huh
I don't joke around.

I gotta get my money right
I need to make more money.

And I got the right game
I know how to make money.

I'm definitely the wrong man to invite to a dice game
Don't invite me to a dice game.

Cause I got strategy
I have a plan to win.

I'm rollin head cracks, trips
I'm lucky when I'm gambling.

And makin all the brothers mad at me
I'm winning and making people upset.

They might as well give up
They should just give up.

The way I'm takin all the dough, this might as well be a stick up
I'm making so much money that it might as well be a robbery.

Cause it's a mans thing
It's all about being a man and making money.

The way I got things sold
I'm excellent at selling things.

Yo, they can't do a damn thing
They can't do anything to stop me.

Tryin to gain props
Trying to get recognition and approval.

I ain't the one to see
I'm not the person to mess with.

Ya clowns mess around and get played like a drum machine
You're foolish and will be belittled.

You gotta find a better way
You need to find a better way to make money.

I'm pullin everything from your car to your resume
I'm taking everything, including your car and resume.

Cause I don't play clown
I don't mess around.

I'm tryin to get mine
I'm trying to get what's mine.

That's why my face stay frown
That's why I look grumpy.

I don't smile or try to play my foul
I'm not fake or dishonest.

I light your boys like ?tile?
I attack your associates.

Hey yo, you know my style
You know how I am.

So just slow down, cause y'all can't throw down
You can't handle me or my lifestyle.

And y'all can't accept that a brothers makin dough now
You can't accept that I'm making money.

And I'm livin better, true
I'm living better than you.

I makin more noise than the loudest heavy metal group
I'm making a lot of noise and getting a lot of attention.

It's the cool man, brother with the smooth plan
I'm a cool man with a good plan.

That's why I'm seeing more papers than a newstand
That's why I'm making more money than a newsstand.

So peep it, don't try to run and speak it
Listen and don't try to talk over me.

Point blank that keep my way about secret
I keep my way secret.

While brothers is packin still, actin ill
While others are still being aggressive.

I'm on the D.L, with a female
I'm being secretive with a woman.

And I'm stackin bills
And I'm making a lot of money.

How ya livin? Yeah I'm livin swell
How are you doing? I'm doing very well.

Cause a brother like me
Being a person like me.

Yo I'm ringin bells
I'm making a big impact.

No doubt, I got clout
Without a doubt, I have influence.

Ain't no future in frontin
There's no point in lying or pretending.

Yo, you know what I'm about
You know who I am and what I'm doing.

Knockin brothers off
Defeating other people.

Knockin brothers out (3X)
Defeating other people by knockout.

Yo, you know what I'm about(repeat all 2X)
You know who I am and what I'm doing. (repeated)
