Blaque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, boy
I don't mean to be rude
But the way you comin' on
Made me catch an attitude
You wanna know what the deal
But what's up wit' your grill
'Cause you ugly, so please
Stop talkin' junk in my ear
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Yeah, you ugly buy, woo, there's some h**s in here
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Boy, you ugly, so woo won't you disappear
Sorry to hurt your feelings
'Cause boy, you think you are so appealing
You keep steppin' to me, but we will never be
'Cause you ugly so there will be no conversating
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Yeah, you ugly, but woo there's some h**s in here
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Boy, you ugly, so woo won't you disappear
When the lights off
Boy, you look real good
Wanna give you my number
But something tells me don't do it
When the lights come on
And see your face up close
Damn, you ugly as hell
And on top of that you broke as a joke
How dare you walk up
On me like you super fine
As long as it's dark in here
You know every chick is mine
Ain't no way you gon' take me home
Boy, what that hit your face
It must have been a can of mace
I ain't got nothin' to say
Just two words out there Oil of Olay
Boy, just give me some space
Ugly is not a very good case
That outfit is just a waste
'Cause it ain't doin' junk for your face
That's why girls runnin' away
Like roaches when they hear Raid
It might be foul to say
But it's foul for you to look that way
And I don't want your cheddar
I don't care what you say, whatever
'Cause me and you will never be
Damn, I'm so ugly
You, sho' is ugly...ugly...ugly...
Ah...you ugly
Natina on the mic
I'm mad ???, wanna spit first nights
Boy, you make me wanna read in Braille
So I can't even vision givin' love as your gift
Hey, baby, let's politic
Did your mama let you out like this
I know you wanna do me, baby
Yeah, but I'm kinda into cuties lately
Matter of fact, homeboy, let me hook you up
Here's two bucks, go on and get your favorite truck
If you don't mistake my statement for a clown
We can keep it on the down low
Long as you know
Man, you ugly
Oh
Woo
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Yeah, you ugly, but woo there's some h**s in here
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Boy, you ugly, so woo won't you disappear
The song "Ugly" by Blaque is a sassy and bold diss track to a guy who is trying to hit on the singer. The song's lyrics convey that he is unattractive and therefore has no chance with the singer. The chorus of the song tells the guy in question to turn off the lights because in the dark, he may be able to attract some girls but with the lights on he should disappear. According to the lyrics, the guy thinks he is appealing but in reality, the singer perceives him as ugly, and therefore has no interest talking to him.
Throughout the verses, Blaque highlights the guy's unappealing physical appearance, brokenness, and unattractive attire. The singer also states that she will not be conversing with him despite his attempts to win her over. Natina's rap verse further emphasizes the point that the guy is not attractive, and even offers him some money to go and buy himself a truck to increase his chances of finding a partner. The song overall conveys a don't-waste-my-time attitude and highlights the importance of attraction in modern dating.
