No Scrubs
Calvo Dazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's also known as a busta
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So no I don't want your number
No I don't want to give you mine and
No I don't want to meet you nowhere
No I don't want none of your time
No I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
Trying to holla at me
Trying to holla at me
Well a scrub checkin me but his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Cause I'm looking like class and he's looking like trash
Can't get wit a deadbeat ass
So no I don't want your number
No I don't want to give you mine and
No I don't want to meet you nowhere
No I don't want none of your time
No I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
Trying to holla at me
Trying to holla at me
Oh no
If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yes son I'm talking to you
If you live at home with your momma
Oh yes son I'm talking to you
If you have a shorty that you don't show love
Oh yes son I'm talking to you
Wanna get me with no money
Oh no I don't want no
No I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
In Calvo Dazz's song 'No Scrubs', the lyrics describe a woman's firm rejection of guys known as 'scrubs'. A scrub is a guy who is always talking about what he wants but does not make any effort to obtain it. These guys usually do not have any money and live off their friends or family. The woman is not interested in any guy who cannot support themselves, those who can't approach her in a respectful manner, and those who have no means of transportation.
The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics "No I don't want no scrubs, A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me, Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, Trying to holla at me". This describes how the guys who are potential 'scrubs' approach her by hanging out the passenger side of their best friend's ride and trying to talk to her. She makes it clear that she is not interested in them and she does not want them to bother her.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 1999 by the American R&B trio TLC, and was written by Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Kandi Burruss, and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. The song became very popular and was included in the group's album 'FanMail'. Another interesting fact is that 'No Scrubs' was written to empower women to be more selective in their romantic partners, and to demand more respect from men. The song was a huge commercial success, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks in a row.
