Attitude
Eli. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i had a girl and she was ruder than she seemed
always talkin' bad about other queens
yeah, it's not a look to be so downright mean
and when i brought it up to her she said don't mind me

i'm just confident and beautiful and that's on fleek
then a dozen other words from 2016
i'm not one to judge others for the way they think
but maybe being condescending isn't what we need

it's ya attitude
it's ya attitude

everything relies on your attitude
baby, everything relies on your attitude
if you're lookin' down on others then you're being rude
baby, everything relies on your attitude

i had a girl and she was bigger than her dreams
said she wanna be on them magazines
but the weight scale read back 203
said i'm way too big to be pretty

but yo beauty lies in yo attitude
it's the way you treat yourself, baby don't be rude
you are beautiful in and out, and that's the truth
i don't wanna hear that talk comin' out of you

cause everything relies on your attitude
baby, everything relies on your attitude
when you're lookin' in the mirror, stop being rude
cause you were made perfect girl, and that's the truth

i knew a girl and she was probly from my dreams
lifting other people up and smiling
i told her honestly, everything you're doing is astonishing
i constantly am meeting other women who are gossiping

then modestly, she answered back to me in highest quality
the tone of every syllable she spoke appeared so flawlessly
the way she flicked her tongue on every L was not done commonly
i noticed every detail, she was so far from monotony

then suddenly, i find myself imagining monogamy
my company is only one but she does so abundantly
and lovingly, i'm picturing this girl doing some mothering
well first i should just ask her on a date, and she'll say probably

everything relies on your attitude
yeah, everything relies on your attitude




when you wanna fall in love, change your attitude
cause everything in life is an attitude
