The Real Her
Lil Wayne Lyrics

People around you should really have nothing to say
Those around you aren't entitled to comment on your life, so do you.

Me, I’m just proud of the fact that you’ve done it your way
I'm impressed by your independence and self-expression.

And the weekends here started it right
The weekend is beginning well.

Even if you only get part of it right
Participation is key, regardless of success.

Live for today, plan for tomorrow
Enjoy life in the present, but be prepared for the future.

Party tonight, party tonight
Enjoy the night, tonight's all about having fun.

Dying to meet your girlfriends
Eager to make acquaintance with your female friends.

That you said you might bring
The ones you mentioned could possibly join us.

If they’re the ones that tell you that you do the right thing
If they, the friends you mentioned, support and encourage you to act rightly.

Houston girls, love the way it goes down
Women in Houston love the way events unfold.

Atlanta girls, love the way it goes down
Women in Atlanta love the way events unfold.

Vegas girls, love the way it goes down
Women in Las Vegas love the way events unfold.

But I gotta say, oh babe, oh babe, why is this so familiar?
This feels like deja vu, I've felt this before.

Just met, already feel like I know the real her
Although we've just met, I feel like I know the true her.

You must’ve done this before, this can’t be your first time
This seems so practiced, it can't be your first time.

We must’ve been here before, it’s still fresh on my mind
I recognize that we've experienced this before, but it's still memorable.

You got that shit that somebody would look for but won’t find
You possess something that many people desire but cannot find.

They keep telling me don’t save you
Others advise me not to help you.

If I ignore all that advice
I may be foolish, but I want to help you.

Then something isn’t right
If I go against the advice, something might be awry.

Then who will I complain to?
I won't have anyone to complain to if things go wrong.

You got your guards up, I do too.
We both have our defenses, but we can work together.

There’s things we might discover
We might come across some surprises.

'Cause you got a past and I do too, we’re perfect for each other
Since we both have histories, we complement each other well.

'Cause to her I’m just a rapper, and soon she’ll have met another
To her, I'm only a musician, and she'll have others soon.

So if tonight’s an accident, tomorrow we’ll recover
If something goes unexpectedly tonight, we'll get over it tomorrow.

And I know I’m not supposed to judge a book by its cover
I'm aware that I shouldn't judge something based on appearances alone.

I don’t wanna be in the blind, but sometimes I Stevie Wonder
I don't want to be ignorant, but sometimes I fail to perceive.

About her, and she with it if I’m with it, and I’m with it
I'm curious about her, and she's interested in me, and I'm interested in her.

I know what makes her smile, but I won’t know what makes her different
I know what can make her happy, but I don't know what sets her apart from others.

Or should I just be realistic? Lipstick on the glass
Or should I face facts? Lipstick stains on the cup.

I know this ain’t your first, but it’s better than your last.
I know you've had previous experiences, but this one is good.

Shower her with dollar tips
Cover her with money tips.

Shawty went and bought a whip
The woman went and bought a car.

Guarantee the city remember your whole name
You'll leave such an impact that the city will remember you forever.

You throw that ho a scholarship
You offered a prostitute a scholarship.

All of them ain't all equipped
Not all of them are prepared or capable.

And this saddens me, I see the pecking order
I feel disheartened seeing how people are ranked hierarchically.

Quote-unquote "bad bitches" work the whole floor
Women deemed "bad bitches" are working the entire room.

Those that get laughed at sit off in the corner
Those being ridiculed sit alone in the corner.

Like a lab rat nobody want her
Rejected like a laboratory rodent.

Niggas that are married don't wanna go home
Married men don't want to go home.

But we look up to them, they wish they were us
We admire their life, but they desire ours.

They want some new trim
They want something new, another woman.

We lust for some trust
We seek honest connections.

Now the both of us are colorblind
Now we both ignore color or race.

'Cause the other side looks greener
Because the other perspective seems more desirable or successful.

Which leaves your turf in the Boise state
This means your area is still in a state of mundane or average status.

Can't see her play or the team, 'cause
Can't see her succeed or her group, because

Everybody has an addiction, mine happens to be you
Everyone has a craving or yearning, and mine is for you.

And those who say they don't
And those who claim they don't have one,

Souls will later on say to them "that ain’t true"
They will realize that they are incorrect.

All of them will have an opinion
Everybody will have an opinion.

But y'all know what you can do with them
But you know you can disregard them.

But if you unsure, I’ll take you on tour
But if you're unsure, I'll take you traveling.

To a place you can stick that in
To a place where you can forget whatever is bothering you.

Well, sitting here sad as hell
Sitting here feeling extremely sad.

Listening to Adele, I feel you baby
Listening to Adele, I empathize with you.

Someone like you, more like someone unlike you
I want somebody different than you.

Or something that’s familiar maybe
Or maybe someone familiar.

And I can tell that she wants a baby
I believe she has a desire for children.

And I can yell "girl that you’re crazy!"
And I can shout, "Girl, you're insane!"

Oh what the hell, nope can't be lazy
Well, why not? No, I can't be lazy.

Please be careful, bitches got the rabies
Please be careful, some women can be ill-natured.
