[T-Pain]
Yeah, Yeah

[Intro: T.I.]
Hey, it's for all my cats man
Have you ever been in a club and have a chick run up on you,
And kinda tell you to buy her a drink, home?
I mean, it ain't what I can do, it what I will do,
And attitude is everything, you know what I'm saying
I mean, a chick who ask for nothing will get everything
A chick who ask for everything will get nothing
Pain, why don't you talk to these motherfucking broke bitches for a minute, would you

[T-Pain]
You may want a man with some consideration (Consideration),
Determination (Determination)
I let conversation (How you Doing Baby?)
And you might want a man who just say straight I'm nasty (Straight I'm nasty)
From Tallahassee (It's a hate 5-0)
You're far to classy (far too classy)
So you might want a man who's got a job (job), car (car), clothes (clothes), jewelry (jewelry)
Girl I just ain't fooling me to you (No), to you (No)
Think that I'm that easy shawty, it can't go that breezy shawty,
Find another dude cause it ain't me

[Chorus: T-Pain]
What you in a rain, buy expensive things
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me, no, it ain't me,
No way, no how, uh uh
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me, no, it ain't me,
I saw all your fingers take you out and make you famous
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me, no, it ain't me,
No way, no how, uh uh
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me, no, it ain't me

[Akon]
I know you thought you had a sugar daddy
Plan to treat me like a her
Take my money cause I'm attractive
Then kick me off to the curve
Climb in fancy restaurants
Eating expensive ourdevours
How I'm gonna let you get it all like that
Without the big lip
Girl that's my word.
And if you wanna ride, then I just can't let it slide
If you plan to get me for all I got, you could start by spending the night.
Otherwise let me see your head get small
Less your head to make the head get tall
If not goin' get lost cause that ain't me
(If not goin' get lost cause that ain't me)

[Chorus]

[T.I.]
Hey,

Shawty look so good
So she think I should
Throw dough to her, like it ain't nothing to it
Get you whatever you like, I could,
But all I be giving you tonight is just wood
Hood, to my heart I do it
Huge and your attitude just blew it
So rude that your mentality is distorting your reality
Actually the more you speak make me think where I'd rather be
I don't care if you hiding me, cause I won't sponsor shopping sprees
It's lots of freaks that I could be showing my generosity to
Boo, stop it please, I ain't that guy,
You ain't that fly
Got your head up your ass that's why
All you ask for is all I deny
I do for you what I decide
And I can buy all kinds of things
Go places spend all kinds of dough
My kindness is no blindness though
T-Pain, where you find this hoe
Ha ha, I know what you want me to do





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song β€œIt Ain’t Me” by T-Pain featuring Akon and T.I. speaks about men being approached by women in nightclubs and being expected to buy them expensive drinks, clothes, and jewelry. The lyrics explain that some women have unrealistic expectations and believe they are entitled to luxuries without putting in any effort. T.I. opens the song with a monologue about women asking for too much and Attitude being everything. T-Pain then addresses the women, stating that he is not interested in allowing them to take advantage of him. He explains that some women want a man who is considerate, determined, and provides for them, and some want a man who is straight-up and nasty.


The chorus emphasizes that the men will not be providing for these women, as the women’s expectations are beyond what the men are willing to give. The lyrics suggest that women who do not ask for much are more likely to receive what they want rather than women who ask for everything. Akon uses his verse to shed light on sugar babies and how their expectations of the men who provide for them are often unrealistic. He warns that he will not be spending his money on women who have no intention of returning the favor or spending the night with him. T.I. closes the song by asserting that women should not expect to take advantage of him and that he would do for them what he decides to do and not what they ask for.


Overall, the lyrics of β€œIt Ain’t Me” exhibit a message of transparency and personal boundaries. The song emphasizes the importance of good communication and having realistic expectations. The men in the song stand firm in their stance and refuse to succumb to societal expectations of providing luxuries for women. They suggest that women should learn to appreciate what they have rather than always expecting more.
