It Ain't Me
T-Pain featuring Akon & T.I. Lyrics

Ay, it's for all my cats man
Introducing a message to all the guys out there

Have you ever been in a club and have a chick run up on you,
Asking about the experience of being approached by a woman in a club

And kinda tell you to buy her a drink, home?
Describing a woman asking for a drink

I mean, it ain't what I can do, it what I will do,
Explaining that buying a woman a drink is a choice, not an obligation

And attitude is everything, you know what I'm sayin'
Highlighting the importance of attitude in any situation

I mean, a chick who ask for nothing will get everything
Suggesting that someone who acts low-maintenance can receive more

A chick who ask for everything will get nothing
Stating that acting high-maintenance can lead to receiving nothing

Pain, why don't you talk to these motherfucking broke bitches for a minute, would you
Directing the message to impoverished women out there

You may want a man with some consideration (Consideration),
Positing that some women seek men who are thoughtful

Determination (Determination)
Some women may prefer resolute men

I let conversation (How you Doing Baby?),
Putting an emphasis on how conversation can be key

And you might want a man who just say straight I'm nasty (Straight I'm nasty),
Noting that some might prefer someone who is upfront and sexual

From Tallahassee (It's a hate 5-0),
Referencing the city he's from and alluding to the police

You're far to classy (far too classy),
Suggesting that some women might be too sophisticated

So you might want a little who's got a job (job),
Describing some women's desire for a man who is employed

car (car), clothes (clothes), jewelry (jewelry)
Listing some of the material things that some women might seek in a partner

Girl I just ain't fooling me to you (no), to you (no)
Insinuating that women's superficial expectations are not fooling him

Think I'm that easy shawty, it can't go that breezy shawty,
Rejecting the notion of being a pushover

Find another dude cause it ain't me
Stating that he's not the right guy for someone with high demands

Put you in a Range, buy you expensive thangs
Offering to buy lavish gifts

It ain't me babe, it ain't me, no, it ain't me,
Denying that he will do that

No way, no how, uh uh
Stating his refusal again

Ice out all your fingas take you out and make you famous
Listing more things he could do for someone

It ain't me babe, it ain't me, no, it ain't me,
Reiterating that he won't indulge someone's extravagance

I know you thought you had a sugar daddy
Indicating how someone might have anticipated him being a sponsor

Plan to treat me like a her
Expecting him to be held like a woman's servant

Take my money cause I'm attractive
Believing that he's a source of income because he's good-looking

Then kick me off to the curve
Dismissing him after the money runs out

Climb in fancy restaurants
Going to lavish places for free

Eating expensive audorbs
Eating fancy appetizers

How I'm gonna let you get it all like that
Expressing hesitation about letting someone take advantage

Without the big lip
Demanding that someone have a respectful demeanor

Girl that's my word.
Asserting himself

And if you wanna ride, then I just can't let it slide
Suggesting that he won't tolerate someone taking a ride at his expense

If you plan to get me for all I got, you could start by spending the night.
Demonstrating how much trust it takes to spend money on someone

Otherwise let me see your head get small
Telling someone to humble themselves

Less your head to make the head get tall
Suggesting that one should minimize their ego

If not gonna get lost cause that ain't me
Explaining that he won't put up with someone who is too demanding

(If not gonna get lost cause that ain't me)
Repeating himself

Hey,
Greeting someone

Shawty look so good
Complimenting someone's appearance

So she think I should
Indicating someone expects him to buy her things

Throw dough to her, like it ain't nothing to it
Slang for spending money on someone

Get you whatever you like, I could,
Suggesting the freedom he has to spend money, but with a caveat

But all I be givin' you tonight is just wood
Suggesting he can only offer sex, rather than anything materialistic

Hood, to my heart I do it
Offering sex without any emotion involved

Huge and your attitude just blew it
Criticizing someone's negative attitude

So rude that your mentality is distorting your reality
Reproaching someone's harmful behavior

Actually the more you speak make me think where I'd rather be
Indicating that her speech is driving him away

I don't care if you hiding me, cause I won't sponsor shopping sprees
Expressing an unwillingness to fund shopping trips

It's lot of freaks I could be showing my generosity, to
Amplifying the number of people he could be generous to

Boo, stop it please, I ain't that guy,
Refusing to participate in someone's manipulations

You ain't that fly
Telling someone that they aren't that good-looking

Got your head up your ass that's why
Insinuating that someone is self-absorbed

All you ask for is all I deny
Rejecting a person's excessive demands

I do for you what I decide
Maintaining authority over the type of treatment he gives

And I can buy all kinds of things
Asserting his buying power

Go places, spend all kinds of dough
Emphasizing his command over his money

My kindness is no blindness though
Explaining his rationale for not spending recklessly

T-Pain, where you find this hoe
Asking T-Pain how he found the disrespectful woman

Ha ha, I know what you want me to do
Joking about T-Pain's intervention

[Chorus]
The refrain of the song is repeated several times throughout
