No Scrubs
The North La Brea All Star Conquistadors Lyrics

A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
A scrub is someone who believes they're cool or attractive, but they're actually not.

And is also known as a buster
A scrub is the same as a buster, a term for someone who can't be relied on or is generally unreliable.

Always talkin' about what he wants
A scrub talks a big game about what they want, but they don't follow through or take meaningful action.

And just sits on his broke ass
A scrub is lazy and doesn't make an effort to improve their situation, often resulting in financial struggles.

So (no)
The singer is making it clear that she wants nothing to do with scrubs.

I don't want your number (no)
The singer doesn't want the scrub's phone number because she has no interest in him.

I don't want to give you mine and (no)
The singer doesn't want to give out her own phone number to the scrub because she doesn't want to be contacted by him.

I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
The singer doesn't want to meet up with the scrub because she has no interest in him.

I don't want none of your time and (no)
The singer doesn't want the scrub to waste her time trying to pursue her because she's not interested.

I don't want no scrub
The singer is repeating that she wants nothing to do with scrubs.

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
The singer is defining exactly what a scrub is - someone who has no chance of being loved by her.

Hanging out the passenger side
The scrub is not even driving - he's just hanging out in the passenger seat of his friend's car.

Of his best friend's ride
The scrub can't afford his own car, so he's mooching rides from his friend.

Trying to holler at me
The scrub is attempting to hit on the singer, but she's not interested.

But a scrub is checkin' me
Even though the singer doesn't want a scrub, she's aware that they are still trying to pursue her.

But his game is kinda weak
The scrub's attempts to impress or woo the singer are not working, and she's not impressed.

And I know that he cannot approach me
The singer knows that the scrub is not good enough for her and doesn't have a chance.

Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
The singer has a high opinion of herself and feels that the scrub is not up to her level or standards.

Can't get wit' no deadbeat ass
The singer doesn't want to be with someone who is lazy or unintelligent.

If you don't have a car and you're walking
The singer is pointing out that she expects a potential partner to have their own car and not rely on others for transportation.

Oh yes son I'm talking to you
The singer is addressing the scrub directly and letting him know that he doesn't meet her standards.

If you live at home wit' your momma
The singer isn't interested in someone who still lives with their parents, as it suggests they're not independent or successful enough.

If you have a shorty but you don't show love
The singer doesn't want to be with someone who doesn't show affection or care towards their significant other.

Wanna get with me with no money
The singer doesn't want to be with someone who doesn't have the financial means to date her or treat her well.

See... if you can't spatially expand my horizons
The singer is looking for someone who can help her grow and learn, not hold her back.

Then that leaves you in a class with the scrubs, never rising
If someone can't add value or growth to the singer's life, then they will remain in the same low class as the scrubs she's describing.

I don't find it surprising
The singer is not surprised that scrubs are pursuing her, as she believes they are below her standards.

If you don't have the G's to please me
The singer expects a partner to have money or financial stability to meet her needs and desires.

And bounce from over here to the coast of overseas, so
The singer is looking for someone who can travel and experience life with her, not someone who is stuck in one place.

Let me give you something to think about
The singer is offering the scrub some advice or food for thought.

Innovate your mind wit' intentions to turn you out
The singer suggests that the scrub should focus on personal growth and self-improvement to become a better partner.

Don't forget the focus on the picture in front of me
The singer wants the scrub to realize that she's the prize and should be the focus of his attention.

Satisfy my appetite wit' something spectacular
The singer expects a partner to exceed her expectations and provide her with something exceptional.

Check ya vernacular, and then I get back to ya
The singer expects a partner to have good communication skills and speak in a way that impresses her.

With diamond-like precision
The singer expects a partner to be precise and accurate in their actions or speech, just like a diamond is cut with precision.

Insatiable is what I envision
The singer wants a partner who can keep up with her constantly growing needs and desires.

Can't detect acquisition from ya friend's Expedition
The singer is reminding the scrub that he can't impress her by trying to show off something he borrowed or doesn't own.

Mister Big Willie, if you really wanna know
The singer is using sarcasm to call out the scrub's ego and make it clear that he's not impressing her.

Ask Chilli, could I be a Silly Ho?
The singer is referencing her bandmate to suggest that the scrub should ask around and see that she's not interested in him.

Not really, T-Boz, and all my senoritas
The singer is saying that she and her friends aren't interested in scrubs, so the scrub should move on.

Is steppin' on ya Fila's, but you don't hear me though
The singer and her friends are metaphorically stepping on the scrub's shoes, but he's not getting the hint that they're not interested in him.
