Fashion Statement Remix

Tell me what are you going for?
Over the top or less is more?
You could have chosen something better than this
But I respect that risk
They say that clothes make the man
I wonder what kind of man I am
Someone losing they're sanity
Dress up the truth like the people won't understand
So concerned about vanity
I know nothing of fashion, I could barely see

But them colors is clashin', they don't look good to me
Don't tell me lies right before my eye- them little fantasies
Just try honesty
Remember when we was babies? Used to drive mama crazy
I ain't seen my friends lately- they all been raisin' babies
Wish I had incredible arms- I'd hug you all at once
Pretend that I see you in stars It get me through the winter months
But I'm gettin carried away- mind been so crazy today
Just couldn't tell from the face, I really been missin' my base
My baby be losin' her faith, her brother keep pushin' that base
Just clean it out, in due time, you won't even notice the stains
I remember when you was just you
Didn't think twice about the things that you'd do
Now you be checkin' what status quo do
If I could just choose from out of the two
Between looking cool and popping out of the blue
Between staying put or them new altitudes-
I would just dig them old clothes out the chute
And lay right back down out the couch wit you
Tell me what are you trying to say
I need to look a certain way?
What are my options here
I want you to watch but
I don't care about the optics
The truth can be so ugly
Cats don't know better than me
Dressed to the nines and damn it I see
Judging my walk before I can be
Never wear shame in repeat
Freshest of vans on my feet
Wool on my eyes to sleep
Now we fumble with time
Putting our love on the line
Why are your eyes so kind?
What is reflecting from mine?
You should come travel with me
Walking with bliss in the sea
Starts with the way that we leap
Dropping this tea as it steep
Look at the way that they creep
They see what you lack
Can you handle that?
Can you taste a fact?
Can you follow tracks?
Man, That took me way out
Fuck out my face now
They talkin real strange now
They dressing for lames wow
Why don't you try to
To look your best while the spotlight is on you
I think the audience is gonna see right through
The face your putting on. They know that it's not true
So curtains up let's start the show
And pray that they will never know
The truth can be ugly, but the colors are true
And I'm trying to be something that's acceptable to you
So stop living lies, you don't have to try
To look good to me
Just try honesty
