It Takes More - Nash Band Remix (Clean Acoustic Version)
The shit that you promote
Fighting, violence
Like you don't want to grow
You're talking so much sex
But you not tell the youths bout AIDS
And you not tell them bout consequence, no
Your talking like you a G
But you are killer killing your own
Your just a racist man's pussy
Tell me who wants to know
What when who where
Or how you lose control
Certainly not me
Certainly not me
'Cause baby personally
I like to be challenged mentally
I've heard it all before
Gangsta's pimps and whores
Quality is poor
A girl like me needs more
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (they've got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit that's happenin' to us
Now who gives a damn
About the ice on your hands?
If it's not too complex
Tell me how many African's died
For the baguettes on your Rolex?
So what you pushing a nice car?
Don't you know there's no such thing as superstar?
We leave this world alone
So who gives a fuck about the things you own?
Certainly not me
Certainly not me
'Cause baby personally
I like to be challenged mentally
Your bullshit's insignificant
And it don't help to pay my rent
It's pure negativity
That you impose on me
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (They've got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit that's happenin' to us
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (They've got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit thats happenin' to us
Now I could sit and chat shit bout dicks and sex
But my business is my business I got self respect
I could talk bout how my press could pimp mans doe
Get the keys to his ride and his home
But I looked it up and that would make me a hoe
Little sisters now I really gotta let you know
Real women ain't sexin' for no man's doe
Real women work hard to make their own
And we can all chat bout gats and blacks on blacks
Enforce the hypes and all the stereotypes
But youths are watchin that ain't what I'm here for
Show 'em to think higher and aspire for more
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit thats happenin' to us
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
