Baba Brinkman - Paraphrase lyrics

Women love me; I like to party I'm makin' money come just by talking And you can't stop me if you've got a problem With my carefree ways Women want me, not just my body I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing And you can't stop me, not with an army That's my paraphrase So why you wanna hate on me huh? Cause I occasionally play a little make believe? So? You can't take leaps patiently You've gotta fake it ‘til you make to the place to be You wanna learn how to dance by watching From the sidelines all night long? Not a chance Balls to the wall with a lot of incompetence Involved is just common sense So come on, little mouse, dive in! Struggle ‘til the cream that you've been strivin' To churn into bu*ter with your bu*terfly swim Turns into something you can thrive in I've been entrepreneurial Long enough to know what every broke musician In Vancouver knows: sometimes it helps To be self-delusional, ‘cause you can go… Women love me; I like to party I'm makin' money come just by talking And you can't stop me if you've got a problem With my carefree ways Women want me, not just my body I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing And you can't stop me, not with an army That's my paraphrase So what are you fakin' huh? Oooh Let me guess, when you're makin' love is it Somebody else's face that you're thinkin' of? Or, wait, are you finances safe enough? Did you buy a better car on your credit card Instead of stickin' that little bit extra in a jar? Just to show the critics that, yes, you're livin' large With the recession and all; just cover it up With a bit less for dinner; you're not like the rest Your perception is different; you know the smart Money bets on a winner, and sometimes you've gotta talk Before you get to deliver, and hey, what do you know? Studies show that everybody Finds your scent more attractive after you've just Had s**, so if you're tryin' to pull Might I suggest a little Eau de Nastiness Women love me; I like to party I'm makin' money come just by talking And you can't stop me if you've got a problem With my carefree ways Women want me, not just my body I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing And you can't stop me, not with an army That's my paraphrase Nobody wants to listen to paraphrase Why not? Hmm, ‘cause they're afraid We'll find out they're broke and their marriage is fake But that's the American way It's just a game, and everybody plays it Academics to intellectual vagrants Acting like the ivory temple is sacred When, guess what? The Emperor's naked! I've heard a few hippies try to say they can opt out Turn on, tune in, and cop out But me I'd rather ride around town with the top down And paraphrase the whole hip-hop sound So go ahead, show some bravado Crack a bottle; better yet, write a novel But never forget that this time is borrowed And you're gonna pay it back tomorrow Women love me; I like to party I'm makin' money come just by talking And you can't stop me if you've got a problem With my carefree ways Women want me, not just my body I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing And you can't stop me, not with an army That's my paraphrase
