Biz Markie - I'm A Ugly Nigga (So What) lyrics

rate me

Hey hey hey, know what I heard?

Beauty's only skin deep, ugly is to the bone

Back in the days, I'm not gonna lie

They used to say I'm ugly, a hurting guy

They would crack on my lips, and my powder

Saying I look like yuck without the house or ?Wig Howard?

From junior high to high school they thought I was retarded

Just because the way I looked, they said I farted

I was very very sad and you wonder why

Because my looks and my gear wasn't ultra fly

I wouldn't even attempt to ask a girl out

Cause she get around her friends and began to shout"

"Guess who asked me out to the movies girlfriend

It was Mark, I told him if the world would end"

But my parents told me beauty's only skin deep

If that's true then why do girls think that I'm a creep?

I even joined the football team to get some recognition

But that didn't spark the key in a girl's ignition

They said I'm so ugly I give Anican a headache

Aw man, that is the icing on the cake!

So I kick this to all the girls from houses to huts

I don't care what you think, cause you all are nuts

I'm an ugly nigga, so what?

If you don't like the way I look, you can kiss my butt

I'm an ugly nigga, so what? So what? Ewwwww [x2]

I'm a tell you story that's really bugged

About a guy with a Benz and he's dealing drugs

In the begining before he got his riches

He was so ugly, he gave me the itches

I mean, if you see him, you think I might be kooky

But homeboy looked like, um, God-zooky

I used to crack and joke and say he looked like a star

And everybody laughed when I said "Mon-star"

I can't laugh now because it's a new decade

My guzu-friend got the girls and got it made

I guess having jewels, having money, having a vehicle

Makes you sexy, handsome, gorgeous, and adorable

When you're spending money, giving girls what they want

Behind your back they talk about you say you're ugly and you front

Why do you go to bed with someone that you don't like

Just because they got a nice car like Reverend Ike

It would be wrong if he heard what you're thinking

Thinking that he look like, um, Stinking Jenkins

But let me tell you a secret, he has ESP

And this is what he whispered in my ear to me

I'm an ugly nigga, so what?

Just because I got loot, that's why you give me the butt?

I'm an ugly nigga, so what? So what? [x2]

Let me tell you how poor I was

Dome to the doo, and doo to the dome

For the dome I go to school and for the doo I use a comb

Now people always ask how are these things known

Cause the dome does the doing for things that are done at home

That's why I keep a pick in my knappy fro

And for lunch I eat Ragu with my sloppy joe

But at night I be starving, like Messy Marvin

I get cheap and go settle for the White Castle bargain

They offer me a lot in the army

But I'd rather get it second hand from the Salvation Army

Cause times are getting harder than boot camp

Man I'm so poor I need to print my face on a food stamp

So if my hooptie breaks down, I just have to suffer

And tell Minekie "I'm not gonna pay a lot for this muffler!"

So I keep clear thoughts as the weeks run

But even on the beaches, they call me a beach bum

Something ain't right with me, and that really frightens me

Cause nowadays girls don't even like to sprighten me

Some say I'm embarassing, but I got some comparison

Like if I was on TV, I would be Oscar Madison

Is there another like me? Only God knows

Man I should even rap in church cause I wear holy clothes

But for now I'm just going to do the strut

And this is what I say to girls from houses to huts

I'm an ugly nigga, so what?

Just because I'm poor, that's why you won't give me the butt?

I'm an ugly nigga, so what? So what? [x2]
