[BlackThought]<br />
I'm just playin the wall, I'm just playin the wall<br />
Coolin with my niggaz on the right, hold tight<br />
Late Friday night strobelight shine bright blind<br />
Coolin at this party with the sugars on my mind<br />
It's the sex patrol, the sex patrol<br />
Yeah the young sis was stacked wicked, wanted me to kick it<br />
Said I never dance, made advance outside<br />
Took a glance to expect, Shorty was correct<br />
So it seemed, her name Shavon, age seventeen<br />
I flipped when I seen her eyes, bloodshot green<br />
She said she wanted riches and a nigga with cash<br />
Lex Land' or a Path', didn't know the half<br />
I react to flip the script and get ill<br />
My man Malik B kept telling me to relax<br />
Diggin how you're livin on some unreal high<br />
As I realize -- you're not that fly<br />
<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
So go 'head, witcha self<br />
(repeat 4X)<br />

[Malik B]<br />
Dig it, you see sisters is thinkin that I snooze<br />
She must don't know, I have a sister confused<br />
Thinkin that she's pretty and saditty when I spill<br />
She said, "I might, I think I can, alright I will."<br />
Tossed up was the digits cause the game is like splendor<br />
I said, "Sabrina yea, I met you way back in December; you remember."<br />
She said, "I guess."<br />
Substitute to Santa, she was sittin on the desk<br />
And then she said, "You never called me; Mailk you never tried to press.<br />
You never tried to push the seven buttons and address."<br />
I said, "Hold up sis -- you're out of order, man you lost it.<br />
My name ain't Jake; Malik's no Flake that's Frosted."<br />
Tryin to cause a scene Sabrina's rest is self-redeemed<br />
She thought she was cute, but never made it on my team<br />
I should beam up, about-face fall out<br />
And don'tcha even dare to ask why -- because you're not that fly<br />
<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
So go 'head, witcha self<br />

[?uestlove]<br />
Mmmmmm strollin in my Pumas down the avenue<br />
Not tokin on a J, not sippin on a brew<br />
Saw a soul sister on the streets of five-two<br />
"MMM, my name's Question, ummmm, who are you?"<br />
She didn't respond, she didn't respond<br />
???*MUFFLED VOICE*??? -- Continue on<br />
Thought to myself, should of said a little louder<br />
Bet hurry up before she gets lost in the crowd of<br />
"Excuse me Miss, excuse me miss"<br />
"No, I'm not havin it!" I just got dissed<br />
I didn't get mad, was calm and collect<br />
I didn't call her bitch, I didn't break her neck<br />
Start to wonder why the brothers disrespect the cutie<br />
It's a place of 180's and the high-priced floozie<br />
As she walked away, man I couldn't deny<br />
Started lying to myself, man she wasn't that fly<br />
<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
So go 'head, witcha self<br />
(repeat 4X)<br />

[BlackThought]<br />
Black, butter umm... that's what I be<br />
Had to tell a girl to set her mind free<br />
Use the Third Eye possibly you will see<br />
What you get, with material objects<br />
Wanna be the envy of the whole projects gettin loot<br />
Pretty in your cute limited Express suit<br />
Baby I can see everything you wanna be<br />
See you're gamin as a key to escape poverty<br />
Known to be shown around, sport about her niggaz<br />
Thinkin you a woman cause your ass got bigger<br />
Kickin it to me as if I don't know the time<br />
But I'm the BlackThought, I'm all up in your mind<br />
I figure you the kind to say, "Give me a call"<br />
But then switch to act strange, countin on my change<br />
Pay to the order of who??? Not you<br />
Why? You're not THAT fly<br />
<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
You ain't fly<br />
So go 'head, witcha self<br />
(repeat 8X)
