The Tongue - Good Looking lyrics

rate me

Hey yo second-hand flows like second-hand clothes

Both ain't worth shit like second-hand blow

I never rocked either at a show

And money is time so keep it moving like a second-hand bro

No, I never claimed to be pretty

Humble like the prostitutes working the johns of the city

Humble like a father of three, working three shifts

Back to back so the trio can eat

But in my life the hero is me

And before the credits roll the crowd needs something to see

You're a working bee on the smallest tree

Thinking a working-class hero is something to be

See those destined for greatness, have no patience

We rise to the top like we were weightless

Fire off a heat-seeker, find ya playlist

Biters get burnt just trying to taste this

So spit your excuse out and make your mess

Your home ain't where your heart is - change address

We side-step the bullshit you just put your foot in

This is how you get good looking!

Toy rappers with a mic? That's a bad look

Taking shots at Jimmy Nice? That's a bad look

Look - I'm a show you how you break this down

This is how you get good looking!

Twenty people at a show? That's a bad look

If your weed won't grow - that's a bad look

Look - I'm a show you how to break this down

This is how you get good looking!

It's Mr. Lup ah, you can trust I'm in the building

Came through looking like a million bucks

Do it for the children but, you know the deal

Say the wrong words man and you will get touched

We looking so good they couldn't believe it

Need a "bad education" they should've repeated

Rappers - I ain't seen their teeth since

We hit the streets like a league secret

No girls at your shows? That's a bad look

Booked acts a joke, promoters are mad crook

But as long as these drop-kicks are putting their hard-earned in

Week after week their insular world it keeps turning

The future's looking real pretty to the point that now they got no choice but to

Deal with me

SS, Tongue, the illist in the city and we

Itching for a mirror cause we're feeling real spiffy!

Clothes that don't fit? That's a bad look

Has-beens talking slick? That's a bad look

Look - I'm a show you how to break this down

This is how you get good looking!

Twenty people at a show? That's a bad look

If your weed won't grow - that's a bad look

Look - I'm a show you how to break this down

This is how you get good looking!

Said I'm a every-day dog walking-player I got em gawking

Falling foe me, it's gotta be the smile

The envy of toy rappers little boy fasion frauds

That lack authority and style and they cramping mine

ElefantTraks and SS tandem

We a handful of freshness, death-threats and ransom

Notes in the form of my raps, trying to buy back the look with the

"New school, new style, new rules"

I'm the Yves St Laurent of these breaks cool like a second hands these days

Over-sized shirts and pants that's not a good look - player please face it

Trying too hard's not a good look

Even if you're good looking or a good cook

Look at me for guidance - the nicest

No more stripes - I'm freshjive

Syd City for life - We looking good!
