Keke Palmer - So Uncool (2007) by Keke Palmer (보컬) on maniadb.com

Verse 1

Listen up, turn your box up, gather all around
This one's strictly for the ghetto
Some of y'all recognize, some of y'all won't
Better pay attention and listen close
There was an old lady who lived in my hood that sold freeze pops for a quarter
Had so many kids that I lost count, more sons than she had daughters
And every night before they would fall asleep

They would pray for shelter and food to eat
But the landlord huffed and blew the house down and now they out on the streets

And now she cleans, she mops the tears they drop
The only sound that drowns it out comes from my music box

Chorus

So just let the music play (Play)
Don't let it stop (No)
It ain't easy growing up in the hood but I got my music box
When the sirens sound, wind it up
Or the shots ring down, just wind it up
cause I got my music box

Verse 2

There was an old man, he lived in the hood
Had rubber bands, dimes, and quarters worth a block put him away
Left his wife and kids and a sexist teenage daughter
Couldn't shake the reflections, starved to perfection
I've seen it all before
Now she ignores the advice of a kid folk
Tell her stay home, but she creeping out the back door

And now she pays the cost, young girl so lost
I feel your pain, try to maintain
Wind up your music box

Chorus

So just let the music play (Play)


Don't let it stop (No)
It ain't easy growing up in the hood but I got my music box
When the sirens sound, wind it up
Or the shots ring down, just wind it up
cause I got my music box

Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da

Bridge

This hood situation's got me sick
Call the doctor quick, quick, quick
Doctor, doctor will I die (Na na young girl just let the song play)

Chorus

So just let the music play (Play)
Don't let it stop (No)
It ain't easy growing up in the hood but I got my music box
When the sirens sound, wind it up
Or the shots ring down, just wind it up
cause I got my music box

Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da

Cause I got my music box

Da Da Da
Da Da Da

My music box

verse 1
they made it clear there ain't no doubt
they don't know about the way i feel for you,
they say one day i'll understand,
but they don't even know you,
always talking so much about yesterday,
but you can tell it by the look on the face,
tell me remember nothing (nothing)
now having something (having something)
that one phone call was enough
go ahead and ask us

chorus
do any of you even remember that first crush?
do you remember back in the day, when your mama said,
some day when you're grown, and you got your own,
and though i knew what was best for you,
and i'm telling you,
then you must not remember your first crush

verse 2
not like i don't appreciate, all the ways you try in protecting,


but i just wish that some day, you'd open your eyes and see,
(that you probably are right)
that you probably are right, don't worry, got my mind on right,
so it ain't a thang (ain't a thang) nooo
you gotta trust me, i'm feeling you, feeling you
but can you remember?

chorus

hook
do you remember, do you remember, back in the day when you know it? (you fall in)
do you remember, do you remember, knew it the minute you saw him?
do you remember, do you remember, back in the day when you know it? (you fall in)
do you remember, do you remember, knew it the minute you saw him
do you remember oh

chorus

you don't remember it no, not even your first crush,
you don't remember it no, not even your first crush,
do any of you even remember that first crush?

Verse 1

They see me on the cover of a magazine
And when the player rolls on the big screen
So what about they running up to me
Like hey girl don't you remember me
We used to hang together back in middle school
I'm thinking yeah that's great, but who are you
They seem to ask the same questions every time
And I help em' out, help em' out, bring em' round'

Chorus

You try and pretend like you really know me cause
You wanna try and get something from me but I know what's up
You wanna friend me up (Oh Oh Uh No)
You wanna friend me up (I don't think so)
You wanna friend me up (You say don't front)
You wanna friend me up (Oh Uh)
You wanna friend me up
You wanna friend me up (Oh Oh Uh No)
You wanna friend me up (I don't think so)
You wanna friend me up (You say don't front)
You wanna friend me up (Oh Uh)
You wanna friend me up

Verse 2

You say you like my style, personality
And you wanna try and get to know more bout me
I'm different from other girls, not like the rest


And if time was a star,
Then all of a sudden you start changing, rearranging, oh you were
And then you start doing things so peculiar like it could have used me cause I'm a star

Chorus

Bridge

Don't pretend that you're my friend cause I can see that you're trying friend me up
Don't pretend that you're my friend cause I can see that you're trying friend me up

Chorus

You try and pretend like you really know me cause
You wanna try and get something from me but I know what's up
You try and pretend like you really know me cause
You wanna try and get something from me but I know what's up
You try and pretend like you really know me cause (No ooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh)
You wanna try and get something from me but I know what's up (Nooooo)
You wanna friend me up (Oh Oh Uh No)
You wanna friend me up (I don't think so)
You wanna friend me up (You say don't front)
You wanna friend me up (Oh you wanna friend me up)
You wanna friend me up (Oh Oh Uh No)
You wanna friend me up (I can see that you)
You wanna friend me up (Don't front)

You You You You wanna friend me up

I know there is something that I'm feeling
But I can't quite put it into words
It's got me hopin hopin that you feelin it too
Cause for me it's a first
Does anyone truly understand what real love is about
Don't say I'm too young to know what's real
My heart skips a beat
I can hardly breathe
Every time that he comes near

It's so amazing almost crazy how
I'm thinkin bout you lately
Tell me how in the world did it come to this
It took me by suprise
When you opened my eyes
To hopefully show me what love is

How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love

How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love

Somebody tell me
Will I ever know
Somebody tell me
Will I ever know

If it aint love
Then tell me why am I always searching for excuses to call
And if it aint love
Then tell me why am I always hopin' to see him in the halls
And if it aint love
Somebody tell me why I lie awake at night starin' at the walls

And if this isn't love
Then I don't really need it cause I'm happy here with no love at all

It's so amazing almost crazy how


I'm thinkin bout you baby
Still I don't really know if this is real
I want you so much more
But I'm unsure if this is true love
That I feel

How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop (everyday, all day)
I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love

How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love

How will I know (yeah)
How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop (everyday, all day)
I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love (How will I know I'm in love)

How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love

How will I know
Could it be the butterflies I feel whenever I'm with you
How will I know
Or the way I'm at a loss of words I can hardly keep my cool
How will I know
Everyday now stop stop stop I keep thinkin bout you
How will I know I'm in love

1st Verse

We were so close, like to swords in one heart.
But you're giving me this feeling that we're drifing apart.
You don't come to me like you use to, and I don't cry on ya shoulder.
I'm trying to understand this before darkness takes over.

Bridge
Did we lose touch cause' I didn't show you love. Did I say to much, or didn't I say enough? Did I let you down last time you came around? I hate to see you pull away.

Chorus
It's like our rainbow's fading to black and white. And I just don't know what we have to fight. Do we have a problem, can we resolve it, is it something that we gotta talk about, can we figure it out? Cause' if we can't work it out make it right our rainbow's gonna turn to black and white.



2nd verse
The distance between us is growing everyday. Feeling up with words we had no chance to say. What we had was like magic, we always thought the same thing.I'm afraid we might lose that, the colors are always changing.

Every color disapears when you're not here. Can we resolve it, we gotta get over it

Move your hips, do your thang
Get off the wall, don't matter what they think
From your fingertips, to your toes
You know you hott, so let everybody know
Gotta take it low, to the floor
From The Hills to the streets of the ghetto
Hips don't lie, so move 'em up
We ain't gon' stop, till we see everybody's bottoms up

Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3) ("Bottoms up, y'all!")
Bottoms up (x3)

Miss KeKe P, looking extra glossy
Got a style, lookin' extra flossy
"I'm bossy!" But I keeps it cute
stutter, shades on, and a tree in my roots
I got the Shy-Town and I rocks it full
"Yes, Mudville!" baby, we don't take no bull
We keep it rockin' when we move our hips
Do that old skool stunt when we make it dip

Move your hips, do your thang
Get off the wall, don't matter what they think
From your fingertips, to your toes
You know you hott, so let everybody know
Gotta take it low, to the floor
From The Hills to the streets of the ghetto
Hips don't lie, so move 'em up
We ain't gon' stop, till we see everybody's bottoms up

Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3) ("Get your bottom's up!")
Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3)

Keep it movin', man. Keep it poppin', man
I'm making the rules, Gotta catch me when you can


Might see my face on the movie screen
Hypnotize you, frame by frame, scene by scene
Staying fly while I keep it fresh
Only thirteen- and I ain't even close yet
Sittin' back, saying this a hit
While you swing side to side, and move your hips

You got some swagger? Better let 'em know
You got some swagger, better let it show
...
...

Now bob your head, then look away (x3)
Now bob your head, then look away (x3)

Move your hips, do your thang
Get off the wall, don't matter what they think
From your fingertips, to your toes
You know you hott, so let everybody know
Gotta take it low, to the floor
From The Hills to the streets of the ghetto
Hips don't lie, so move 'em up
We ain't gon' stop, till we see everybody's bottoms up

Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3)
Bottoms up (x3)

You got some swagger? Better let 'em know
You got some swagger, better let it show
...
...

Now bob your head, then look away (x3)
Now bob your head, then look away (x3)

"This Miss KeKe P, rocking the NYC"

What up
What up
Listen

What you starin' in the mirror for
Tellin' yourself ya ugly
What you wearing those high heels for
When they're torturing your feet (you know they're killing you)
Why you puttin' all that make-up on
Hiding your pretty face (Uh uh)
Blowin' all your money in that salon
Tryin' to find ya place (no)

In this world you fit in
Or you're out and you're made
To believe
That this is what it's all about

And don't you know
Real beauty shines from within
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think
That you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep
oh oh yeah yeah

Why you flippin through the magazine
Trying to be those girls (well stop it)
Gettin' all frustrated
But it's not the end of the world (its superficial)
So what if you can't get into a size three
You're beautiful to me (beautiful to me)
Stop trying to be Tyra's top model
Girl go and find your own way to follow

In this world you fit in
Or you're out and you're made
To believe
That this is what it's all about

And don't you know
Real beauty shines from within
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think


That you are incomplete
But looks are all your skin deep

From the side walk
To the boardwalk
To the cat walk
Don't talk
About the way you walk
But it's not your fault
So if the girls talk,
Watch you like a hawk
They love to hate
And they can't wait
To get inside
And make you cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Just let 'em know
That you made ya own
Now being you is not all wrong
Do ya thang
Let your light shine
They'll come around
In God's time

And if they don't
Just let it be
When they stop being shallow
Then they'll see
Girl, I'm tellin' you (Come on!)

Just be your self!

In this world you fit in
Or you're out and you're made
To believe yeah
That this is what it's all about

And don't you know
Real beauty shines from within
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think
That you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep
Oh Ohh
Yeah

Spoken:
Just givin' you a wake up call

At the crib, eatin' pizza
Coolin' it down while we watch a movie
Don't need no moms and dads
We got it covered
Cause we know exactly what we're doin'

You don't wanna miss out
Hanging out all alone
While we're havin' a party
Home alone we shot


So here's an invitation

You know it's party time
I'm hanging up behind
It's the party of the year
I'm so glad it's mine
Ladies drive through
Fellas come too
You see the videos
You know what I'm about to do
Set the bigger fire
Got the bigger wire
Got'cha singing like the Harlem boys' church choir
Yeah, you know what's up
I see you gettin' buck
But before we get started,
You gotta wake up

I'm giving you a wake up call
Wake up, wake up
Just to say that I love you
And that I'm thinking of you
Lettin' you know that you've got friends

I'm giving you a wake up call (Oh)

Of the rest of your li-ife

Wake up, wake up
Yeah, yeah

I'm giving you a wake up call, yeah

Wake up, wake up

HuuHuuHuuHuuHuuHuuHuuHuu (continues to repeat)

Verse 1:
Somp people don't really know what it means to be hood.
They think ur just a stuffler and ur up to know good.
They think these brothers don't know nothing else but bling and white tees.
And they think that all these women can do is somebody's weave
They think we're hustlers, gangsters, and goons riding by
But be easy with your mouth, cuz u dont know nuthin bout, the life that gets lived, the struggles we deal. Its hard some days man, if you feel me then say:

Chourus:(x2)
Yes i'm hood
h-o-o-d
dont speak on it if you dont know what it means
I was raised in the hood
Overcame in the hood
Not ashamed of the hood, cuz the hood is in me.

Bridge:


Everybody put your hands up and rep the hood. If you wanna you can stand up, i know its good, dont be ashamed of the hood,be in the change in the hood, aint nuthin strange bout the hood itz in everybody

Verse 2:
No matter what you do they'll never see us no different. No matter what we accomplish We gettin honors for grammys, billboard chart toppers, thought they could stop us but we still got an oscar. They can give it up because we thinkin bout them and thats a wrap. its a movement, baby, and it aint no stoppin that
So imma keep doin me, i hope you keep doin you, we're look out for one another, at the end of the day i'm still hood

Chorus
(2x)

Bridge

Verse 3
i dont matter if you got some hood in your blood, it don't make you any less, represent it like, what?
it dont matter it makes you more real then the rest. people think its disrespect, but consider it a blessing.
Cause you grew up on another side
Saw the world with a different eye, people dont realize, so we learn to appreciate the little things, or the joy life brings, aint nuthin wrong wit bein hood.

(Chorus repeats util song fades out)
