Lemarvin – Thug Like Me lyrics

what I wanna know
is why you coming through
a pretty girl like you
what you tryin to prove
if your daddy knew where you was he’d hate it
and who you was with he’d probably go crazy
he’d want you with a college educator
guy who made it out the hood
and your friends think I’m bad news
they think I’m trouble
I’d tell you leave
you just say I love you
so can you tell me

what a good girl like you
want with a thug like me
I’m living in the hood
you living in the burbs
I don’t think it’s gonna work
no no no
so what a good girl like you
want in a thug like me
is it my style that's got you going wild
now baby can you tell me

you from a good home
you used to good food
and trips in the summer while I’m on the corner
opposites attract but this aint your life
know you think I’m wrong but trust be I’m right
how would you feel if you got that phone call
saying I got locked up or the block got shot up
and that’s a possibility if you’re with me
you say that’s fine if I got to do time
and I wanna know

what a good girl like you
want with a thug like me
I’m living in the hood
you living in the burbs
I don’t think it’s gonna work
no, no, no
so what a good girl like you
want in a thug like me
is it my style that’s got you going wild
now baby can you tell me

what is it bout me
is it my gangsta walk
a gangsta glare
a gansta talk
a gangsta stare

I’m not the kind of guy
you’d want to settle down with
not the kind of guy
you’d want to be the one too
not the kind of guy
that you’re not gonna take home (I think?)

what a good girl like you
want with a thug like me
I’m living in the hood
you living in the burbs
I don’t think it’s gonna work
no no no
so what a good girl like you
want in a thug like me
is it my style that’s got you going wild
now baby can you tell me

why you wanna be with
a thug like me
yeah they said stay away from
a thug like me
what you wanna do about
a thug like me
and your friends don’t like
a thug like me
but you keep coming to
a thug like me
and you keep calling
a thug like me
what is it about
a thug like me
that’s got you goin crazy for
a thug like me

what a good girl like you
want with a thug like me
I’m living in the hood
you living in the burbs
I don’t think it’s gonna work
no no no
so what a good girl like you
want in a thug like me
is it my style that’s got you going wild
now baby can you tell me
