The Roots - You Ain't Fly Lyrics

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

I'm just playin' the wall (I'm just playin' the wall)
I'm just playin' the wall (just playin' the wall)
Coolin' with my niggas on the right, hold tight
Late Friday night, strobe light shine, bright blind
Coolin' at this party with the sugars on my mind
It's the sex patrol, the sex patrol
The young sis was stacked wicked, wanted me to kick it
Said, "I never dance", made advance outside
Took a glance to expect, shorty was correct
So it seemed, her name Shavon, age seventeen
I flipped when I seen her eyes, bloodshot green
She said she wanted riches and a nigga with cash
Lex, Land, or a Path (Lex, Land, or a Path)
Didn't know the half (didn't know the half)
I react to flip the script and get ill
My man, Malik B, Kept telling me to relax
Diggin' how you're livin' on some unreal high
As I realize, you're not that fly

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

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

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

Mm, strollin' in my Pumas down the avenue
Not tokin' on a J, not sippin' on a brew
Saw a soul sister on the streets of five-two
"Mm, my name's Question Um, who are you?"
She didn't respond, she didn't respond
Continue on
Thought to myself, "Should of said a little louder"
Better hurry up before she gets lost in the crowd of
"Excuse me Miss, excuse me miss"
"No, I'm not havin it!" I just got dissed
I didn't get mad, was calm and collect
I didn't call her bitch, I didn't break her neck
Start to wonder why the brothers disrespect the cutie
It's a place of 180's and the high-priced floozie
As she walked away, man, I couldn't deny
Started lying to myself, man she wasn't that fly

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

Black Butter, um, that's what I be
Had to tell a girl to set her mind free
Use the Third Eye possibly you will see
What you get, with material objects
Want to be the envy of the whole projects, gettin' loot
Pretty in your cute limited Express suit
Baby, I can see everything you want to be
Seein' gamin' as a key to escape poverty
Known to be shown around, sport about her niggas (sport about her niggas)
Thinkin' you a woman 'cause your ass got bigger (ass got bigger)
Kickin' it to me as if I don't know the time
But I'm the Black Thought (I'm the Black Thought)
I'm all up in your mind (I'm all up in your mind)
I figure you the kind to say, "Give me a call"
But then switch to act strange (strange) countin' on my change (change)
Pay to the order of who? Not you
Why? You're not that fly

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)

You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly), you ain't fly (you ain't fly)
You ain't fly (you ain't fly)
So go 'head, witcha self
