The Streets ft. Ms Banks - You Can’t Afford Me Lyrics

If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me

None of us are getting out of this life alive
Stumble through as best through the strife you strive
I talk around my becks until the sky is pink
But she talks about her ex so much even I miss him
No joke to me, you have to keep winning
I know you're so broke, you're having sleep for dinner
What emerges from night at the foot of the curtain is light
The morning is trying to get in as you put the world to rights
Love baits you out, when you want it, it leaves
Love is great but you ever wanna sneeze?

If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me

Yo, see if you don't know your worth
You're gonna settle for less
I need honesty, best policy, and that minimum respect
I don't want no stress
I don't need me a pest
And if you lay down with dogs babe, then you're gonna need a vet
See they come around with their chest high and they got nothing to offer
Like, why you so on me mate? Why even bother?
See you wanna fuck, trying to push your luck
Now I took you down and you're looking stuck
You're still at your mum's and a total bum
But you want the cookie, you can't get crumb
Nah, I ain't gonna allow you mate, not even a little
I'm from M&S, babes, you got better chance at Lidl's, ah

If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me

You make problems with people so you can push them away
So they can't leave you before you leave they
Leather jackets, summer braced the sweat, chase something
In this weather, only the ugly wear a face of make up
Again, I tell you I don't party hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard
Put the work in the club from 11 till 2
But you are still a virgin 'cause you never lose
I tell you go the way you look so when you're down see what's up
But if you're feeling down I can always feel you up
Born in Barnet at the age of zero
Did my learning in Birmingham
Again I tell you I don't party hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard

If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me
