Game Proper - Intellectual

[Intro]

Gotta get that Tune right, put a little Tune on it

Yeah

[Verse 1]

I ain't got no bit-mhm, well that's not what I would call them

Often in my head is Queen Latifah's "U-N-I-T-Y", bar one

Much better to simply call them partners, bar none

Not talking a law firm

But sue me, I'm not choosy, see I got a thing for all them

Like this one girl I met, I gotta proceed with caution

She's something outta N.O.R.E.'s "Oye Mi Canto", I can't call it

Had me wishing that I took a Spanish course in coll-

It's type crazy how these ladies gotta deal with nonsense (Right)

Propagated on the daily, treat 'em like exotics (Right)

Foreign, mixed and porcelain skin, seems mеlanin's forgotten

Fascination with the fame from prеying on Black optics (Hmm)

OK, it's just me, right? I'm trippin', yeah I'm wylin'

Like we don't sing along to songs and tend to normalize it

"We live in a society"- No I apologize

I gotta see shorty through a different set of eyes

That's just how I'm feeling

[Chorus]

I'm not a player, got no time to play

I know who I am, never understood the hype in fake

She can detect it and respects a real one right away

Show it don't just talk it, that's my type of way

That's proper game

Show it don't just talk it, 'cause I got no game

[Verse 2]

(Well, well, well)

So what makes me The Asterisk?

I know it just looks like branding, that question is valid

What separates me from all these grown men acting childish?

Pimps for Halloween, their costume's just missing a chalice (Haa)

Masculinity so fragile, they did it backwards

'Cause many heard that women find self-confidence attractive

They overcompensated and I simply didn't have it

Mine came with independence, I didn't resort to acting

Tell ABC the Black Bachelor might need re-casting (Ooh)

Only five-foot-sixish but I stand tall on my values

Like building credit and investing in my wealth and passions

My health and happiness, my energy is a chick magnet

See a baddie walk by, that's a blessing, not a challenge (Woo)

I see that back bend, I'm Wayne and Garth when they met Alice

Her body is a temple so let's just get this established

Can't just go inside if I won't protect or look after

That's facts
