SUPERFICIAL THINGS Lyrics by Pertinence

CHPT. 12: STORYBOOK LiFE

2024

[Intro]
Gather round, kids, g-gather ‘round
There's one thing I learned in life, it's that only three things are c-certain:
Death, taxes, and a Gucci belt don't mean shit

[Verse]
Look, I don't know who Uncle Sam is
Can't do my taxes, can't spell escargot 'cause I never had it
Report card average, I was probably absent
Never heard of Hamilton until he started rapping
But that don't matter 'cause the matter of fact is:
I grew up on Nirvana, thinking Madonna's attractive
Skipping practice, blazing, playing Madden
Watchin’ Ed, Edd & Eddy on the telly, shit was classic
Like, all I need is a plain white tee
Nеver pull over a Polo 'cause it just ain't mе, nah
All this whining over wine and some cheese
And pretty girls like it lavish, but they loving on me

[Bridge]
See, when the going gets weird, man
The weird go pro, when the going gets weird, they go
And check it out
See, when the going gets weird, man
The weird go pro, when the going gets weird, they go
Huh, check it out

[Chorus]
I can't change for some designer rings
I'm talking 'bout superficial things that mean nothing to me
Man, y'all love to do the most, y'all love to do the most
To get your superficial things
Fuck your superficial things, baby

[Verse]
"Sparkling or still?" Catch me sipping out a tap
"Wanna order hors d'oeuvres?" I'm like what the fuck is that?
(What the fuck?)
No more bated conversations, ain't engagin’ in a trap
Politicking over dinner, I just came here for a snack
No crip, no currency, my watch be CC
My Jays fugazi but I'm sexy as a motherfucker
A to B and we only play R&B
My car be older than me, still, I'm sexy as a motherfucker
All I need is a little mystique
A bit of weed just to get me through the end of the week
Been in the same jeans since like 2003
And pretty girls like it lavish, but they loving on me

[Bridge]
See, when the going gets weird, man
The weird go pro, when the going gets weird, they go
And check it out
See, when the going gets weird, man
The weird go pro, when the going gets weird, they go
Huh, check it out

[Chorus]
I can't change for some designer rings
I'm talking 'bout superficial things that mean nothing to me
Man, y'all love to do the most, y'all love to do the most
To get your superficial things
Fuck your superficial things, baby

I can't change for some designer rings
I'm talking 'bout superficial things that mean nothing to me
Man, y'all love to do the most, y'all love to do the most
To get your superficial things
Fuck your superficial things, baby
