[Verse]
You into vanity, looking for some parody
Getting dolled up, trying not to be a parody
The bare minimum's your bare minerals
Some [?] in yo sink, now you looking like a centerfold
Something straight out of magazine or a movie
And you dress to kill too, please, just don't shoot me
Just choose me, let me be your two feet
Walk on over to me and tell me what your mood be
NYX and YSL, printed on your lipstick too, but I can't tell
Goddamn, you ain't gotta buy it all
You barely got a job so why you buying the mall
But I get it, you cute and that dress is too
I just wish you didn't let the brand names brand you
Feeling so brand new, but if you gonna need me then I'ma need you
To be you, I need you
If you gonna need me then I'ma need you
