360 - Boys Like You
360 is completely capable of pimping the problems of being a player. In one song he sums up the dilemmas associated with boasting about how many women he's slept with, while ever so ironically immortalizing that very reputation. Even in the face of heartbreak you got to give the guy credit for having some serious swagger. I'm a huge fan of the beat, hook, chorus and of course his ability to dismiss a problem that so many men idolize. I don't foresee him getting a whole lot of empathy from his listeners, but I can dig where he is coming from. As I've learned on my own too much of anything can end up being, well... just too much. Overall a great song with some serious lyrical banter.

ReplyDeletedon't you think that guys a little hot. love him
I love this song , It's so amazing !!!
ReplyDeleteJust a a few words wrong; but I fixed it for ya:
ReplyDeleteI mean it I mean it I ain't trying to play around
I need it I need it you can probably see it
You'll probably think I'm gonna rip your heart to pieces
Get you in the sheets and hit it up and leave ya
Believe it believe me you are gonna say my reputation proceeds it
Bet you got to be fair
Know you might have heard about the numbers that I sleep with
Thats not all I am but at least there ain't no secrets
Mommy always told me poppa always warned me don't hang around boys like you
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don't mess around with boys like you
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Ay yo you've heard about me right
You know that my rep's renowned
Your friends will tell you stay away because I've slept around
Thats how it works though the word will get around
Back in the day it didn't faze me though
But lately it has kept me down
And though I brought it on myself
But I ain't mad about it
I kept count but why the the fuck did I brag about it
But I'll admit it though my rep is deserved
But I'll be real I want to kill it though cause having that rep is a curse
My last girl cheated on me with a close friend
Thats two relationships I had to watch them both end
But see it messed with me the two people I trusted most
I could shrug it off on drunkness but fuck them both
See that switched something inside of me
A beast came alive in me and started just eating away the pride in me
Because we're known to make mistakes and I've grown to make a change
I was different back then but now I ain't the same
Mommy always told me poppa always warned me don't hang around boys like you
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don't mess around with boys like you
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
I mean it I mean it I ain't trying to play around
I need it I need it you can probably see it
You'll probably think I'm gonna rip your heart to pieces
Get you in the sheets and hit it up and leave ya
Believe it believe me you are gonna say my reputation proceeds it
Bet you got to be fair
Know you might have heard about the numbers that I sleep with
Yeah that may be true but its you I want to be with
Mommy always told me poppa always warned me don't hang around boys like you
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don't mess around with boys like you
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position with you
You got a little bit wrong too..
DeleteIt's Mamma, not mommy.
and it's teacher always taught me, not told me. Each person has a different word.
Mamma, told
Pappa, warned
Teacher, taught.
:)
Also, it's "Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say my reputation PRECEDS ME".. not "proceeds it".
DeleteOMG, absolutely love this song, love the meaning behind the lyrics as well :)
