A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly

And is also known as a buster

Always talkin about what he wants

And just sits on his broke ass, so

No, I don't want your number

No, I don't wanna give you mine, and

No, I don't wanna meet you nowhere

No, I don't want none of your time, and

No, I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holla at me

But a scrub's checkin' me

But his game is kinda weak

And I know that he cannot approach me

'Cause I'm lookin like class and he's looking like trash

Can't get with a deadbeat ass

No, I don't want your number

No, I don't wanna give you mine, and

No, I don't wanna meet you nowhere

No, I don't want none of your time

No, I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

If you don't have a car and you're walking

Oh yes, son

I'm talking to you

If you live at home with your momma

Oh yes, son

I'm talking to you

If you have a shorty but you don't show love

Oh yes, son

I'm talking to you

Wanna get with me with no money

Oh no

I don't want no, oh

No scrub, no scrub

No, no, no scrub

No, no, no, no

No scrub, no, no

See?

If you cannot specially expand my horizons

Then that leaves you in the class with a scrub never risin'

I don't find a surprise

And if you don't have the G's to please me

And bounce from here to the course of all the seas

So, let me give you something to think about

Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out

Can't forget to focus on the picture in front of me

I do it clear as DVD on digital TV screens

Satisfy my appetite with something spectacular

Check your vernacular, and then I'll get back to ya

With diamond-like precision

Insatiable is what I invasion

Can't detect acquisition

On your friend's expedition

Mr. Big Willie, if ya really wanna know

Ask Chilli, could I be a Silly Ho

Not with T-boz and all my señoritas

Steppin' on your fellas but you don't hear me though

No, I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me
