Game Proper

[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
That's proper game
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

[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
That's proper game
That's proper game
Show it don't just talk it, 'cause I got no game

[Outro]
Mmmm, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
