Would you still choose me?
I’m so “this” and I’m so “that,” but I’m never anyone’s favorite or their first choice.
Platonically and romantically, I’m nobody’s person, but somehow any and everyone can be that for me.
I’m always just there. I’m physically present but mentally absent from everyone’s mind.
why?
I thought I was “funny”, and I thought I was “cool to be around,” what happened?
Was I only those things because your real friends weren’t around at the moment?
I thought I was “so pretty”, and I thought you “missed” me, and I thought you “liked” me.
Was I only those things because you didn’t see the other girl yet?
Is it because you can see her whenever you want to? Is it because her mother isn’t “strict”?
Is it because she seems more mature?
Is it because she’s older?
WHAT IS IT?
Why is it never me?
Why even bother to talk to me?
I don’t understand.
I just want to be understood, and not just for the moment.
Don’t choose me when you get bored or have nobody else.
Look for me in a crowded room because you WANT to, not because your other homegirl isn’t there.
So, my question is, would you still choose me?
Only his homegirl-
Yet watching my every move
Thanks- little black dress
it all started with a lie..
you lied about your taxes
Dump Trump, Dump Trump
what hump homegirl
you got the world in a whirl
can't really tell if your a boy or a girl
I didn't vote for you gotta low IQ
got beats to the rhyme, to the rhyme to the reason
soon you'll be made up as a clown in prison
What is are decision
What is are reason for believing
It's in the changing of the seasons
What alout this wall you seem to stand ten feet tall
See ya on the flip side cheese
Bruh, you keep spreading your deadly disease
It still won't knock me to my knees
You seem to be busy as a bee
You took out Hillary what a mystery
What hump Trump
make me vomit in my mouth
Soon you'll be going down South
In federal prison,
yeah, that's your final decision
Your fired !
You get my girl senses tingling,
every time I see you spring into action
Teenage super hero lover of mine,
I loved you from the first hanging upside down
from a tree kiss
To our last rollicking, web-slinging good time
Peter Parker,
I’ve been pursuing you,
watching you
do your spider hero thing on web cam
But you know sometimes
it’s so hard to watch
Seeing those super arch-villains
try to clean your clock
Electro,
Doc Oct
Sandman,
Green Goblin
You got so many bad guys that don’t like you,
but you never lost your sense of humor
about it all ... no, not one bit at all
One more thing I gotta say:
it’s sweet sexy how you love to chase
after me, your homegirl MJ
Your friend told me that you wanted to see me
Hold up, I know you ain't gettin nasty
You sent your homegirl to relate a message to me
I'm the one who should be gettin nasty
What you mean
You don't know what I'm talking about
You want me to refresh your memories
Cause I'm about 15 seconds away from knocking you out
No, don't tell me to calm down!
She hates me, she despises me, I'm this, I'm that
But my name's coming out your mouth
Every time I turn my back
You can roll your eyes
And do what you want to do
You may think I'm playin with you
But try me and see what I'll do to you
You know what, I don't even know why I bother
In somebody's face who sells her body for ten dollars
This time, I'mma let you go
But the next time, you better run and you better lay low
