Lyrics

If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me None of us are getting out of this life alive Stumble through as best through the strife, you strive I talk around my vex 'til the sky is pink But she talks about her ex so much, even I miss him No joke to me, you have to keep winning I know you're so broke, you're having sleep for dinner What emerges from night At the foot of the curtain is light The morning's tryna get in as you put the world to rights Love fakes you out, when you want it, it leaves Love is great but you ever wanna sneeze? If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me Yo, see, if you don't know your worth You're gonna settle for less I need honesty, best policy and that minimum respect I don't want no stress, I don't need me a pest And if you lay down with dogs, babe Then you're gonna need a vet See, they come around with their chest high And ain't got nothing to offer Like, why you so on me, mate? Why even bother? See, you wanna fuck, tryna push your luck Nah, I turnt you down and you're looking stuck You're still at your mum's and a total bum But you want the cookie, you can't get a crumb Nah, I ain't gonna allow you, mate Not even a little (No) I'm from M&S, babes You've got a better chance at Lidl's, ah If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me You make problems with people so you can push them away So they can't leave you before you leave they Leather jacket summer, brace the sweat and chase something In this weather, only the ugly wear a face of makeup Again, I tell you, I don't party hardly But when I do, yes, I party hard Put the work in the club from eleven 'til two But you are still a virgin 'cause you never lose I tell her, "You go the way you look So when you're down, see what's up" But if you're feeling down, I can always feel you up Born in Barnet at the age of zero Did my learning in Birmingham Again, I tell you, I don't party hardly But when I do, yes, I party hard If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me If you don't know how much I am worth Then you can't afford me
