Form of Flattery

Lyrics

[Intro] Down, down Down, down Hmm-oh Hmm-oh Down, down Hmm-oh [Verse 1] I'm sorry, I can't need your approval, so please keep the handclaps No need for a compliment, I can pat myself on the back No dying for an award, you can keep the trophy I could really care less whether any of y'all motherfuckers know me 'Scuse my French, pardon me, I don't mean to steal your shine Man, I'll be in the sun for so long, looking my way'll just make you blind All I need is the love, 'cause I can never have enough of that You don't have to try to be the man when you the man, see? [Chorus] I'm embedded And your fifteen minutes are almost up Socialite I wish you would roll up (Ah me, oh yeah) Don't try me I'm not like him, not like them I wish you would roll up (Ah me, oh yeah) I'm not him I'm not like them, don't try me I'm not better than that (No, oh) [Post-Hook] Form of flattery You say he sound like me You say they sound like me [Verse 2] I—I—I don't need another whip (Mm) A nigga flyin' now (Mm) I see you in the shadow In my ocean without a paddle Stop acting like a girlfriend Stop acting like a freshman If you're surprised you're here That means you shouldn't be here No heart, no glory No pain, no fear It's one thing to be hot But that don't make it a career I'm... [Chorus] I'm embedded And your fifteen minutes are almost up I wish you would roll up (Ah me, oh yeah) Don't try me I'm not like him, not like them I wish you would roll up (Ah me, oh yeah) I'm not him I'm not like them, don't try me I'm not better than that (No, oh) [Outro] But I appreciate the form of flattery (Tick, tock) Oh, no I appreciate the form of flattery (Tick, tock) Mm, oh-oh (Ah me, oh yeah) Down, down (Ah me, oh yeah) Down, down (Whoa, ah, ah) Ah-ah-ah Form of flattery, yeah, ah, oh, oh The form of flattery There's no better than feeling than this Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah (Form of flattery) Form of flattery, oh (Down, ah)
