LYRIC CRITIC TIME
I'd like to say before we start, the lyrics will be in italics whilst my criticism will be in bold.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You’re a dime, so beautiful

'''<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Woah, hang on there, Superman. I'm quite positive that 10 cents is very very cheap. '''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I’m so happy you’re mine, so beautiful,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Top of the line, so unusual 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'm going to show you later on how this man has contradicted this line along with 2/3 the entire song.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I hope you don’t take this the wrong way,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Girl you look better with the lights off 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Here's Chris Brown, the world's most famous liar. Okay. Where do I begin? Well at first he calls her beautiful, a rusty old coin, and top of the line. Then, he takes it back by saying, "Girl you look better with the lights off." How can't she take it the wrong way? I'm not a girl and even I found it offensive.'''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Sweetheart you only live one time,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">So put your fantasies on fast forward 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Hold up hold up hold up hold up. So here Legacy is seen copying Drake's famous pathetic quote YOLO, then says "put your fantasies on fast forward." OKAY. After she gets done with her fantasies, what will she do next? And how do these lines even compare with each other?'''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I hate your type, I love you too,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I b <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">ite your swa <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">g cause I wanna do you 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''According to countless asking about what swag is, besides it being an acronym, we hear it's how somebody dresses. You can't bite fashion, Legacy. And if you were to bite her swag, there would be no connection to having sex. '''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Can't blame me babe 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Yes she can, the entire song is getting her into bed and calling her ugly until the lights are off, where you can't see her face. She can blame you.'''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Obama your work clothes girl, make a change 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">The only thing Obama did good for the coutnry was kill Osama, and we don't have any proof of that, we just have to take the government's word.

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Every guy wanna know how it is,  '<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">To clap off the lights and turn Khloe to Kim 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''I'm gonna take a shot in the dirt and say this line did not roll over well with the media. Anyhoo, I don't see how you don't see how this would insult your girlfriend/girl/bitch/whatever. You're clearly saying Khloe is ugly and Kim is beautiful. So you're clearly saying your girlfriend is ugly until the lights are off. If that won't put her into depression, I don't know what will.'''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Then it's Chris Brown's chorus.

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Drive off take my girl to have a nice day,  '<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">She was nice so I let her head my way 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Wait wait wait, woah woah woah. Ben J, you're saying if she didn't do everything you asked her to do, she would not be invited into your house, correct? Correct.'''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Look cute girl, what you wanna do girl?,  '<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Drive to my house cause it's only me and you girl 

<p style="text-align:start;"> '''I like the rhymes used in this song. You know, rhyming girl with girl. Very talentful and unexpected fom you.'''

<p style="text-align:start;"> The rest of his verse made no sense whatsoever, not even about sex, such lines as "Y <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">ou look different, she's like boy stop it,  '''<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">No, I ain't playing actually you more popping." I'm guessing popping refers to condoms but what the fuck ever. '''
