[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
If I were a lame
Only just for a week
I'd look myself in the mirror
And shoot the first thing I seen
No honestly I'd try and find someone else
And I'd make it seem like it's his fault
That I'm broke and can't get on
And he's doin' shit I can't do for myself

[Hook]
If I were a lame
I'd probably understand
How it feels to hate myself so much
I gotta hate another man
Shit I'd say that I'd
Should be right in his place
And talk shit behind his back
But I'm smiling while I'm in his face
Cause I'm just a lame

[Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa]
If I were a lame
I'd talk shit to the hoes
Like you shouldn't fuck with that nigga
He ain't rich
I heard he really broke
I would get on a song
And talk as bad as I can
'Bout how I wish I'd catch him slippin'
How his mixtapes don't be shit
And how I'm gone end his career
But I'm his number one fan

[Hook]
If I were a lame
I'd probably understand
How it feels to hate myself so much
I gotta hate another man
Shit I'd say that I'd
Should be right in his place
And talk shit behind his back
But I'm smiling while I'm in his face
Cause I'm just a lame

[Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa]
It's killin' me how niggas act anytime I come around
No matter how much I do for myself
They wanna bring me down
But I just gotta do me at the end of the day

Cause I'm not a lame
So I can't understand
How it feels to hate myself so much
I gotta hate another man
No it ain't my fault
My shit flies off the shelf
So stop tryna be somebody
And worry about just bein' yourself
Nigga just be yourself

And don't be a lame
No don't be a lame
