The Way I Are Lyrics

(State of emergency)
Yeah, Yeah (yeah)
Yeah, Yeah (yeah)
Remember the time, baby
Yeah, yeah (yeah)

I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we could be the perfect soul mates
Talk to me, girl

Oh. baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch my love it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like, I like, I like

I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Talk to me, girl

Oh. baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch my love it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way (yeah) you are

Baby girl (yeah, yeah)
I don't got a huge ol' house, I rent a room in a house
Listen, baby girl (yeah, yeah)
I ain't got a motorboat, but I can float ya boat
So listen, baby girl (yeah, yeah)
Once you get a dose of D.O.E., you gon' want some mo'
So listen, baby girl (yeah, yeah)
When I make it, I want you there, want you there, yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh

What is the Meaning of The Way I Are?

This anthem of love and acceptance is a refreshing take on relationships in a materialistic world. The lyrics convey an honest confession of not having wealth or luxurious possessions, yet offering undying love that's priceless. The song emphasizes the importance of being loved for who you are, rather than what you have. It challenges societal norms that often equate love with material gifts and extravagance. The repeated line "I like you just the way you are" is an affirmation of accepting one's partner in their most authentic form, without any pretense or financial status attached to it. This track serves as a reminder that true love thrives on emotional connection, understanding, and mutual respect rather than superficial standards set by society.
