Rude Boy

I've given and been taken
Time has made me wise
You can't negotiate it
Between the sheets and the lines

I tried to be healthy, wealthy and wise
Yeah it's trouble that made me just a victim of your lies
No, I won't be what you want me to be
And so you can't tell if I'm fake or if I'm real

I'm just a rude boy, I don't pay no mind
I got a big stick, it makes a big big noise
I won't start no fight, again I might
My reputation's got a life of its own

A mover who can shake her
Ruffled feathers of the best
Yeah the earth, I tried to quake her
You know I put it to the test
No, I won't buy what you want me to sell
So I won't show what you want me to tell

I'm just a rude boy, I won't pay no mind
I got a big stick, it makes a big big noise
I won't start no fight, again I might
My reputation's got a name of its own, yeah

I'm bolder and I'm wiser
I've seen what you believe
Well if you look for trouble
You know I'm more than you conceived

I said no I won't be what you want me to be
So you won't show what you want me to be

I'm just a rude boy, I don't pay no mind
I got a big stick, it makes a big big noise
I won't start no fight, again I might
I'm a rude boy
I got a big stick, it makes a big big big big noise
I won't start no fight, again I might (oh yes)

Rude boy, look out
