[Spoken]
Hottest, finest
[Verse 1:]
Everybody wanna be, bearing jewellery
Safe in reality, running the city
So you wanna be number one?
Don't forget where you came from
It's not about me and you
It's about the things you do
Most guys don't have a clue, material issues
How can I make you see
The real things in life are free?
[Spoken]
Hottest, finest
[Bridge:]
(We all need someone)
That can show you what you true love is
(Need someone)
That will never let you down
(Need someone)
To tell you that they love you and always be around
[Chorus:]
You could be the hottest, you could be the finest
It don't matter to me
You could be the baddest, be the most stylish
You could be rolling in money
It don't matter what you got, if your heart is out of love
You could be the hottest, you could be the finest
It don't matter to me
[Verse 2:]
I don't mind pretty things, wouldn't mind a diamond ring
But trust me I'll be tripling and take what life brings
I gotta do what I do aside, but do what feels right
I just wanna keep it real, that's just how I feel
It's not about the J-O-B but the
Are-E-S-P-E-C-T
How can I make you see
The real things in life are free?
[Spoken]
Hottest, finest
[Bridge:]
(We all need someone)
That can show you what you true love is
(Need someone)
That will never let you down
(Need someone)
To tell you that they love you and always be around
[Chorus:]
You could be the hottest (hottest), you could be the finest (finest)
It don't matter to me
You could be the baddest, be the most stylish
You could be rolling in money (you could be rolling)
It don't matter what you got, if you heart is out of love
You could be the hottest, you could be the finest it don't matter to me
[Bridge 2]
If you got it, you don't have to flaunt it
If I don't show it don't mean that I ain't got it
No it don't mean a thing if you ain't got real things
Shoo-wap [x8]
You could be the hottest, you could be the finest
It don't matter to me
You could be the baddest, be the most stylish
You could be rolling in money
It don't matter what you got (no, no), if you heart is out of love
You could be the hottest (hottest), you could be the finest (finest)
It don't matter to me
You could be the baddest (baddest), be the most stylish (stylish)
You could be rolling in money
It don't matter what you got, if your heart is out of love
You could be the hottest, you could be the finest
It don't matter to me
