“I Deserve It” is the lead single from Faith Evans' sixth studio album, Incomparable.
It samples Artetha Franklin’s version of Nina Simone’s “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” and interpolates Salt-N-Pepa’s “Whatta Man”.
[Intro: Missy Elliott]
Exclusive! Ay, yo, Faith!
We 'bout to make it hot for the summer, baby!
(Whoo! Ahh! New Faith, baby!)
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot!
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot!
We gonna make it, make it hot!
We gonna make it, make it hot!
(Y'all ready? Whoo, let's go!)
[Verse 1: Faith Evans]
Everybody's looking for their one and only love
And I'd be a fool to settle for someone that isn't good enough
If you're gonna love me, love me right
'Cause I've played the fool too many times
If you're gonna love me, love me good
Or I'll find another man who would, baby
[Hook] (x2)
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
Only want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain't gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
[Verse 2: Faith Evans]
Can anybody tell me where to start?
I'm looking for a man that can hear my heart
Too effortlessly, someone who will put a lot of effort in me
(Could you) Fit my description
(And maybe you do) Got my attention
(But, if there's two) Things I should mention
You gotta be strong and about your business, boy, come on!
[Hook] (x2)
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
Only want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain't gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
[Verse 3: Sharaya J]
Hey, boy, you gotta do me proper if you wanna lock her
Long as you act right, you don't need no Oscar
Baby, I ain't flawless, but I know I'm priceless
The way you get your own turn me on like a light switch
Make 'em say "Whoo!", see, I'm attracted to the top-notch
And you? A girl like me, I like 'em tall, dark
And you keep it a hundred, then we straight
I'm the S to the H to the A to the R to the A to the Y to the A
Hey!
[Verse 4: Missy Elliott]
Yeah, my man is smooth like butter and his voice got bass
What a mighty good man, I keep his ass on a leash
When we in the sizzack, he the mizzack
Got me sweatin' out my drizzack
He not perfect, but he worth it and he got that big old (dizzack) Yizzack, my sex so good, I make him come back
He no minute man, he don't sleep or take a nizzap
We rizzap, then we just sit back and relax
I always hold it down for my nigga, bring the beat back!
[Hook] (x2)
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
Only want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain't gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
[Post-Chorus] (x2)
I need a good man, I-I need a good man
I need a good man, tell me will you be there?
Boy, I ain't perfect, but I know that I'm worth it, yeah
I ain't perfect, but I know that I'm worth it
Just be good to me, and baby, I'll be good to you
You ain't gotta be perfect, but baby, just know that I'm worth it, yeah, oh-oh (Ay, yo, Faith, make it hot for the summer!)
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot! (Whoo!)
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot! (Whoo!)
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot! (Whoo!)
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot!
I make it hot, I make it hot, I make it hot...
