Lyrics Elijah Blake – Pretentious
Text:
Should I wear my hat like this?
So the hippies think I’m cool
And pretend I was an outcast back
In my early days in the school
Post all my pictures in black and white
Maybe then I’d have more followers
In the social media pool
Buy an old school car, like a ghetto superstar
Read 48 laws of power so I can recite it at the bar
Pretend I’m bored and I never laugh
But I’ll crack a mini smile when they turn their backs
Might sing a little something if you give me some reefer
She asked me what’s good I guess I gotta tell her
Point your fingers, stop and stare
I’m just a little pretentious, I don’t care
Hear the whispers in the air
We’re just a little pretentious over here
x2
La di di, la di da, look at me I’m different
La di di, by the way, put on some Led Zeppelin
And when I hear the immigrant song
I pretend to give a damn
As I type out all the lyrics that I’ma put up on the gram
Rock my head like Elvis Presley
So they could say nigga you so eclectic
Return a compliment with a compliment
And say I guess that’s just the life I was blessed with
I know who you are, but me I’m not that sure
For my extrovert turned introvert
I kinda used to be free, I kinda used to be bold
I’m kinda missing me, I’m kinda missing my soul
Point your fingers, stop and stare
I’m just a little pretentious, I don’t care
Hear the whispers in the air
We’re just a little pretentious over here
x2
La di di, la di da, look at me I’m different
La di di, by the way, put on some Led Zeppelin
I’m just a little pretentious
