T.L.C. Lyrics

[Verse 2: Tory Lanez]
You see I was the nigga that was all on the side of his best friend's ride
See my pockets were thinner and my dollars were slimmer
When I asked for your digits, you simply replied, "No scrubs"

So I finally waited, I waited for you
Plottin' the way I'm gon' do it and waitin' for you to fall through
I pulled up on you in that rental but you thought that shit was my own
And that's when you came up and gave me your number, it's sick just to know
But I ain't playin' timid, it's guaranteed that we did it
The first night I came over, she had me in her room
And all that I'm thinkin' is look what a car can do
It got me gettin' you outside your pants and you used to say

[Chorus: TLC & Tory Lanez]
No, I don't want no scrubs, do you remember that?
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me, do you remember that?
Sittin' on the passenger side 'cause I remember that
Of his best friend's ride tryna holla at me, you and all your friends would say
No, I don't want no scrubs, do you remember that?
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me, do you remember that?
Sittin' on the passenger side 'cause I remember that
Of his best friend's ride tryna holla at me, you and all your friends would say

[Outro: Tory Lanez]
Fuck it, let's take this shit deeper, back to the day that I seen ya
First time we fucked, you knew I was schemin'
You knew I was leavin', so who's to believe in?
You're back with a vengeance, I was a brand new Beamer
You bust the windows out my car ,fuckin' you
Jasmine Sullivan attitude,
Jimmy Choo's, gettin' rude
Eyes attitude passin' by with your different dudes, different crews
Used to see shit eye to eye, we got different views, different views

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The ninth track of Chixtape 2 is named after the R&B group TLC and samples their Grammy-nominated single “No Scrubs”.

While TLC crafted an anthem calling out men who weren’t good enough for them, Tory presents the other side of the story. In his story, he was seen as a “scrub” by a woman, Jalissa, who lived by the words of TLC. Yet, he manages to get his way with her, winning her over in a luxury rental car. In the end, Tory got the best of her and flips TLC’s anthem into his own triumphant tune.
