Lyrics
I ain't lookin' like nobody's fool, save it for somebody else
I am not willing to appear foolish for anyone; I'll reserve that for someone else
And I ain't makin' any desperate move, 'till I'm satisfied myself
I won't make any desperate moves until I am satisfied personally
I ain't waitin' for no invitation, I just want to walk on through
I don't need an invitation; I just want to proceed without waiting
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said
I have never depended on anyone, echoing the advice of my father
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I was not born into wealth or privilege, and there's no place to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
I observe the attitude in your eyes, and I have no reason to apologize for who I am
Cause what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon
Questioning the special qualities of a girl like you who was born with a silver spoon
In a city where the buildings rise, I was just another face
In a city where tall buildings dominate, I was just another face
But mama told me when somebody dies, no one else can take your place
Mother told me that when someone dies, no one else can fill their unique role
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said
Similar repetition of not depending on anyone, influenced by paternal advice
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
Reiteration of being born without privilege, facing challenges in crowded spaces
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
Observing the attitude in your eyes, yet no need for an apology from me
Cause I've got something for a girl like you, with a silver spoon
Expressing having something valuable for a girl like you with a silver spoon
I always knew I'd be somebody, I kept it in my head
Always had the belief that I would become somebody, keeping this mindset
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said
Emphasizing not relying on anyone, echoing paternal guidance
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
Reiteration of not being born into privilege, facing challenges in crowded spaces
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
Observing the attitude in your eyes, and no need for an apology from me
Cause what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon
Questioning the special qualities of a girl like you who was born with a silver spoon
