Pretentious - Elijah Blake

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

Should I brag about getting high?

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

When 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

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

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

Former extrovert turned introvert

Just a game so I’m playing the bar

I kinda used to be free, I kinda used to be bold

I’m kinda missing me, I’m kinda missing my soul

So 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

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

(I'm just a little pretentious over here)

La di di, la di da, look at me I’m different

(I'm just a little pretentious over here)

La di di, by the way, put on some Led Zeppelin
