| Not bad, but it does seem pretty concieted. Really concieted, actually. Arrogant, more like. | |

| When I said they didn't know what 'condescending' means, I wasn't including Lisa. She knows some pretty good words. That's really rare in a rapper. | |

| I think some of you guys have missed the point of this song. "Scrub" is a dating game - you get a mate to drive you around town and you shout at the first girl that takes your fancy, to try and get her into the car for a date (or anything else). She isn't being vain or patronising at all - she's summed up the practice nicely as being cheap and trashy. Only for the desperate and can't be bothered to get of ass in the car. | |

| For future references, the rap part says "but you don't hear me going" (she's going, "no, I don't want no scrubs," in case that wasn't obvious.) And they got the lyrics to the rap off this site. See "No Scrubs (Remix)" | |

| miss_nattie88 put it pretty well. Kinda slack, but pretty catchy. Not to mention vain and condescending, but I bet none of the members of TLC even know what that means. | |

| here ya go.............. See, if you can't spatially expand my horizon Then that leaves you in a class with scrubs never risin' I don't find it surprisin' If you don't have the g's To please me and bounce from here to the coast of overseas So, let me give you somethin' to think about Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out Can't forget the focus on the picture in front of me You as clear as DVD on digital TV screen Satisfy my appetite with something spectacular Shake your vernacular And then I get back to ya With diamond like precision Insatiable is what I envision Can't detect acquisition From your friend's expedition Mr. Big Willy if you really wanna know Ask Chilli, could I be a silly ho Not really, T-Boz and all my senoritas Is steppin' on your Filas But you don't hear me though:) | |
