"Me Against Myself" lyrics

Jay Sean, versus Jay Sean
Me against myself
And there ain't no chorus
So just listen
Mentor

Oh, girl, you look so beautiful
With that moonlight shinin' on you
I wanna hold you
I wanna touch you, and squeeze you
And love you, all night long, baby girl

Yo... I've heard it before, so save all the clichés
I really can't believe there's no talent around these days
Jay Sean with the same old shit
Talkin' about, baby girl that and baby girl this
I seen you dancin' around with the girl in your vid
Poutin' at the camera, smilin' with the cheesiest grin (pssh!)
What the deal? Whatever happened to keepin' it real?
Back in the day when you was rappin', before the time of your deal (uh!)
And now that you got signed, well, it's clear and it's simple
You're only making music that you pretend that you into (ha-ha)
Come on! "Dance with You" was never a hit fool!
And what the hell is takin' you so long with your next single?!
(Fix up!)
Fix up! It's been about six months
And insults are everywhere
Even your own fans think your shit sucks
("I don't like Jay Sean")
And I know that you pretend to ignore them
It's gotta hurt when you're even gettin' dissed on your own forum (pssh!)
Yeah, I've done my research, back when you started fool
Back when people thought you was the genuine article
Genuine my ass, you're just a wack imitation
The only thing different about you is the fact that you're Asian!

(Well well...) Well I guess it must've helped a bit
The fact that everything has an Asian twist
Including, music, I guess we cornered it
I'm surprised that Simon Cowell hadn't thought of it
And there's, issues that I find myself faced with
Bein' pigeonholed and accused of imitatin'
It's a struggle and it's so frustratin'
Tellin' me I'm tryna be the Asian Craig David

(ha-ha!) And I bet that just had you in tears
Wasn't that the reason you ended up shavin' your beard?
I guess you couldn't take the way that people would mock that
So it was, off with the jawline and goodbye to the sock hat
But you still bit your style with the fast singing
On verse two with "Dance with You"
Now you wonder why the critics slander you!

(oh! Whoa!) Well, you say you done your research, baby
You didn't look hard enough, it needs updatin'
If you think that I'm copyin' Craig
Listen to my 1994 demo tape
I was fast rappin' and singin' like back in the day
Back in the Fu-Schnickens and Big L phase

Whatever, it seems you sold your soul to the game
You're a fake, 'cause Jay Sean ain't even your name (ha-ha-ha!)
So how'd you come up with that? It ain't unique after all
What are you? Like a cross between Jay-Z and Sean Paul?
You're better off with the name you was born
You little pansy, you really should have been called gay porn
So which one's your lover? Rishi Rich or Juggy D?
Probably Rishi, he sees you as his bitch, doesn't he?
Wasn't he the one responsible for launchin' your career?
Like a while ago, I'm talkin' like well over a year
You were studyin' medicine then, but you quit that now
To do music, how the hell you manage to flip that round?
And how'd you tell your parents
You know how shit that sounds?
"Mummy, Daddy, I want to be a pop star!"
"Sit back down!"

But nevertheless, I quit, well ahead of the rest
Had my eyes on a goal and I wouldn't settle for less

What you you mean?
You only got where you are 'cause of a gimmick
The whole Indian thing was big and you were luckily in it
And don't be upset if people don't come to your shows
They're not allowed out 'cause half of your fans are eleven-year-olds
("Jay Sean! Jay Sean!")
Wow, big deal so you got to number 12
I'm not surprised if your mum bought half the copies herself (ha-ha!)
You know what? I'm tired man, I'm sick, I'm bored of you
Run off you little puppet, I hear Rishi Rich callin' you!

(huh!) I guess you talk the talk but you were rappin' for years
And it was me who got your foot in the door
It seems that your ego has been sufferin' blows
'Cause you only get heard when you guest appear on my shows
I'm not phased, if it wasn't for me
You wouldn't be on this track in the first place!
