Mascara Lyrics

Yeah my hair, and my ass fake, but so what!
I get my rent payed with it
and my tits get me trips to places I can't pronounce right
He said he'd keep it coming, if I keep my body tight

And them bitches stay mad 'cause I'm living the life
‘Cause I'm living the life, oh
Most people think I'm shallow
‘Cause I'm always dressed like I'm going out to the club
But I gotta keep up 'cause there's new chicks poppin' up every day
And they want the same things

So I never leave the house without make-up on
I keep Mascara in my pocket if I'm running to the market
‘Cause you never know who's watching you
So I got to stay on, I got to stay on
I got to stay on, I got to stay on
Said I got to stay on!

No, I ain't got a job but, so what!
I don't need it when I'm getting everything that I want
and everything that I ask for
I wear that freakum dress for daddy then he give me more

And them bitches stay mad 'cause they working so hard
While I'm working so smart, oh
It's a small price to pay when you're
Living this good and he keep me in the hills
And he kept me out the hood
‘Cause there's new chicks poppin' up
Every day and they want the same things

So I never leave the house without make-up on
I keep mascara in my pocket if I'm running to the market
‘Cause you never know who's watching you
So I got to stay on, I got to stay on
I got to stay on, I got to stay on
Said I got to stay on!

Now, I know why you're looking at me like that
It ain't attractive when you're looking at me like that
Girl, don't be mad 'cause while you're
Cooking dinner for your broke nigga
You could be in the gym working
On your figure like me. So

Don't I deserve to be privileged?
Don't I deserve to get the very best?
‘Cause it ain't easy being this fine all the tim
‘Cause if it was, then we all could do it
But we can't now no
So bitch don't kill my vibe, don't be
Mad cause you coach class and I'm in that G5
Beautiful girls run the whole world
So I got to stay on!

So I never leave the house without make-up on
I keep mascara in my pocket if I'm running to the market
‘Cause you never know who's watching you
So I got to stay on, I got to stay on
I got to stay on, I got to stay on
Said I got to stay on!

Oh
Yeah, she drive the dope boys crazy
She knows, that all them hoes so jealous
'Cause that ass, will make a man leave home, uh
That's why she keeps her mascara on

Mascara Song Chart

This paranoid song about the ways women are constantly scrutinized was one of a quintet of tracks on Reality Show produced by Key Wane (Drake's "All Me," Beyoncé's "Partition" and Ariana Grande's "Best Mistake").

"It was cool the way that happened," Sullivan recalled to Billboard magazine. "For most of the album I was just picking out tracks on a CD, no names or anything... Once I got finished, they were like, 'You know you picked like five Key Wane tracks?' It was cool to have a connection with somebody and not even have met them."

Whilst we're on the subject of the eyelash cosmetic, did you know a Roman woman's recipe for mascara might contain bear fat, ant eggs and squashed flies?
