A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly

And is also known as a buster

Hangin' out the passenger side

There's a scrub checkin' me

And I know that he cannot approach me
        Am7                         Em
Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash

This is missing the all-important bridge, where the chords change. The walk down in the end of the bridge sounds like G#m-F#-E-F# (original key)

In original key the chords are: Db-, Ab-, Eb7(b9), Ab- | Bridge: Emaj7, Eb7b9, Ab-7, Ab-7 G7sharp11 Gb-7 F7sharp11, Emaj7, Eb7/G, Ab-7, Gb-7 Eb7/G... Then the bridge is very cool, the fourth bar does a chromatic walk down of what in jazz would be known as a 3,6,2,5, but using tritone substitution, which ends up giving you the numerical 3,b3,2,b2 (with E as your root). I can't quite work out what extensions are on the altered chords but I usually use 7sharp11 chords for these situations. Then it continues with the usual chords. This might not be 100% but it's a nice juicy jazz flavour to add.

. Sorry but chords are way off the lyrics.. Maybe line them up a little better so it makes sense
