Tilt your head back and close your eyes

[Chorus]
You so anti don't I matter (what!)
You so you so anti don't I matter (You punk bitch!)
You so anti don't I matter (what!)
You so you so anti don't I matter (You punk bitch!)
You so anti don't I matter (what!)
You so you so anti don't I matter (You punk bitch!)
You so anti don't I matter (what!)
You so you so anti don't I matter (You punk bitch!)

[Verse 1]
Kay, what's this on your iPod
Tell me what you listening to
Why you jumping bout his money
I ain't hear him mention you
I know this aggravates you
And it upsets you
But I change you
I know how you hear me is this better
Yeah girl you like this
Yeah this your language
Life is short in black and white
Just like little penguins
Why you in Social Studies
Screaming and arguing
Why you Dr. Killjoy
Shooting up the party
Where you get that money from
Wait where you running to
Why I hearing sirens
Where them blue lights coming to
Dog you're a genius
You can blueprint and plan this
Instead of playing video games
Why don't you take advantage

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
What's that on your iPod
Tell me what you listening to
Why you jumping bout 'ese bitches
I ain't hear them mention you
I know this aggravates ya
And it upsets ya
I'ma change ya
I know how you hear me
Is this better
I don't understand you
You the schools biggest cut up
Riding in your mama car booming like a motherfucker
Why you always spittin' for
What you get her digits for
Don't you know with no money
That girl is not gon' give you none
Life doesn't dish out
Why you got your fists out
Oh you just gonna run in there
And five finger discount
Talking bout where the weed at
Wait what you coughing for
I thought you was an expert
Now listen to the officer

[Chorus]

I know you're a light
And there's a lamp to let inside
It's not just burning bright
It won't blow up in your face if you try

I know you try hard
But you gotta try harder
Now you got your light to find your way
You're a multi-tasker
You're doing things faster
Are you going to let this guy give in your decay

[Chorus]

Motherfucker are you A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D.
You jump around like you A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D.
You kiss the steel like you A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D.
You fuck around like you A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D. A.D.H.D.

    General Comment:Well, first i thought the lyrics were "You so anti- don't nothin matter" Because that would've made sense to my take on the song.

    I think its about some guy who's trying to act all cool, and fit in with the "cool" crowd. When in reality he's just some annoying guy.

    "Why you jumping 'bout his money?
    I ain't hear him mention you
    I know this aggravates you
    And it upsets you"

    Like this part reminds me of some cool guy inviting everyone to his party, and the annoying guy inviting himself, and everyone being like uhm no (lol).

    "Boy, you just keep runnin' that
    Five-fingered discount"

    And this part reminds me of the guy trying to fit in by stealing.

    "Talkin' 'bout where the weed at?
    Wait, what you coughin' for?
    I thought you was an expert
    Now listen to the officer"

    Meaning the guys trying to smoke weed and be all cool, and coughin like he smoked hecka weed. When in reality he don't know nothin. So when they get in trouble w/ the police Pharrell is kinda like "Well since you so into weed YOU should be listenin' to the officer"

    Also in the chorus. (Which I thought the girl was saying "You so anti don't NOTHIN matter") It would make sense w/ that because shes kinda saying like "You are so ANTI of everything you say you are (meaning opposite) that everything else doesnt even matter" As in she's so annoyed by him trying to talk himself up.

    Idk what the other stuff means LOL but that's just my take, idk if it even will make sense to you guys. ahaha

    General Comment:I reckon rather than really being about a guy talking to a girl it's Pharrell sincerely trying to tell someone to stop wasting their life and do something with their potential:

    Dawg, you a genius
    You could blueprint and plan this
    Better than playing videogames
    Why don't you take advantage

    And especially in:

    I know you're on a line
    And there's a lantern lit inside
    It's not just burning bright
    It won't blow up in your face if you try
    I know you try hard
    But you gotta try harder
    Now you got your life
    To find your way
    You're a multi-tasker
    Do things faster
    Are you gonna let this guy
    Give in to your decay?

    The guy he's referring to is acting like he's something when he hasn't stopped being a kid yet. He talks himself up but others don't notice him, ridin in his mama's car boomin like a motherfucker, no chance of actually making it with some girl whose number he gets coz he has no prospects beyond that. Everyone's either been like that or have known someone like that before. It sounds like Pharrell's telling him personally, like the lyrics are the quirks of some guy he actually knows, who he's actually concerned about. I dunno if that's a total overanalysis, but I totally can see that in this. The song sounds good and I think the message, if that's it, is good too.
