What You Want (feat. Jaguar)

Lyrics

Here's what you want right, here's what you need right
 We got to give you more of what you're lookin' for
 So it's a secret that's been pent up inside for years
 Exclusive type, only for your eyes and ears
 You held it in for so long you bursted into tears
 The letters spilled slowly across the page like a world premiere
 Well, I ain't, the bullshit begins here
 The obvious cause, the effects is unclear
 The punishment for crimes of the heart could be severe
 Though to keep it on the low is a heavy cross to bear
 You deep now, submerged with no signs of air
 Still your sunken heart thumpin' like the kick in a snare
 While on the surface it's all turnin' to a circus
 That's why you're nervous and you got a right to be
 'Cause if somebody woulda done that shit to me
 I mean my best man hittin' my wife-to-be
 My sentiments exactly would be history, ya know what I'm sayin'
 My peoples in the place, let's hit it off, one, two
 Here's what you want right, here's what you need right
 We got to give you more of what you're lookin' for
 Yo, it's like nothin' changed, it's all the same thang
 The same characters in a book with different names
 It's a lot more to lose than you got to gain
 You a lot more confused than hip to the game
 The peep, the script of the game, the price is pain
 Men and women get into things, now who's to blame?
 When everybody whisperin' 'bout whatever took place
 And how the fact twist a knot with a straight face
 And lies, hard to swallow from the bitter taste
 Well, that's a point in the past that can't be erased
 So motivate, though it's hard to let it ride
 Or set aside true feelings, underhand dealings
 Our lost trust, I wonder if we lost us
 It's bigger than me and you, it's monstrous
 So I'ma just calm down and try to relax
 Before I clap [unverified]
 Here's what you want right, here's what you need right
 We got to give you more of what you're lookin' for
 If you could only flash back and undo our actions
 Change what happens, dissect the fractions
 A time to rewind and be recorded absenta
 For real cause these memories is photographic
 Pornographic, pushing me close to madness
 Head heavy like I'm trippin' on acid tablets
 Yesterday as I recall was all fabulous I thought so
 But now it feel like shots hittin' my torso
 Spent a lotta time and trust in the wrong place
 Fought a lotta fights rollin' with the wrong ace
 Love, stronger than pride, we could end disgrace
 I need room, the think and space to ventilate
 Was solid as a rock, shall not disintegrate
 Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate
 For real ya, it's ill ya, my peoples in the place
 Here's what you want right, here's what you need right
 We got to give you more of what you're lookin' for
 Here's what you want right, here's what you need right
 We got to give you more of what you're lookin' for
 Here's what you want right, here's what you need right
 We got to give you more of what you're lookin' for
