Lyrics
[Chorus] Here's what you want, right? Here's what you need, right? We got to give you more Of what you're looking for [Verse 1] Yo, 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 would've done that shit to me I mean, my best man hittin' my wife-to-be My sentiments exactly would be history Y'know what I'm sayin? My peoples in the place Let's hit it off, one, two [Chorus] Here's what you want, right? Here's what you need, but We got to give you more Of what you're looking for It's do or die, man Not gonna stop You and I, you and I, son Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Yo, it's like nothing changed, it's all the same thing 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 to the game, the price is pain Men and women get into things, now who's to blame? When everybody whispering 'bout whatever took place And how the fact was denied 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 the hammer and the hammer I clap, one two [Chorus] Here's what you want, right? Here's what you need, but We got to give you more Of what you're looking for It's do or die, man Not gonna stop You and I, you and I, son Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 3] If you could only flashback and undo our actions Change what happens, dissect the fractions A time to rewind and be recorded absent For real, 'cause these memories is photographic Pornographic, pushin' 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 lot of time and trust in the wrong place Fought a lot of fights rollin' with the wrong ace Love, stronger than pride, we could end disgrace I need, room to think, and space to ventilate Was solid as a rock, shall not disintegrate Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate For real, yo It's ill, yo My peoples in the place, one two [Chorus] Here's what you want, right? Here's what you need, but We got to give you more Of what you're looking for It's do or die, man Not gonna stop You and I, you and I, son Yeah, yeah, yeah Here's what you want, right? Here's what you need, but We got to give you more Of what you're looking for It's do or die, man Not gonna stop You and I, you and I, son Yeah, yeah, yeah [Outro] Aw yeah Uh, aw yeah
