Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Steady, are you ready? (Are you ready?)

What's going on? (What's going on?)

Rockefeller

Steady, are you ready? (Are you ready?)

What's going on? (Tell me what's going on?)

Def Jam

Cold fresh air, feel the mellow dip that's in the air

Oh yeah, I'm bound take a look around

Oh, what's goin' down?

[Verse 2]

However do you want me?

However do you need me? (That classic shit)

However do you want me?

(However) However do you need me?

(Do you need me, now?) However do you want me?

However do you need me? (How)

However do you want me? (Miss Mary J Blige)

However do you need me?

[Verse 3]

I live at the very top of the floor (Livin' at the very top)

There's no more room for anything more (I know there's not)

I state my name, my name's to claim (Oh, I state it clearly)

???

This is M.J.B.

[Verse 4]

Uh, yeah, now girl, step up to Kiss

You sippin' red zinfandel, step up to Cris'

The coupe got 19's, the chain's got nice gleam

Girlfriend, you've been scooped like ice cream

Your ass is fat, your frame is little

Got the door knockers on with your name in the middle

On the dance floor, gettin' it in with me

Might let you and your friend hit me

Soon as the wind hit me, I live there

Legendary, top of the globe

So there is no more room for anything more

And I state my name, my name's to claim

Jadakiss, I done came here and changed the game

Now we at the point where your birthdays is costly

Got you Escada'ed out and a teacup yorkie

Head so crazy that it's killin' me softly

Sit down, tell me how you want and how you need me

[Verse 5]

However do you want me?

(It's the raw Mary and Clue, please believe me)

However do you need me?

However do you want me? (DJ Clue)

However do you need me?

(Tell me what's goin' on)

However do you want me? (Mary J)

However do you need me?

However do you want me?

However do you need me? (That classic shit)

[Verse 6]

However do you want me? (Word up)

However do you need me?

However do you want me?

(You got to tell me what's goin' on)

However do you need me?

(The professional, part 2, ****)

However do you want me?

However do you need me? (Word)

However do you want me?

(I know you're always there)

However do you need me?

(Goin' out the door)

[Verse 7]

However do you want me?

However do you need me?

However do you want me?

However do you need me?

However do you want me?

I wonder

(Holla)

[Verse 8]

However do you want me?

However do you need me?

However do you want me?
