Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Said it's my desire
Yes it is yeah
Yes it is
Yes it is
Oh yes it is
[Verse 2]
Comprehend the guidelines
My chest out chinchilla
All relaxed on the sidelines
I'm so famous understand
New York City respect my game
Like Joe Namath
And I protect my name
Like yo anus in prison
Ya'll don't hear me
Ya'll don't listen
Ya'll just wanna shine
Ya'll just want to glisten
Floss knowing that the soul is still missing
(Who am I?)
I'm the poetical pastor
Slave to a label but I own my masters
Still get it poppin'
Without artist and repertoire
'Cause Monch is a monarch
Only minus the A&R
When my brain excels
Ya train derails
Pop shit make you feel The Clipse
Like Pharell
[Verse 3]
You will feel me
You will admire (My)
Struggle (My)
Hustle (My)
Soul desire
[Verse 4]
Said it's my desire
Yes it is yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Said it's my desire
[Verse 5]
My book is a ovary
The pages I lust to turn
My pen's the penis
When I write the ink's the sperm
Desire the fire that ignites
The torch to burn
(This is not rocket science)
This is easy to learn
My mic's the gavel
When I talk courts adjourned
Respect even if you was ashes
You couldn't earn
I embody antibiotics
You are infected with germs
Rap's fatally ill
Please stick to serum
Players pick turns to play
Get burned
I color commentate the game like chick perms
This is the moment of truth
For my opponents and liars
Focus alone invoke the emotions of black choirs
Fire you don't wanna get burned like Rich Pryor
Move back
Who's that there to live wire
[Verse 6]
You will feel me
You will admire (My)
Struggle (My)
Hustle (My)
Soul desire
[Verse 7]
Said it's my desire
Yes it is yeah
Yes my desire
People should keep fighting
My passion
My fire
Yes my desire
People should keep fighting
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yes my desire
People should keep fighting
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yes my desire
People should keep fighting
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
