Lyrics
(It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want)
Nastradamus, skama lit, know when I rep
Flow when I'm set, I got the chips to make a lotus my whip
Gold on my neck was once a code of respect
For high rollers and vets, now it's loads of baguettes
Prefer a Mac-10 over a Tec, no matter sober or wet
I smack soldier cadets, trees that might eject my hype back
Famous phrase, "****, light that"
Hoes you fuck ask you, "Where your ice at, dunn?"
It's all about playboys, when we was young
Could only get tongue, then finally we can cum
Bustin' in hoes, guzzlin' fours
Crack blitz, '86, you turn hustling pro
From bottles, to seven in your hand
To fake Pepsis, to get to the crack, unscrew the can
Gleam blunted, seein' hunnids, stacks of boy with a lean on it
We got it if the fiends want it
The whole block singin' the same theme, "Don it"
Fuck it, too many crabs in the bucket
If it's ice work, I'm gon' truck it
You gotta love it
(It's what they want
It's what they want)
Fuck it, you gotta love it
(It's what they want
It's what they want)
Fuck it, you gotta love it
(It's what they want
It's what they want)
Fuck it, you gotta love it
(It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want)
Some girls get too emotional, fanatic extremist
Compulsive, with malice incentives, the foulest of bitches
Hunger my riches, her childish wishes
Be suspicious of those sleepin' with fishes, them hoes
Conspicuous, and it shows, trickin' this dough
Kickin' this flow, slip and you fold
So, when your click roll, I let my clips go
**** on opposite poles
I got that confident soul, for those locked in a hole
Inhumane, livin' hostile opposed
To livin' on the street, proper from my top to my toes
Aeropostale my clothes, Vernon **** in suburbans with liquor
Preposterous foes, finicky foul ****
See **** and Blacks, there goes a loud difference
Coke sniffin', tappin' thirteen year old chickens
You can't be a kingpin when you snitching
Regardless, we still make you a target
We shoot you in jail, chrome objects
Hit you in your own projects, it's street-onomics
This rhyme is edited, credited through ebonics
Miserable cats, hunger painin'
Get off your ass, stop complainin'
My crew be in Montego Bay, marguer-enin'
Marinatin' while you home, waitin' your arraignment
This thug life you claimed it, I make millions from entertainment
Now back in the hood, certain cats, they wanna kill me
They ice grill me, but on the low, **** feel me
You gotta love it
Fuck it, you gotta love it
(It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want)
Fuck it, you gotta love it
(It's what they want
It's what they want)
Fuck it, you gotta love it
(It's what they want)
(It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want
It's what they want)
(It's what they want
It's what they want)
