If You Want It
I know that maybe this life can become a mess
Or maybe its just a test and you left the page on the desk
I'm coloring pictures with pencils could you pause for a bit
Cause I'm taking chances
Only eight you expected I carry a perfect manor
Finish your homework you may be crying it doesn't matter
Tears are just water if it was blood its a different matter
All of your teachers complaining
Each one of them is saying
that you keep on runnin' your mouth
How many times
Do I have to tell you there's times
When you talk
And there's times when you take the value
From listening to the man or the woman who is your teacher
Don't tell me it's your life
Who you think you are mister
Hope to God I never miss her
If you want it
If you want it
If you want it
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
If you want it
If you want it
If you want it
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
Pick a side get your mind right
Two fingers in the sky
Protesting like Martin Luther
We destined for better futures
I gave a piece of my soul to creatures who done polluted it
Keep your mind open
If it's closed its a coffin where
People cant deposit no knowledge
But don't follow people
Just because they went to college
Treat your brother right
In other words no violence
Keep a level head
Finish all the things you started
Never pick a wallet
If I catch you stealing
Youll regret it like my marriage
Or the murder of an Arab
Eat your carrots then you'll see better
Leave the sweets i know you're stealin' sugar
You should tell her that you really like her
Might make her happy
But remember you are still a minor
In the kitchen you should do the dishes
Your pen is broken
Be the one to fix it
I hope you listen
Damn
You better have a vision like a visionary
Momma was a missionary
Taking me to church since January
Told me once that I could fly
Like a blue canary
And every time that I was shy feelin' low
She told me
If you want it
If you want it
If you want it
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
If you want it
If you want it
If you want it
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
Pick a side get your mind right
Two fingers in the sky
Protesting like Martin Luther
We destined for better futures
I gave a piece of my soul to creatures who done polluted it
Pick a side get your mind right
Two fingers in the sky
Protesting like Martin Luther
We destined for better futures
I gave a piece of my soul to creatures who done polluted it
When you put niggas against the wall
It's apparent they've been involved
In the dealing of Marijuana
Students evolve
We pushing the product to perfect scholars
Changing the motto
And we was only in white collars
Stepping with caution
We killed the notion that we was on it
For more than a year at a most
Look back and table the loss
I would eventually come to know that it comes at a cost
Willin to pay it or not
Suffer the consequence of your actions
Diverge in different directions
They splittin' us into factions
The fact is society keeps on working to disadvantage
The vantage point of the masses
Cause masses have never mattered so
He said, I materialize my thoughts
And I'm on my way to a fortune
Pay up in advance
You can eat whatever you're ordered
Different color women
I know you like 'em assorted
Sorting out today
Will then make Tomorrow rewarding
I'm hopin' these words are golden like
If you want it
If you want it
If you want it
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
If you want it
If you want it
If you want it
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
These niggas wanna take it from you
Pick a side get your mind right
Two fingers in the sky
Protesting like Martin Luther
We destined for better futures
I gave a piece of my soul to creatures who done polluted it
Pick a side get your mind right
Two fingers in the sky
Protesting like Martin Luther
We destined for better futures
I gave a piece of my soul to creatures who done polluted it
People who speak the truth
Are a current need in the space we call life
And survival is a necessity when your rivals
Are sleepin' next to their rifles
I'm wondering if you counting your blessings
The lessons I reckon
Are heavily learned
A major concern
In your wake are you leaving the truth
Or deceiving the youth
You and your current brothers in arms
Colors and charms
Hiding the bombs
Corrupting their minds
Painting their souls black with time
Cause it takes time to redefine
A pure light into a dark knight
Who'll never save a life
So we live on the lifelines
I'm chasing the safe side
If you wanna live it then settle down for the ride
But its rigorous so be careful that you don't get left behind
Like my backside or the black pride
Its no wonder Siya said it was a lie
Cause in truth we're just livin different lies
Fixin our disguises and you wonder why we're silent
But then what do I know
Or maybe its just a test and you left the page on the desk
I'm coloring pictures with pencils could you pause for a bit
Cause I'm taking chances
Only eight you expected I carry a perfect manor
Finish your homework you may be crying it doesn't matter
