Wants & Needs

Tell me what you want
Falling to my knees
Tell me what you please
Falling to my knees

See I want a whole lot of money
Want a whole lot of cars
Want to be left alone when I'm writing these songs
I want a whole lotta knowledge
I want to be a king
But at the same time I just want to be unseen
When I'm walking down the street I want them to turn they heads
I want them to talk about me long after I'm dead
I want to be great whatever that means anyway
I want peace but I don't think I'm ever gonna see a world
Where everybody eat
Everybody fair
At the moment everybody shoot
Everybody dead
I want to be close with God but whenever I call
It feels like I don't get an answer on my cellular phone
I want the fire to stop but I like the warmth
I want to dance a little longer before it rains and pours
Act like everything's fine behind closed doors
In actuality duality is leaving me torn
Dance dance dance dance
Acting like the world ain't damned damned damned
Care less about God than Uncle Sam Sam Sam
I'm just chilling kicking back like Jean Claud Van Damn
Watch our leaders pull strings like a puppet or a mandolin
Hands getting hot from the pans we be handling
Look outside the Forrest on fire like cannabis
And all of the youth are gonna have to pay the damages

So what do you want what do you want
Yeah yeah
What do you want what do you want
Yeah Yeah
Is it money is it power is it peace is it knowledge?
Is it love is it truth is it greed is it enough?
I said is it enough I said is it enough

Take a good look at me couple demons on my shoulders
Really I just wanna be loved like it ain't a burden
Maybe that verb is uncertain
Maybe I just wanna be hugged and told that I'm worth it
I'm tired of acting like I can't show emotion
Just because I was born a man means I can't be open
I want to open my Bible and feel like I understand
I want to open my heart without a shield in my hand
And I need truth
I'm tried of deciphering all the E-news
Showing me stories about the killings and rapings telling me to pick a side
I want to turn it off but I wanna know what's going on outside
I like the drama
I got money in my pocket but I'm driving past homeless on my way to a diploma
Holy spirt convicting me telling me to pick a side
Either you add to the fire or live to see it die
So tell me

So what do you want what do you want
Yeah yeah
What do you want what do you want
Yeah Yeah
Is it money is it power is it peace is it knowledge?
Is it love is it truth is it greed is it enough?
I said is it enough I said is it enough
No It's never enough
