The What

[spoken word sample intro]
Mic check, mic check

Who want the what what?
Okay, okay, who want the what what?
What’s up, what’s up, who want the what what?
Okay, okay, who want the what?

I wanna be a leader
I wanna be a star
I wanna see Ibiza
I wanna go and ball
Right now I wanna get away
Right now I want it all
Right now I wanna buy the land to bring back Southwyck Mall
I always wanted respect, I just wanted some sneaks
I always wanted a Tek, I just wanted a piece
The American Dream, I just wanted a slice
Please stop the global warming, yo, I just want some ice
I never wanted a job, yo, I ain’t want a boss
Ain’t nothing wrong with 9-5, but I was calling off
I wanted opportunity, I wanna kiss the rain
I wanna change the world, maybe you feel the samе
Don’t wanna worry about who is following me
Just wanna give to those that need it, anonymously
Fuck pеrformative activism, that was never cool
And I ain’t trying to diss like I’m the better dude
I just wanna express everything on my mind
Want a release ‘cuz peace has been so hard to find
I wanna get to know you, I wanna call you mine
Wanna do everything, but I need all the time

Who want the what what?
Okay, okay, who want the what what?
What’s up, what’s up, who want the what what?
Okay, okay, who want the what?

Back when I needed intros
Back when I needed ends
Back when I needed family and when I needed friends
Back when I needed my hometown to see the shit
Back when I needed my own style to be legit
Back when I needed my sis, when I needed my mom
Back when I needed Tre to teach me how to rhyme
But then I needed validation, telling how I feel
Going noodles for the music, need a rhyming deal
But now it’s clear and so I happen to see
How we afflicted back as children ain’t a natural thing
If this the only thing you catch, forget the rest of the rhymes
I’m tryna give you words of wisdom ‘till the end of your times, okay
I needed the vision so I could see through your eyes
I needed the love, better stop feeding ‘em lies
The answer came from the beginning, how we need to live
To be a better man, I need to be a better kid
