What They Want

[Chorus]
I know what they want from me
Tryna give in to the spirit that they puttin’ on me, I’ma get it off of me (Get it off of me)
They rather have it hard for me
They wanna see a black flag, black mask layin’ in a box awkwardly (In a box awkwardly)
I know what they want from me
So everywhere I go I make sure I’m shinin’, my nigga, that’s the star in me (That’s the star in me)

[Verse]
I know people change, they could be your day one
We the ones your mama tell you stay away from
And I do the same things that keep you safe from
Don’t gotta explain, you know what I came from
They move around but it’s really no movement
Smokin’ gas on the Citi bike cruisin’
You find out very soon the hood is inclusive
So many homicides, no one’s exclusive
All that dissin’, back and forth, it’s like cool
You got some views, I got some views, we in tune
Somehow they got us brainwashed like boom
The cemetery the only place that got room
You don't wanna slow down (You don't wanna slow down)
And if he don’t understand that you ain’t his no more, then we could let the pole fly (We gon’ let the pole fly)
What the fuck is romance? (What the fuck is romance?)
Only when my niggas die that’s the only time I see them hold hands (See them hold hands)

[Chorus]
I know what they want from me
Tryna give in to the spirit that they puttin’ on me, I’ma get it off of me (Get it off of me)
They rather have it hard for me
They wanna see a black flag, black mask layin’ in a box awkwardly (In a black box awkwardly)
I know what they want from me
So everywhere I go I make sure I’m shinin’, my nigga, that’s the star in me (That’s the star in me)

[Outro]
I know people change, they could be your day one
We the ones your mama tell you stay away from
And I do the same things that keep you safe from
Don’t gotta explain, you know what I came from
