(Chorus) Forgetting the things you want Versus getting the things that you need And tell me how bad do you want it And tell me how much of it's greed (Abstract Rude) You want wine need water These rhymes we offer the kind of authors To knock ya out of ignorance End of the innocence begin to the finishing With the men significant welfare recipients Tragic Addicts with a bad habit Somebody's baby's momma at the Carter In the new jack city Oh what a pity This again locked up for soliciting Oldest profession the men buy So it's selling You want pork need veggies For your bone support be ready for armageddi Hold the fort down Go through the court trial get acquitted Be committed to the sacrifice It's a lotta pie Ab get a slice (Chorus) And tell me how bad you want it And tell me how much of it's greed Forgetting the things that you want Versus getting the things that you need And tell me how bad do you want it And tell me mow much of it's greed Forgetting the things that you want Versus getting the things that you need (Mikah 9) Right about now a nigga drunk Been smoking some ole janky Rolled stress blunts I want skunk I really want my baby momma cunt She kick it with punks When I know a family man what she want Bitch made niggas on the rag every month I should just punt fools like footballs My goals to make you look Yo I could call some stunts From porno industries Or get some from in the streets Shady heat that's meant for me But what I want and what I need Should be about me and my seeds Cause sometimes I have flashbacks Of chopping crack and weed Moving X and LSD having sex with more than 3 Busting checks for 50 gees Cashing checks and pushing keys Vexed and connects with the greed I process Take the rolex off your wrist Take the roladex off your desk But in the long run I'm a strong son Those klepto days done my life reflects Universal cause and effect in every action I'm sorry my karma ran over your dogma Loved one don't be upset We can still pop a bottle then we can get lit up and wet The common ground is the love we all express Whoever got a problem with that deserves what they get (Chorus) Forgetting the things that you want Versus getting the things that you need And tell me how bad do you want it And tell me how much of it's greed Forgetting the things that you want Versus getting the things that you need (Aceyalone) Man, I want money I need food I want clothes I need housing I want cars I need good health I need knowledge of self I got knowledge of self I want peace but I need help I want to do right but I need the mic I want wings but they gave me a bike I need light I want the blacks to know they need the facts I want a Cadillac but I need tracks to make stacks I want a million in the bank and a pound of dank But I need to think cause I could sink And get caught up in the funk stank I want to pull rank but I need to be a saint And so I need a prayer and after that I need a drink Cause I want to be wanted need To be needed but I want to stay blunted And need to be weeded for my own goodness sake I want to escape but I need to set you straight So tell me how bad do you want it punk And tell me how much of it's greed Versus getting the things that you want pumpkin Or getting the things that you need sucker (Chorus)
