[Intro: Kardinal Offishall] |
|
Yeah, uh huh uh huh |
|
Circle (huh), uh huh uh huh |
|
T-Dot, uh huh uh huh |
|
Kardinal, what it is though niggaz |
|
Yo check it (what I need!) |
|
[Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall] |
|
What I need is for niggaz to let me live (man, chill!) |
|
Deal with niggaz who's blood spill |
|
Empty a couple clips and they label niggaz assassins |
|
Fact, show them my life is worth more than a contract (what I need) |
|
What I need is for chickens to stop tricking, licking the kitten |
|
And hitting every rap nigga's hit (what I need) |
|
What I need is for people to love one God, one hoe, one time |
|
Nigga, respect the rhyme (word) |
|
Chew the way that I flex, it's next level shit |
|
Turn off the beats, I cross off the treble shit |
|
What I need is for money to match clothes |
|
Fifty dollars a word (word), million dollars a show (show) |
|
Billion dollars a video, ten bucks a hoe! |
|
Billion dollars a dozen, the Circle niggaz know (yeah) |
|
One dollar per president, fifty cents a CEO |
|
Pay back but I still retake yo (blah!) |
|
[Chorus: Prince Paul] |
|
We keep it hot when we up in the spot |
|
Everytime when we on the grind |
|
Make it happen if you calling the shots |
|
Do you and I'm a handle mine |
|
My 2-way and my cellular phone |
|
Be blowing up in a rediculous way |
|
Sipping the game like I'm slanging the zone |
|
The Mary Jane or a nickle of lle |
|
What I need |
|
[Verse 2: Sly Boogy] |
|
What I need is a first-class ticket |
|
And a five star luxury suite so I can kick it (what I need) |
|
What I need is a fat ass podium |
|
And my money up front when I'm packing a coliseum (what I need) |
|
What I need regular rotation across the nation |
|
On every radio station |
|
Now that you know nigga, what you gone do? |
|
And let me know so I can put the homies on too |
|
From day one you been jacking you jaw |
|
Like you is a boss hog nigga, raw acting a flaw |
|
Talking about the mad connects and you cash your checks |
|
But I have yet to see you flex and make it manifest |
|
Claiming you got the hooks sitting up in the cut |
|
When it's really another motherfucker plugging me up |
|
You question my credibility and test with threats |
|
But you better show respect when you address the vet (what I need) |
|
What I need is for you to quit bumping your gums |
|
And shut the fuck up and quit jumping the gun |
|
Cause we on the same team and came for cream |
|
And we reign supreme, swimming in the mainstream (what I need) |
|
What I need is some peace of mind and a fine dime |
|
With an old piece behind |
|
Some sticky green lime and a bottle of wine |
|
So I can glide in my ride with the seats reclined |
|
[Chorus: Prince Paul] |
|
[Outro: Announcer talking] |
