Best Man movie - What You Want lyrics

rate me

Song by The Roots f/ Jaguar<br /><br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Here's what you want right<br>

Here's what you need right<br>

We got to give you more<br>

Of what you're lookin for<br>

<br>

So it's a secret that's been pent up inside for years<br>

Exclusive type, only for your eyes and ears<br>

You held it in for so long you bursted into tears<br>

The letters spilled slowly across the page like a world premiere<br>

Well I ain't, the bullshit begins here<br>

The obvious cause, the effects is unclear<br>

The punishment for crimes of the heart could be severe<br>

Though to keep it on the low is a heavy cross to bear<br>

You deep now, submerged with no signs of air<br>

Still your sunken heart thumpin like the kick in a snare<br>

While on the surface it's all turnin to a circus<br>

That's why you're nervous, and you got a right to be<br>

Cause if somebody woulda done that shit to me<br>

I mean my best man hittin my wife-to-be<br>

My sentiments exactly would be history<br>

Y'know what I'm sayin my peoples in the place let's hit it off one two<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

<br>

Yo, it's like nothin changed, it's all the same thang<br>

The same characters in a book, with different names<br>

It's a lot more to lose than you got to gain<br>

You a lot more confused than hip to the game<br>

The peep the script of the game the price is pain<br>

Men and women get into things, now who's to blame?<br>

When everybody whisperin bout whatever took place<br>

And how the fact twist a knot with a straight face<br>

And lies, hard to swallow from the bitter taste<br>

Well that's a point in the past that can't be erased<br>

So motivate, though it's hard to let it ride<br>

Or set aside true feelings, underhand dealings<br>

Our lost trust, I wonder if we lost us<br>

It's bigger than me and you, it's monstrous<br>

So I'ma, just calm down and try to relax<br>

Before I clap ??<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

<br>

If you could only flash back and undo our actions<br>

Change what happens, dissect the fractions<br>

A time to rewind and be recorded absent<br>

For real cause these memories is photographic<br>

Pornographic, pushing me close to madness<br>

Head heavy like I'm trippin on tablets<br>

Yesterday as I recall was all fabulous I thought so<br>

But now it feel like shots hittin my torso<br>

Spent a lotta time and trust in the wrong place<br>

Fought a lotta fights rollin with the wrong ace<br>

Love, stronger than pride, we could end disgrace<br>

I need, room the think, and space to ventilate<br>

Was solid as a rock, shall not disintegrate<br>

Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate<br>

For real, ya, it's ill, ya, my peoples in the place....<br>

<br>

[CHORUS (repeat to end, with Black Thought adlibbing)]<br>

<br>
