Roots - What You Want lyrics
rate me[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)]
