| Now we all got the need for greed, don’t front
|
| Then you’re seperatin your needs from your wants
|
| Cause if you knowin the game
|
| You know a need and a want is two totally different thangs
|
| Like — we need the good life — but we don’t wanna work for it
|
| We need Jesus — but won’t go to church for him
|
| Need an answer? |
| Raise your hand for it
|
| Need change? |
| Well you might wan' stand up for it
|
| Want somethin to grow? |
| Plant that seed
|
| Cause the change won’t come until you do that deed
|
| Needs are for the future, wants are what your past fo'
|
| And what you need ain’t always what you ask fo'
|
| So let the past go, and see what’s greater
|
| You know you need it so you better love your haters
|
| Follow these rules and you up to speed
|
| It’s normal to want, but never forget what you need — aight?!
|
| We want what we want
|
| We want what we see
|
| We want so much that we forgot what it is
|
| We want what we want
|
| We want what we see
|
| Is it the greed or is it that we live in poverty?
|
| We chase that American dream
|
| 'til we old and we out of steam
|
| Tryin to get all the shiny things
|
| So they be like OH MY GOD
|
| So busy tryin to live like stars
|
| Tryin to cop them mansions and cars
|
| They gettin theirs so you better get yours
|
| Then we forget what we workin for
|
| Ha~! |
| It’s got a ring to it, don’t it
|
| You don’t need to put your damn sho' on it
|
| And right now we livin for the moment
|
| But if we wanted the moment, we could really own it
|
| I got dreams now watch what it’s taking
|
| We got to rock y’all stop being lazy
|
| We want the same thing, I can admit it
|
| But do you want it bad enough to get it?
|
| Just know (we want, we want, we want)
|
| We want — what (we want, we want, we want)
|
| We want — and (we want, we want, we want)
|
| But we don’t even know, what we need
