What You Want Lyrics

I know what you want
I know what you need
I know what you feel

It ain't real and

Brings me down, makes me wanna cry, oh yeah
When I forget where I come from
And I just lose my mind, oh yeah

I know what you want
Freedom makes you strong
I may not be right
I ain't wrong and

Brings me down, makes me wanna cry, oh yeah
When I forget where I come from
And I just lose my mind, oh yeah
But some things never change, oh yeah

I know what you want

C'mon, c'mon take a ride down the back street
Holdin' with the flys don't ya know we go relaxin'
And dancin', checkin' out the chickens while we passin'
Stay collapsin' speak 'cause why we go around blastin'

We go backin' to an' all my see's I'm the boy with the new shit
Fuck around with DJ Rhyme and breeze
You begin to seize the reality, I know what you want
And I'm manifest destiny

Brings me down, makes me wanna cry, oh yeah
When I forget where I come from
And I just lose my mind, oh yeah
But some things never change, oh yeah

I know what you want
I know what you want
I know what you want
I know what you want

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
