"I Want" lyrics

"I Want"

I finally made some time for me
I'm happy, I'm calm, I'm jiggy, I'm sweet
I'm chasing my dreams, you're aggy with me
'Cause I didn't fit in the mould of your schemes
I'm reckless enough to go spend all my P's
But cautious enough to invest in my dreams
The vision, the board, the flying abroad
The Gucci, the Prada, you're lost in the sauce
I'm lost in the stew
I'm lost in a concept of fixing a brew
Identity crisis for me and my crew
We're Black and we're British and African, too
But so far removed
I'd like to go back to my mother's land
I'd like mental peace and a hundred grand
And a peng-ass babes and we'll do up raves
Like it's '98, I'm so '94

But I want what I want, and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah
See, I want what I want, and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah

I want a lot less work, a lot more money
A vacation home, a Nigerian honey
Who laughs at my jokes even when they're not funny
Support my cause and I'll support yours
Buy me a Benz, look, I'll buy you a Bimmer
Posted in Jamaica, Beenie Man, zim-zimma
A Honda Accord, who's got the keys to the Porsche?
False, he's got some keys to a Ford
I'm so flawed, but that's calm
I can't sleep, I take Kalms
Herbal remedies like tea for me
Boujee-ass bitches drinking wine and cheese
Catch me in the dance drinking wine, say, "Cheese"
You got that foot-in-your-mouth situation
I've got that foot-up-my-ass inspiration
World domination (Ippa-dippa-dation)

But I want what I want, and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah
See, I want what I want, and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah

Make up your mind
You gotta make up your mind
Make up your mind, yeah
