Lupe Fiasco What U Want
[Verse 1:]
When the night falls,
She had to call it a street life,
See the figure of the street lights
Wanna know what it be like when it be right... there.
Black lipstick, tattoos of the peace sign
Plus the mark of the beast sign, oh night please be kind,
Baby girl has no... fears.
Tight clothing,
Blowing cigarette smoke in slow motion
Offered a love potion, but it's frozen
Thinks the world's so insincere
Now she dancing with strangers
She don't know they name no
The city exclaimed her but she doesn't care
[Chorus: x2]
What you want want
What you want want
Come and get it get it
What you want want
What you want want want
[Verse 2:]
When the night falls
She had to call it a bright life
See the shine in the spotlights
Wanna know what that like when it be right... there.
White liar, put her name in their headlines
Taking pictures on her website
Just so weathered in the headlights
Baby girl don't you be... scared
Red carpet, on the arms of an artist
Is starlit on the star-less paparazzi target
Things being normal's just so unfair
She knows that it's dangerous, she wants to be famous
But she's not ashamed 'cause it ain't nothing there
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3:]
When the day comes
And they looking far away from, where they came from
See the night has betrayed them, told em it would stay young
Told them they would stay young
Now they see the sun
The night's on the run right before the rise
Black mascara's running from their eyes
But big girls don't cry
You'll be alright
It'll be tonight(tonight)
They'll put back on the lights.
[Chorus x2]
