However You Want It (Album Version)

However You Want It - Wyclef Jean

Written by：Wyclef Jean

However you want it you don't want it

'Cuz when you get it it hurts

Your body carried out the church

Mom she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

They shoulda took me first

However you want it you don't want it

'Cuz when you get it it hurts

Your body carried out the church

Mom she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

Ai yo what y'all thought I was too busy

Writin' songs with Whitney Houston

'Cuz my love is your love will be my slugs with blood

For any thug that wanna bang and play orangutan

Find yourself in the river with the rest of them

Wake up wake up I'm in a nightmare dream

Where I found myself loadin' magazines after magazines

Ski mask on my face gun on my waist

Fine pens shakin' in my hand as I write this next line

You look strange shootin' victims at close range

And saw his vein burst from his neck

As I snatched his chain

Is this a bible I used to read the gospel

Until I got betrayed by one of my twelve disciples

Which one look through the crowd son

You could spot the traitor with a tatto on his arm

The symbol is a microphone an intellectual

A wannabe Rakim but too extraterrestrial

I heard he's lethal and I'm too rusty to battle him

Me being rusty is like biggie not being born again

It never happen watch who you call fam

On MTV he painted himself as the tin man

Predicted platinum way before it happened

So that's why when you ship gold you only sold aluminum

And now you wanna tell everybody I messed up your record c'mon

However you want it you don't want it

'Cuz when you get it it hurts

Your body carried out the church

Mom she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

They shoulda took me first

However you want it you don't want it

'Cuz when you get it it hurts

Your body carried out the church

Mom she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

You a thug you ain't a murderer just an undercover Caligula

'Cuz when you saw the luger became silent like Caesar

Enough of this rap stuff sedeck take his watch

If I wasn't rappin' I'd take that stash in your left socks

Don't make me raise my voice 'cuz I'm masterin' a coo

So and besides when they find you you'll be bones

Mom say watch my peers hangin' like chandeliers

Orderin' don p you couldn't pay for one beer

Perpetratin' a fraud oh God you ain't hard

Take thirty of y'all

To murder one kid on the boulevard

You want Wyclef Jean bring your same thug guys

Here's my advice leave the ring with your bride

'Cuz you ain't comin' back no more

We gon send you to a vacation

For two with crabs on the seashore

You freeze up hold up I really thought you was psychotic

Is that tears in your eyes you cryin' for your life

Kid you tellin' me what you did

You didn't wanna do

Watch what you say on record 'cuz it might come true

However you want it you don't want it

'Cuz when you get it it hurts

Your body carried out the church

Mom she be cryin' holdin'

On to her purse sayin'

They shoulda took me first

However you want it you don't want it

'Cuz when you get it it hurts

Your body carried out the church

Mom she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

Should I take them should I wait

Should I take them should I wait

Should I take them should I wait

I say no woman no cry

Like I should own a piece of the estate

But at the tribute they didn't invite me

So I put in a call to Halis Alassi

He said be easy ain't no need to bust a shot

Like supercat said yo the ghetto's red hot
