what do they want - 289edz lyrics
[verse 1]
i remember back then to a time when my brain just wasn’t so d*mn corrupted
i had an innocent soul
i could walk through life in peace and i wouldn’t malfunction (wouldn’t malfunction)
as i got older life having me perplexed ‘tween a crossroad or junction
and the princ*p*lities look at me with menacing eyes thinking why i don’t love them
(why you don’t love me?)
i know that following them gon’ lead to death so why i been flirting?
i let ’em get close to the touch, but i’m swerving
know i should be moving insurgent (‘surgent)
my heart gets cold and i’m hurting
lying to myself, then my toes been curling (can’t stand it)
then i go and say
“bun it, only living once”
“who’s gonna check me? no one, i’m certain”
ain’t it funny when i scroll through social media
seeing all these life insurance (policies)
is the universe trying to tell me something?
am i running out of endurance? (stamina)
i don’t want to be predestined to just endure it
but the powers are so alluring
there’s a darkness cloud consuming
snap to reality ‘fore it consume me
so i question (runnin’ out)
[chorus]
what do they want from me?
what do they want?
the ghoulish, the monsters, the powers
all the same ish, just a different font
i got plans, maybe ima be good today
but maybe i won’t
my intentions are pure and my heart gone numb
so who gon’ tell me i’m wrong?
what do they want from me?
what do they want?
the ghoulish, the monsters, the powers
all the same ish, just a different font
i got plans, maybe ima be good today
but maybe i won’t
my intentions are pure and my heart’s gone numb
so who gon’ tell me i’m wrong?
[verse 2]
don’t call me sir, i’m a young boy (and i been)
and i been a ninja turtle
i need to integrate some of that wisdom
master splinter for all of these hurdles
i wanna keep the mind sharp, be active
not staying out like the milk and curdle
at the same time, the bad guy says the right thing
but his smile’s telling me
i wanna hurt you
i feel intoxicated
fear, greed, and hatred
mr bad guy wanna go and keep me in that state where a man’s complacent
all the while ego slips something in my drink
so i’m feeling all proud and shameless
i’m shameless
saying pride dun come right before my fall
and it’s bait that a man’s been falling (falling)
pain, grief, wallowing in self pity, joy been stolen
don’t come knocking on my door, i won’t open
can’t you see that my spirit is broken? (broken)
say a prayer to the lord one time
how do i get deliverance from my sulking?
so i question
[chorus]
(ugh, i’m sad) what do they want from me?
(i’m sad, i’m sad) what do they want?
(i’m sad, i’m sad) the ghoulish, the monsters, the powers
all the same ish, just a different font
i got plans maybe ima be good today
but maybe i won’t (i’m shameless)
my intentions are pure but my heart’s gone numb
so who’s gon’ tell me i’m wrong? (sad and shameless)
[outro]
what do they want?
what do they want? (what do they want? what do they want? what do they want?)
what do they want?
my intentions are pure but my heart gone numb
so who gon’ tell me i’m
(who gon’ tell me i’m)
(who gon’ tell me i’m)
(who gon’ tell me i’m)
(who gon’ tell me i’m)
