lyrics

What do people want? (Bling, Bling Me Babber) Thu, October 1, 2009 - 1:54 PM

What do people want? Don't front...
Do you want pills, booze, coke, by Monday you're broke?

Dat superficial chick dat you'll only get with coke?
She's superficial, it's a good thing if you haven't got a hope

But what if you believe in you? you got the skills,
I'm talking 'bout the charm, not pulling on pills.

It's all good, what, even if we're on it all day?
You were having a great chat before she snorted some K.

Judges, police and lawyers in office walk with
Wraps of cocaine, usually inside top pocket.

If the system... sounds like a hypocrite then...
Drugs are definitely a corporate entity.

They don't really want drugs, just fun all night
They couldn't do drugs if they were too busy making love right?

Sex is good... but making loves better
even better where there's passion, n you intuitively get her.

CHORUS
What do people want?.. the drugs, the bling?
The money, the girls, want to... be king?

What do people want?.. the drugs, the bling?
The money, the girls, want to... be king?

BREAK
You only want the drugs for the girls.
You only want the coke for the confidence to get one.

You're only smoking weed to chill until the next one.
You only want the bling to get the girls attention.

So you only want the girl! But you already knew!
Ladies, big up the Goddess, it's all about you.

It's always been about you before Helen of Troy.
Nothing really matters, we've got love to enjoy.

You only want the girl! But you already knew!
Ladies, big up the Goddess, it's all about you.

But if you wanna attract her, to your 7th chakra
You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!

VERSE 2
What do people want? Financial security?
The yards, the cars, the cribs, the whips, the jewellery?

Glamour it up - big house, big truck,
Basketball court in the garden lit up?

Phat car Westwood or Xzibit pimped up?
And maybe a harem to pick from for a quick - no?

Maybe just the knowledge your not gonna go poor?
Gucci and Prada? There's loads more one could hope for.

If you've got love you'll be even more secure.
You never need to go without a roof and four walls.

You never go hungry if you got good friends,
What depends on whether you eat on the bus or in a Benz?

Whether you go shopping for Henlys in Bentlys,
Or walk with bent knees share love now, gents please!

Yes to more cash, 'gimme sum mo' but I got loves security
Besides I'd only get a gold-digga by flashing my jewellery!

CHORUS
What do people want?.. the drugs, the bling?
The money, the girls, want to... be king?

What do people want?.. the drugs, the bling?
The money, the girls, want to... be king?

MINI BREAK
You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!
You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!

You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!
You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!

Verse 3
I visualise with minds eyes what the wise buys
Beyond the superficial - what he buys spreads vibes!

Visualise SM58s... and radio mics
For blessing every state all day and every night.

Maybe he manifests a mini-rig for busking...
for spreading one love and to attract more abundance!

Visualise new laptops to record new tunes
Hip-Hop, Dubstep, Jungle, New Grooves.

The best things I learned lessons to appreciate my bredrins
I'm gonna buy my best friends some well deserved next level presents.

International train tickets! Morroco so far
Next, Goa - professional writer with chauffeur!

Cos I pimped out my bredrins van for towing
My pimped out caravan, think bout how the mans flowing! ;-)

But you wouldn't wanna buy a 7th Chakra partner,
Magnetically attract her, rep yourself harder.

CHORUS
What do people want?.. the drugs, the bling?
The money, the girls, want to... be king?

What do people want?.. the drugs, the bling?
The money, the girls, want to... be king?

BREAK/OUTRO
You only want the drugs for the girls.
You only want the coke for the confidence to get one.

You're only smoking weed to chill until the next one.
You only want the bling to get the girls attention.

So you only want the girl! But you already knew!
Ladies, big up the Goddess, it's all about you.

It's always been about you before Helen of Troy.
Nothing really matters, we've got love to enjoy.

You only want the girl! But you already knew!
Ladies, big up the Goddess, it's all about you.

But if you wanna attract her, to your 7th chakra
You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!

You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!
You'll need more than 'bling, bling' me babber!
