Prince Paul - What I Need lyrics

[Intro: Kardinal Offishall] Yeah, uh huh uh huh Circle (huh), uh huh uh huh T-Dot, uh huh uh huh Kardinal, what it is though n***as Yo check it (what I need!) [Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall] What I need is for n***as to let me live (man, chill!) Deal with n***as who's blood spill Empty a couple clips and they label n***as a**a**ins Fact, show them my life is worth more than a contract (what I need) What I need is for chickens to stop tricking, licking the kitten And hitting every rap n***a's hit (what I need) What I need is for people to love one God, one ho, one time n***a, respect the rhyme (word) Chew the way that I flex, it's next level sh** Turn off the beats, I cross off the treble sh** What I need is for money to match clothes Fifty dollars a word (word), million dollars a show (show) Billion dollars a video, ten bucks a ho! Billion dollars a dozen, the Circle n***as know (yeah) One dollar per president, fifty cents a CEO Pay back but I still retake yo (blah!) [Hook: Prince Paul] We keep it hot when we up in the spot Everytime when we on the grind Make it happen if you calling the shots Do you and I'm a handle mine My 2-way and my cellular phone Be blowing up in a rediculous way Sipping the game like I'm slanging the zone The Mary Jane or a nickle of lle What I need [Verse 2: Sly Boogy] What I need is a first-cla** ticket And a five star luxury suite so I can kick it (what I need) What I need is a fat a** podium And my money up front when I'm packing a coliseum (what I need) What I need regular rotation across the nation On every radio station Now that you know n***a, what you gone do? And let me know so I can put the homies on too From day one you been jacking you jaw Like you is a boss hog n***a, raw acting a flaw Talking about the mad connects and you cash your checks But I have yet to see you flex and make it manifest Claiming you got the hooks sitting up in the cut When it's really another motherf**er plugging me up You question my credibility and test with threats But you better show respect when you address the vet (what I need) What I need is for you to quit bumping your gums And shut the f** up and quit jumping the gun Cause we on the same team and came for cream And we reign supreme, swimming in the mainstream (what I need) What I need is some peace of mind and a fine dime With an old piece behind Some sticky green lime and a bottle of wine So I can glide in my ride with the seats reclined [Hook: Prince Paul] [Outro: Announcer talking] Politics of the business Politics of the business Politics of the business Politics of the business
