How Do You Want It
2Pac/KC and JoJo Lyrics

How do you want it? How does it feel?
Asking how the listener wants to experience the song and its lyrics.

Comin' up as a nigga in the cash game livin' in the fast lane, I'm for real
Growing up as a black man in the financial world while living fast and with authenticity.

Love the way you activate your hips and push your ass out
Appreciation for the shape and movements of a woman's body.

Got a nigga wantin' it so bad I'm bout to pass out
Expressing strong desire for the woman's body.

Wanna dig you, and I can't even lie about it
Admitting attraction to the woman and being honest about it.

Baby just alleviate your clothes, time to fly up out it
Encouraging the woman to remove her clothes and let go of her inhibitions.

Catch you at a club, oh shit you got me fiendin' body talkin' shit to me but I can't comprehend the meaning
Feeling drawn to the woman's body, but having trouble understanding the message it's sending.

Now if you wanna roll with me, then here's your chance
Offering a chance to accompany the artist and live a fast-paced lifestyle.

Doin' eighty on the freeway, police catch me if you can
Driving fast and recklessly, challenging the authorities to catch him if they can.

Forgive me I'm a rider, still I'm just a simple man
Apologizing for being a wild and reckless person but also being honest about his true nature and simplicity.

All I want is money, fuck the fame I'm a simple man
Expressing a desire for wealth over the superficiality of fame.

Mr. International, playa with the passport
Referring to himself as an international player with the means and ability to travel the world.

Just like Aladdin bitch, get you anything you ask for
Comparing himself to the fictional character Aladdin and boasting about his ability to grant any wish or desire.

It's either him or me, champagne, Hennessey
A choice between the artist and a competitor, with expensive drinks being involved.

A favorite of my homies when we floss, on our enemies
Enjoying expensive things with friends while also using their wealth to intimidate enemies.

Witness as we creep to a low speed, peep what a hoe need
Moving slowly and secretly while taking note of what a woman wants.

Puff some mo' weed, funk, ya don't need
Suggesting getting high and ignoring negative vibes.

Approachin' hoochies with a passion, been a long day
Approaching women with desire and energy despite exhaustion from a long day.

But I've been driven by attraction in a strong way
Admitting that his attraction to women is a powerful force in his life.

Your body is bangin' baby I love it when you flaunt it
Enjoying a woman's body when she shows it off with pride.

Time to give it to daddy nigga now tell me how you want it (Tell me how you want it!)
Suggesting sexual activity and asking the woman how she likes it.

Tell me is it cool to fuck?
Asking for consent before engaging in sexual activity.

Did you think I come to talk am I a fool or what?
Asserting that the artist is not interested in small talk or wasting time.

Positions on the floor it's like erotic, ironic 'cause I'm somewhat psychotic
Describing a sexual encounter on the floor and acknowledging the tension between eroticism and a hint of craziness.

I'm hittin' switches on bitches like I been fixed with hydraulics
Using the metaphor of a lowrider car to describe sexual activity with multiple women.

Up and down like a roller coaster, I'm up inside ya I ain't quittin' til the show is over
Comparing the sexual act to a thrilling roller coaster ride with the determination to continue until completion.

'Cause I'ma rider in and out just like a robbery, I'll probably be a freak and let you get on top of me,
Referring to the artist's willingness to take control and be dominated in sexual activity.

Get her rockin' these nights full of Alize, a livin' legend
Drinking Alize and becoming a living legend in the process.

You ain't heard about these niggas play these Cali days
Boasting about the artists from California that people should know about.

Delores Tucker, youse a motherfucker
Calling out Delores Tucker for her attempts to suppress the artist's music and message.

Instead of tryin' to help a nigga you destroy a brother
Accusing Delores Tucker of hurting the artist's community instead of helping it.

Worse than the others, Bill Clinton, Mr. Bob Dole
Comparing Delores Tucker to politicians Bill Clinton and Bob Dole who are perceived as bad.

You're too old to understand the way the game is told
Claiming that Delores Tucker is too old and out of touch to understand the artist's message.

You're lame so I gotta hit you with the hot facts
Calling out Delores Tucker as uncool and delivering the truth to her.

Want some on lease? I'm makin' millions, niggas top that
Boasting about the artist's wealth and success compared to others.

They wanna censor me; they'd rather see me in a cell
Feeling oppressed by those who want to suppress his message and would rather see him imprisoned.

Livin' in hell, only a few of us'll live to tell
Recognizing the harsh reality of living in a difficult and dangerous world where only a few survive to share their story.

Now everybody talkin' bout us I could give a fuck I'd be the first one to bomb and cuss
Being unbothered by negative talk about the artist and being willing to retaliate with force.

Raised as a youth, tell the truth I got the scoop on how to get a bulletproof
Growing up with knowledge on how to protect oneself.

Because I jumped from the roof before I was a teenager, mobile phone, SkyPager game rules, I'm livin' major, my adversaries
Boasting about youthful bravery, modern technology, and a luxurious lifestyle despite having enemies.

Is lookin' worried, they paranoid of gettin' buried
Making enemies fearful of retaliation and potential death.

One of us gon' see the cemetery
Predicting that an inevitable confrontation will result in death for one party involved.

My only hope to survive if I wish to stay alive
Expressing the desire to survive in a dangerous world.

Gettin' high, see the demons in my eyes, before I die
Acknowledging the struggle with addiction and the fear of dying before overcoming it.

I wanna live my life and ball, make a couple million
Aspiring to live life to the fullest and achieve financial success.

And then I'm chillin' fade 'em all, these taxes
Relaxing and enjoying life after achieving financial success and dealing with issues such as taxes.

Got me crossed up and people tryin' to sue me
Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by those trying to exploit or harm the artist.

Media is in my business and they actin like they know me
Feeling that the media intrudes in the artist's personal life and claims to understand him without truly knowing him.

Hahaha, but I'ma mash out, peel out
Laughing off the challenges and obstacles faced and continuing to move forward and succeed.

I'm with it quick I'se quick to whip that fuckin' steel out
Being skilled at using a firearm as a means of protection and retaliation.

Yeah nigga it's some new shit so better get up on it when ya see me tell a nigga how ya want it
Announcing the arrival of something new and exciting and encouraging others to be a part of it.
