How Do You Want It
2pac feat. k-ci and jojo Lyrics

How do you want it?
Asking the person how they want the experience to be

How does it feel?
Asking how the person is experiencing the moment

Comin' up as a nigga in the cash game
Being born a black man in the life of gambling and money-making

Livin' in the fast lane, ah, for real
Living a fast-paced life with excitement and danger

Love the way you activate your hips and push your ass out
Admiration for the way the person moves their body

Got a nigga wantin' it so bad I'm 'bout to pass out
Intense desire for the person to the point of physical exhaustion

Wanna dig you and I can't even lie about it
Being honest about wanting to have sex with the person

Baby, just alleviate your clothes, time to fly up out it
Asking the person to undress and be ready to have sex

Catch you at a club, oh, shit you got me fiendin'
Feeling addicted to the person and desiring them

Body talkin' shit to me but I can't comprehend the meaning
The person's body language is confusing and hard to understand

Now if you wanna roll with me, then here's your chance
Inviting the person to join the artist

Doin' eighty on the freeway, police, catch me if you can
Driving at a high speed on the highway with the risk of getting caught by the police

Forgive me, I'm a rider, still, I'm just a simple man
Apologizing for the reckless behavior, but stating that the artist is just a simple person

All I want is money, fuck the fame, I'm a simple man
Desiring wealth over fame, and seeing oneself as a simple individual

Mr. International, player with the passport
Being well-traveled and worldly

Just like Aladdin, bitch, get you anything you ask for
Being able to provide anything the person wants

It's either him or me, champagne, Hennessy
Comparing oneself to other men, while drinking expensive alcohol

A favorite of my homies when we floss on our enemies
Proudly displaying wealth in front of rivals

Witness as we creep to a low speed, peep what a ho need
Watching as the artist and friends approach women and understand their desires

Puff some mo' weed, funk, ya don't need
Smoking marijuana to enhance the experience

Approachin' hoochies with a passion, been a long day
Approaching women with enthusiasm after a long day

Your body is bangin', baby, I love it when you flaunt it
Complimenting the person's body and enjoying when they show it off

Time to give it to daddy, nigga, now tell me how you want it
Preparing to have sex and asking how the person wants it

I'm livin' in the fast lane, ah, for real
Living a fast-paced life with excitement and danger

Tell me is it cool to fuck?
Asking if the person is ready to have sex

Did you think I come to talk? Am I a fool or what?
Appearing as someone who is not interested in talking, but rather having sex

Positions on the floor, it's like erotic
Describing sexual positions on the floor as erotic

Ironic 'cause I'm somewhat psychotic
Ironically, having a mental illness while engaging in sexual behavior

I'm hittin' switches on bitches like I been fixed with hydraulics
Comparing sexual maneuvers to car hydraulics

Up and down like a roller coaster
Describing sexual activity as a roller coaster ride

I'm up inside ya, I ain't quittin' 'til the show is over
Having sex and not stopping until it is over

'Cause I'ma rider in and out just like a robbery
Being a sexually skilled person, while also comparing it to robbery

I'll probably be a freak and let you get on top of me
Being open to trying new things, including the person being on top

Get her rockin' knees
Making the person feel intense pleasure during sex

Nights full of Alizé, a livin' legend
Drinking Alizé and being seen as a legend

You ain't heard about, these niggas play these Cali days
Being a part of underground activities in California

C. Delores Tucker, you's a motherfucker
Calling out perceived hypocrisy of civil rights activist C. Delores Tucker

Instead of tryin' to help a nigga, you destroy a brother
Accusing Tucker of not helping the black community, but rather causing harm

Worse than the others, Bill Clinton, Mr. Bob Dole
Naming politicians who are seen as detrimental to the black community

You're too old to understand the way the game's told
Believing that older politicians do not understand the current struggles of the black community

You're lame, so I gotta hit you with the hot facts
Calling out politicians for being fake and presenting the truth

Once I'm released, I'm makin' millions, niggas top that
Planning to make millions of dollars after being released from prison

They wanna censor me, they'd rather see me in a cell
Being censored and silenced in entertainment, while also being at risk of going back to prison

Livin' in hell, only a few of us'll live to tell
Referring to the dangerous lifestyle and how few people survive it

Now everybody talkin 'bout us, I could give a fuck
Not caring about what people say about the artist and their lifestyle

Like we the first ones to bomb and cuss
Being criticized for using obscene language and promoting violence, as if it has not been done before

Nigga, tell me how you want it
Asking again how the person wants the experience to be

Raised as a youth, tell the truth, I got the scoop
Growing up and knowing the ins and outs of life

On how to get a bulletproof, lickin' shots off on the roof
Learning how to protect oneself from danger and shoot from high places

Before I was a teenager, mobile phone, SkyPager
Having advanced technology at a young age

Gang rules, I'm livin' major, my adversaries
Living by gang rules and being seen as a big player, with rivals

Is lookin' worried, they paranoid of gettin' buried
Causing fear in rivals and them feeling a sense of paranoia about getting hurt

One of us gon' see the cemetery
Expecting that one will die from the gang lifestyle

My only hope is survive, if I was to stay alive
The only hope is to survive, and it's difficult to do so in this lifestyle

Gettin' high, see the demons in my eyes before I die
Using drugs to cope with the struggles of this lifestyle, and knowing that it may ultimately lead to death

I wanna live my life and ball, make a couple million
Desiring a life of success and wealth

And then I'm chillin', fade 'em all
Enjoying life and leaving behind past rivals

These taxes got me crossed up and people tryin' to sue me
Being stressed by financial obligations and legal issues

Media is in my business and they actin' like they know me (hahaha)
Feeling disrespected by the media, who do not truly know the artist

But I'ma mash out and peel out
Acting tough and leaving without fear

I'm with a clique that's quick to whip that fuckin' steel out
Being with a group that is quick to use weapons to defend themselves

Yeah, nigga it's some new shit, so better get up on it
Doing something new that rivals are not ready for

When you see me, tell a nigga how you want it
Preparing for more sexual experiences and asking for the person's preference

(How you want it?) How do you want it?
Reiterating the question of how the person wants the experience to be

Comin' up as a nigga in the cash game (yeah, my nigga, Johnny J)
Referencing a friend while discussing growing up as a black man in a world of gambling and money-making

Livin' in the fast lane, ah, for real (yeah)
Living a fast-paced life with excitement and danger

How do you feel? (girl, I-I-I-I)
Asking the person how they are feeling after the experience
