How Do You Want It
2pac ft. k-ci & jojo Lyrics

How do you want it?
Asking the partner their preferred sexual position or style.

How does it feel?
Asking the partner how they experience the sexual encounter.

Comin' up as a nigga in the cash game
Growing up as a black man in the world of money and materialism.

Livin' in the fast lane, ah, for real
Living a life full of excitement, luxury, and risk-taking.

Love the way you activate your hips and push your ass out
Appreciating the partner's sexual moves and arousing body parts.

Got a nigga wantin' it so bad I'm 'bout to pass out
Feeling overwhelmed by sexual desire and attraction.

Wanna dig you and I can't even lie about it
Being honest about wanting the partner sexually.

Baby, just alleviate your clothes, time to fly up out it
Encouraging the partner to undress and have fun.

Catch you at a club, oh, shit you got me fiendin'
Feeling uncontrollable and intense sexual desire upon seeing the partner in a club setting.

Body talkin' shit to me but I can't comprehend the meaning
Being unable to interpret the partner's body language in a way that makes sense.

Now if you wanna roll with me, then here's your chance
Offering the partner an opportunity to be with the singer.

Doin' eighty on the freeway, police, catch me if you can
Driving recklessly fast, living the life dangerously.

Forgive me, I'm a rider, still, I'm just a simple man
Apologizing for being impulsive and risky, despite being a straightforward person.

All I want is money, fuck the fame, I'm a simple man
Prioritizing financial gain over fame and celebrity status.

Mr. International, player with the passport
Being a well-traveled and well-connected man.

Just like Aladdin, bitch, get you anything you ask for
Comparing himself to Aladdin, a movie character that possesses a genie that caters to his every wish and desire.

It's either him or me, champagne, Hennessy
Choosing between the artist and another person; celebrating with expensive alcoholic drinks.

A favorite of my homies when we floss on our enemies
Having loyal friends who support and celebrate with the singer when overcoming foes.

Witness as we creep to a low speed, peep what a ho need
Watching as the singer and his friends slowly approach a prostitute to fulfill her sexual needs.

Puff some mo' weed, funk, ya don't need
Smoking more marijuana and enjoying the vibe of the moment.

Approachin' hoochies with a passion, been a long day
Approaching prostitutes with enthusiasm after a tiring day.

But I've been driven by attraction in a strong way
Feeling very drawn to the prostitute sexually and emotionally.

Your body is bangin', baby, I love it when you flaunt it
Admiring the prostitute's attractive and sexy body and enjoying when she shows it off provocatively.

Time to give it to daddy, nigga, now tell me how you want it
Being dominant in sexual situations, asking the partner what they desire or prefer.

I'm livin' in the fast lane, ah, for real
Continuing to live life in the fast manner.

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

Did you think I come to talk? Am I a fool or what?
Clarifying the intention of the encounter as sexual, rejecting the notion of just talking.

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

Ironic 'cause I'm somewhat psychotic
Recognizing the irony of being a little bit crazy when engaging in intense, passionate sex.

I'm hittin' switches on bitches like I been fixed with hydraulics
Being skilled at varying sexual positions and movements like a car with hydraulic switches.

Up and down like a roller coaster
Using the metaphor of a roller coaster to describe the ups and downs of sexual pleasure.

I'm up inside ya, I ain't quittin' 'til the show is over
Being deeply involved in the sexual activity and committing to not stopping until they both reach climax or finish.

'Cause I'ma rider in and out just like a robbery
Being a person who engages in sexual intercourse in a bold, adventurous way.

I'll probably be a freak and let you get on top of me
Being open to trying various sexual positions to achieve maximum pleasure for both parties.

Get her rockin' knees
Making the partner feel intense, uncontrollable pleasure in a way that makes them shake and tremble.

Nights full of Alizé, a livin' legend
Drinking a popular fruit-flavored alcoholic drink called Alizé and being highly regarded and admired for sexual prowess and abilities.

You ain't heard about, these niggas play these Cali days
Emphasizing that people are unaware of the sexual encounters he and his friends engage in during their time in California.

C. Delores Tucker, you's a motherfucker
Directing profanity-laden anger towards American politician and activist C. Delores Tucker for criticizing the negative impact of hip-hop music on society.

Instead of tryin' to help a nigga, you destroy a brother
Accusing Tucker of working against black men and their interests instead of supporting them.

Worse than the others, Bill Clinton, Mr. Bob Dole
Associating Tucker's negative actions to the contemporary political figures of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole.

You're too old to understand the way the game's told
Suggesting that Tucker is too old or out-of-touch to comprehend the way things work in the modern world of hip-hop and sex.

You're lame, so I gotta hit you with the hot facts
Insulting Tucker for being uncool and outdated and feeling the need to provide her with accurate information.

Once I'm released, I'm makin' millions, niggas top that
Vowing to become even more successful and wealthy upon release from prison.

They wanna censor me, they'd rather see me in a cell
Expressing the belief that people want to censor and suppress his voice and success instead of letting him flourish and thrive.

Livin' in hell, only a few of us'll live to tell
Describing the negative consequences and environment associated with a life in gangs and violence, predicting that few survive to tell the tale.

Now everybody talkin 'bout us, I could give a fuck
Not caring or being affected by the attention and criticism that comes with fame and success.

Like we the first ones to bomb and cuss
Sarcastically acknowledging the hypocrisy of people complaining about profanity and violence in hip-hop music.

Raised as a youth, tell the truth, I got the scoop
Revealing that he was brought up with knowledge of gang rules and how to lead a life of crime.

On how to get a bulletproof, lickin' shots off on the roof
Being taught how to survive in gang life, including using a bulletproof vest and shooting from high ground.

Before I was a teenager, mobile phone, SkyPager
Growing up in an environment where communication lines were crucial for survival and safety.

Is lookin' worried, they paranoid of gettin' buried
Being aware of the fear and apprehension of the singer's enemies, who are fearful of retaliation.

One of us gon' see the cemetery
Acknowledging that in the dangerous gang life, death is an inevitability and one of the artist's group will likely die.

My only hope is survive, if I was to stay alive
Desiring nothing but survival and attempting to stay alive as long as possible.

Gettin' high, see the demons in my eyes before I die
Acknowledging that the gang life takes a toll on mental health and that he might see unpleasant images before dying.

I wanna live my life and ball, make a couple million
Having the desire to live a comfortable life after retiring from gang life and raking in millions of dollars.

And then I'm chillin', fade 'em all
Retiring completely from gang life and enjoying the fruits of his labor.

These taxes got me crossed up and people tryin' to sue me
Feeling burdened by taxes and personal lawsuits that are not related to his criminal activities.

Media is in my business and they actin' like they know me (hahaha)
Feeling annoyed and disrespected by the way media portrays him and the lack of respect for his privacy.

But I'ma mash out and peel out
Attempting to ignore the negative media attention and focus on his own path.

I'm with a clique that's quick to whip that fuckin' steel out
Having a group of friends or associates who are quick to use weapons when necessary to defend themselves.

Yeah, nigga it's some new shit, so better get up on it
Asserting that the singer has a new focus in life and aims to achieve big things, urging others to follow suit and catch up.

When you see me, tell a nigga how you want it
Urging people to express what they want or desire from the singer when they meet him.

(How you want it?) How do you want it?
Repeating the opening line, which serves as a reminder to focus on sexual desires and preferences.

Comin' up as a nigga in the cash game (yeah, my nigga, Johnny J)
Reflecting on coming up as a black man striving for financial success, while acknowledging Johnny J's contribution to the artist's success.

Livin' in the fast lane, ah, for real (yeah)
Emphasizing that the artist is living a fast, exciting life that is dangerous and adventurous.

How do you feel? (girl, I-I-I-I)
Getting the partner's perspective on how they feel about the sexual encounter or situation.
