Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you been needing somebody
Mustard on the beat

Look, I know you been needing somebody
Nobody really got me like I got me
Just tell me what you really want from me
It's no problem, I'ma go see if I got it
Just tell me what you really want from me
What you really want?
I know you been needing somebody
Nobody really got me like I got me
Just tell me what you really want from me
It's no problem, I'ma go see if I got it
If I got it, then you got it it's no problem
Hoes plotting, thinking that we don't know 'bout 'em
I wonder what the fuck they want from me
I know that you been needing somebody

I know your head sloppy
You really do it like you care about me
Avianne got me feeling like I'm playing hockey
Rap money got me pulling up in big bodies
Big bodies little niggas don't know shit 'bout me
Call me Artie I love to party, shooters beside me
Left the 'Rari inside the parking lot oh I'm sorry
Ended up with a Spanish mami calling me papi
Acting cocky when she really don't know shit 'bout me
Know they always wonder why I got my clique by me
Don't touch me, you'll be lucky if you sit by me
They'll get it 'til they really see their bitch by me
Got a trophy on my arm I keep my wrist icy
If you want it nigga then you gotta get by me
Always wanted a Patek now I can get like three
If you think it's too late, then it just might be

Look, I know you been needing somebody
Nobody really got me like I got me
Just tell me what you really want from me
It's no problem, I'ma go see if I got it
If I got it, then you got it it's no problem
Hoes plotting, thinking that we don't know 'bout 'em
I wonder what the fuck they want from me
I know that you been needing somebody

We can get it popping for the night though
You know my style, red bottoms, only the spikes though
Yeah, it's always a light show whenever the ice glow
Couple more shots ain't no tellin' where we might go
To the Marriott or we could take it to the trap
Spittin' on my mic, should have put her on a track
Fuck around and have you butt naked on my Snap
Wit your legs in the air got you shakin' on your back like
Wait, I think she catchin' a seizure
All my old hoes tell me I'm catchin' amnesia
A different kind of beast I'm not a regular creature
Drop two seater Beemer, cranberry its features, Don

What they really want from the nigga?
What you really want?
What the fuck they really want from the nigga?

I know you been needing somebody
Nobody really got me like I got me
Just tell me what you really want from me
It's no problem, I'ma go see if I got it
If I got it, then you got it it's no problem
Hoes plotting, thinking that we don't know 'bout 'em




I wonder what the fuck they want from me
I know that you been needing somebody
