What You Want
Dough-Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Old heads talking shit bring it on
What you want
Hong Kong
What you want
Taiwan
When I'm on the mic you see them sing along
I don't need your love already got mine
I don't need your love already got mine
I don't need your
I don't need your
I don't need your love already got mine
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's some pear but you call it taste so
Only one more paper
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's still main in that's you why because of the favor
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's some pear but you call it taste so
Only one more paper
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's still main in that's you why because of the favor
What you want
I ain't own you shit
我做我自己 你过你的生活
互不相欠
风格是行云流水
功夫在弹指之间
零到一百 real quick
婊子别破坏我风水
亚洲新的Bruce Lee
黄飞鸿的徒弟
张三丰打太极
让西方一败涂地
从台北到 Hong Kong
准备一起干票大的
发了衣锦还乡
My 808 go bumping
When I coming through your city
像是 young thug metro boomin'
经过震碎你家玻璃
想要怎样龙宗来
你永远也达不到我的 level
抱歉 你走开
你走开
What you want what you want
Old heads talking shit bring it on
What you want what you want
When I'm on the mic you see them sing along
What you want what you want
Old heads talking shit bring it on
What you want what you want
When I'm on the mic you see them sing along
I don't need your love already got mine
I don't need your love already got mine
I don't need your
I don't need your
I don't need your love already
Now what you want with your hand out like I owe it to ya
You wanna know how to stand out I can show it to ya
You're a loser make music don't make mula
I'm a Cut Chemist Akil like Chali2na
Now what you want I see you mad at the new era
Wearing fitted new eras but I knew better
I bet that you never fit into this generation
They see my hair and you label it appropriation
This mentality is why there ain't no progress
But what is unity without a bit of process
But now I'm so stressed looking at you old heads
Put on my gold frames give me back my focus
I'ma kill 'em all day skipping all the foreplay
Go straight to the spot give a f**k about what y'all say
Dough-boy coming straight outta Hong Kong
It's my time bitches so your heydays are long gone what you want
What you want what you want
Old heads talking shit bring it on
What you want what you want
When I'm on the mic you see them sing along
I don't need your love already got mine
I don't need your love already got mine
I don't need your
I don't need your
I don't need your love already got mine
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's some pear but you call it taste so
Only one more paper
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's still main in that's you why because of the favor
Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's some pear but you call it taste so
Only one more paper




Are we in trouble will like a spirit to this hate
That's still main in that's you why because of the favor

Overall Meaning

In Dough-Boy's song "What You Want", the rapper delivers verses in both English and Mandarin, a nod to his Chinese heritage. The song addresses the criticism he faces from older generations and their outdated views on the music industry. The chorus, "What you want, old heads talking sh*t, bring it on," shows that Dough-Boy is unafraid of these criticisms and ready to prove himself through his own unique style. He asserts that he doesn't need anyone else's approval because he already has found love and success in his music.


The lyrics also touch on the concept of cultural appropriation, where certain elements of a culture are taken and used without proper acknowledgment or respect. Dough-Boy references this issue when he says, "They see my hair and you label it appropriation." He calls for unity and progress in the industry but acknowledges that there needs to be a process for meaningful change to occur.


Throughout the song, Dough-Boy's pride in his Chinese heritage shines through with references to martial arts legends, such as Bruce Lee and Zhang Sanfeng. He also alludes to his success as an artist on his home turf, from Taiwan to Hong Kong, and his determination to make it big in the Western music scene.
