They Want
Hodgy Lyrics

They want you to fail, they want you to hate yourself
There are people who desire for you to be unsuccessful and to harbor self-hatred

They want you to
These individuals have a desire for your compliance

They want you
Their wishes regarding your actions and emotions are clear

(Why do they want me to hate myself?)
You question the motives behind their desire for you to despise yourself

I don't question intuity, neither my actions
I have confidence in my intuition and the decisions I make

I know myself thoroughly, lead to attraction
I possess a deep understanding of myself, which draws others towards me

When you're talking to me, look at me don't be distracted
I expect your complete attention when engaged in conversation with me

I feel we're retracting, moving backwards
It seems as though we are regressing, going in the opposite direction

Kinda like allegations and legal actions
Similar to accusations and legal proceedings

Spent so much time on negatives pleading for reactions
Invested a significant amount of time focusing on negative situations, seeking responses

Cops and them robbers basking in blood
Law enforcement and criminals reveling in violence and chaos

He's the blackest, he's a thug, first we kill him then shoot the mug
They identify him as the most inferior and criminal-like, deciding to murder him and then destroy his reputation

No weapon on him, no drugs
He does not possess any weapons or illicit substances

No priors or warrants either
He has no prior criminal records or outstanding arrest warrants

Got a kid and wife at home, it's fucked up he won't see them tonight
He has a child and a wife waiting for him, but unfortunately, he will not be able to be with them tonight

Or tomorrow, or the day after
Nor will he be able to see them in the coming days

When feds parade after, high fives and gay laughter
Once the federal authorities celebrate and mock his misfortune

Pat yourself on the back nigga
Congratulate yourself, my friend

You done did something good for the civilians in this world
You have accomplished something beneficial for the ordinary people of this world

She got feelings, she's a little girl
She has emotions, as she is just a young girl

That was her father, her fucking role model
The man who was killed was her beloved father and the person she looked up to

They hit him with some shells, that tostada but they forgot the horchata
He was shot with bullets, suffering immense pain, similar to a tostada without the accompanying horchata drink

My nigga, you got a set of, without a job
My friend, you have a group of people you associate with, yet you do not have employment

You just hit the gym, like you doing something
You only go to the gym, pretending like you are being productive

Calling all your friends, seeing what they up to
You continuously contact your friends, inquiring about their activities

Why you clocking in?
Why are you monitoring their actions so closely?

You a grown ass man, and they grown ass men
You are a mature adult, and so are the individuals you are concerned about

You like 30 years, outta town slanging
You are around 30 years old, engaging in illicit activities in a different location

You're cutting niggas short, without a place of your own
You are limiting the opportunities and connections of others while not having a stable living situation yourself

You don't inspire me, you're not welcome inside my home, no
You do not motivate or influence me positively, therefore, I do not want you in my residence

You think you a king? You sleeping inside your car nigga
Do you believe you are a powerful figure? Yet, you are residing in your vehicle

Take a look in the mirror and peep who you are nigga
Examine yourself honestly by looking in the mirror and truly understand who you are

I see light from a vantage point, from afar nigga
I observe a glimmer of hope and potential, but only from a distance

And when I'm up close, you can see the scars nigga
But when I am in close proximity, you can see my own emotional wounds

Drinking hard liquor, fuck the malt liquor
I am consuming strong alcoholic beverages, disregarding the lesser-quality malt liquor

I'm a real one oh yep, I'm a boss nigga
I am an authentic individual, indeed, I am a dominant figure

Cut your circulation off nigga
Isolate yourself from my presence, my friend

Deal with your issues that you gotta resolve, I ain't involved witchya
Handle the problems that you need to resolve, as I am not involved with you anymore

I used to look up to you, and now I don't fuck with you
I used to admire and respect you, but now I do not associate with you

Don't really know what's up with you, what's going on in your brain
I am uncertain about your current state of being and what is happening in your mind

I'm drinking sparkling wine, listening to Coltrane
I am consuming effervescent wine while enjoying the music of Coltrane

About to pop this in my brain like I'm Cobain
I am on the verge of taking drugs into my system, akin to how Cobain ended his life

You running to my mom talking shit about me
You are rushing to my mother to speak negatively about me

My momma love me, she can't live without me
My mother loves me deeply, she cannot imagine her life without me

She know where my mind at
She understands my thoughts and emotions

I talk to her everyday, she know I'm fighting them demons like I'm a fucking heavyweight
I communicate with her daily, and she is aware that I am battling inner struggles, similar to how a heavyweight boxer fights in the ring

I learned that timing is timeless, so I let them wait
I have come to understand that the concept of timing transcends the boundaries of time, therefore, I am comfortable making others wait

But if you got beef, you should set a date, you can see me today, if you need to
However, if you have an issue with me, you should schedule a specific time to address it, and if necessary, we can meet today
