I Want
Lloyd/Lil' Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said, "When you get me off"
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
'Cause I swallowed down the wrong pipe
Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in Paris
I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
We in the middle of whole foods, and those foods
Check-in line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing circles like some Audi
Emblem, I'm hearing them say, come on man
Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man
I walked out, hm, I got bout
Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
"Three thousand, forgot your credit card, smart move
By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
Well, here's my name and numb
If I ain't the one, lose it, if I am, use it
If a man chooses, and he can, do's it
And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
With making mozzarella, no, making worlds better
Cheese will come, believe me, I'm, never focused on the cash
Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass, ion
Stop, baby bring that thang back
You know where my heart at
Shorty, show your boy some love
'Cause I'm about to lose it
With the way you move it
It's been making me do it
Girl tell me what it do
I'll change the game for you
I'm a player, yes it's true, but
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Ooh, you just my type
Everything's so right
And I just wanna chill
So let's dip up out of here
Let's dip up out of here
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
She's fine too, but I want you
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
She's fine too, but I want you
I'll admit it, this just ain't no game
These just ain't words that I'm spittin'
If you could see the thoughts that's in my head
I'm trippin', I'm a player yea it's true
But I'll change the game for you
I wanna see what it do, ooh
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Ooh, you're just my type
Everything so right
And I just wanna chill
So let's dip up out of here
Let's dip up out of here
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
She's fine too, but I want you
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
She's fine too, but I want you
Yeah, Nas be in the crib low, strip pollin' it
Cold Guinness, bitter taste, slim waist, I'm gon' hit it
We low-key baby, like a baritone
Apple computer, e-mail me to come screw ya
Run through ya, undo ya bra, gimme medulla, uh
Ya cute as a movie star, in sin city, Hennessey, my love slave
Lovin' is pimpin', no rest have, with none of 'em
I would leave every one of em, you just say it
Just leave it the way it is, he ain't aware that sleepin' dogs lie
But keep a sharp eye on him, cause I'm the wrong guy
To wanna put this four-five on em, let's get it on, ma
You got my nose wide open
You already locked down and rot down, but so delicious
If he get suspicious, bring up his old mistress
I ain't dry-snitchin', but why should you be feelin' bad
Cause I be killin' that, huh?
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Ooh, you're just my type
Everything's so right
And I just wanna chill
So let's dip up out of here
Let's dip up out of here
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
She's fine too, but I want you
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
She's fine too, but I want you
In Lloyd and Lil Wayne's song "I Want", Lil Wayne is trying to convince a woman to leave her current partner and be with him. The lyrics start with Lil Wayne asking the woman, "What time you get off?" and her responding with, "When you get me off." Lil Wayne laughs at her response, but chokes on his drink and coughs. He then continues to try and win her over, stating that he would kiss her if they were in Paris but they are in a Whole Foods store causing him to feel embarrassed. The next verse goes on to describe Lil Wayne's vision getting cloudy, and he begins to see circles like an Audi emblem. He then hears someone tell him to "get the hell on", which prompts him to walk out. As he is walking out, the woman tells him he forgot his credit card and that her little sister loves his cartoons. He gives her his name and number, asking her to use it if she is interested.
Throughout the song, Lil Wayne expresses his desire for the woman he is pursuing. He admits that he is a player, but he is willing to change for her. He tells her to bring her "thang" back and that he wants her. The chorus repeats Lil Wayne's need for love and his desire to leave with the woman. The bridge goes on to describe Lil Wayne's attraction to the woman and how he would leave all his other partners for her. He talks about how he wants to be with her and love her. The song ends with the chorus repeating that Lil Wayne wants her, not just any fine woman.

Addressing a woman as 'Shorty,' I am asking her to show some affection towards me
'Cause I'm about to lose it
I am close to losing my patience
With the way you move it
The way she moves is causing me to become highly attracted to her

Her movements have been the primary cause of my attraction towards her
Girl tell me what it do
Please tell me if you are interested in me
I'll change the game for you
I am willing to make changes to pursue a relationship with her
I'm a player, yes it's true, but
I have a reputation for pursuing multiple women at once, but despite that, I am still interested in her
Can I be for real?
Can I be honest and open with you?
This is how I feel
I am expressing how I truly feel about her
I'm in need of love
I am seeking a relationship and emotional connection with someone
So let's dip up out of here
Let's leave this location to pursue something more intimate
Ooh, you just my type
You are exactly the type of person I am attracted to
Everything's so right
Our interactions feel perfect and natural
And I just wanna chill
I am not looking for anything too serious, just a relaxed and comfortable relationship
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Vocalizing sounds of excitement and anticipation
She's fine too, but I want you
Although there may be other attractive women, I am specifically interested in her
I'll admit it, this just ain't no game
I am acknowledging this is not a superficial pursuit or a game to me

Referencing rapper Nas, I am assuming he is at home, relaxing and enjoying the company of women
Cold Guinness, bitter taste, slim waist, I'm gon' hit it
Enjoying a beer, I am suddenly struck with attraction towards an attractive woman
We low-key baby, like a baritone

Apple computer, e-mail me to come screw ya

Ya cute as a movie star, in sin city, Hennessey, my love slave
You are as attractive as a movie star, and in a situation like Las Vegas with alcohol, I would be your love slave
Lovin' is pimpin', no rest have, with none of 'em
When it comes to love and relationships, I am all in, unlike the typical 'pimp' who has multiple women
I would leave every one of em, you just say it
If she were to tell me to leave other women and only pursue her, I would do so
Just leave it the way it is, he ain't aware that sleepin' dogs lie
She should not express her concerns about other women to me, since I may not be aware of them and it is best to leave them alone
But keep a sharp eye on him, cause I'm the wrong guy
Despite my interest in her, she should be cautious of me because I have a history of pursuing multiple women
To wanna put this four-five on em, let's get it on, ma
If someone were to try and harm her, I would be willing to use a firearm to protect her
You got my nose wide open
I am completely and utterly enamored with her
You already locked down and rot down, but so delicious
She is already in a committed relationship, but that does not change how attracted I am to her
If he get suspicious, bring up his old mistress
If her partner ever becomes suspicious of us, we can mention his previous cheating behavior to ease his concerns
I ain't dry-snitchin', but why should you be feelin' bad
I am not trying to betray her partner by sharing information, but she should not feel guilty for being interested in me
Cause I be killin' that, huh?
I am highly skilled and successful in pursuing women, which is why she should be with me instead

@PeteS_1994
People were saying the exact same thing back in 2007/8
@dobryden77
This song didn't get the coverage it deserved. I remember being amazed by it back then and it's still so catchy now. Also Lloyd's hairrrrr, ugh, I can't handle all of this sexiness. I remember the first time this came out and we had only seen him in braids. I am on a total Lloyd binge, but seriously though, he is so insanely talented and deserves more recognition!
@ActionFarter
Thats because Lil Wayne ruined the song with that wack ass homage verse to Rakims song
@TSpancer80
For sure
@LaYoutuber954
What are you talking about yes it did … it was on 106 & park everyday and the radio …..
