[Andre 3000]
I said, "what time you get off?"
She said, "when you get me off"
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
Because I swallowed down the wrong pipe
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 fools
Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think they hated tofu the
Check-out line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing some 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, mmm, I got bout
Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
"3000, 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, lose it/
And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
With making mozarella - no, making worlds bettter
Cheese will come, believe me I'm, never focussed on the cash
Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass... ion
[Lloyd]
STOP, baby bring that thang back
You know where my heart at
Shorty show ya boy some love
Cause I'm about to lose it
With the way you move it

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 where it is, he ain't aware of sleeping 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

Cause I be killin that, huh?
[Chorus]
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here

Ahh, ahh, ahh-ahhh, ahhhh...

The lyrics of the song Want You by Lloyd feat. Lil Wayne are about a man who is drawn to a woman at the grocery store. Lloyd sings about his desire for the woman's love and how she moves in a way that makes him want to pursue her. He is willing to leave his player lifestyle to be with her. The lyrics reveal a sense of vulnerability and a willingness to take a chance on love, despite the potential risks involved. Lil Wayne adds a verse in which he expresses his admiration for the woman and his willingness to pursue her, even if it means going against social norms and expectations.
The lyrics of the song demonstrate a complex interplay between desire, vulnerability, and social expectations. One of the most interesting aspects of the song is the use of multiple voices, each expressing a different perspective on the same situation. Lloyd's verses focus on his own desire for the woman, while Lil Wayne's verse highlights the societal pressures and constraints that can impact romantic relationships. The use of these multiple voices creates a sense of complexity and depth that is not often found in pop music.
Another interesting aspect of the song is the use of metaphors and wordplay. For example, Lloyd sings about how the woman's movements make him want to "change the game for you", which can be interpreted both literally and figuratively. Similarly, Lil Wayne's verse is full of clever wordplay and cultural references, such as his reference to "old mistress" and his comparison of the woman to a "movie star".
Overall, the lyrics of the song Want You by Lloyd feat. Lil Wayne are a powerful and insightful exploration of desire, vulnerability, and social expectations. The use of multiple voices and metaphors creates a sense of depth and complexity that is rarely found in pop music.
