Lyrica
I know what you need, that's me
She just want your love on material things

Here we go, here we go, coming to you live in your area
My girls on a mission, you and your boys come with us
Seen you're taken, but your main girl ain't got no flavor
She gon' be hatin', when I get to playin'

You know, yeah, you might come home with a real one
Booty real you can feel on, yea-yeah

I know what you need, that's me
She just want your love on material things
You should spend some time, with me
I just want your love not material things
Woa-oh-oh, woa-oh-oh, oh-ah oh, oh-ah oh
Woa-oh-oh, woa-oh-oh
I just want your love not material things, oh

Uh, tryna break that habit, but I run right through you
Tryna take you slow, but I run right to you
Take you down and get licked, I could taste you all on my lips
Brought some dank to roll with my clique
This that bomb shit that you gon' miss
When I'm in you you keep tellin' me that it's so good
But your home girls keep tellin' you that I'm no good
Ehe-ehe-ehe-ehe

I know what you need, that's me
She just want your love on material things
You should spend some time, with me
I just want your love not material things
Woa-oh-oh, woa-oh-oh, oh-ah oh, oh-ah oh
Woa-oh-oh, woa-oh-oh
I just want your love not material things, oh
I know what you need, that's me
She just want your love on material things
You should spend some time, with me
I just want your love not material things
Woa-oh-oh, woa-oh-oh, oh-ah oh, oh-ah oh

Woa-oh-oh, woa-oh-oh
I just want your love and material things, oh

Overall Meaning

Lyrica Anderson's "Material Things" is a seductive and playful track about the tension between love and material possessions. The song opens with a confident declaration from Lyrica that she knows what the listener needs, and that it's her. She's challenging the listener to choose between her and their current partner, who she claims is only interested in material things. She promises to provide the emotional intimacy that the listener craves, without any expectation of expensive gifts or grand displays of wealth.

Throughout the song, Lyrica uses sexually charged imagery to describe her connection with the listener. She talks about tasting them on her lips and tempting them with weed. She knows that the listener's friends might warn them away from her, but she's determined to prove that her love is worth it. The chorus is repeated several times, with Lyrica emphasizing that she doesn't care about wealth or possessions, she just wants the listener's love.

Ultimately, "Material Things" is a provocative exploration of the ways that love and materialism intersect in our culture. Lyrica is presenting herself as an alternative to the superficial desires of the listener's current partner, a source of real connection and emotional fulfillment that can't be bought with money.
