What You Want
The Notorious B.I.G. feat. Jay-Z Lyrics

This is a state of emergency
The situation at hand is crucial and requires immediate attention

What you want me to do? I'm sorry, I'm back
I apologize for being away and now I am ready to handle the crisis at hand, what is your request?

Lets go get 'em, Just!
Let us take action Just, now is the time to act

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, uh huh
An energetic interjection to prepare for what is about to come

Show me what you got, lil' mama
Demonstrate your skills to me, young woman

Show me what you got, pretty lady
Display your abilities, attractive lady

Show me what you got, shorty
Present your talent, petite person

Show me what you got, baby
Show me your skill, beloved person

Hands up and wave (Show 'em what you got)
Raise your hands and make a movement to showcase your talent

And wave (Show 'em what you got)
Make a motion to exhibit your skill

And wave (Show 'em what you got) And wave
Show your ability with multiple movements

Give the drummer some
Ask the drummer to display their talent

Shit, I already gave the summer some
I have already had a successful summer, it is now someone else's turn

It's the winter's turn
Now it is time for a different season to have success

Hovie Hov is the coldest
Jay-Z is the best of the best

I'm just getting better with time I'm like Opus
Like a masterpiece, I am improving as I age

One young, no two alike, like a snowflake
Each individual is unique and one of a kind, just like a snowflake

Okay, show me what you got, babe
Alright, now demonstrate your talent to me, darling

Words is slurring, engine purring
I am becoming inebriated while the car engine runs smoothly

Mami frontin', but I'm so determined
The girl is pretending, but I am very persistent

Shots of Patron, now she's in a zone
Drinking Patron shots has led to her being in a specific state of mind

I ain't talking about the 2-3
My focus is on this moment, not a specific basketball player

Mami in the zone like the homie 2-3
The girl is in a state of mind similar to basketball player 2-3 (Michael Jordan)

Jordan or James, makes no difference, boo
It doesn't matter if you prefer Michael Jordan or LeBron James, my success is the same either way

I'm ballin' the same, nigga, I am the Mike Jordan of recording
I am as great at recording music as Michael Jordan was at basketball

Nigga, you might want to fall back from recording
You should consider not trying to record music, as you're not as talented as I am

Shit that you write, it's not important
The content of your lyrics is not significant

So it forced him to go for the hype
This led him to chase after attention and popularity

For being brave, and they may applaud him
He may receive recognition for his courage, and people might cheer for him

Well, misery I will assure them
I can promise that they will experience unhappiness and discomfort

Aw, baby, just ignore them
Don't pay attention to those types of people, my dear

Truth or dare, mami, listen and learn
I have a question for you, young woman, listen closely and learn

I got a drop I just took off the top, it's your turn
I have just completed my verse, now it's your turn to take over and showcase your talent

H-O-V-A, gold bottles of that ace of spade
Jay-Z, drinking expensive champagne Ace of Spades

Why even fool with these other guys?
Why bother interacting with these lesser men?

They all stingy, all these dudes know how to say is "Gimmie"
All of these men are greedy, their only request is "Gimmie"

Gimmie some head, give me some brain
Perform oral sex on me

Give me your number, gimmie your name
Give me your contact information

But if I get one night, baby girl, I swear
If I have the opportunity for just one night with you, I promise

I'll make you tell these other dudes gimmie got you here
I will demonstrate that choosing me was the right choice

I'll take you shopping, take long trips
I will bring you on extravagant shopping excursions and long vacations

I'll take the cork off, you can take sips
I will open the bottle and pour drinks for you

I'll take you there, take my time, take your clothes off
I will bring you to a desirable location and take my time in ensuring your pleasures, remove your clothing

I'll take off mine, ma, show me what you got
I will also remove my clothing, now show me your skills

Hovi in the spot tried to told you I was hot
Jay-Z is in the spotlight and wants to remind everyone that he is talented

Tell these other dudes it's a wrap
Inform these other men that the competition is over

Get the fuck out the throne, you clone, the king's back!
Step down from the throne, you mere copy, the true king has returned

Y'all got less than two months to get y'all thing together, good luck!
You don't have much time left to prepare yourselves, best of luck

Ladies and gentlemen, the most incredible!
Introducing the most remarkable person

H-O., uh huh H-O uh huh, he's back! Uh uh
H-O-V-A is back, and ready to showcase his talent

Justin Blaze you the Blazettes
Acknowledging Justin Blaze and his backup singers as part of the performance

Rocafella Records the dynasty continues, y'all die Peace
The legacy of Rocafella Records will continue, peace to all
