(Cuss i need to go shopping)
Aight i'm gonna come home right now a'ight
(Naw Naw forget it just stay where you at and when
you do decide 2 come home bring me a ring or something )
I might change this bullshit man bye man
[O'Dell]
Chorus
Girl I think i want to be with you
But it's something that I just can't do
I want to be faithful
See that's just me what i'm going through
I know i ought to be with you
know i need you but i can't keep you
I got to maintain my cool
Maybe i'm a fool
Can't keep you
[Silkk The Shocker]
Yo Yo Yo I never was the type to stress
Get It off my chest
y'all can deal
if y'all was real
y'all can fill in the rest
we both say yes
guess we were both like phony
jumped in too quick
ideally cus we both was lonely
we go 2 stores and you never peek at the price
Treat you right had a bad day i just greet you with ice
you know Silkk The Shocker hang with the thugs and the dealers
wasn't the realest Never the type to get in to expressing my feelings
I ain't gon lie It wasn't all bad
Some was good
matter fact it was all that'
Sometimes i feel like we just didn't match
Found a friend
But only friend till then you alwayz came first
Never type to creep Alwayz tried to make things work
What What
Chorus
[Silkk The Shocker]
I want to be with you but i can't hope you understand and all
Tried to make this thang work
Got knocked you'll be the first person i call
Now with you can be myself
with her it's like i'm living a lie
I do everything for her it seems like she never satisfied
If i give her 3 karats then she probably want four
If I want to go places then she probably just don't want to go
Now sometimes I feel like we settled
in the back of our minds
we all feel like we can find something better
Now with you it' like you know me
Like her she really don't understand me
I know I live the way I live
But she's all for changing me
I don't care for girl with no money
When I come home I ain't tryin to cuss
Am I asking for much?
But I can't sit here and pretend
I don't care
To have both y'all along
That wouldn't be fair
So if it's a puzzle
I think I maybe just missing a clue
Leave or Stay?
God tell me what's a nigga to do
What What What
Chorus till fade
The Shockers' song "All I Want" features two phone conversations and verses depicting a complicated love triangle. Silkk is torn between two women, each with whom he has different kinds of connections. In the first conversation, a female friend offers to take Silkk to the game, but he declines the offer as he is busy working on music in the studio. The second conversation, with a different female, is more dramatic, as she tries to get Silkk to come home from the studio to go shopping, but he refuses, leading to an argument. The chorus features O'Dell's perspective, where he wrestles with his commitment issues and the desire to be with the women in his life, but he can't stay faithful, so he can't keep them.
Silkk's verses indicate how he feels while navigating the two relationships. He tries to excuse his actions by saying they both said yes and jumped in too soon because they were both lonely. Furthermore, he mentions that he treats his partner well and prioritizes her even when he's had a bad day, but he realizes that they are not a good match, and even though they are friends, she herself comes first. With the other woman, he feels more comfortable being himself, but she is not satisfied, and he feels like he cannot change for her because it would mean he isn't true to himself. Silkk ends the song by questioning if he should leave or stay.
Overall, the song delves deep into the complexities of relationships and how they are not always black and white. It highlights the challenges of being torn between two lovers and how difficult it can be to remain faithful, and it showcases the internal struggle that can arise when one tries to balance two connections.
