Tell me what you want (repeat 5x)
Chorus
Tell me what you want from me
Take a look at what you see
Let me know if it's right here
Something you can have for years
Tell me what you want from me
Take a look at what you see
Let me know if it's right here
Something you can have for years

[Mase]
Now Mase be the man want to see you doing good
I don't want to get rich, leave you in the hood
Girl in my eyes you the baddest
The reason why I love you, you don't like me cause my status
I don't want to see you with a carriage, living average
I want to do my thing so we be established
And I don't want you rocking those pharrohs
Girl, I will give you karats till you feel you a rabbit
Anything in your path, you want you can have
Walk through the mall, if you like it you can grab
Total it all up and put it on my tab
Then tell all your friends all the fun you had

Chorus
[Mase]
Hey Mama, won't you come here to Papa?
You don't like the way your tata's lookin at Shada?
In a 600 ain't no smokin cigada
Come over here I think I see your baby faddah
Here ya go the number to my casa
If you in a rush you call me manyana
Whatever you need girlfriend I got the whole enchilada
Just the way you like it Mase gonna do you propa
Girl I can tell you was meant for me
I can tell by the way you was sent for me
While I'm on tour trying to make them centuries
And they ask who your man you better mention me
If you don't, you know you got a problem
If you want no beef girlfriend don't start none
And it just so happens that I'm seeing cash
Cause you messed up a lot just trying to be fast
And I ain't gonna ask who smashed the E-Class
Pull up to the rear with the whole front crashed
Now you want to laugh, good thing that's the past
If you ever lie again girl that will be your last

Chorus
[Mase]
Now the more you treat me royal I adore you
That's why I don't mind doing these things for you
You did things for me I wouldn't believe you did
That's why I always want to keep you here
In a year or two girl, I could see you with my kids
Girl, you make a thug want to get a legal gig
It's only right we spend our lonely nights
Gettin crazy biz till we awake the kids
Don't get too loud got respect for you honey
To keep it all real, you come second to my money
Can you be my ghetto love prophecy?
Everybody love you girl, not just me
And I know you really care a lot for me




I want to see you happy even if it's not with me
Repeat chorus til fade
