What You Want
Ty featuring featuring Jason Yarde Joy Jones & Taylor McFerrin Lyrics

Walking this tight rope of street cultures
Navigating through the various cultures and subcultures of the streets carefully and cautiously, like walking on a tight rope.

Diving off cliffs and tend to eat vultures
Taking risks and living dangerously, even if it means resorting to unsavory measures to survive.

Always like to whisper round the street enough
Preferring to keep a low profile and speak softly when around others on the street.

But don't posses the stamina to keep it rough
Lacks the endurance to constantly live a rough and challenging lifestyle.

I relate to the ice on wrist go
Identifying with the luxurious lifestyle of wearing expensive jewelry like a watch.

Roll up on my life in my siso
Embracing his life and enjoying the ride.

So this guy goes papa when the sky goes black
Acting tough or macho in difficult situations, especially when it's dark outside or things get dangerous.

I'll be slippin' customs like a diplomat
Able to avoid scrutiny and bypass obstacles like a diplomat.

Sometimes I have to cry like an aristocrat
Expressing emotions in a dignified and refined way, even if it might seem out of character.

Stop trying to compare me to this other chap
Asking others to stop comparing him to someone else.

Flat, broke but benevolent

Walking with some very big elephants
Operating in the midst of powerful and influential individuals.

Some peopla gettin' cursy while I'm blueprintin'

We rock mics and hot spice, we hop out
Boasting about their skills in music and performance, and being confident in their ability to exit situations easily.

Your ha ha got knocked out!
Mockingly teasing someone for being knocked out or defeated in some way.

Hot skip utraternity, hot skip formality
Skipping unnecessary or traditional formalities and customs.

Run up with some origin reality
Bringing some authenticity and originality to the table.

You used to snigger now you're feeling the burnin'
Referring to someone who used to laugh or make fun of them, but now they're feeling the heat and pressure of the situation.

Signing stiff like your first name was hermin'
Being rigid and formal with a signature, almost like it's a legal document.

Ty already seepin' on rummin'
Already enjoying the party and having a good time.

Your not swingin' your hips now
Noticing that someone isn't dancing or moving in a way that's expected in the party or club setting.

Come girl just give me a kiss now
