You (Remix)


[Andre 3000]
I said, "what time you get off?"
She said, "when you get me off"
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
Because I swallowed down the wrong pipe
Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in Paris
I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
We in the middle of whole foods, and those fools
Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think they hated tofu the
Check-out line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing some circles like some audi
Emblem, I'm hearing them say, 'come on man
Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man'
I walked out, mmm, I got bout
Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
"3000, forgot your credit card," smart move
"By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
Well, here's my name and numb
If I ain't the one/
Lose it/
If I am/
Use it
If a man chooses/
And he can, lose it/
And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
With making mozarella - no, making worlds bettter
Cheese will come, believe me I'm, never focussed on the cash
Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass... ion

[Lloyd]
STOP, baby bring that thang back
You know where my heart at
Shorty show ya boy some love
Cause I'm about to lose it
With the way you move it
It's making me wanna get to it
Girl tell me what it do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lloyd Ft Lil Wayne's song "Want You" express the desire for someone special. The verses create a picture of a narrator who wants to leave the current environment with that person in order to express his love. The song begins with Andre 3000’s rap, where he tells his encounter with a woman at a Whole Foods market. She told him when he would get off, and he interpreted it as when he would get her off, but what followed that idea was a cough. Lloyd's verse continues with him expressing how the girl has caught his attention with the way she moves, and he expresses his desire to change the game for her. The chorus expresses the need to leave where they are and find a private space to be alone. The bridge is a repetition of the chorus with slight variations.


Nas’s verse adds to the narrative by expressing his desire to be with her and also portrays her current partner as someone who is suspicious and doubtful. He consistently mentions his readiness to take the singer's place and make her feel good, no matter the circumstances. Overall, the lyrics express a deep desire to be with that special person and the need to find a space to express love freely.
