However You Want It

Find yourself in the river with the rest of them
For any thug that wanna bang and play orangutan
You could spot the traitor wit a tatto on his arm
On MTV, he painted himself as the Tin Man
Mom, she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'
However you want it, you don't want it, 'cuz when you get it, it hurts
So that's why when you ship gold, you only sold aluminum

Your body carried out the church

I heard he's lethal and I'm too rusty to battle him
Mom, she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'
Enough of this rap stuff, Sedeck take his watch
Where I found myself loadin' magazines after magazines
Like Supercat said, "Yo the ghetto's red hot"
However you want it, you don't want it, 'cuz when you get it, it hurts
Take thirty of y'all to murder one kid on the boulevard
We gon send you to a vacation for two with crabs on the seashore
Is that tears in your eyes? You cryin' for your life
However you want it, you don't want it, 'cuz when you get it, it hurts
A wannabe Rakim, but too extraterrestrial
If I wasn't rappin', I'd take that stash in your left socks
Your body carried out the church
He said, "Be easy, ain't no need to bust a shot"
Perpetratin', a fraud, oh God, you ain't hard
'Cuz "My love is your love'' will be my slugs wit blood

I say, ''No woman, no cry''
However you want it, you don't want it, 'cuz when you get it, it hurts
So, and besides when they find you you'll be bones
Writin' songs with Whitney Houston
You a thug? you ain't a murderer, just an undercover Caligula

And saw his vein burst from his neck, as I snatched his chain

Here's my advice, leave the ring with your bride
Mom, she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

And now you wanna tell everybody I messed up your record, C'mon

Kid you tellin' me what you did, you didn't wanna do

You want Wyclef Jean, bring your same thug guys
'Cuz when you saw the luger became silent like Caesar
Which one, look through the crowd, son

Ski mask on my face, gun on my waist
Don't make me raise my voice 'cuz I'm masterin' a coo
"Should I take them? Should I wait?
Fine pens shakin' in my hand as I write this next line
Watch what you say on record 'cuz it might come true
The symbol is a microphone, an intellectual
Until I got betrayed by one of my twelve disciples
Me being rusty is like biggie not being born again
Your body carried out the church
'Cuz you ain't comin' back no more
Wake up, wake up, I'm in a nightmare dream

Mom say, "Watch my peers, hangin' like chandeliers"
However you want it, you don't want it, 'cuz when you get it it hurts

Orderin' Don P, you couldn't pay for one beer
Is this a Bible I used to read the gospel
Mom, she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'
Your body carried out the church
Should I take them? Should I wait?
Mom, she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'

It never happen, watch who you call fam
You look strange, shootin' victims at close range
So I put in a call to Halis Alassi
"They shoulda took me first"
You freeze up, hold up I really thought you was psychotic
Predicted platinum, way before it happened
Your body carried out the church
But at the tribute they didn't invite me

"They shoulda took me first"
Mom, she be cryin' holdin' on to her purse sayin'
Should I take them? Should I wait?"
"They shoulda took me first"
Ai yo, what y'all thought I was too busy
Like I should own a piece of the estate
