I Want To Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(I want to) give you what you need
But I've been fucked up on percocets and weed

(I want to) tell you where to go
But I don't even know where the fuck I'm goin' so
(I wan-want to) 3-3-3 4 5
How many did I take? I just want to feel alive
(I want to) I really do
But I can't so I'm leaving for a month or two
(I want to) keep it all together
But this money is the devil, I'm spendin' it like whatever
(I want to) get my daddy that picasso
They say I'll never make it cause they think I'm such an asshole
(I want to) stop, impossible
My flow is sick and I'm a bad hospital

(I want to) take this green and turn it
Twist it, burn it. It's your turn to hit


[Hook]
I want to be someone else or I'll...
I want to be someone else or I'll...
I want to be someone else or I'll...
I want to be someone else or I'll...


[Verse 2]
I know I'm blessed in every which way
Did the rabbit go down
Vodka with some OJ
Simpsons on the TV
Roaches in the ashtray
My mother's asking why I never considered to study
I tell her I'll be big
I'm not the brightest son
But I'll be lightin up the world and remembered when I'm done
She tells me not to run from the issues in my life
So I try to take a stand and end up swallowing the knife
I said...
(I want to) tell her I just put a million in
Her bank account and she'll never have to worry again, yo
(I want to) tell my daddy that I'm fine
That I'm happy with this girl and I ain't fucked up all the time, ay yo
(I want to) change, adjust
Go to New York and blow up or bust
It's just a matter of trust
I want to be someone else or... be dust
[Hook]
I want to be someone else or I'll... (4x)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
