[Verse 1] She hooked on ice ..... up for five days, n six nights. I used to wanna fuck this chic, now I’m cool, can’t take dem risk. She used to be fly, nice tits n real thick. Now she just wanna turn tricks on the corner. all skinny n shit. Every time I see this bitch, askin the same ol shit, so a playa had to tell her [Chorus] you caint always get what you want (yeah) you caint always get what you want (uh) you caint always get what you want (say what) but you might get what you need [Verse 2] I just got got for all I had, friend or foe, hard to know the diff. Hard to even show I’m sad, stone-face on, gotta keep it stiff. Diamond hard when I walk outside, steel in my stare, gotta mask my fear, I’m still a kid, where my pops at? Screamin’ in my head, cause he aint here. We all strapped. temper tapped,.won’t check a clown who crossed the line, bitin’ my tongue, tryna stay calm, feel that rage run down my spine. Sometimes I dream I could lay back, kick my feet up, breathe and sleep, but they see you soft for a second, and the next day you buried deep. [Chorus] you caint always get what you want (yeah) you caint always get what you want (uh) you caint always get what you want (say what) but you might get what you need (funky) [Verse 3] I had plans to go to college, run the court, quit da game, learn somethin’ new, but my girlfriend claiming she pregnant. whole life pivot, dont know what to do! College lookin’ like a maybe, every bill feel like a war, clock in under them fry lights or push packs by the corner store. Never thought I’d serve crack, but pampers ain’t cheap and time move fast, choices thin. like this block air, need a future that ain’t my past. [Chorus] you caint always get what you want (yeah) you caint always get what you want (uh) you caint always get what you want (say what) but you might get what you need
