I Do Want You
Soul's Journey: Struggles, Redemption, and the Code of the Streets
Lyrics
Maybe I'm greater than who I thought I was
Reflecting on personal growth, considering oneself greater than previously believed.
I look in the mirror and see a sinner though
Perception of oneself as a sinner when looking in the mirror.
The losses I took made me a winner though
Turning past losses into victories, gaining strength from challenges faced.
You got what you want so what you in it for
Questioning motives, asking why one continues a particular pursuit after achieving goals.
Is it the money
Exploring if the motivation is driven by monetary gain.
Is it the women
Examining if the motivation involves relationships with women.
Is it for thanks
Considering if the pursuit is for gratitude or acknowledgment.
Is it forgiveness
Questioning if the motivation includes seeking forgiveness.
Feels like my wings have been diminished
Feeling a loss of personal strength or freedom.
I ain't talk to my Lord in awhile its been a minute
Expressing a lapse in communication or connection with spiritual beliefs.
Am I the product or the product I cook for the streets
Reflecting on whether one is a commodity shaped by external forces or influences.
Cause what I'm servin in a bag only good for the weak
Describing the product served as only beneficial for the weak.
To say I do this for the fam so my people could eat
Stating a purpose for family, wanting to provide for their well-being.
Is this a means to an end what's the meaning for me
Questioning the overall meaning and purpose of the pursued path.
Cause every day I see myself put my life on the line
Acknowledging the daily risks taken, putting life on the line.
These jealous Niggas want to kill me for what I desire
Facing potential threats from envious individuals due to personal desires.
Told em they can have the money just save me the time
Offering to sacrifice material wealth for the preservation of time.
Cause everything I got is borrowed ain't none of it mine
Recognizing that possessions are borrowed and not truly owned.
Listen, no regrets for my decisions
Expressing contentment with past decisions, embracing faith as a guiding principle.
Faith was my religion
Affirming faith as a central aspect of personal belief.
Thankful I'm still living
Expressing gratitude for continued existence.
Never was I a killer but pushin me is the limit
Rejecting violence but acknowledging personal limits when provoked.
You tried to start it I finish
Asserting readiness to finish conflicts initiated by others.
See God forgives but I don't
Distinguishing between divine forgiveness and personal reluctance to forgive.
Murder was what she wrote
Reflecting on the consequences of violent actions.
See the sound of a gun had showed me life's a bitch
Realizing the harsh reality through the sound of a gun, emphasizing life's challenges.
And this is more than a quote
Stating that the message goes beyond a mere quote.
Married to my beliefs proposed and then eloped
Committing to personal beliefs through marriage, a metaphor for dedication.
Baptizing a brick I swam and then we float
Symbolizing a transformative experience, comparing it to a baptism.
Am I the product or the product I cook for the streets
Repeating the question of whether one is a product of external influences.
Cause what I'm serving in a bag only good for the weak
Reiterating that the served product is only beneficial for the weak.
Every day be feeling different the money unique
Highlighting the uniqueness of money but questioning its value.
But is it worth it as you tossing and you turn in your sleep
Contemplating the worth of pursuits while facing inner turmoil during sleep.
Maybe I'm greater than who I thought I was
Revisiting the theme of personal growth, possibly suggesting ongoing self-discovery.
Or maybe I'm blessed that I've become a man
Considering blessings and the transition into manhood.
I dance on a brick and do the running man
Describing a carefree and confident attitude, incorporating dance metaphors.
The code of the streets you wouldn't understand
Referencing an understanding of unwritten rules or moral code in the streets.
