Wanna Be Loved

[Intro: Joey Bada$$]

Yeah

Haha, yeah, niggas got jokes

Ten years, man, you and I gon' have matching Benzes (All the times)

Ten years? Nigga more like ten days (Always on my mind, yeah)

Ten days (Yeah, look, uh-uh)

[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]

Just to sniff them roses, you might miss the violets

Overly contentment just for somethin' more excitin'

Just to never find it (Yeah) like fuck it, never mind it (Nah)

I wear my heart out on my sleeve, I just refuse to hide it

Vulnerability, peace and the tranquility (Uh-huh)

I give it all I got and to the best of my ability, yeah

I take it day by day with grace and that humility

'Cause I done lived in way too much hostility

Fuck if niggas feelin' me or not, these just-just my shoes

Thirty thousand feet above the block, this just-just my view

Bitch, I ain't got shit to lose, please don't make me lose my cool

I ain't got shit to prove to you, 'cause this ain't nothin' new

What more do they want from me? (What?) Demons, they been hauntin' me (Yeah)

Satan tryna offer me a deal that's gon' be hard for me to say no (Fuck)

Battlin' these evils, it's a struggle every day though

Bitch, I'm finna die about it, where the fuck my halo? (Bitch)

Surrounded by my angels (Right), they cover every angle (Facts)

Back up on my feet and now the Devil tryna tango (Yeah)

Sometimes the pot of gold is the rainbow (Sometimes it is)

I said, "Sometimes, the pot of gold is," fuck it

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]

Long as the wheels keep turnin' and fire keep burnin'

Then you know us real niggas don't stop

Long as the world keep spinnin' and my girl keep grinnin'

Then you know we gon' make it to the top

We just wanna be loved, oh

We don't wanna be judged

We wanna be accepted

Never wanna be neglected

We just wanna be loved

[Verse 2: JID]

Look, uh

My nigga just left the pen' and he been tryna get back on his feet

His father died, he was inside, said the cancer beat 'em

Baby momma playin' hide and seek with his lil' legacy

Allegedly she fuck with some lil' nigga that's 'bout to wedding ring her

PO on his ass, he can't have so much as a misdemeanor

Or he goin' back, he doin' bad so he been heavy drinkin'

Show him love for Heaven's sake but I don't know what the hell he thinkin'

A cycle that we gotta break or we just run in place

One hand could wash the other, both hands could wash the face

I'ma stand beside my brother, take the stand and fabricate

Make sure that you good, you need a hug, you need a handshake

Nigga back in the hood, he need some money so he antsy

And he buggin' and thuggin', name buzzin' in the city

With the safety on the semi like Xavier McKinney

Giant world, niggas' mind too mini

Ain't too many minorities seen the possibilities

Dodgin' enemies, mind jittery, lookin' to find an identity

Niggas be flodgin', niggas be finicky, I hope you try to forgive me

If you gon' ride with me then ride with me, got a Glock-9 and God with me

Gotta watch mine, keep eyes with me at the stop sign

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]

Long as the wheels keep turnin' and fire keep burnin'

Then you know us real niggas don't stop

Long as the world keep spinnin' and my girl keep grinnin'

Then you know we gon' make it to the top

We just wanna be loved

We don't wanna be judged

We wanna be accepted

Never wanna be neglected

We just wanna be loved

[Outro: Noleac Yahsin]

Blessings come like one-and-one, baby

But you crossed my mind

We all pressed for time

I think now's the time

Why you act so hard to find, baby?

It blows my mind

This might define crazy

I be losin' my mind, baby
