Desire

[Intro: M.O.P. sample]

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!)

Oh! (Oh!) Oh!

[Chorus: Showtyme]

Said, it's my desire, yes, it is, yeah

Yes, it is, yes, it is, oh, yes, it is, ugh

[Verse 1: Pharaohe Monch]

Comprehend the guidelines

My chest out, chinchilla, all relaxed on the sidelines

I'm so famous, understand

New York City respect my game like Joe Namath

And I protect my name like your anus

In prison, y'all don't hear me, y'all don't listen

Y'all just wanna shine, y'all just wanna glisten

Floss, knowing that the soul is still missing

(Who am I?) I'm the poetical pastor

Slave to a label, but I own my masters

Still get it poppin' without artists and repertoire

'Cause Monch is a monarch, only minus the A&R

When my brain excels, your train derails

Pop shit, make you feel The Clipse like Pharrell (Woo!)

You will feel me, you will admire

(My) Struggle, (My) hustle, (My) sole desire

[Chorus: Showtyme, M.O.P. sample]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ah

Said, it's my desire

Yes it is, yeah, yeah

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!)

Oh! (Oh!) Oh!

Said, it's my desire (Hey, hey-yeah, yeah-yeah)

[Verse 2: Pharaohe Monch]

My book is a ovary, the pages I lust to turn

My pen is the penis, when I write, the ink is the sperm

Desire, the fire that ignites the torch to burn

(This is not rocket science) This is easy to learn

My mic's the gavel; when I talk, court's adjourned

Respect, even if you was ashes, you couldn't earn

I embody antibiotics, you are infected with germs

Rap's fatally ill, please, get concerned

Players pick turns to play, get burned

I color commentate the game like Chick Hearns

This is the moment of truth for my opponents and liars

Vocals alone invoke the emotion of Black choirs

Fire, you don't wanna get burned like Rich Pryor

Move back, who's that there? The live-wire

You will feel me, you will admire

(My) Struggle, (My) hustle, (My) sole desire

[Chorus: Showtyme]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah

Said, it's my desire

Yes, it is, yeah-ah-ah-ah

[Outro: Showtyme & MeLa Machinko, M.O.P. sample]

It's my desire

Keep pushin', keep strivin' (My-y, y-y-y, oh-oh)

My passion, my fire

That's my desire

I keep pushin', I keep strivin'

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!)

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!)

That's my desire

Keep pushin', keep strivin'

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!)

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!) Oh!

That's my desire

Keep pushin', I keep strivin'

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!)

Oh! (Oh!) Oh! (Oh!) Oh!
