Wanna Be Loved Lyrics by Joey Bada$$ (feat. JID)
Just to sniff them roses, you might miss the violets
Overlook 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 (Hide it)
Vulnerability, peace and tranquility
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 n***** 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 everyday though (Yeah)
Bitch, I’m finna die ’bout it, where the fuck my halo? (N****)
Surrounded by my angels, 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 the, fuck it
Long as the wheels keep turnin’ and the fire keep burnin’
Then you know us real n***** 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 (Look, uh)
My n**** just left the pen and he been tryna get back on his feet
His father died while he was inside, said the cancer beat him
Baby mama playin’ hide and seek with his lil’ legacy
Allegedly she fuck with some lil’ n**** 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, n****?
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 Makeni
Giant world, n***** mind too mini
Ain’t too many minorities seen the possibilities
Dodge your enemies, mind jittery, lookin’ to find an identity
N***** be flodgin’, n***** be finicky, I hope you try to forgive me
If you gon’ ride with me, then ride with me
Gotta Glock 9 and god with me
Gotta watch mine, keep eyes with me at the stop sign
Long as the wheels keep turnin’ and the fire keep burnin’
Then you know us real n***** 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
Blessings come like one of one, baby (One of one, baby)
But you crossed my mind (You crossed my mind)
We won’t press for time (Won’t press for time)
I think now’s the time (Now’s the time)
Why you act so hard to find, baby? (So hard to find, baby)
It blows my mind (It blows my mind)
This might define crazy (Might define crazy)
Me losin’ my mind, baby
