[Intro]
Something that could make you do wrong
Make you do right

[Verse 1]
They been tryna tell me how I should be acting
How I should be rappin'
Getting criticized but they never do redact it
Tellin’ me I'm not myself, why I'll never be
Lead me to take cover like a canopy
Cocoon myself like a cater p
Tryna lock me in a box, like I ain’t got the key
They don't know the limit, they tryna be master P
Acting like they masters, but they don't got a degree
But ima lеave ‘em at deficit, all thеy know is Jameson
They got no identity, only maybe their ID
Serve it at the counter can I have a nagin please
Let's get an ounce of weed, blow away our issues, g
Look at that ass, hold up, I'm tryna get a piece
What you mean, whenever you say “no,” to me?
I know, I deserve it and honestly
I get what I want, when I want it, b

[Bridge]
I get what I want when I want
Thats the way it's always been
I get what I want when I want
That's how I'm gonna proceed

[Verse 2]
Just like her iPhone I’m a sucesss
Find this out, just track my progress
Thousands of plays, boy you ain’t a threat
Whenever they see my stats, they droppin impressed, uh
This like a press screening, you're seeing this early
Watch the growth close and just observe me
I’m Young Simba, my mother just birthed me
A hunnid miles and running, boy this is my journey
I'm learning, I'm earning, I'm merking
Like the car I deserve and I never be deserting, uh nah
Unless we’re talking ‘bout the final meal, but thats still uncertain, uh

[Chorus]
I get what I want when I want
Thats the way it's always been
I get what I want when I want
That's how I'm gonna proceed
I get what I want when I want
Thats the way it's always been
I get what I want when I want
That's how I'm gonna proceed
