Desire Lyrics

[00:05.96] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[00:10.75] Said, it's my desire, yes it is, yeah
[00:17.19] Yes it is, yes it is, oh yeah, yeah, uh
[00:22.23] Comprehend the guidelines
[00:24.83] My chest out, chinchilla, all relaxed on the sidelines
[00:28.55] I'm so famous, understand
[00:30.90] New York City respects my game like Joe Namath
[00:34.08] And I protect my name like your anus
[00:36.67] In prison, y'all don't hear me, y'all don't listen
[00:39.52] Y'all just wanna shine, y'all just wanna glisten
[00:42.63] Floss, knowing that the soul is still missing
[00:44.93] (Who am I?) I'm the poetical pastor
[00:47.82] Slave to a label, but I own my masters
[00:50.80] Still get it poppin' without artist and repertoire
[00:53.32] 'Cause Monch is a monarch, only minus the A&R
[00:56.03] When my brain excels, your train derails
[00:58.87] Pop shit, make you feel the Clipse like Pharrell
[01:01.76] You will feel me, you will admire
[01:04.23] My struggle, my hustle, my soul, desire
[01:07.53] Ooh, oh, yeah
[01:11.39] Said, it's my desire, yes it is, yeah
[01:17.10] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[01:22.61] Said, it's my desire
[01:28.44] My book is a ovary, the pages I lust to turn
[01:31.16] My pen's the penis, when I write, the ink's the sperm
[01:34.37] Desire, the fire that ignites the torch to burn
[01:36.99] This is not rocket science, this is easy to learn
[01:39.92] My mic's the gavel, when I talk, court's adjourned
[01:42.48] Respect, even if you were ashes, you couldn't earn
[01:45.38] I embody antibiotics, you are infected with germs
[01:48.26] Rap's fatally ill, please get concerned
[01:51.13] Players pick turns to play, get burned
[01:53.74] I color commentate the game like Chick Hearn
[01:56.65] This is the moment of truth for my opponents and liars
[01:59.47] Vocals alone invoke the emotion of black choirs
[02:02.16] Fire, you don't wanna get burned like Rich Pryor
[02:04.89] Move back, who's that there? The live wire
[02:07.68] You will feel me, you will admire
[02:10.34] My struggle, my hustle, my soul, desire
[02:14.76] Ooh, oh, yeah
[02:18.60] Said, it's my desire, yes it is, yeah
[02:25.67] It's my desire, keep pushin', keep strivin'
[02:33.38] My passion, my fire, that's my desire
[02:39.21] I keep pushin', I keep strivin'
[02:42.17] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[02:47.90] That's my desire, I keep pushin', I keep strivin'
[02:52.66] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[02:59.05] That's my desire, I keep pushin', I keep strivin'
[03:04.55] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[03:10.07]
