I Want Is Everything Lyrics

I Want Is Everything lyrics

Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he`s doing,
why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns-whatcha gonna learn in school
There`s got to be some way out of here,
he says "Man, this life is cruel!"

I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lied to changed her life
She changed her name,
her face because the grass looked greener on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she`s the one who cries

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I`ve had enough of havin` nothing, I won`t take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It`s my life Mr. - I ain`t running, I`m no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

My next door neighbor Donnie, died in his room just the other day
His brother came home,
found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vein
Cops came down with a body-bag,
they said Donnie was a casualty
I said, All it`s about is the voy checked out,
he couldn`t handle reality

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I`ve had enough of havin` nothing, I won`t take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It`s my life Mr. - I ain`t running, I`m no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
