Francis Fly - Anything Lyrics

Waking up in the third grade, I wanted one thing in the worst way
Mama said I can't right now, gotta wait until your birthday
You ever try to tell a kid that he can't have what he want right now?
Try to get him calm but he won't pipe down
Hard to swallow, even harder to bite down
This a bigger deal than what happened to Mike Brown right now, ah
That's how it happened in my mind
Thoughts of an adolescent boy at nine
Nothing but a favorite memory of a past time
Got me looking for a feeling that I can't find
Cause when mama came home
My mayday turned okay cause it was payday
She took me right into that store
Saying pick out what you want, baby boy it's yours, like

Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
And you can get anything you want

I said girl, why you work late?
I wanted one thing in the worst way
You wasn't even like that on our first date
She saying you was way better with your word play, but I doubt it
Why you frontin' girl you 'bout it
I done looked for another all around, I done scouted
But I can still feel alone in a room full of females, still getting crowded
She said babe I got the late shift
Shouldn't you be doing music anyway?
You still ain't shit, you ain't made it
Is it the best idea to have more time wasted?
That's why I love her cause she real though
Give a f*ck how you feel though
She said she's off around 11
Took her to the crib, gave a little piece of heaven saying

Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
And you can get anything you want

Well Lord, let me first say
I want one thing in the worst way
I know it's 3 am on a Thursday
I know I never really listen what the church say
I know I sin too much and I pray too little
Tryna take a lead but I'm somewhere in the middle
Having trouble dealing with myself like Sybil
Having trouble dealing with the world while civil
These are all my flaws, my mind's off, waiting to sign off, cause I'm lost
I was hoping with your guidance, this little n***a could compete with the giants
Or the tyrants, either of the two
Got to ask my question, I'll leave it up to you
Throw my prayers up Lord, reach 'em up to you
This my life, just teach me what to do, he said

Uh, I don't know Francis, this isn't looking too good
You got, one too many mistakes for my liking
Your family's not happy with you
Your girl, let's not even get into that one
I mean, I forgive you and everything but
We're going to have to have a talk
Maybe reprioritize some things
I, I don't know

Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
And you can get anything you want

Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
Anything you want, anything you want
And you can get, and you can get, anything you want
And you can get anything you want
