We All Want the Same Thing

Kevin Michael, Lupe Fiasco Hey, little girl, don't cry, dry your eyes I wrote this song for you Now, it goes down Can you imagine every world? Every boy and every girl They'd all get the same things They'd all get the same things A little dough, a lot of love With a mom and dad to hug They'd all get the same things Huh, but down here the world is real And it don't matter how you feel Because, we don't get the same things We don't get the same things You got to work to stay alive Forty hours, from 9 to 5 We don't get the same things All my gangster friends, yeah And all my skater friends (What they want?) We all want the same thing (What we want, now?) We all want the same thing, yeah DJ's in the clubs, Jesus, freaks and thugs We all want the same thing Same thing, same thing Same thing, same thing, now And, I think about the way All the politicians say (What they saying, now?) Say they want to change things Say they want to change things But every year, they take some more And I don't know what it's for Though, they never change things (They don't change nothing) But, if you want to make it stop, stop Well, first, you got to start Making some big, old changes Doing some different things, yeah Get up out your bed, think outside your head And you won't get the same things Same thing, same thing Same thing, now All my gangster friends And all my skater friends (What they want, now?) We all want the same thing (What we want, now?) I said, we all want the same thing DJ's in the clubs, Jesus, freaks and thugs We all want the same thing Same thing, same thing Same thing now All my ex-girlfriends And all their new boyfriends (What they doing, now?) They all want the same thing (What they want, now?) I said, they all want the same thing From Wall Street to the hood New York and Hollywood We all want the same thing, yeah (And what you say, what you say?) Yeah, first say pie to the people The have's and the have not's Are we willing to give up all the hours Just to make it all equal? And make players out the mascots? 'Cause, right now, we don't see you Like the Sasquatch Unless, the root of all evil is what you have got You're even more visible If your hair is lots If not banging from the beach Then banish you to the sand box With no lifeguard to come after you No amount, you don't count, like Dracula Your bound to drown like a Titanic passenger Or, a Haitian refugee trafficker They come and get you off the island That you crashed into They take a yacht And send the slave ship back for you Money matters, don't let it master you Pressing on the answer Till they give you what you're asking for It's like that, yeah, it's like that This is a message to Remind you there's just one who calls love Take them to church, Kevin All my gangster friends (What they want, now?) And all my skater friends We all want the same thing I said, we all want the same thing DJ's in the clubs, Jesus, freaks and thugs We all want the same thing Same thing, same thing Same thing, same thing now All my ex-girlfriends (What they want?) And all their new boyfriends They all want the same thing I said, they all want the same thing From Wall Street to the hood New York and Hollywood We all want the same thing, yeah We all want the same thing, yeah
