Lyrics: (Chorus) What you want, what you want want, what you want want, [what you really want] (x hella times) I know ya I will hold ya Ah, go forward x2 Don't play small, don't play dumb They tried to tell us all that we are not enough Ain't gotta take another's just to get you some What do you want the most Grow or be comfortable Have you running on the track like three laps When it call you back, don't relapse We are not the same, we are different I been in my lane, where you been I know I frustrate when I do this Set the record straight, where the tunes is You can't hide it long, we know right from wrong We know you deserve what you been missing huh (Chorus) Welcome to this EP, This is the second of the First Friday series Where I'm dropping a three-track project every First Friday for six months With a different producer This producer is Taylor Aye, y'all Super talented, multi-talented in fact. Make sure to check out his work. I'm so grateful to be here on this track right now In the middle of this this journey as an emerging artist Thank you for all the support with the first one, here we go This is about us deserving what we want And you have to really ask yourself It takes bravery to admit to yourself one: what your dreams are And even more courage on top of that to go for it To go for whatever you want, however you want it So this is me asking you as many times as I possibly can, "What you want?" "What you WANT want?" This is me challenging us to go for it and not settle on anything in our lives Because we deserve it. We are worthy. So I hope you enjoy these vibes. Dive right into this tape, and the catalog that came before it, and stay tuned for what's next If I am blessed to continue to wake up and keep doing it. Thank you for being here. Alright, oh and my name is Jada Imani. I'll be your MC. peace! (Chorus)

Divide 02:12
(Chorus:) Divide, divide Why do we gotta divide? x3 Cause I don't like you And you don't like me I won't fight you But you wanna fight me Until I fight you And I'm what you make me We digging just a hole for ourselves in between, yea I wanna stay on the wave Don't wanna crash when we wake up Don't wanna get in your way Don't want the passion to break us I don't be feelin' no way No more that's you let's make up But if it's principle and community I can't let up (Chorus) Won't make you see nothin' I won't be nothin' Nothing to prove to you, won't jump through hoop for you When I do me honey, you M-A-D, honey Well that's too boo for you, maybe try to for you When you got what you need No you don't need validation You will not need me upon this play that you stagin' Oh, why don't we cut the noise?

Ticket 03:32
They wanna give me ticket but I'm living, oh I think they here to test me! x2 I wanna be an adult, adult but I don't I don't cause When I was younger My mind was grown up I cannot say that I do not know, uh Because I do better Why I did not do better I'm on CP time Kicks me in behind Who gon' back me up When I get this fine Nobody, dolo shawty But watch me when I pay it, no the court can't tell me nothing, oh (Bridge) Who can catch me there's no price tag on my spirit, oh I been laughing like a child I'm with them chirrens, oh I can pay, I can pay But will I pay But will I pay I yield my ways to the future I still might throw it in a U-turn I can pay, I can pay But will I pay, will I pay (Chorus) Why we gotta tiptoe round these laws Most/all our people behind bars Cause the slavery never ended, no they turned it to a shopping center We are not the center We the margins But somehow what we are Seems to spread around the world
