GARY CLARK JR.
"JPEG Raw"

She said, "I choose you," but I know she's a choosy lover
It's all fun and games until the hangover
Pillow talk turns to real talk when that baby's comin'
I hope you feel the same way in the mornin', sober
Proactive, stay proactive
I stay ready so I'm not reactin'
Can't talk cut when it's time for action
And these are things your mama don't understand
Uh, we get easily distracted
When these real conversations need to happen
This is real life, ain't no actin'
I'ma look you right in the eyes, gotta ask you, woah

[Chorus:]
If this is what you want, what you waitin' for?
If this ain't what you want, what you want?

My boy just can't walk around in the store with the hoodie, hoodie
Thinkin' it's all gravy, goodie, goodie
They gon' be watching you like, "Lookie, lookie"
Trigger-happy cashier, damn, rookie, rookie
Thinkin' Black boy might got that Smith, Smith
In a business suit, standing 'round a ditch, ditch
Just know you gotta move around slick, slick
These are things your mama don't understand
My daughters ain't gotta shake hips to make tips
No judgement, if it makes cents, it makes sense
But I ain't with the ratchet, only racket they'll be havin'
Is if they pick up a good habit where their name is on the bracket
And I'm gonna be on 'em like King Rich, uh
If a boy puts his hands on you, chick, chick, boom
Even though daddy may be rich, rich, uh
Damn, life can be a bitch, bitch, uh

[Chorus:]
If this is what you want, what you waitin' for?
If this ain't what you want, what you want?
If this is what you want, what you waitin' for?
If this ain't what you want, what you want?

Ah, it's all my fault, I should've paid more attention
All my fault, I did it all for the pictures
All my fault, I knew there would be bigger issues
All my fault that I allowed this to continue
When I work too hard, just to give it up
For champagne brunches, go on, live it up
Don't put in, I still divvy up
I be out front, out front, rollin' up
All my fault, she fell for the new Basquiat
All my fault, uh
These are things your mama don't understand

[Chorus:]
If this is what you want, what you waitin' for?
If this ain't what you want, what you want?
If this is what you want, what you waitin' for?
If this ain't what you want, what you want?
