The Amplifetes – You Want It Lyrics:
(Verse)
Wake up looking dope, walking through the club forms
Checking out the late show, caving at your thing.
Working like a charm, running from the jungles.
Shining on main street, feeling all the same.

(Pre-Chorus)
Lay down your bed when somebody’s in there.
These days you’re so hollow, don’t even care.

(Chorus)
You want it, you got it, everybody’s talking all about it,
Gotta slow it down.
You want it, you got it, hold yourself a reputation on it,
Gotta slow it down.

(Verse)
Caught up in a loop, living on the mojo.
And you got all your friends sing, remember easy dose it down.
Turning on the rain, stumbling across the other guys.
Walking with the pants down, burning the gas.

(Pre-Chorus)
Sometimes you’re gone, but nobody knows that,
These days you’re so hollow, it’s in the air.

(Chorus)
You want it, you got it, everybody’s talking all about it,
Gotta slow it down.
You want it, you got it, hold yourself a reputation on it,
Gotta slow it down.
