Caleborate What U Want

Homage, even in the slightest way, is the biggest form of flattery when it comes to making music. Artist have for years been sampling each other, whether it’s a bar, a beat or an entire verse  — remember when Weezy jacked Aaliyah’s “I Don’t Wanna” for a mixtape song with Pleasure P?

In short, sampling can be considered an honor when done correctly, and Cali-bred rapper Caleborate does just that with his new record “What U Want” that gives a slight nod to the classic 1997 hip-hop soul record of the same name by Harlem rap icon Mase and R&B trio Total.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want from me (What you want? What you want?)
Tell me what you need (What you need? What you need?)
Take you for a ride down the California coast ’til the tank hits E (What you want? What you want? What you want? What you want?)
Tell me where to go from here (What you want? What you want?)
Tell me who you see (What you need? What you need?)
When you look me in the eyes
I can feel it in my soul
I just wanna be free (Yeah-ayy, yeah, yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
With no concern we left our home to make it work
I grabbed my phone, she grabbed her purse, I tucked my shirt
I told her if she really need I’ll travel the world to find it
If it’s smoke or designer, I’ll get it don’t mind the mileage
Road runnin’, she know I’m bandit
Just want more blessings for my family
And ascension for my niggas
And to put this money in your hand, babe
On the PCH, top down, let ’em see (Yeah, let ’em see)
And don’t look back (And don’t look back), just look at me (Just look at me)
She say let’s breathe, okay, I’m gone now (Gone)
What comes next? I don’t even know now (I don’t even know now)
My felony love, smoothen these kinks of mine forever ’til we see love
And you step on only rose petals
I’ma grab these Luckies for you
Kick door and hold it for you
Do too much if they touch you
Catch bodies if they hurt you (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want from me (What you want? What you want?)
Tell me what you need (What you need? What you need?)
Take you for a ride down the California coast ’til the tank hits E (What you want? What you want? What you want? What you want?)
Tell me where to go from here (What you want? What you want?)
Tell me who you see (What you need? What you need?)
When you look me in the eyes
I can feel it in my soul
I just wanna be free (Yeah-ayy, yeah, yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy)

[Verse 2]
She just needed love (Love, love)
I needed someone to trust (Trust, trust)
I grip the grain and look at you
Wind blowin’ through your hair, you lookin’ too, yeah
I put us in a private location so we can lay here
Stay with me these few seconds and I’ma hold my breath in
Call me when it’s time to go and I’ma choose my weapon
And if they step too close, I’ma blast
Though I hope I don’t have to
And I can’t hear what they sayin’, just hear your voice
Light hit your skin, glowin’ gold like this coast
I know they will never understand you, and know/all your different sides
They won’t ever go this far without takin’ you for a ride, I know
I can hear the sirens
So put your hand in mine and keep me locked in
This right here my finest hour and you the finest
Tell me what you want and I won’t let you die without it

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want from me (What you want? What you want?)
Tell me what you need (What you need? What you need?)
Take you for a ride down the California coast ’til the tank hit E (What you want? What you want? What you want? What you want?)
Tell me where to go from here (What you want? What you want?)
Tell me who you see (What you need? What you need?)
When you look me in the eyes
I can feel it in my soul
I just wanna be free (Yeah-ayy, yeah, yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy)
