We All Want The Same Thing Lyrics - Kevin Michael

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
