Want Me

Share:

Tell your secrets you're safe
Damn did I come too late
You know Atlanta traffic like a bitch
I be quick to hit switch in my stick
And yea you know
I be tired after these shifts, say the timing not it
That's why I be out with my dogs and them
But when I come back (yea when I come back)

Don't turn your back
Why you do me like that? Cause I know you want me, I know you want me
When I come back don't turn you back (don't turn your back on me)
Why you do me like that? Cause I know you want me, I know you want me
I don't waste time
Especially since I run through these red lights on a daily
Yea you my baby
sh*t already drives me crazy
I know I'm never home now a days
Cause you stuck on them games that you play
I'm not the same, I'm not the same
Trying to give you everything, your ex a lame
But when I come back (yea when I come back)
Don't turn your back
Why you do me like that? Cause I know you want me, I know you want me
When I come back don't turn your back
Do me like
Do me (you better come back)
Do me like

Do me
Do me like (yea cause I know you want me)

In Chase Shakur's song "Want Me," the lyrics express a sense of frustration and longing in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "Tell your secrets you're safe, Damn did I come too late," suggest a desire for deeper emotional connection and vulnerability. The reference to Atlanta traffic emphasizes a sense of urgency and impatience in the relationship, as the artist mentions being quick to "hit switch in my stick" and wanting to return after being away.

The chorus repeats the theme of feeling wanted and desired, but also highlights the disappointment and confusion the artist feels when their partner turns their back on them. The lyrics imply that the artist is willing to give their all in the relationship, even alluding to running red lights to save time and make the most of their limited availability. However, the partner seems to be more invested in playing games rather than fully committing, as described by the line "Cause you stuck on them games that you play."

Overall, "Want Me" captures the struggle of wanting a meaningful connection in a relationship while experiencing frustration with the partner's behavior. It conveys a mix of emotions, ranging from longing and desire to disappointment and confusion.

Tell your secrets you're safe
Open up to me and trust that I will keep your secrets secure

Damn did I come too late
I hope I haven't arrived after the opportunity has passed

You know Atlanta traffic like a bitch
You are familiar with the frustrating traffic situation in Atlanta

I be quick to hit switch in my stick
I am swift in changing gears with my manual transmission vehicle

And yea you know
Indeed, you are aware

I be tired after these shifts, say the timing not it
I get fatigued after working long hours, suggesting that timing may not be ideal

That's why I be out with my dogs and them
That's why I spend my time with my friends and companions

But when I come back (yea when I come back)
However, once I return

Don't turn your back
Please don't reject or ignore me

Why you do me like that? Cause I know you want me, I know you want me
Why are you treating me this way? Because I am aware of your desire for me

I don't waste time
I don't squander my time

Especially since I run through these red lights on a daily
Particularly because I consistently disregard traffic signals

Yea you my baby
Yes, you are my beloved

sh*t already drives me crazy
The situation already frustrates and overwhelms me

I know I'm never home now a days
I am aware that I am rarely at home lately

Cause you stuck on them games that you play
Because you are preoccupied with the games you engage in

I'm not the same, I'm not the same
I have transformed, I am different now

Trying to give you everything, your ex a lame
I am making an effort to provide you with everything, compared to your previous partner who was unsatisfactory

Don't turn your back
Please don't reject or ignore me

When I come back don't turn your back
When I return, please don't reject or ignore me

Do me like
Treat me in the following manner

Do me (you better come back)
Treat me in this way (you should return)

Do me like
Treat me in the following manner

Do me
Treat me in this way

Do me like (yea cause I know you want me)
Treat me in this way (because I am aware of your desire for me)
