Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what heīs doing,
why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns-watcha gonna learn in school
Thereīs got to be some way out of here,
he says "Man this life is cruel"
I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lived to change her life
She changed her name, her face because the grass looked greener on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain,
but sheīs the one who cries
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything
Chorus:
Iīve had enough of havin' nothing, I wonīt take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
Itīs my life Mr. - I ainīt running, Iīm no puppet on a string
I want more that I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
My next door neighbor Donnie,
died in his room just the other day
His brother came home, found him dead on the floor
with a needle in his vein
Cops came down with a body bag,
they said Donnie was a casualty
I said, All itīs about is the boy checked out,
he couldnīt handle reality
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything
Chorus
I want it all
Solo
Chorus
