What I Want” by Ty Dolla $ign and Lil Wayne from the album Tycoon is a smooth, confident track that dives into the tug-of-war between desire and reason. Blending Ty Dolla $ign’s signature melodic R&B flair with Lil Wayne’s slick wordplay, the song reflects on temptation, attraction, and the realization that what we crave isn’t always what’s best for us. It’s a late-night anthem filled with hypnotic production from Mustard and sleek verses that balance sensuality with introspection.

         

At its core, “What I Want” is about the conflict between lust and logic—the tension between someone who feels right in the moment but wrong in the long run. Ty Dolla $ign delivers sultry vocals that wrap around the chorus like confessions from a man caught between emotions, while Lil Wayne counters with raw, playful verses packed with wit and double entendre. Their chemistry shines through in every line, creating a dynamic interplay between smooth R&B energy and assertive rap bravado.

Set against Mustard’s minimalist, bass-driven beat, the track carries a relaxed confidence that makes it stand out within the Tycoon lineup. It’s both laid-back and intoxicating, capturing the essence of fleeting pleasure that defines much of Ty Dolla $ign’s songwriting.

Lyrics of WHAT I WANT by Ty Dolla $ign

[Intro]
Uh, Mustard On The Beat, Ho

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Said She’s What I Want (What I Want)
But Not What I Need (What I Need)
She’s What I Want, But Not What I Need
She’s What I Want (What I Want)
But Not The One I Need (One I Need)
She’s What I Want, But Not What I Need (Ooh, Yeah)

         

[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign & Lil Wayne]
She Got What I Want But She Not What I Need (Uh)
Let You Hit My B**ch ‘fore I Let You Hit My Weed (Uh)
She Think She Got The Best But It’s Just Good To Me (Ah-ha)
I Done Had A Threesome With Two Sisters On A Beach (Uh)
She Said, “You’ll Never Find Another B**ch Like Me”
She Don’t Know I Meet Her Type Like Five Days A Week (B**ch)
Hoppin’ Off The Jet, And My Lv Bag Reek (B**ch)
Gotta Keep A Chop’ On Me ’cause Ain’t Shit Sweet (Sweet)
I Could Never Save Her, I’m A Different Type Of Breed (Different Type Of)
Cc On My B**ches, I Love All My Freaks (All My Freaks)
I Been Gettin’ Richer And These Niggas Hate To See It (Ooh, Yeah)
Textin’ Like A Broke Nigga, Sure Hate To Be It (Oh, Yeah)
Head So Good, Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye (Bye)
‘fore I Go, I Gotta Let Her Swallow My Pride (Pride)
Said She Wanna Come Back Through Tonight (Oh)
But Should I Swap Her Out? It Be Hard To Decide

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Said She’s What I Want (What I Want)
But Not What I Need (What I Need)
She’s What I Want, But Not What I Need
She’s What I Want (She’s What I Want)
But Not The One I Need (What I Need)
She’s What I Want, But Not What I Need (Ooh, Yeah)

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Ooh, Wait, I’ma Hop In It
If It’s Bbw, I Belly Flop In It
Why We Gossiping? Why We Not Sipping?
If She A Opp? I’m A Optimist
See, She The One I Want, But She Not The One I Need Though
All These B**ches Foul, I Been Knockin’ Down My Free Throws
Head In The Clouds, No, It’s Not That You Do Weed Smoke
Mona Lisa Smile, But She Not Gon’ Let Her Teeth Show
Even Though She Bad For Me, Neither She Too Good For These Niggas
She Be Bad For Me, Nigga, She Be Good To Me, Nigga
She Be Nasty, My Nigga, Like, “Ew” For Me, Nigga
She Gon’ Ride Me, Then Sit On Top My Hood For Me, Nigga
I Don’t Need You, But I Want You, Lil’ B**ch
I Want To See You, Like Some Art, You Lil’ B**ch
I’m Tryna Eat You A La Carte, You Lil’ B**ch
But Like A C Do, I Fall Off You, Lil’ B**ch

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Wayne & Both]
Said She’s What I Want (What I Want; Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
But Not What I Need (What I Need; Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
She’s What I Want (She’s What I Want)
But Not The One I Need (Not The One I Need)
She’s What I Want
But Not The One I Need (Ooh, Yeah)
