Grammar:

• Whatever you want, Whatever you need

  ➔ "Whatever" as a noun clause.

  ➔ Here, "whatever" introduces a noun clause acting as the object of the verb. It means "anything that". The phrase could be rephrased as "Anything that you want" and "Anything that you need".

• Anything you want done baby, I'll do it naturally

  ➔ Causative "have/get something done". Future Simple "I'll do" (will do).

  ➔ "Anything you want "done"" uses the causative construction, implying someone else will do it, directed by you. "I'll do it naturally" shows a promise or intention to perform the action in the future.

• I can read your thoughts right now, Every one from A to Z

  ➔ Modal verb "can" for ability. "From A to Z" idiom.

  ➔ "Can read" expresses the ability to understand someone's thoughts. "From A to Z" idiomatically means "completely" or "thoroughly".

• I can sense your needs like rain onto the seeds

  ➔ Simile using "like".

  ➔ The sentence uses a simile to compare the speaker's ability to sense needs to the way rain nourishes seeds. The word "like" signals the comparison.

• I ain't braggin', 'cause I'm the one

  ➔ Informal contraction "ain't". "Because" abbreviated as "'cause".

  ➔ "Ain't" is a colloquial contraction of "am not", "is not", or "are not". "'Cause" is a shortened, informal version of "because". Using these creates a casual and conversational tone.
