The title of this post is an example of spoken English. The sounds have been made into words which are similar to the original words, but not the same. A translation into more formal English would be "You've got to want to."
Here are a few more examples of this kind of spoken English:
Gonna = going to
Hafta = have to
Gimme = give me
Lemme = let me
Should've = should have
Would've = would have
Could've = could have
Ya = you
Doncha = don't you
It's typical to find these kinds of expressions in songs, because people rarely sing in a formal way. Also, some singers and native speakers say -in instead of -ing, for example "I'm goin' to California."
