* this is a remake of ed o.g.'s "i got to have it" |
|
We gonna do it like this, yo this is aceyalone |
|
Giving a big shout out to ed o.g. and the b.u.l.l.d.o.g.s. |
|
Yo whole rock this, look |
|
Yo brown is my complexion, |
|
I got that electric connection |
|
Now who needs some protection? |
|
We rocking hip-hop, come in and turn your gun off |
|
Gave you the mic and off the head you couln't come off |
|
I only say it cause nobody wants to shoot ya |
|
I'd rather teach you science and work on the future |
|
Aceyalone ain't not a phoney not by any means |
|
And by any means necessary be supreme |
|
I am the poet to flow with and get lyrical |
|
I write songs like smokey and the miracles |
|
I'm from l.a., city of the big bang |
|
But everywhere around the world they screaming "get thangs!" |
|
And at the same time |
|
I'm screaming out "i want mine!" |
|
It ain't nothing really new under the sunshine |
|
But sometime you got to put away the fun time |
|
Get it cause you only living one time, |
|
I got to have it360 knowledge of self (I got to have it!) |
|
Records all over the shelf (I got to have it!) |
|
The wind underneath my wings (I got to have it!) |
|
Money and fancy things (I got to have it!) |
|
The food for my family to eat (I got to have it!) |
|
The raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it!) |
|
My own piece of this earth (I got to have it!) |
|
For everything life is worth (I got to have it!) |
|
I got to have it in the 2 triple o |
|
It's either work nine to five or you rip a flow |
|
Or rob a nigga, but how low can you go? |
|
I ain't a thief, |
|
I just want relief for sho' |
|
I got to get mine, no different from everybody trying to get theirs |
|
So I was getting prepared |
|
Instead of spitting shots through the air, maybe getting the chair |
|
Yeah I got ta got ta, have it have it |
|
Like peas and carrots, broccoli and cabbage |
|
Bread and butter, now did |
|
I stutter? |
|
Don't you utter another word, you mouth is in the gutter |
|
And I can't take it, don't want nothing from you |
|
And I can't stay, |
|
I got this bitch something to do |
|
And it's more important than michael jordan |
|
Or operah winfery or billy cosby |
|
To the death like a kamikaze, huh, |
|
I got to have it360 knowledge of self (I got to have it!) |
|
Records all over the shelf (I got to have it!) |
|
The wind underneath my wings (I got to have it!) |
|
Money and fancy things (I got to have it!) |
|
The food for my family to eat (I got to have it!) |
|
The raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it!) |
|
My own piece of this earth (I got to have it!) |
|
For everything life is worth (I got to have it!) |
|
See I want everything that |
|
I don't have |
|
So don't laugh when |
|
I tell you that |
|
I want half |
|
But I don't want your half, |
|
I just want my half |
|
And on my behalf, put it on a phonograph |
|
Cd's tapes, packaged with a photograph |
|
And respect the ancestors when we walk the path |
|
Talk the math, speaking like a genuine |
|
Bless the gods, bless the mic, and then you rhyme |
|
And keep it going until you end up at the finish line |
|
And when you see the light beaming, then it's time |
|
We kick a four or ? ? ? this without a space ship |
|
Don't want to take your life, |
|
I know I can't replace it |
|
So while you're sitting around the house getting wasted |
|
You know you're not using your full potential now you're facing |
|
And plus, ain't nothing wrong with riding the bus |
|
So put on your nikes and kick rocks, |
|
I got to have it360 knowledge of self (I got to have it!) |
|
Records all over the shelf (I got to have it!) |
|
The wind underneath my wings (I got to have it!) |
|
Money and fancy things (I got to have it!) |
|
The food for my family to eat (I got to have it!) |
|
The raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it!) |
|
My own piece of this earth (I got to have it!) |
|
For everything life is worth (I got to have it!) |
|
Uh, all right, do it like that |
