Sumthin's Gotta Give

We can fight around the planet or watch it on the news

Somebody's getting shot

The weather man's looking confused

He's reporting to a nation full of zombies

Strong out on starbucks and stitched up and been

An amber crime

Be uh don't get it mixed up

Me too i have insomni

Uh at times but don't be walking around here blind

Feeling all around tryna find the righteous

It's appealing when i rhyme

So every time i hit the math sis

You know the common folk blue collar

Day to day work as they squeeze a dollar

So they baby can swallow

A little not a lot of just enough to fill that bottle

But it's a million dollars a gallon

For some gas to get the work tomorrow

That's if you got a gig and can't swim in carpool

You rob peter to pay paul to make due

Make you wanna write a note

And take a pistol to that bank too

Then pass it to the teller but you know better

They try to tell us to stay strong but

Every day we losing jobs

From college park out to beverly hills

Something's gonna have to give

Across the world they live in fear

But it's the same thing over here

Me on capital hill

Something's gonna have to give

The great debater's debater about

Who's the greatest mc's

Subject matter don't matter because the verse is empty

No proof or thought nothing for the brain to digest

So i guess it'd be a bat who can job talk the best

But i give em light and like the traffic i direct

Inspiring their life like they was actors on my set

As if i was a pilot take 'em higher than a jet

I'd be a liar if i wasn't sick and tired of this mess

They try to tell us to stay strong but

Every day we're losing job

Every day we walk out the beverly hills

Something's gonna have to give give it up

World they live in fear

But it's the same thing over here over here

You can play me on capital hill

Something's gonna have to give oh yeah

A single mother and a struggle and it's no fun

But you don't really understand until you're all one

A child sick game he's losing his endurance

She wanna fix him but she ain't got no insurance

And we don't even wanna talk about the man's pipe

I know parole with the promise that'll do right

But a felon has no chance for a new start

So it's back to doing handoutshand on his own block

Acting like we're all the same yeah

And i know you feel my pain

And the only hope

I have to help me deal with the drama

Is that maybe innovember i'll be cheering for obama

They tryna tell us to stay strong yeah

But every day we losing jobs

Every day we always park out the beverly hills

Something's gonna have to give give it up

I know they live in fear

But it's the same thing over here

If you can get me oncapital hill

Listen to me now something's gonna have to give

Give it up y'all girl it's too big free your mind

Or be stuck like porcupine

Left behind that's the bottom line gotta find a grind

Cause the time won't be coming back around

Get it nine nine

Girl it's too big step on the stars while you

You're reaching for the sun but never burn a bridge

Each one teach one if you lend a helping hand

You may never need one either need one

Girl is too big

And i heard them say

That every man woman child was gonna be okay

I heard them say

That they would bring us home in one piece today

Hey hey the world is too big but it's not that way

They've been selling us a dream

Telling us we on the same team

Now we all gotta deal with the lies

As long as i was

Who stays from yeah

But every day we losing job bridges

And i was parked out the beverly hills

Oh something's gonna happen

Get up to get across the world they live in fear

Oh yeah well it's the same thing over here

Over here you can hear me on capital here

I know you hear me

Something's gonna have to give yeah
