The Way You Gotta Be (Kafile Outtake - Evren) Songtext

von Sagopa Kajmer

I drop with that beat
I hit with this groove
And that's what I mean
And that's what I do
And just when you think that you've heard it all
I find myself doing this and I've fallen,
Into this world and into this space
And into these ways and into this race
I just can't erase the things that I've seen
But I know that I've lived and it ain't no dream and
Time will be on my side, why?
Cuz I wait with the patience
Learn the mistakes that I made on the way to the place that I came
To the place that I go and I
Wanna make this music, cuz I choose, don't wanna lose it,
If I've got a chance to express those things that I've seen inside then I'll think I'll use it
Time, flies by, so fast and that's good
Cuz we all need change that's the way that it goes and the rest just shows that it would
It's gonna be my responsibility to free myself from demons in my dreaming
Seems that life can have its way with causing scheming to affect a situation
People having conversations,
Ain't even understanding one another, observations,
That I make when I take that time to rhyme,
About things that I see in the world outside,
Let me tell you right now when I close my eyes
I see more than I do in our daily lives
YOU GOT WHAT YOU SEE
YOU GOT WHAT YOU TOUCH
YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED
YOU GOT WAY TOO MUCH
YOU GOT WHAT YOU KNOW AND EVERYTHING YOU DON'T
AND ALL THINGS YOU WILL AND ALL THINGS YOU WON'T
YOU GOT WHAT YOU FEEL
YOU GOT WHAT YOU SAY
YOU GOT WHAT YOU DO
YOU GOT HOW YOU PLAY
YOU GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DREAMED
AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE WAY THAT YOU GOTTA BE

What's your problem this is what I gotta do
And I dont understand people on my back
It's like this is my time to do my thing
And all I'm gonna do is make beats and rap
And yeah that's a fact and man that's the truth
And I ain't gonna compromise my youth
And I've seen these folks go down in flames,
That's the way that it goes ain't that a shame,
Check it out now something' that I really believe,
Is if you love what you're doing' then you're ready to leave,
And if you're ready then you better give it all you got
Im saying now's your chance,
You better give it a shot,
You gotta do what you can cuz the world is fast
And if you don't before you know it you'll be coming' in last,
Man the flags gonna fly just for you at half mass,
Cuz your ass got smoked in the midst of the blast,
What's going on?
When I look around people sing sad songs,
Too many folks too afraid too long,
They lose hope and I think that's wrong
Every time that I do my thing
I feel something inside and Im ready to bring it now,
This is what I love to do,
Do this all the time for myself and people like you,
Listen up now hear what Im saying'
Don't waste time with the games people play,
When they're coming around and they say they'll be down but they just don't get what you're saying'
That's life that happens all the time,
We all make mistakes and that ain't a crime so
Just do what got to do to be strong
And the rest is the road that you're already on
YOU GOT WHAT YOU SEE
YOU GOT WHAT YOU TOUCH
YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED
YOU GOT WAY TOO MUCH
YOU GOT WHAT YOU KNOW AND EVERYTHING YOU DON'T
AND ALL THINGS YOU WILL AND ALL THINGS YOU WON'T
YOU GOT WHAT YOU FEEL
YOU GOT WHAT YOU SAY
YOU GOT WHAT YOU DO
YOU GOT HOW YOU PLAY
YOU GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DREAMED
AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE WAY THAT YOU GOTTA BE
