Songtext zu 'Sumthin's Gotta Give' von Big Boi

(Intro)
It's funny right?
They say things that change
No more messages in the music
Record sales down
Gas prices up
No more love from your love
No more love for your love
Change is all overdue
Something's gotta give!
Big Boi!!

(Big Boi)
You can trot around the planet or watch it on the news
Somebody is getting shot the weather man's looking confused
He's reporting to a nation full of zombies
Strung out on starbucks and stitched up and pitching Abercrombie
Don't get it mixed up me too I get Insomni...a at times but don't be walkin round here blind
Feelin' all the rhymn trying to find a righteous path
It's a pilling when I rhymn so everytime I hit the mass...es
You know, the common folk.
Blue collared day to day workers that squeeze a dollar
So they maybe can swallow a little not a lota just enough to fill that bottle but it's 2 million dollars a gallon
Just to get to work tomorrow that's if you gotta get it, you 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
And pass it to the teller
But you know better

(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:
They're trying to tell us to stay strong
But everyday we're losing jobs
Now it's 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
If you can hear me on Capitol hill
Something's gonna have to give

(Big Boi)
The great debators debate about who's the greatest MC
Subject matter don't matter because the worst is empty
No Reafer thought nothing to no brain to digest so I guess
it'd be a Bat on who can Jive talk the best
But I give them light on like the traffic I direct
Inspiring their life like they was actors on my set
As if I was a politic, I'm higher than a 10
I'd be a liar if I wasn't sick and tired of this mess

(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:
They're trying to tell us to stay strong
But everyday we losing jobs
(every day, every day)
Now it's park out to Beverly Hills
Something's gonna have to give.
(Give it up y'all)
Across the world they live in fear
But it's the same thing over here.
(Over here)
If you can hear me on Capitol hill
Something's gonna have to give.
(Ohh, Yeah)

(Mary J.Blige)
Single mother in a struggle and it's no fun
But you don't really understand until you are one
A child's hide and seek game is losing it's endurance
She want to fix it but she ain't got no insurance
Now we don't even want to talk about the man's plight
Out on parol with the promise that he'll do right
But a felon has no chance for a new start
So it's back to doing hand to hand on his own plight
That night went all the same, and I know you feel my pain
And the only hope I have to help me deal with the Drama
Is that baby in November I'll be cheering for Obama.

(Mary J.Blige)
They're trying to tell us to stay strong
(Yeah)
But everyday we losing jobs
(Everyday)
Now it's park out to Beverly Hills
Something's gonna have to give
(Give it up Give it up)
Across the world they live in fear
But it's the same thing over here
(Over Here)
If you can hear me on Capitol hill
(Listen to me now)
Something's gonna have to give
(Give it up y'all)

(Big Boi)
The world is too big.
Free your mind or be stuck like porcupine
Left behind that's the bottom line
Gotta find the grind cause the time won't be coming back around getting lined.
The world is too big
Step on the stars while you're reaching for the sun
But never burn a bridge, each one, teach one
If you lend a helping hand, you may never be one
The world, the world is too big

(Mary J. Blige)
And I heard him say that every man, woman and child was gonna be okay
I heard him say that they would bring our soldiers back in one piece today
The world is too big
But it's not that way
They've been selling us a dream
Telling us we're on the same team
Not we all gotta deal with the lies!

(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:
They're trying to tell us to stay strong
(Yeah!)
But everyday we losing jobs
(Every day!)
Now it's park out to Beverly Hills
(Whoa whoa)
Something's gonna have to give
(Have to give!)
Across the world they live in fear
(Oh yeah)
But it's the same thing over here
(Over here)
If you can hear me on Capitol hill
(I know you hear me)
Something's gonna have to give.
(Yeah)
