I Need It (Explicit) - Kevin Gates
Turn it up let me hear it
Turn it up let me hear it
Like dumb me up hear it
Oh dumb
I need it up in my life
Every night get on my knees and ask but
Heaven ain't been speaking back speaking back
I need it up in my life
This goes out to every ghetto every project
Who know losing's not an option
I need it up in my life yeah
All this money cars and clothes
You know I'm balling out control on you hoes
They attempt to label me inhumane
I believe in God but not your God
Last n***a got outta pocket on the wrong decor got broke off
What the **** is up with these ARs
Criticizing music they can't make
Poking fun at my struggle I don't find **** funny
I live in places that ain't safe
2008 I got my leg blown off
Any given day could get my head blown off
Rest in peace to Tyree Edwards
Bullet in his head got his head blown off
Tried school was a great kid
Academically I excelled in it
Grew up poor got teased a lot
'Cause my school clothes had a smell in 'em
Same shirt four weeks straight
On the block grinding caught sales in it
Juvenile detention my case worker said
I might be headed for a crash course
No father figure role models up in prison
All my jump shots hit the back board
Head-on collision not watching while I'm steering
No air bag head hit the dash board
I need it up in my life
Every night get on my knees and ask but
Heaven ain't been speaking back speaking back
I need it up in my life
This goes out to every ghetto every project
Who know losing's not an option
I need it up in my life yeah
All this money cars and clothes
You know I'm balling out control on you hoes
I need it up in my life
Yeah yeah yeah
Approaching me and wanna shoot the ****
But pretend as if they here to help gates
Behind my back in front of label heads
Saying Kevin just won't cooperate
Missed flights showing up late
I live life didn't rap about it
No time to live my time for them
How the **** I'm gon' rap about it
Speak the truth or rap around it
And in a wrap around I rapped about it
Tragic ending for some family members
In heaven sitting wishing I was with 'em
Instead I'm stuck in this hell on earth
With pretend friends who think of ways to get me
Couple n***as I loaned money
Said they got me ain't never get me
Tell a ***** no I'm never guilty
Still ain't got no guilty feeling
Always telling me what I should do different
But can't explain why they ain't winning
My own blood just turned against me
In disbelief I'm like not true
Devastated got caught off guard
When I seen the switch I'm like not you
I need it up in my life
Every night get on my knees and ask but
Heaven ain't been speaking back speaking back
I need it up in my life
This goes out to every ghetto every project
Who know losing's not an option
I need it up in my life yeah
All this money cars and clothes
You know I'm balling out control on you hoes
I need it up in my life
Yeah yeah yeah
