Gotta Have It

I can't see myself when i'm looking in the mirror I lost sight but i gain vision this my battle cry but yall don't hear me I'm in war with myself so i pray for my enemies These leeches tryna drain my of my energy Smilling faces but i know they ain't a friend of me I learned to accept what i can't change So i hustle like mccoy in the seventies Gotta keep gold on my watch and rings Just hand me the mic and watch me do my thang See ion play bout my money na if i lend it then you owe me See na that's a nigga for ya I'm attractive but i'm bout to get ugly Spend time with my lady just to calm my nerves She roll it up sit back she watch me let it burn Then she straighten me out like i bought a perm She say a bad as nicotine so i cancel her I can see you praying that i don't make it I caught a flat tire but know how to change it How i got here man i can't explain it When they see you as a threat that's when they start hating but Respect i gotta have it nigga A sexy woman i gotta have it nigga Plenty of money i gotta have it nigga A big bag of trees i gotta have it nigga Respect i gotta have it nigga A sexy woman i gotta have it nigga Plenty of money i gotta have it nigga A big bag of trees i gotta have it nigga Tonight i'm not myself girl i'll be yo outlet if you let me plug Hell it ain't nothing for me to cut a rug Two step on yo ass til you had enough I'm just a nobody from a small town But look around i can prove how i put it down I been underrated since i was a child Shid wish my granddad could see me now I gotta stay focus cause i want it bad As long as i finish i can finish last Cuz the whole goal is to get some cash And awake your self conscience Just dig in the past See we put our faith in a lie Even though we can see the truth Hell the proof's in the pudding And you're welcome to come get a scoop I can't see myself (grunt) When i'm looking in the mirror (grunt) I lost sight but i gain vision This my battle cry but yall don't hear me but Respect i gotta have it nigga A sexy woman i gotta have it nigga Plenty of money i gotta have it nigga A big bag of trees i gotta have it nigga Respect i gotta have it nigga A sexy woman i gotta have it nigga Plenty of money i gotta have it nigga A big bag of trees i gotta have it nigga
