Sumthin's Gotta Give Lyrics - Big Boi

It's funny right? They say things done change 

No more messages in the music, record sales down, gas prices up 

No more love in your love, no more love for your love 

Change is long overdue, Mary, something's gotta give, Big Boi 

You can trot around the planet or watch it on the news 

Sombody's 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 bitching Abercrombie 

Uh, don't get it mixed up me too 

I have insomnia at times but don't be walkin' 'round here blind 

Nigga feelin' all around, trying to find a righteous path 

It's appealin' when I rhyme 

So everytime I hit the masses, you know the common folk 

Blue collared day to day workers 

That squeeze a dollar so they baby can swallow 

A little not a lota just enough to fill that bottle

POPULAR SONG: Post Malone - 'Circles' - LYRICS 

HOT SONG: A$AP Rocky - 'BABU$HKA BOI' - LYRICS 

But it's a million dollars a gallon for some gas 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 

They trying to tell us to stay strong 

But every day we losing jobs 

From College Park out to Beverly Hills 

Somethin'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 

Somethin's gonna have to give 

The great debators debate about who's the greatest MC 

Subject matter don't matter because the verse is empty 

No food for thought nothing for the brain to digest 

So I guess it'd be about who can bullshit 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 pilot, take'em higher then a jet 

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

They trying to tell us to stay strong 

Nut every day we losing jobs 

(Everyday, everyday) 

From College Park out to Beverly Hills 

Somethin'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, yeah) 

If you can hear me on Capitol Hill 

Somethin's gonna have to give 

(Oh, yeah) 

Single mother in a struggle and it's no fun 

But you don't really understand until you are one 

A child is sick and is losing he's endurance 

She want to fix him but she 'aint got no insurance 

Now we don't even want to talk about the man's life 

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 in hand on his own block 

And blacks and whites we're 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 maybe in November I'll be cheering for Obama 

They trying to tell us to stay strong 

(Yeah) 

But everyday we losing jobs 

(Every day) 

From College Park out to Beverly Hills 

(Ooh) 

Somethin'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) 

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, get it now nigga 

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 is too big 

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 home 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 on the same team 

Now we all gotta deal with the lies 

They trying to tell us to stay strong 

(Yeah) 

But everyday we losing jobs 

(Every day) 

From College Park out to Beverly Hills 

Somethin'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) 

Somethin's gonna have to give 

(Yeah)
