Sumthin's Gotta Give

(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)
