<strong>Something's Gotta Give Ft. Mary J. Blige Lyrics</strong>

(Verse 1)

You can try to run the planet

Or watch it on the news

Somebody's getting shot

The weathermans looking confused

He's reporting to a nation full of zombies

Strung out on Starbucks and bitching Abercrombie

Don't get it mized up, me too I have insomni-a, at times but dont be walking around here blind, feeling all around trying to find a righteous path.

Its a peelin when I rhyme so everytime I Hit the Bassist.

You Know the commonfolk, blue collar, day to day workers that squeeze a dollar, so maybe they can swallow, a little, not a lot, just enough to fill that bottle

But its a million dollars a gallon for gas to get to work tomorrow.

Thats if you gotta get it, cant swim and carpool, you rob peter to pay paul to make due, make you wanna write a note and take a pistol to that bank too, then pass it on the teller

But you know better

(Chorus-Mary J Blige)

They try to tell us to stay strong, but every day we losing jobs, from College Park down to Beverly Hills, Somethings Gonna Have to Give

Across the world they live in fear but its the same thing over here.

If you can hear me on Capitol Hill, Somethings gonna have to give.

(Verse 2)

The great debaters debate about whos the greatest MC's, subject matter dont matter because the verse is empty.

No food for thought, nothing for the brain to digest, so I guess it be about who can jive talk the best, but I give them light like the traffic I direct, aspiring they life like they was actors on my set as if I was a politic, Im higher than a tent, I'd be a liar if I wasn't sick and tired of this mess.

(Chorus)

(Mary J Blige verse)

Single mother in the swallows and its no fun, but you dont really understand until you are one, a childs sick and hes losing his endurance, she wanna fix him but she aint got no insurance.

Now we don't even wanna talk about the man's bite

[Something's Gotta Give Ft. Mary J. Blige Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]

Out on parole with the promise that he'll do right, but a felon has no chance for a new start, so its back to doing hand to hand on his own life, and blacknights were all the same, and I know you feel my pain, and the only hope I have that help me deal with the drama, is that maybe in November

I'll be cheering for Obama.

(Chorus)

(Deep Voice)

The world is too big

(Big Boi)

Free ya mind or be stuck like porcupine, left behind thats the bottom line, gotta find that grind because the time won't come back around, get it now!

(Deep Voice)

The World is too big

(Big Boi)

Step on the stars, while your reaching for the sun, but never burn a bridge, each one teach one

If you lend a helping hand, you may never need one

(Deep Voice)

The World is too big

(Mary J Blige-last verse of song)

And I heard him say that every man, women, child was gonna be ok

I heard him say that they would bring home our soldiers home in one piece today, hey!

(Deep Voice)

The World is too big

(back to Mary J Blige)

But its not that way

They been tellin us a dream

Tellin us were on the same team

Now We all gotta deal with the lies.

(Chorus)

The end
