The Way You Gotta Be (Kafile outtake - Evren) - Sagopa Kajmer

I drop with that beat

I hit with this groove

And that's what I mean

And that's what I do

And just when you think that you've heard it all

I find myself doing this and I've fallen,

Into this world and into this space

And into these ways and into this race

I just can't erase the things that I've seen

But I know that I've lived and it ain't no dream and

Time will be on my side, why?

Cuz I wait with the patience

learn the mistakes that I made on the way to the place that I came

To the place that I go and I

Wanna make this music, cuz I choose, don't wanna lose it,

If I've got a chance to express those things that I've seen inside then I'll think I'll use it

Time, flies by, so fast and that's good

Cuz we all need change that's the way that it goes and the rest just shows that it would

It's gonna be my responsibility to free myself from demons in my dreaming

Seems that life can have its way with causing scheming to affect a situation

People having conversations,

Ain't even understanding one another, observations,

That I make when I take that time to rhyme,

About things that I see in the world outside,

Let me tell you right now when I close my eyes

I see more than I do in our daily lives

YOU GOT WHAT YOU SEE

YOU GOT WHAT YOU TOUCH

YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED

YOU GOT WAY TOO MUCH

YOU GOT WHAT YOU KNOW AND EVERYTHING YOU DON'T

AND ALL THINGS YOU WILL AND ALL THINGS YOU WON'T

YOU GOT WHAT YOU FEEL

YOU GOT WHAT YOU SAY

YOU GOT WHAT YOU DO

YOU GOT HOW YOU PLAY

YOU GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DREAMED

AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE WAY THAT YOU GOTTA BE

What's your problem this is what I gotta do

And I dont understand people on my back

It's like this is my time to do my thing

And all I'm gonna do is make beats and rap

And yeah that's a fact and man that's the truth

And I ain't gonna compromise my youth

And I've seen these folks go down in flames,

That's the way that it goes ain't that a shame,

Check it out now something' that I really believe,

Is if you love what you're doing' then you're ready to leave,

And if you're ready then you better give it all you got

Im saying now's your chance,

You better give it a shot,

You gotta do what you can cuz the world is fast

And if you don't before you know it you'll be coming' in last,

Man the flags gonna fly just for you at half mass,

Cuz your ass got smoked in the midst of the blast,

What's going on?

When I look around people sing sad songs,

Too many folks too afraid too long,

They lose hope and I think that's wrong

Every time that I do my thing

I feel something inside and Im ready to bring it now,

This is what I love to do,

Do this all the time for myself and people like you,

Listen up now hear what Im saying'

Don't waste time with the games people play,

When they're coming around and they say they'll be down but they just don't get what you're saying'

That's life that happens all the time,

We all make mistakes and that ain't a crime so

Just do what got to do to be strong

And the rest is the road that you're already on

YOU GOT WHAT YOU SEE

YOU GOT WHAT YOU TOUCH

YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED

YOU GOT WAY TOO MUCH

YOU GOT WHAT YOU KNOW AND EVERYTHING YOU DON'T

AND ALL THINGS YOU WILL AND ALL THINGS YOU WON'T

YOU GOT WHAT YOU FEEL

YOU GOT WHAT YOU SAY

YOU GOT WHAT YOU DO

YOU GOT HOW YOU PLAY

YOU GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DREAMED

AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE WAY THAT YOU GOTTA BE
