I Got To Have Too

* this is a remake of ed o.g.'s "i got to have it"

We gonna do it like this, yo this is aceyalone

Giving a big shout out to ed o.g. and the b.u.l.l.d.o.g.s.

Yo whole rock this, look

Yo brown is my complexion,

I got that electric connection

Now who needs some protection?

We rocking hip-hop, come in and turn your gun off

Gave you the mic and off the head you couln't come off

I only say it cause nobody wants to shoot ya

I'd rather teach you science and work on the future

Aceyalone ain't not a phoney not by any means

And by any means necessary be supreme

I am the poet to flow with and get lyrical

I write songs like smokey and the miracles

I'm from l.a., city of the big bang

But everywhere around the world they screaming "get thangs!"

And at the same time

I'm screaming out "i want mine!"

It ain't nothing really new under the sunshine

But sometime you got to put away the fun time

Get it cause you only living one time,

I got to have it360 knowledge of self (I got to have it!)

Records all over the shelf (I got to have it!)

The wind underneath my wings (I got to have it!)

Money and fancy things (I got to have it!)

The food for my family to eat (I got to have it!)

The raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it!)

My own piece of this earth (I got to have it!)

For everything life is worth (I got to have it!)

I got to have it in the 2 triple o

It's either work nine to five or you rip a flow

Or rob a *****, but how low can you go?

I ain't a thief,

I just want relief for sho'

I got to get mine, no different from everybody trying to get theirs

So I was getting prepared

Instead of spitting shots through the air, maybe getting the chair

Yeah I got ta got ta, have it have it

Like peas and carrots, broccoli and cabbage

Bread and butter, now did

I stutter?

Don't you utter another word, you mouth is in the gutter

And I can't take it, don't want nothing from you

And I can't stay,

I got this ***** something to do

And it's more important than michael jordan

Or operah winfery or billy cosby

To the death like a kamikaze, huh,

I got to have it360 knowledge of self (I got to have it!)

Records all over the shelf (I got to have it!)

The wind underneath my wings (I got to have it!)

Money and fancy things (I got to have it!)

The food for my family to eat (I got to have it!)

The raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it!)

My own piece of this earth (I got to have it!)

For everything life is worth (I got to have it!)

See I want everything that

I don't have

So don't laugh when

I tell you that

I want half

But I don't want your half,

I just want my half

And on my behalf, put it on a phonograph

Cd's tapes, packaged with a photograph

And respect the ancestors when we walk the path

Talk the math, speaking like a genuine

Bless the gods, bless the mic, and then you rhyme

And keep it going until you end up at the finish line

And when you see the light beaming, then it's time

We kick a four or ? ? ? this without a space ship

Don't want to take your life,

I know I can't replace it

So while you're sitting around the house getting wasted

You know you're not using your full potential now you're facing

And plus, ain't nothing wrong with riding the bus

So put on your nikes and kick rocks,

I got to have it360 knowledge of self (I got to have it!)

Records all over the shelf (I got to have it!)

The wind underneath my wings (I got to have it!)

Money and fancy things (I got to have it!)

The food for my family to eat (I got to have it!)

The raps that can ride these beats (I got to have it!)

My own piece of this earth (I got to have it!)

For everything life is worth (I got to have it!)

Uh, all right, do it like that
