Something's Gotta Give

[Tre
Day]

Hey, what's happening man?



[Matthew]

Ain't much changed. It's still the same



[Verse 1: Matthew]

Yo, when I was fifteen I bought a microphone

And I could only record when I was home alone

You see I didn't have a style, trying to find my own

Until one day my dad walked in and said

What are you trying to do?

I see you cussing a lot and that ain't you

You need to keep on drawing and get back to school

So I did what he said but deep down I knew

That it wouldn't take me long before I write another song

So many times I think about it when I find myself alone

When there's nothing else to think about

What is there to think about?

Like every other rapper man I'm trying to just make it out

So is it any wonder why I just can't sleep?

And how every rhymes got to be deep

But for now when I talk, nobody seems to listen

Maybe they will when I'm no longer living

Cause I know there's a lot of people that's just like me

Living with their parents and they got a degree

Then they owe a lot of money cause it ain't cheap

And you don't wanna go back to your parents house

But these student loans make it hard to move out

So now you live your life check by check

Where you wake up in the morning and you get no rest

Then you look up at the mirror and you see someone else

Not knowing that you're not even being yourself

And all of these years, you've been cheating yourself

But no regrets, gotta learn from that

I done made up my mind no turning back

Gave Kevin a call said let's record the track

So when I'm dead and gone and the world looks back

You see a legend in his prime

Or do I gotta pretend to be somebody else for the end of time?



[Hook: Tre

Saying something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta, something's gotta

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Gotta give, gotta give



[Hook: Matthew & Tre
Day]

Man hold up, something's gotta give

Cause I'm tired of living life like this

I go to work, pay my bills but I'm tired of living life like this

Wake up, check the news

Give it up, break the rules

But something's gotta

Something's gotta

Something's gotta

Something's gotta give



[Hook: Matthew]

Lord what can I say?

Could you take me away?

From the pressures of today

Ayo Trey break it down



[Verse 2: Tre
Day]

Something's gotta give

Wondering will I live

Make it to see tomorrow

Represent for my kid

When everywhere I turn

I get burned, look what you did

What the hell is a friend?

If he don't want you to win

I know this life is full of struggle

Knowing that it could end

I get back on my hustle

Get knocked back down again

But then I roll one up and get a paper and pen

Then I put it all together now the story begins

Through my lens is what you're seeing

Even all of the demons

Even all the people that said I was only dreaming

They say one in a million make it, I know the odds

I play forever waiting, hating every mirage

Dodge another bullet then get back on the grind

Somewhere deep inside I find the strength to keep me alive

Another day we survive's another we can make it

Jump on the track and see how far I can take it

I'm losing my patient

But I know that we got something amazing

And it'll be a shame if we waste it

These lyrics I'm blazing

Will lift my feet right off of the pavement

If something doesn't give I'll go crazy

I'm holding on



[Hook: Matthew & Tre
Day]

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta, something's gotta

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta, something's gotta

Something's gotta give



[Hook: Matthew]

Lord what can I say?

Could you take me away?

From the pressures of today

Hey, uh

Lord what can I say?

Could you take me away?

From the pressures of today

Hey



[Hook: Matthew & Tre
Day]

Man hold up, something's gotta give

Cause I'm tired of living life like this

I go to work, pay my bills but I'm tired of living life like this

Wake up, check the news

Give it up, break the rules

But something's gotta

Something's gotta

Something's gotta

Something's gotta give



[Outro: Matthew]

Give

Give

Or do I gotta pretend to be somebody else for all time?
