Cameron Mackey - Gotta Get It Now lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been dreaming 'bout this rap thing for 10 years Back before the time when I could by my friends' beer Knew that with time and persistence I could make it work Like people paying off college, they working as a clerk Man, any way to get it I'm down Entertaining people like a f**ing party clown The thought of thousands of people screaming my words Sold out shows across the world, getting chauffeured At the end of the day, it's about that love of art Expression and pa**ion, I take that sh** all to heart Transcribe that motherf**er, put it in a song And that leaves us here man, I hope you sing along These days rappers talking 'bout the j**els they got There's no truth behind it expect for all the weed they bought They're trying to say I'm better by telling you what I'm not I hope you understand that it's food for thought [Chorus (x2)] What about the time you told me I could do anything And if I put my mind to it I could become the king Yeah, yeah, I gotta get it know Yeah, put your hands up if you feel it now [Verse 2] People tell me already you're a superstar And how my music's dope, it'll make it far I just hope that's true and I make 'em proud I would hate to let any of my family down Flash forward to a couple years from now Sold out shows, I just made a hundred thou LA to NY and everything in between My future seems identical to my dreams I could do anything I wanna do The beauty of that, it's the same rule for you I'm tired of people copping out with their life You only live once, better do it right [Chorus (x3)] What about the time you told me I could do anything And if I put my mind to it I could become the king Yeah, yeah, I gotta get it know Yeah, put your hands up if you feel it now
