Drea - Got To Explain lyrics

[Verse 1: James Watts] I can't live and hold the Flip so someone gotta tape this Feeling like nobody's doing it so someone's got make this I used to be consumed with it, but now it's back to basics "This" being some epic sh**, "it" being the fakeness He don't fret now, about being destined for greatness Instead he tries to write history, in all of his latest And if that's that next big thing, "appreciated" And if not, just as well, I'm back to my makeshift Lab in my living room Back to the pen and the pad, I'mma give it to em' Let the world live it through him I found that, that I'd rather provide the soundtrack For real cats doing real things, I been around that For so long, I'm feeling like, I never knew nothing else Tried everything to fit in, but found nothing helps A born champion, so why I gotta cuff the belt? When just being me makes em' say "that boy is something else..." [Hook: Drea] Said I just got to explain it I could never change it Oh, it's got its hold on me Said I just got to explain it Still the way I came in Why won't they let me be? So I just got to explain it Why would I change this? Love the hold it got on on me Said I just got to explain Came to change the game Y'all gon' have to let me be... [Verse 2: James Watts] I'm standing at the base of my legacy, my eyes is on the summit Walking through the coldest winter with the fire in my stomach With plans to plant my flag, through probable risk of plummet I been playing with potential too long, time to become it And "it"?, Well that's a legend past the limits of imagination Luxury goods, lavish, a lack of aggravation A lot of cash, laughing hard, a living celebration And not seeing the name "James" on job applications Ha....imagine that, yeah that'd be something different I want the limelight, with just a little shift in pigment Some sixteen bar soliloquies, that's been imprinted In your mind and heart forever, that's the proof I did it That's the proof I made it, when they say that James their favorite Straight up out the Garden State, I bloom 'til you consume the fragrance This what I do for free, imagine what'd I do with payment Sk** collectors calling my house, I'm overdue to make it... [Hook: Drea] Said I just got to explain it I could never change it Oh, it's got its hold on me Said I just got to explain it Still the way I came in Why won't they let me be? So I just got to explain it Why would I change this? Love the hold it got on on me Said I just got to explain Came to change the game Y'all gon' have to let me be... [Verse 3: James Watts] Switch! Everybody wanna know about young James, and when he gonna drop, swear to God that I'm coming Know I took a little time but you're used to every rhyme dudes makin' little songs but they jawns sayin' nothing And my jawns say something, you can feel it in your guts Figured that my lyrical ability, it was a plus When I do it on stage I watch the ladies go nuts So why would I stop what I does?, plus Can't nobody really do it like I can do The boy is freaking nice I need to write me down a manual Full of "how-to's" and examples A guide to the double time rhymes and the samples And I got samples, yeah I got beats too, crack All you need is at least two stacks For the right price I could make you right For the right-er price I could make you flame like a lighter, like that "Like that?" "Come see me", but it's back to the topic Can't explain, but I cannot ever stop it Used to be out for the props like a movie But the props ain't pay, so I'm out for the profit Nah, I'm just playing, but I'm just saying If I rhyme then that means you paying If you want to see "J" but you ain't got a "G" I'mma see you later homeboy, I'mma stay in So it's back to the house, headed back to the couch Need a stack or better for the rap in my mouth If I'm packing your house, but light up in my pocket Then it's back in the Ac' and I'm backing it out Gotta Nike on the gas and my hand on the wheel Throw a deuce to the sky, put the rubber on peel Could really care less how y'all feel Boy I just.. [Hook: Drea] Said I just got to explain it I could never change it Oh, it's got its hold on me Said I just got to explain it Still the way I came in Why won't they let me be? So I just got to explain it Why would I change this? Love the hold it got on on me Said I just got to explain Came to change the game Y'all gon' have to let me be...
