Kevin Peterson - Need It lyrics

[Verse 1] It's crazy how the time pa** It's feeling like a time lapse Going over everything while looking down this empty wine gla** I take a look around man while I'm skipping on this night gla** Living trapped inside the system When I try to do it I max I'm writing down my story and I hope this ain't the climax All I see is lost hope and people getting side tracked Thinking they go broke if they ever try to high jack this corrupted f**ing system Watch me hit em with a bypa** I only follow my map Don't give me no directions kid I'm tryna live it high cla** You ain't welcome in this section 2017 is my cla** but I don't feel no connection because all I see are life hacks tryna run from this oppression All I do is wake up Get to work and chase a dream I won't let a damn degree or anybody get between Y'all are glued and stuck to screens I'm pursuing make believe and I'm not sure which one is crazier Sometimes I think it's me but I still give all I got I'm tryna break out of these chains I'm tryna give these dreams a shot I just hope I got the aim Because honestly if not I'm scared to feel all of that pain of getting tied up in a knot and having nobody to save me from myself This right here is my life force Anything and everything that I stay alive for You wanna try and take it from me f** it, I'll die for it I'm building up my legacy ain't something there's time for It's all I think about every minute on my mind It's all I drink about when I'm eroded from that grind It's all I ever wanted man I guess I'll know in time if chasing after make believe will make the stars go in a line [Pre Chorus] Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can't sleep That you can't breathe That you can't eat That you can't speak That you can't leave or back up in the past You gotta keep it going which you work and pray that it last [Chorus] That's how you know you really need it That's how you know you really need it When you working while they sleeping and you searching for a reason Tryna make the world believe it You and everybody's sleeping Ah Yeah That's how you know you really need it That's how you know you really need it When you take on the impossible and work until you beat it You can have it if you dream it Manifest and learn to beat it Ah yeah [Verse 2] It's crazy how life goes Everybody's ticking all around for those high notes But when you just a foot above the ground on a tight rope Drowning, needing help They ain't providing no life boats I'm back in that white coat Cooking something crazy in the lab I'm finding comfort in insanity It's something that you have If you been chasing after dreams then honestly I'm kinda glad because the worst thing that they taught me was insanity is bad All this humanity I have is not destroyed but it's eroded I never knew to get stronger that you've gotta be broken I never knew that doors close just so others could open I guess that's why they remind you that thorns come with the roses Now every motherf**ing moment I got eyes on my back Once you got a foundations when they pray you collapse Kid I still haven't made it don't tell me to relax Cause I got people that hate this that probably setting their traps It's nothing but facts It's all I think about inside my head It's all that keeps me going when I'm hanging by a thread I'll never have a backup plan or sh** to do instead Cause if I'm not living these dreams then I'm already f**ing dead [Pre Chorus] Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can't sleep That you can't breathe That you can't eat That you can't speak That you can't leave or back up in the past You gotta keep it going which you work and pray that it last [Chorus] That's how you know you really need it That's how you know you really need it When you working while they sleeping and you searching for a reason Tryna make the world believe it You and everybody's sleeping Ah Yeah That's how you know you really need it That's how you know you really need it When you take on the impossible and work until you beat it You can have it if you dream it Manifest and learn to beat it Ah yeah
