I Need It Songtext
von Kevin Gates

Turn it up, let me hear it, turn it up, let me hear it
(Like how that bitch come in)
Ooh, dumb

I need it up in my life
Every night, get on my knees and next
But heaven ain′t been speaking back, speaking back
I need it up in my life, yeah, yeah, yeah
This goes out to every ghetto, every project
Who know losing's not a option
I need it up in my life yeah, yeah, yeah
All this money ′cause some closure
Know I'm ballin' out control on you

They attempt to label me inhuman, I believe in God, but not your god
Last nigga got out of pocket on the wrong car, got broke off
What the fuck is up with these A and R′s criticizing music they can′t make
Poking fun at my struggle, I don't find shit funny, I live in places that ain′t safe


2008, I got my leg blown off, any given day could get my head blown off
Rest in peace to Tyree Edwards, bullet in his head, got his head blown off
Tryin' school was a great kid, academically, I excelled in it
Grew up poor, got teased a lot ′cause my school clothes had a smell in 'em

Same shirt for a week straight, on the block grindin′, car sales in it
Juvenile detention, my caseworker say I might be headed for a crash course
No form to figure, role models up in prison, all my jump shots at the backboard
Head on collision, I watch 'em while I'm steerin′, no airbag, can′t hit the dashboard

I need it up in my life
Every night, get on my knees and next
But heaven ain't been speaking back, speaking back
I need it up in my life, yeah, yeah, yeah
This goes out to every ghetto, every project
Who know losing′s not a option
I need it up in my life, yeah
All this money 'cause some closure
Know I′m ballin' out control on you
I need it up in my life, yeah, yeah, yeah

Approaching me and wanna shoot the shit or pretend as if they here to help gates
Behind my back in front of label heads saying Kevin just won′t cooperate
Missed flights showing up late, I live life, didn't rap about it
No time to live, my time for them, how the fuck I'm gon′ rap about it


Speak the truth, won′t wrap around it, in the wrap around, I rapped about it
Tragic ending for some family members, in heaven sitting wishing I was with 'em
Instead, I′m stuck in this hell on earth with pretend friends who think of ways to get me
Couple niggas, I loan money, say they got me, ain't never get me

Tell a bitch no, I′m never guilty, still ain't got no guilty feeling always telling me what
I should do different but can′t explain why they ain't
When in my own blood just turned against me in disbelief, I'm like not true
Devastating got caught off guard when I saw the switch I′m like not you

I need it up in my life
Every night, get on my knees and next
But heaven ain′t been speaking back, speaking back
I need it up in my life yeah, yeah, yeah
This goes out to every ghetto, every project
Who know losing's not a option
I need it up in my life, yeah
All this money ′cause some closure
Know I'm ballin′ out control on you
I need it up in my life yeah, yeah, yeah
