Lyrics

Yeah, Young Krizzle, third coast representer
Right now, in the rap game (Got a hold on me)
But that's cool 'cause it's my movement
Ya dig?
And if you don't believe me, then you'll fall for anything (Something)
And that's the type of shit that
Is bothering me
'Cause this industry gets you fucked up, ya dig?
So, stay cool, and you wanna do with your life (Whatever it is)
****, do it, make sure you can't leave it alone
'Cause I can't
I can't leave it alone, no
Three hundred representer, pimpin'
I always knew that it was something in my heart that got me trippin'
Today, like yesterday, it ain't no different
The struggle
Got a hold on me
And I can't breathe nowadays
I wanna leave nowadays
But Lord, I'm knowin' that there's somethin'
In this music and in my soul
The thought I might not blow
That shit just keeps on bothering me
And I don't know how long I can keep on like this
I need a sign, so whatever it is
I'm meant to do, I need to find it
'Cause the game is addictive
And I ain't gettin' out it
'Cause I can't leave it alone
Can't leave it alone, no
I try it, and I try, but they keep callin' me back
Yeah, they keep callin' me back
Because something in my music that makes me feel me
The sweetest melody sometimes can heal me 'cause
Got a hold on me
Like my grandma's hands
When I was younger, warmer than summer
Then I knew it was somethin'
That was bigger than the money and the fame
The fact is so many can change
Keeps
Botherin' me
Yo, but who am I to judge
It's been a while since I did it for the love
But whatever it is (Whatever it is)
I gotta pay for it
Sometimes happiness the only thing I pray for
I can't leave it alone (Can't leave it alone, no)
The will to ask questions
Like, how can George Bush receive blessings?
But I'm knowing that there's something
Or some things that I cannot explain
Forget, forgive the change and the pain
Got a hold on me
I got a gun to keep me safe
Sometimes I drink and smoke to get away
Because it's something that I know ain't right
Pop, forgive me, but this can't be life
And it's botherin' me
Because I wanna do better
But this rain seems to pour forever
So whatever it is (Whatever it is)
I fiend for it, think of it, speak on it
Wish for it, dream of it, and Lord
I can't leave it alone, no
No, I can't leave it alone
I can't leave it alone
And she said it was something (Something)
That draws her to me, and it's meant to be
And you the only one that ever, ever, ever
Got a hold on me
Yeah, but you ain't been the same
There was something that made you change
So tell me it was something or someone that made you feel good
Or way better than I ever could
Truth is, it's botherin' me
But I'm cool with it
Just know if it's over today that, you did it
But whatever it is
Don't let it take you to your grave
Protect yourself from aids
I know you want me to, but I can't leave it alone, no
I can't leave it alone
I knew I couldn't turn this house of ours into a home
And I said there's somethin'
That I've done to make you leave
Baby girl, why you trippin', can't you see
That you always got a hold on me
And I don't know what I could say
To make you stay, but I know I gotta say
Something, but now and then, I get tired
Of you packing your bags, and all this drama is
Botherin' me, and I don't need it on my mind
Lately, you been like this all the time
So whatever it is you feelin' guilty 'bout
Go and spit out while you accusin' me
You must be cheatin' 'cause you can't leave it alone, no
Why you cryin'?
See, you can't deny it
I was always had this feeling it was somethin'
That God gave me as a gift
The power to make words fit
I look at the sky
And dream of soarin' just as high
But as time goes by, it always somethin'
That'll knock me off my track
Got to get back 'cause time is short, ay
Can you feel it?
And I don't know how long I can keep on like this
I need a sign, so whatever it is
I gotta pay for it
Sometimes happiness the only thing I pray for
I can't leave it alone
Can't leave it alone, no
The will to do better as a man
I can't struggle forever because of somethin'
It's always something, man
It's got a hold on me, ha
Real shit, for real ****
Something
Real shit for real people, you know?
It keeps bothering me
That people don't wanna hear no real shit no more
But whatever it is
I gotta spit it to get to them, get to they mind
I can't stop 'cause
Can't leave it alone, no
I gotta spit this message
'Cause I'm about somethin', ha
