Something Got A Hold

(Album: K.R.I.T. Wuz Here - 2010)

(Something) Yeah, Young Krizzle, Third Coast representer
Right now the rap game (gotta hold on me)
But it's cool cause it's my movement, ya dig?
And if you don't believe in (something)
Then you'll fall for anything
And that's the type of shit that (it's bothering me)
Cause the industry gets you fucked up you dig?
So stay cool and (whatever it is)
You wanna do it 'cho life nigga do it make sure you can't leave it alone cause I can't
(I can't leave it alone)
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 (gotta hold on me)
And I can't breathe nowadays
I wanna leave nowadays
But Lord I'm knowin that there (something)
In this music and in my soul
The thought I might not blow
Dat 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)
I try it and I try but they keep callin me back
Yea they keep callin me back because there's (something)
In my music that makes em feel me
The sweetest melody sometimes can heal me cause
(Gotta hold on me) like my grandmas hands
When I was younger, warmer than summer
Then I knew it's (something)
That was bigger than the money and the fame
The fact that so many can change
Keeps (bothering me)
Yo but who am I to judge
It's been a while since I did it for the love
Or (whatever it is)
I gotta pay for it
Sometimes happiness the only thing I pray for
(I can't leave it alone)
The will to ask questions like
How can George bush receive blessings?
But I'm knowin that it's (something)
Or something's that I cannot explain
Forget, forgive the change and the pain
(Gotta hold on me)
I gotta gun to keep me safe
Sometimes I drink and smoke to get away
Because it's (something)
That I know ain't right
Pops forgive me but this can't be life
And it's (botherin me)
Because I wanna do better
But this rain seem to pour forever
So (whatever it is)
I feen for it, think of it, speak on it
Wish for it, dream of it, and Lord
(I can't leave it alone)
No I can't leave it alone
And she said there was (something)
That draws her to me and it's meant to be
And you the only one that ever, ever, ever
(Gotta hold on me) yea
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 bothering 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)
I knew I couldn't turn this house of ours into a home
And I said there's (something)
That I've done to make you leave
Baby girl why you trippin can't you see
That you always (gotta hold on me)
And I don't know what I can say
To make you stay but I know I gotta say
(Something) but now and then I get tired
Of you packin your bags and all this drama is
(Bothering 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 it out while you accusin me you must be cheatin
Cause you (can't leave it alone) why you cryin
See you can't deny it; I always had this feelin it was (something)
Dat God gave me as a gift, the power to make words fit
(I look at the sky), and dream of soaring just as high
But as time goes by it always (something)
That'll knock me off my track
Got to get back cause time is short ay
(Do 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) the will to do better as a man
I can't struggle forever because of (something...)

It's always something (gotta hold on me)
That's gotta hold on me, ha
Real shit for real niggas (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 (whatever it is)
I gotta spit to get it to them, get to they mind
I can't stop cause (I can't leave it alone)
I gotta spit this message
Cause I'm a bout something, ha (something)
