Sumthin’s gotta give
September 1st, 2008 -- Posted in Barack Obama | No Comments »(Intro)
It’s funny right? They say things that change. No more messages in the music. Record sales down. Gas prices up.
No more love from your love. No more love for your love. Change is overdue. Something’s gotta give! Big Boi!!

You can trot around the planet or see it on the news. There’s people getting shot the weather man’s looking confused, he’s reporting to a nation full of zombies, strung out on starbucks and stitched up and pitching Abercrombie. Don’t get it mixed up me too I get Insomni…a at times but don’t be walkin round here blind. Feelin’ all the rhymn trying to find a righteous path, It’s a ??? when I rhymn so everytime I hit the mass…es. You know, the common folk. Blue collared day to day workers that squeeze a dollar so they can swallow a little not a lota just enough to fill that bottle but it’s 2 million dollars a gallon just to get to work tomorrow that’s if you gotta get it, you
can’t swim in carpool. You Rob Peter to Pay Paul to make due make you wanna write a note and take a pistol to that bank too and pass it to the teller, but you know better.
(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:
They trying to tell us to stay strong, but everyday we losing jobs. Now it’s park out to Beverly Hills, Somethings gonna have to give. Across the world they live in fear, but it’s the same thing over here. If you can hear me on Capitol hill, somethings gonna have to give.
(Big Boi)
The great debators debate about who’s the greatest MC, subject matter don’t matter because the worst is empty. No Reafer thought no brain to digest so I guess it’d be a Bat. on who can Jive talk the best, but I give them light on like the traffic I direct, inspiring their life like they was actors on my set. As if I was a politic, I’m higher than a 10. I’d be a liar if I wasn’t sick and tired of this mess.
(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:
They trying to tell us to stay strong, but everyday we losing jobs. Now it’s park out to Beverly Hills, Somethings gonna have to give. (Give it up y’all) Across the world they live in fear, but it’s the same thing over here.(Over here)If you can hear me on Capitol hill, somethings gonna have to give. (Ohh, Yeah)
(Mary J.Blige)
Single mother in a struggle and it’s no fun. But you don’t really understand until you are one. A child’s hide and seek game is losing it’s endurance, she want to fix it but she ‘aint got no insurance. Now we don’t even want to talk about the man’s plight. Out on parol with the promise that he’ll do right. But a felon has no chance for a new start. So it’s back to doing hand to hand on his own plight. That night went all the same, and I know you feel my pain. And the only hope I have to help me deal with the Drama, is that baby in November I’ll be cheering for Obama.

They trying to tell us to stay strong,(Yeah) but everyday we losing jobs.(Everyday) Now it’s park out to Beverly Hills, Somethings gonna have to give. (Give it up Give it up) Across the world they live in fear, but it’s the same thing over here. (Over Here)If you can hear me on Capitol hill, somethings gonna have to give. (Give it up yall)
(Big Boi)
The world is too big.
Free your mind or be stuck like porcupine left behind that’s the bottom line gotta find the grind cause the time won’t be coming back around ???.
The world is too big.
Step on the stars while you’re reaching for the sun but never burn a bridge, each one, teach one, if you lend a helping hand, you may never be one
The world, the world is too big.
(Mary J. Blige)
And I heard him say that every man woman and child was gonna be okay. I heard him say that they would bring our soldiers back in one piece today.
The world is too big.
But it’s not that way. They’ve been selling us a dream telling us we on the same team, not we all gotta deal with the lies!
(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:

Just hours away from the Democratic Nomination. Barack Obama’s closing in on victory. Show your support and sport Mr. Obama’s smiling face on your ears. This is a new take on a familiar design a mash up Obama’s face and his campaign logo. Mr Obama speaks of change we can believe in : "We don’t need some one who plays the game better. We need somebody to put an end to the game playing :)"
