Something Got a Hold

[Intro: Big K.R.I.T., (Sample)]

(Something) Yeah, Young Krizzle, 3rd 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

And that's the type of shit that (is bothering me)

'Cause this industry will get you fucked up, ya dig?

So, stay cool, and (whatever it is) you wanna do with your live, nigga

Do it, make sure you can't leave it alone, 'cause I can't

300 Representer, pimpin'

[Verse: Big K.R.I.T., (Sample)]

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 (something)

In this music and in my soul

The thought I might not blow

The 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

Yeah, they keep callin' me back because there's (something)

In my music that makes them 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's (something)

That was bigger than the money and the fame

The fact that 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)

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 there's (something)

Or somethings that I cannot explain

Forget, forgive the change and the pain

(Got a 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 fiend 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

(Got a hold on me), yeah

But you ain't been the same

There was somethin' 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)

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 (got a 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

(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 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)

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 (something)

That will 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) the will to do better as a man

I can't struggle forever because of (something)

[Outro: Big K.R.I.T.]

It's always something, man

It's got a hold on me, heh

Real shit for real niggas

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, I gotta spit this message, 'cause I'm about something, heh

[Outro 2: Sampled]

After years and years of knocking on doors and being turned down, here I am. That's what you call incident, and that's what's also known as sense of discovery, thank God I was the one discovered
