I Need It

Turn it up, let me hear it

Turn it up, let me hear it, Oh DUMB

I need it up in my life

Every night I get on my knees ask but

Heaven ain't been speaking back (speaking back)

I need it up in my life

This goes out to every ghetto every project who know losing's not an option

I need it up in my life (yeah)

All this money cars and clothes

You know I'm balling out control, on you hoes

They attempt to label me inhumane

I believe in God but not your God

Last nigga got outta pocket on the wrong decor got broke off

What the fuck is up with these A&Rs

Criticizing music they can't make

Poking fun at my struggles 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

Tried 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 four weeks straight

On the block grinding, got sales in 'em

Juvenile detention my case worker said I might be headed for a crash course

No father figure role models up in prison all my jump shots hit the back board

Head-on collision, not watching while I'm steering

No air bag, head hit the dash board

Approaching me and wanna shoot the shit

But pretend as if they're 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 or rap around it

And in a wrap around I rapped about it

Tragic ending for some family members

In heaven sitting wishing I was with them

Instead I'm stuck in this hell on earth

With pretend friends who think of ways to get me

Couple niggas I loaned money

Said they got me and 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 winning

My own blood just turned against me

In disbelief I'm like "not true"

Devastated, got caught off guard

When I seen the switch I'm like "not you"
