I Got That
100-105 BPM1:31CleanWritten by Lexxi Meshan
The getting-ready song. Mirror, last look, about to walk into a room where people will have opinions. It is under two minutes and shaped for it, arriving with energy and leaving before it outstays the moment. The mood is amused confidence rather than anger: the whole record is her answering nosy questions she never owed an answer to, from who writes her raps to who put her on, and declining every one with the same three words. For the listener who is tired of explaining themselves to people who are not paying them. Built for a pre-going-out rotation, a locker room, and the walk in.
Lyrics
I GOT THAT
People worried what I'm getting
Steady worried bout the places I'm staying or who I'm living with
I GOT THAT
What my life really about
Where I'm spending all my money all up in my bank account
I GOT THAT
Why I'm never smoking trees?
Wondering just what I'm working on what I got up my sleeve
They get to questioning I'm telling them to stop that
Thinking that they know me so I just gotta keep tellin em
I GOT THAT
Why I don't roll with a pack?
How the people talking bout me but I never seem to crack?
I GOT THAT
How many people faking with me?
Who may ride or die, who all the people I'm taking with me?
I GOT THAT
Asking me who writes my raps
Asking me about my business like they got it like that
Hold up
I tell them no disrespect
But you be asking me all these questions like you writing my checks
I GOT THAT
Asking me about a man
Question me about my views, they counting up all my fans
I GOT THAT
Tryna see who put me on
Wanna know just where I'm going checking the places I've gone
I GOT THAT
How many people know my name?
How long do I think I'd be 'fore I'm taking over the game? (Yea)
[HOOK]:
I look at you and all you people the same
Thinking that I'm only grinding just to get to the fame
You need to listen let me tell you something
Came from the bottom and made it all the way up from nothing
They trying me like I won't pop back
They always questioning I just tell em I got that
You need to listen let me tell you something
Came from the bottom and made it all the way up from nothing
They trying me like I won't pop back
They always questioning I just tell em I got that
