 (Intro)
It's funny right? They say things done change. No more messages in the music. Record sales down. Gas prices up.
No more love in your love. No more love for your love. Change is long overdue.Mary! Something's gotta give! Big Boi!!
(Big Boi)
You can trot around the planet or watch it on the news. Sombodys 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 bitching Abercrombie.uh, Don't get it mixed up me too I have Insomni...a at times but don't be walkin round here blind. Nigga feelin' all around trying to find a righteous path, It's apealin when I rhyme so everytime I hit the mass...es. You know, the common folk. Blue collared day to day workers that squeeze a dollar so they baby can swallow a little not a lota just enough to fill that bottle but it's a million dollars a gallon for some gas 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. From College 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 verse is empty. No food for thought nothing for the brain to digest so I guess it'd be about who can bullshit 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 pilot, take'em higher then a jet. 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.(everyday, everyday) From College 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, yeah)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 is sick and is losing he's endurance, she want to fix him but she 'aint got no insurance. Now we don't even want to talk about the man's life. 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 in hand on his own block.and blacks and whites we're 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 maybe in November I'll be cheering for Obama.
(Mary J.Blige)
They trying to tell us to stay strong,(Yeah) but everyday we losing jobs.(Everyday) From College Park out to Beverly Hills,(OoOoO) 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,(listen to me now) 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 get it now nigga.
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 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 home 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, now we all gotta deal with the lies!
(Mary J. Blige) Chorus:
They trying to tell us to stay strong(yeah), but everyday we losing jobs(everyday).From College Park out to Beverly Hills, Somethings gonna have to give.(have to give) Across the world they live in fear,(oh yeah) but it's the same thing over here.(over here) If you can hear me on Capitol hill,(I know you hear me) somethings gonna have to give.(yeahhh)
