Gotta Know-Lecrae/BenJah

You just gotta know You ever feel like life just coming at ya a million miles an hour You just gotta know you just gotta know Somebody's holding it all together Life is like an elevator a lot of ups and downs People pushing your buttons and getting jerked around I used to lurk around town trying to work around Working so that I could hit the ground with the perfect sound Even perfect sound sounds like work When you spend your time flirting with the crown in the perp I was bound for berzerk with a layover in crazy A lazy Jay-Z hoping rock-a-fellas paid me Or rocking ladies were caught me a Mercedes But that whole dream was in '80's baby Missed that shot like the cop that's crooked TV goes off third eye still looking Mom's still cooking I can always go home Even though I'm five years past grown Here I go again I'm still chasing the wind I can't win When it gets hot it boils down to sin If heaven ain't a gift then I ain't getting in man I can't even find the words for the way I feel So I paint a picture I paint a picture I've been going down this road seen some crazy things So I paint a picture you gots to see it You just gotta know you just gotta know You just gotta know you just gotta know Yeah I sit and hear the guitars play Wonder if they could what would stars say Or Venus and Mars say or say that we want it our way Stars so desperate to shine that they go on living the hard way The intellect to travel to Mars but so blind We worship Venus but she don't even know who we are And she never cared why 'Cause she wasn't there When I was trying to drown my sorrows in a pool of despair I ain't perfect sometimes I feel worthless Worthless than that is the image that I'da purchased Man from the shades to the shirt to the shoes Just another fool trying to cover he's confused that ain't cool Sometimes I hate the man in the mirror 'Cause I know he's a liar and a cheater and a killer People say they love him but they love what he can give 'em But deep inside he knows that there's a reason for him living I can't even find the words for the way I feel So I paint a picture I paint a picture I've been going down this road seen some crazy things So I paint a picture you gots to see it You just gotta know you just gotta know You just gotta know you just gotta know Uh you know I need you like Aqua Day without ya got me so nauseous If I ain't cautious I'm gonna self-inflict my sickness You know it's true you as my witness At how you witness my inconsistent Yes the ovation when I need your assistance And I just gotta know that even though I'm a misfit I'm still worth more than calamity's French kiss Yes I'm loved and I'm pursued And though I can't feel it still I know that it's true Somebody woke me up and yeah I know it was you And yet I keep trying to steer clear of your view 'Cause if you get me I know that you got me But I'm so insecure I can't believe that you want me But then I heard you went on your way to adopt me Well you can have my all if you swear you won't drop me 'Cause I gotta know yeah You just gotta know gotta know gotta know You just gotta know gotta know gotta know that it's real You just gotta know gotta know gotta know that it's real You just gotta know gotta know that it's real You just gotta know gotta know gotta know You just gotta know gotta know gotta know that it's real You just gotta know gotta know gotta know that it's real You just gotta know gotta know that it's real
