"Gotta Have It" lyrics

Kanye West & Jay-Z Lyrics

"Gotta Have It"

[Kanye West:]
Turn my headphones up, louder, uh-huh, uh-huh

[James Brown:]
What you need, what–what you need
I got what you need, what–what you need (Bam)
What you need, what–what you need
I got what you need

[Kanye West and Jay-Z:]
Hello, hello, hello, hello, white America, assassinate my character
Money matrimony, yeah, they tryna break the marriage up
Who gon' act phony, or who gon' try to embarrass ya?
I'ma need a day off, I think I'll call Ferris up
Bueller had a Muller but I switched it for a Mille
'Cause I'm richer, and prior to this shit, was movin' free base
Had a conference with the DJs (Yeah?), Puerto Rico three days
Poli with the PDs, now they got our shit on replay
Sorry I'm in pajamas but I just got off the PJ
And last party we had, they shut down Prive
Ain't that where the Heat play? (Yeah)
Niggas hate ballers these days (Yeah)
Ain't that like LeBron James?
Ain't that just like D-Wade? Wait

[James Brown:]
What you need, what–what you need
I got what you need, what–what you need (Bam)
What you need, what–what you need
I got what you need (Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam)

[Jay-Z and Kanye West:]
Wussup, wussup, wussup, wussup
Wussup, muh'fucka? Where my money at?
You gon' make me come down to your house where yo' mommy at
Mummy wrap the kids, have 'em cryin' for they mommy back
Dummy that your daddy is, tell 'em I just want my racks
Racks on racks on racks (Racks!)
Maybachs on bachs on bachs on bachs on bachs
Who in that? Oh shit, it's just blacks on blacks on blacks
Hunnid stack–How you get it? Nigga layin' raps on tracks
I wish I could give you this feeling, I'm planking on a million
I'm riding through yo' hood, you can bank I ain't got no ceiling
Made a left on Nostrand Ave., (Right), we in Bed Stuy
Made a right on 79th, I'm coming down South Shore Drive
I remain Chi-town, Brooklyn 'til I die

[James Brown:]
Take 'em on home, take 'em on home
Take 'em on home, take 'em on home
I got what you need, what–what you need
Take 'em on home
What you need, what–what you need
I got what you need, what–what you need
Take 'em on home, take 'em on home
Take 'em on home, take 'em on home
Tryna hurt my name, huh?
