Lyrics

[Intro: Jay Prince] Yeah Nah nah This is the soul If you know, then you know [Chorus: Jay Prince & Estelle, Jay Prince] You gotta give a little something Yeah You gotta give a little something Yeah, I say You gotta give a little something Yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah You gotta give a little something [Verse 1: Jay Prince] Yeah, well, you know Only ever wanting better for my peeps How I step into this scene is how I'm leaving with the team Families close Slave to the vanity, know Ride with me slow Homie we can actually hope For better days to get back off the wall Stragler ropes One step at a time Don't exist when I rhyme Don't resist when I flow See the ocean it goes back and forth What you need Know I give you my heart Any day of the week Give a damn about hating You know I came from the streets You know I came from the soul Know I came from the motherland Why we killing our own? Tell me what do you see? A young brother with dreads More kids in the mess More money, more problems You know I rather be broke If I ever had many, I would invest in my own than progress with the times On the real I'm trying to keep us alive and give something [Chorus: Jay Prince & Estelle, Jay Prince] You gotta give a little something Yeah You gotta give a little something You gotta give a little something Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2: Jay Prince] Yeah, everybody want to race (everybody want to race) Yeah, I've been staring at my legs (staring at my legs) I know I put it on my name, yeah (on my name) I put it on my life, yeah (put it on my life) It's the only way I can survive, yeah (to survive) The only way to live, the only way to die (die) Had to got to Congo just so I can feel alive (feel alive) Tell my baby I'll be back another time (time) [Verse 3: Oddisee] What is there left to give? When we gladly paid for the greatest gift we have today Love was present then it passed away It died free and now the caps a slave If I deserve it in the wild then in the future I'll back away Liberty to let my passion graze Life's a movie where the scenes don't sync up to the caption phrase Just a passive way to let you know that no delay could stop for But didn't need to take time and get some There somebody I'm sure in need of religion Sometimes a hand out is just a listen Remember income don't equal wisdom Ay, yo Sacrifice for others if you can't then you should help I don't never film that's just proof you do for self If you trying to climb a ladder flight the stairs to reach a shelf Remember when you reach it with your fam Engage something [Bridge: Estelle] Feeling alive, it's time, we move Just know in time you'll find a truth You see the light let it shine on you When you feel the pain, keep your faith and fly away [Chorus: Estelle] You gotta give a little something [Outro: Sophia Thakur] I guess reciprocation takes the patience of a Nation But I've waited, pulled my body into places I feel dried up Dried up Cried out I had to figure how to dismount my heart from a chest Let love take its time out Let it recharge and find out a safer way to climb out
