I’ve Got to Have It

Lyrics

[Intro: Jermaine Dupri & Monica] Uh-huh, oh (Oh) Uh-huh, oh So So Def (I've got to have it) See this is what it's all about right here Understand me, see my life's real (I've got to have it) I don't know about yours Everything I do is an event Nas, Monica, and me (I've got to have it) When it comes to my honeys in the strip club (oh) Sumpin' on dubs in the middle of the block Like what? Say my name (What?) [Verse 1: Nas & Monica] When you see me with the crispy fade Icing it out, glowing with the lights is out (hmm) Yo, say my name! (Ooh) When you see a Bentley or Ferrari, a Mazuradi It's probably me, say my name (ooh, oh) When you hear this song bump in the club When you're chillin' on the corner with your thugs, say my name I make it hot and take your block Who they wanna be and hate they not, yo, say my name When your girl don't call you when you beep her And you hit it and her thing feel deeper, say my name Pull on her hair, spankin' her rear While I'm in 'em bitches all I wanna hear is you say my name Squeeze my gats beef is done Police come you know the game, don't say my name Dipped out crazy, Timbs chicken and gravy Q.B., Dupri baby [Chorus: JD & Monica] When it comes to the clubs packed, Cristal flowin' (I've got to have it) When it comes to homes, plushed out chrome stuck out in traffic (I've got to have it) When it comes to a neck full of glow And a check full of O's, you know (I've got to have it) When it comes to my honeys in the strip club Sumpin' on dubs in the middle of the block Like what? Say my name! (I've got to have it) [Verse 2: Monica] Gotta have my tied up Iceberg Gucci Rolley Bezzled up, bezzled up Gotta have me a double O With a six in the front And a bump-bump in the truck Gotta have me an escalade My house is laid A man that keeps my bills paid My records play every day What can I say? I've got to have it [Chorus: JD & Monica] When it comes to the clubs packed, Cristal flowin' (I've got to have it) When it comes to homes, plushed out chrome stuck out in traffic (I've got to have it) When it comes to a neck full of glow And a check full of O's, you know (I've got to have it) When it comes to my honeys in the strip club Sumpin' on dubs in the middle of the block Like what? Say my name! (I've got to have it) [Verse 3: Jermaine Dupri] When you see a black do-rag through the tint Of a black Bent going too fast, say my name When you talk about longevity And niggas who know how to keep gettin' that cash, say my name When you're sick of your songs, sittin' on the right And wanna know what the top feel like, say my name If you wanna know what being hot feel like And shuttin' down the spot feel like, say my name JD from the home where the bowls get thrown And the dough get gone real quick like Keep niggas sick like 40 karats and a chain Foolish ain't it? Say my name Everything you did I've done did double If you hate to see flash then your ass is in trouble Scram now and don't look back 'Cause until I die it's like that [Chorus: JD & Monica] When it comes to the clubs packed, Cristal flowin' (I've got to have it) When it comes to homes, plushed out chrome stuck out in traffic (I've got to have it) When it comes to a neck full of glow And a check full of O's, you know (I've got to have it) When it comes to my honeys in the strip club Sumpin' on dubs in the middle of the block Like what? Say my name! (I've got to have it) [Outro: Monica] I've got to have it
