Ed O.G - I Got to Have It [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Ed O.G]
I stay hard like an erection
I'm burning, sucker, so wear protection
Now whose next when Ed's flexing?
I'm the bread and you are just a crumb off
Jerking your jimmy but you still can't come off
I'm from Roxbury, the 'Bury, but not the fruit y'all
Don't make me act like where I come from cause it's brutal
Hold my own in a zone that's neutral
Soon to be large, the whole nine yards, but I ain't souped y'all
Suckers be swearing that their staring is gonna scare me
Look but don't touch and if you do be prepared G
To go out, just like your first day off punishment
Da Bulldogs, Roxbury, and Boston is what I represent
The Black United Leaders Living Directly On Grooving Sounds
At first you didn't know us but now it's like, "Yo, put me down"
We didn't get in here so you can get in with us
You wasn't down when we was riding the bus
So put on your Adidas and step off
I got to have it

[Verse 2: Ed O.G]
No need for me to run away, brother, put the gun away
You wanna take my life away as if we were in combat
You can buy some new Adidas but you can't buy my life back
Aiyyo, whassup with that? Why is it like that?
Let's stand together y'all, and fight that in our race
To replace waste with a taste, just in case
You can't face the place that you've been put in
If you was my kid, for what you did you'd have a foot in
Right in your ass, another term is rectum
Kids are having kids, they're not parents so they let them
Do things that shouldn't be done
You're not a father cause you got a son unless you're taking care of him
Crack is more contagious than rabies
Baseheads broads are having basehead babies
Now how that sound, not profound
Black people unite and let's all get down
I got to have it

[Verse 3: Ed O.G]
I'm not like anyone else, and in your shoes I couldn't be in
The E and to the D and to the O oh yes be G'n
Da Bulldogs got pull dawg, inciting we be seeing
I don't wanna stand on a corner, I'm MCing
Call me a goody two-shoes who's in the right shoes, B
I don't have to pump jumps or clock G's
It's my turn to go and I got the right of way
You gotta fight your way to see another brighter day
But that's another subject, you like it or you love it
Ja-ilers, get jealous, no push but I'mma shove it
But regardless, when times are hardest
I cleaned off the dirt, cause they needed a polish
When you're in like food in your stomach, they wanna stick with you
But when you're out like Elvis, they wanna dick you
But hey, that's okay, cause we kept on striving
And even when T lost his car, we kept on driving
You had your chance to advance, but you blew it
Now ask yourself this question, did you like the way I do it?
I got to have it
