Earl St. Clair
Ain’t Got It Like That
[Intro]
Aww yea
Aww yea
Aww yea
[Verse 1]
One in a million, maybe it's me
The chances of winning are slimmer than three
Moving and shaking and makin' it happen
Producing and singing while people was trappin'
Chasing a dream and living for free
A whole lotta people help the hell out of me
A job ain't the move, I'm just a musician
I followed the path, continued the mission
[Pre-Chorus]
I got soul and a whole lotta songs
I get love even if I'm dead wrong
And I know that I got what I need
Even when I don't got what I want
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day Imma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that (No)
And one day Imma have it like that (Ohh)
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid (Uh)
[Verse 2]
(Come on)
I know what I want, I'm very specific
I need me a check with multiple digits
To buy me a house or maybe a boat
But my granddaddy gave me some knowledge to know
(What he say?)
"If you don't wanna work, yaw
But you want all of the perks, yaw
That ain't really how it work, yaw
You might need to go to church, dog"
[Pre-Chorus]
I got soul and a whole lotta songs
I get love even if I'm dead wrong
And I know that I got what I need
Even when I don't got what I want
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day Imma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that (No)
And one day Imma have it like that (Ohh)
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
[Verse 3: PJ]
Look I've thinking that I'm at the limit
The fact I need money with all my decisions
I want it all and all, I'll admit it
If you never had it, I know that you get it
They say that everything ain't gold, but damn
I mean, I... wanna little of my own
I'm sayin' that I know that (I know that)
They say that pressure makes diamonds
But I just wanna pay my bills on time
[Pre-Chorus: PJ]
I got soul and a whole lot of songs
And I get love even if I'm dead wrong
And I know that I got what I need
Even when I don't got what I want
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day Imma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that (No)
And one day Imma have it like that (Ohh)
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
[Verse 4]
I know I want more than this
Its things left on my checklist
I want, I want an electric car
Like it can be a Tesla or it can be a BMW
I want them shades with my house and clothes
Like, like with a, with a remote
I want the [?], brah
I want a girlfriend that cook
I want, I want a new wardrobe
I want to get the Yeezys boots
But they don't look right 'cause I'm too short
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day Imma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that (No)
And one day Imma have it like that (Oh)
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day Imma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that (No)
And one day Imma have it like that (Oh)
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day Imma finally get paid
[Outro]
Hey, I want a lifetime supply of Jameson
(Man, what?) (Man, bruh)
I want them, umm, I want
I wanna, I wanna have a closet that you can like, live in
Like one of them houses, like 4 or 5 bedrooms
(Ooohhh, them 4, 5 bedrooms 'cus that might look good!)
But this old couch'll do for now
I want to get the eye surgery too, you know
'Cause my eyes, I can't see and I don't like putting contacts in 'em
I'm gonna get eye surgery
I want it all
I want it, baby
