j.a.m.e.s. watts - got to explain lyrics

[verse 1: james watts]

i can’t live and hold the flip so someone gotta tape this
feeling like n0body’s doing it so someone’s got make this
i used to be consumed with it, but now it’s back to basics
“this” being some epic sh-t, “it” being the fakeness
he don’t fret now, about being destined for greatness
instead he tries to write history, in all of his latest
and if that’s that next big thing, “appreciated”
and if not, just as well, i’m back to my makeshift
lab in my living room
back to the pen and the pad, i’mma give it to em’
let the world live it through him
i found that, that i’d rather provide the soundtrack
for real cats doing real things, i been around that
for so long, i’m feeling like, i never knew nothing else
tried everything to fit in, but found nothing helps
a born champion, so why i gotta cuff the belt?
when just being me makes em’ say “that boy is something else…”

[hook: drea]

said i just got to explain it
i could never change it
oh, it’s got its hold on me
said i just got to explain it
still the way i came in
why won’t they let me be?
so i just got to explain it
why would i change this?
love the hold it got on on me
said i just got to explain
came to change the game
y’all gon’ have to let me be…

[verse 2: james watts]

i’m standing at the base of my legacy, my eyes is on the summit
walking through the coldest winter with the fire in my stomach
with plans to plant my flag, through probable risk of plummet
i been playing with potential too long, time to become it
and “it”?, well that’s a legend past the limits of imagination
luxury goods, lavish, a lack of aggravation
a lot of cash, laughing hard, a living celebration
and not seeing the name “james” on job applications
ha….imagine that, yeah that’d be something different
i want the limelight, with just a little shift in pigment
some sixteen bar soliloquies, that’s been imprinted
in your mind and heart forever, that’s the proof i did it
that’s the proof i made it, when they say that james their favorite
straight up out the garden state, i bloom ’til you consume the fragrance
this what i do for free, imagine what’d i do with payment
sk!ll collectors calling my house, i’m overdue to make it…

[verse 3: james watts]

switch!
everybody wanna know about young james, and when he gonna drop, swear to god that i’m coming
know i took a little time but you’re used to every rhyme dudes makin’ little songs but they jawns sayin’ nothing
and my jawns say something, you can feel it in your guts
figured that my lyrical ability, it was a plus
when i do it on stage i watch the ladies go nuts
so why would i stop what i does?, plus
can’t n0body really do it like i can do
the boy is freaking nice i need to write me down a manual
full of “how-to’s” and examples
a guide to the double time rhymes and the samples
and i got samples, yeah i got beats too, crack
all you need is at least two stacks
for the right price i could make you right
for the right-er price i could make you flame like a lighter, like that
“like that?” “come see me”, but it’s back to the topic
can’t explain, but i cannot ever stop it
used to be out for the props like a movie
but the props ain’t pay, so i’m out for the profit
nah, i’m just playing, but i’m just saying
if i rhyme then that means you paying
if you want to see “j” but you ain’t got a “g”
i’mma see you later homeboy, i’mma stay in
so it’s back to the house, headed back to the couch
need a stack or better for the rap in my mouth
if i’m packing your house, but light up in my pocket
then it’s back in the ac’ and i’m backing it out
gotta nike on the gas and my hand on the wheel
throw a deuce to the sky, put the rubber on peel
could really care less how y’all feel
boy i just..
