Lil Zay Osama – Know What It Takes Lyrics

Know What It Takes Lyrics by Lil Zay Osama

[Intro]
It’s like, no matter when I’m up, when I’m down, you know?
I just love music, so I gotta do this shit for life, you know what I’m sayin’?
It’s like, I’ll still be doin’ this shit if I wasn’t gettin’ paid for it, you feel me?
I ain’t gon’ stop this shit ’til I get where I need to be and after
God put here for a reason, this my gift (Ayo, Tusk, you goin’ crazy)

[Chorus]
When times get hard, you gotta hold on (You gotta hold on)
No matter who’s there, the show goes on (The show goes on)
I’ve been runnin’ the streets, so I don’t go home (So I don’t go home)
I’ve been grindin’ it out for so long (For so long)
But I ain’t givin’ up ’cause I know I’m here to stay (Know I’m here to stay)
I’ve been blockin’ everythin’ out that get in my way
I know my timе is comin’, I just gotta have faith, uh (I just gotta have faith)
And I know what it takes (Know what it takеs)

[Verse]
I know what it takes, I’m in the studio for days
And I know my girl trippin’, I just text her and explain
Even though they want this rap shit, I just keep givin’ ’em pain
I gotta stick to what I know best, just look how far I done came
Some days I feel I wanna give up
Some days I’m tired, but I still get up (Still get up)
I ain’t never gon’ stop even when I’m millions up (Millions up)
I put my heart up in this music before I kill myself (Kill myself)
This my gift that God gave me (Gave me)
I would’ve died in the streets, but this what saved me (But this what saved me)
Gotta make the sacrifices to win, how can you blame me? (How can you blame me?)
I do this shit for all of us, how can you hate me? (How can you hate me?)

[Chorus]
When times get hard, you gotta hold on (You gotta hold on)
No matter who’s there, the show goes on (The show goes on)
I’ve been runnin’ the streets, so I don’t go home (So I don’t go home)
I’ve been grindin’ it out for so long (For so long)
But I ain’t givin’ up ’cause I know I’m here to stay (Know I’m here to stay)
I’ve been blockin’ everythin’ out that get in my way
I know my time is comin’, I just gotta have faith, uh (I just gotta have faith)
And I know what it takes (Know what it takes)

[Outro]
And I know what it takes
And I know what it takes
And I know what it takes
