BEKA explains: “I wrote “You Got” after watching Kamala Harris become the first female,
African-American and Asian-American, Vice President in history. I felt so moved that suddenly
a generation of women would count themselves into a possibility they hadn’t realised they
were counting themselves out...
[Verse 1]
Fist clenched as we sat on the park, watching the march
You told me about your pops
And how, he couldn't take responsibility for
The pain that you felt when he left you and your mum
Eyes shut as she's braiding at your hair, tells you it's care
Things aren't always gonna be fair
And how, if you work hard, you can channel that hurt
Into something that might actually help someone
She said
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna love you the way nobody else will
I'm gonna love you so you know
I'm gonna love you the way nobody will
I'm gonna love you so you know
[Chorus]
You got the kinda eyes that can see in the dark
The kinda light that puts hope into hearts
You got the kinda libеration that gets contagious
The kinda enеrgy that is gonna change us
You got the kinda of freedom that you catch on a breeze
The kind of change that you start on your knees
You got the kinda spirit that they’ll write about
The kinda strength that overcomes the doubts
[Verse 2]
Big man that's your new name now
Head in the clouds
You can't come down
Everybody saw you win that fight
But oh your muscles and mind are tired
Head’s down as he says he’s proud
Never had doubts
Knew you wouldn’t follow the crowd
And son you need to know that your beautiful heart
Is something that might actually help
Someone
He said
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna love you the way nobody else will
I'm gonna love you so you know
I'm gonna love you the way nobody will
I'm gonna love you so you know
[Chorus]
You got the kinda eyes that can see in the dark
The kinda light that puts hope into hearts
You got the kinda liberation that gets contagious
The kinda energy that is gonna change us
You got the kinda of freedom that you catch on a breeze
The kind of change that you start on your knees
You got the kinda spirit that they’ll write about
The kinda strength that overcomes the doubts
[Bridge]
You know you got the fire
You know you got the fire
You know you got the fire, the fire
You know you got the fire
You know you got the fire
You know you got the fire, the fire
[Chorus]
You got the kinda eyes that can see in the dark
The kinda light that puts hope into hearts
You got the kinda liberation that gets contagious
The kinda energy that is gonna change us
You got the kinda of freedom that you catch on a breeze
The kind of change that you start on your knees
You got the kinda spirit that they’ll write about
The kinda strength that overcomes the doubts
