I Got You

[Verse 1]
It’s Christmas Eve and we in school tryna draw a tree
But I’m so bad and you know that, so you draw for me
We just sat there in the hallways tryna work it out
These problems that bothered me ain’t hurting now
Yeah, I felt so lifted;
The castle walls I built tilted
Given up the fact that I can’t
I’d still gently grab the world and just gift it
‘cause back in the days
Way back when my ways ain’t actually great as you’d think
It just happened to fade
'cause you got me away from the pain I constantly witnessed
This is nothing more than just a song saying, “hope you know…”
Hope you know that you’re my shining star
And from a mile afar I still hold you close
Uh, went from ex-friends in the past
To best friends sitting in the back of the classroom
We used to switch rules as the master-assistant in math
I know you remember that too
But in all honesty
I honestly can’t fathom
The amount of love and respect I have
For everything that you had done
You’re family, you’re “that one”
The only person, actually, that comes
Your head was hurting, my heart was heavy
But you picked me up from these sad slums
And we went home in the darkness
Feeling a little less heartless
I smiled during those cold times
You give me confidence when I’m thoughtless
And I’m stronger now, I know that
I’m just wondering if you know that
I’m blessed to say that you have me
And I’ll best make you happy
You deserve it

[Hook]
If you got a friend that you care about
So much then let me here you shout
I Got You
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Oh…

If you got a friend that you care about
So much then let me here you shout
I Got You
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Oh…

[Verse 2]
It’s past New Years and we back to school
And I’m back from Vegas
My ex-lady gave me bad news
I got stabbed from greatness
And all my friends were like
“You just acting up man”
I just hate it
They call me an attention seeker
But they can’t relate
Yo, can’t a dude express feelings anymore?
Can’t a dude express feelings anymore?
Without a rude-ass being so senseless
You ain’t ballin, sit down warm benches
You ain’t real, fakes smiles like dentures
You ain’t got me, ain’t on your friend list
Drop it though, if this a talent show…
Well, then I’mma show y’all what the event is
Not famous, I don’t wanna be
I’m undoubtably already so proud of me
When I graduate please Cum Laude me
A hater celebrate
I change people who doubted me
Man, I jus can’t manage a fit
But I calm when I got a mic in my hand and I spit
And if you feel me
I wanna see you touch the sky
Throw your hands up in the air and say, “I got you bry”
Just say, “I got you bry”
Just say, “I got you bry”
Just say, “I got you bry”
Just say, “I got you bry”
And if you ever need I, man I got you too
I had a real taste for dying ‘cause I had nothing to lose
So if you know someone who’s stressing
Give the bestest Christmas present:
Show ‘em just how much they mean to you
‘Cause they deserve it

[Hook]
If you got a friend that you care about
So much then let me here you shout
I Got You
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Oh…

If you got a friend that you care about
So much then let me here you shout
I Got You
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Ouu, I got you
Oh…

[Outro: Marilyn Monroe]
Oh, I have to explain to you, I was never used to being happy
So that wasn't something I was ever counting on
I think I counted on the gifts in marriage

I just feel like I’m in the outside of the world
And then suddenly everything opened up
I said, gee what happened? ha!
You know it’s… the world became friendly and opened up to me

Fame and happiness it seems to me
Is certainly temporary and impartial happiness…
For a waif and I don't call myself it often, but I was brought up a waif

Gee, happiness wasn’t anything I took for granted
