We Don't Need 'Em

(album: Maybe They Were Wrong - 2016)

I was whipping my Chevy
I had 3 pills in my pocket
My partner told me don't pop em
But I was losing my noggin
I call my trunk nosy neighbor
The way it be knocking
It be my meditation
When the world will just not quit talking
I'm not drinking and driving
I'm just sipping and cruizing
If my momma could see me she tell me quit being stupid
Cause see this buzz that I'm getting
Is just wisdom I'm losing
But I need a distraction
Cause all my actions been useless
Man I been trying hard
People telling me I'll be ok but that's just dialogue
If you feel the same as me let me see your lighter, dawg
Let em burn, let em burn
If they wanna switch sides
Let em turn, let em turn

We don't need 'em homie
We don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
We don't need 'em homie
We don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
We don't need em homie
We don't need em homie
We don't need em homie
Nah nah, we don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em

Too many people using each other
Such a waste of beautiful human beings that could be lovers
Instead we're fighters trained to expect the worst from people
It's hard to fight for good so we learn to work with evil
It hurts my cerebral to think about those habits
There is no in-between its either happiness or havoc
Too much of anything is bad for me though
Can only smile so long til' the apathy shows
At least we ain't phony
What's worse being with a snake or being lonely
Honesty takes work, lyin's easy homie
Don't say you feel it, it should be easy to show me
And if not then fuck 'em

We don't need 'em homie
We don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
We don't need 'em homie
We don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
We don't need em homie
We don't need em homie
We don't need em homie
Nah nah, we don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em

Some people be changing with the weather
I'm trying to keep myself together
Ain't got the energy to hold on
So I push it aside and keep it rolling
Some people be changing with the weather
I'm trying to keep myself together
Together

I was whipping my Chevy
I had 3 pills in my pocket
Finally rolled down the window
And I decided to toss 'em
Went through trouble to get 'em
But I'll be just fine without 'em
Yeah I'll be just fine without 'em

We don't need 'em, homie
We don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
We don't need 'em, homie
We don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
We don't need 'em, homie
We don't need em homie
We don't need em homie
Nah nah, we don't need 'em
I'm better off without 'em
Hey I wouldn't want to be 'em
