I DON'T NEED YOU (DEMO).wav

(album: Work In Progress - 2019)

Ay, look at that boy, huh
Cooking up joints, like
Run up the score, huh
Like, you already know
Never got help, so
Did it myself, now
Doing so well, huh
I bet you can't tell
That I've been... running
Like this my dance
Running man, running man
Like, this my chance
Huh, I'm out here who here left?
Who gon' last? Ain't much left

I don't need you, no
Reject me, I reject harder
I don't need you, no
Act unbothered, give me that Oscar
If I can't get love, I'ma go get paper (no love)
So do me a favor (what's that?)
Don't do me no favors, ay

I don't need you, no
I don't need you, no
I don't need you, no
I don't need you, no
I don't need you, no no
I don't need you, oh no
I don't need you, no no
I don't need you, no no
I'm fine on my own, ay
Right here on my own, ay
I don't need you no, uh I don't

Yeah, built these walls, can't feel pain
Don't feel love neither, no it's all the same

I don't need you, no
Can't get let down with no hopes up
I don't need you, no
Get back, get back, don't do close up
If I can't get love, I'ma go get paper
So do me a favor (what's that?)

I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you

Why you never said goodbye, I don't need you
Why you try to steal my girl? I don't need you
Why you hit me so hard? I don't need you
Why you never want me round? I don't need you
I hate asking for help, my pride too real
I would probably die starving before I ask for a meal
These walls I built, each brick a disappointment
Never told you how I really felt, this time I can't avoid it
I know I said I don't need you, yeah I know it's all see through
But what else do you tell yourself when that many people leave you?
I threw myself into working, trying to prove that I'm worth it
I've been holding this middle finger up so long, my arm hurting
But now I'm tired of all this trying, say I'm good, say I'm fine
Ain't no time, cut the pride, I just say it
I need you to listen
When I tell you how I really feel, don't dismiss it
And start laughing, or act like I'm overreacting
I need to know I'm not somebody that you just got to put up with
I need to know that I don't suck if I never had no success
I need you to stop judging me for the things I meant to
And if you don't like it then pretend to
I need you to talk to me gentle
I need your reply when I text you
I need the reminder my potential
I need your time for just a little
I need your word, it's instrumental
I need you to stop tryna humble me
I got a tough enough time loving me
I need to trust you won't come and leave and then pull the rug out from under me
I need a place I can talk crazy when everything in my walk hazy
I know I've been a little off lately, but look man it's how God made me
I need a minute, need commitment, I need God, I need a vision
I need y'all, I need a visit, I need more than I will admit
And I always said that I don't need you
Always thought it was true
I don't need nobody, dang, maybe I do
