Ab7 Ebm Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound Gb Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd Abm Cb Db That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now, see me lose focus, as I sing to you loud Ebm Gb Abm Cb Db And I can't, no, I won't hush, I’ll say the words that make you blush, I’m gonna sing this now Ebm Gb See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is, I’m like glue, I stick to other artists Abm Cb Db I'm not you, now that would be disastrous, let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures Ebm Gb See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me, I’m not fake, don't ever call me lazy Abm Cb Db I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free, suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me Ebm Gb 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me man Ebm Gb I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me man Ebm Gb I sing and write my own tune, and I write my own verso, don’t need another word-smith to make my tune sell Abm Call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing Cb Db Your name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing Ebm Gb I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool, I will blast and I didn't go to Brit School Abm Cb Db I came fast with the way I act, right, I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe Ebm Gb And I won't be a product of my genre, my mind will always be stronger than my songs are Abm Cb Db Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya, always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia Ebm Gb And musically I'm demonstrating, when I perform live, feels like I am meditating Abm Cb Db Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me, ’A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi' Ebm Gb 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me man Ebm Gb I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me Ebm Gb 'Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right, I won't stop till my name's in light Abm At Stadium Heights with Damien Rice, on red carpets, now I'm on arabian nights Cb Db Because I'm young and all my brothers gonna give me advice Ebm Gb Long nighter, short height and I'm gone hyper, never be anything but a singer-songwriter Abm Cb Db The games over but now I'm on a new level, watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal Ebm Gb People think that I'm bound to blow up, I’ve done around about a thousand shows Abm Cb Db But I haven't got a house plus I live on the couch, so you can be the lyrics when I'm singing them out wow Ebm Gb From day one, I've been prepared, with V05 wax for my ginger hair, so now I'm Abm Cb Db back to the sofa giving a dose of what the future holds, ’cause it's another day plus I'll keep my Ebm Gb last name forever keep the genre pretty basic, gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it Abm Cb Db And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift, into another rappers shoes using new laces Ebm Gb Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for the papers, selling cds from my rucksack aiming for majors Abm Cb Db Nationwide til' we're just jack, soon as I get the bus back, clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache Ebm Gb I hit back when the pen hurts me, I’m still a choir boy in a French church tee Abm I'm still the same as a year ago, but more people hear me though Cb Db According to the myspace and youtube videos Ebm Gb I'm always doing shows, if I'm not I'm in the studio, truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio Abm Cb Db Melody music maker, reading all the papers, they say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator Ebm Gb 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me man Ebm Gb I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me Ebm Gb I still got a rucksack with the old clothes, I rap with cold flows, I'm back with the most jokes Abm In fact you don’t know, on tracks I throw blows to make my punch lines relevant Cb Db If you can't keep up you'll get none, you're celibate Ebm Gb My flows developing, skin lacks the melanin, give me shot of adrenaline and I get it in Abm Cb Db I do it for the hell of it, ever since I hit the mainstream with The A Team I seem to sell a bit Ebm Gb I took what held me back with the women and then I packaged the image, put in some content and Abm I then I sold it back as a gimmick, the fact is this: I'll end up dating actresses Cb Db Wake up on dirty mattresses, I think I need to practice this Ebm Gb But I make shit happen, call me a laxative, world's on my shoulders, I don't even know what Atlas is Abm Hard bars sharp like cactus is Cb Db I'm back to rap and back to back, cause I've been practicing, I'm back to sing this Ebm Gb 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me man Ebm Gb I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you, you need me man Abm Cb Db Db Ebm I don't need you, you need me man, I don't need you at all, you need me man I don’t need you
