|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
