|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
