Never Needed it


(Verse 1)

For so long I thought I needed their council
Sellin’ myself short feelin’ indecent and doubtful
My parents always told me never speak with a mouthful
If you can’t change them then change the people around you
I never rapped because I needed attention
I need to walk around with a crew full of yes-men
Don’t need henchmen to applaud your acceptance
And Lord knows I don’t need more forced friendships
I don’t need your insecurities or stubborn fears
And I don’t need people who only tell me what I want to hear
Keepin’ it movin’ so these problems won’t be re-occurring
Seekin’ approval cause I thought I needed reassurance
But I’ve been fortunate and blessed with health
And never needed your permission to express myself
Some people’s levels of perception are so low
That they can only show respect to people they don’t know
Others root for you as long as they can come and visit
But don’t want you on the train unless you got an extra ticket
Repeatedly defeated by these clever deviants
So keep it cause it’s easy to see that I Never Needed it

(Verse 2)

So it’s back to where I started hidden deep in my roots
Always been a solo artist, never needed a group
Never needed alcohol, never needed your dope
What good is drug abuse when you just tryna speak from the soul?
I never needed a bong like I needed my Mom
And I never believed in God till I headed the Quran
I never needed your intake or your help
All I ever needed was a little faith in myself
Never doubted and proceeded with a pen and pad
To realize I never needed what I didn’t have
And through the grief I never needed a girlfriend
Even though at times I know it feels like the world ends
And never needed medication for night chills
And never needed pills to experience life’s thrills
I’m done complaining and revolving the trapped door
You gave me everything there’s nothing more I could ask for
Ironically that’s why we celebrate birthdays
To try to remind us of why we’re here in the first place
Cause you can’t bring that load of baggage on the road
So that means that all those old unhealthy habits gotta go
