I Need

[Chorus: Chet Faker]

I need another who can take it easy

I want a lover who can kick it till the mood is gone

I need another who can take it easy

I want a lover who can kick it till the mood is gone

I need somebody who knows what's up

[Verse 1: KING SOL]

I think I need somebody else (else)

Someone who’s moving me forward so that I’m not here by myself (self)

I think I need someone believing in me

I’m ready to go, I counted to three, I’m down on my knees, please (please)

Working my way from the bottom to top

Breaking the rules I feel like a fool

They used to tell me that I was a tool

Now that I see where I’m taking my life

Everyone knows that I’m doing it right

Take a step forward I follow the light of these words that I write

I’m saying you cannot blow up overnight no

Something’s been telling me that all my schemin' ain’t solo

Up in here dolo, I see the new competition but I am the one in a polo, oh no

Something is different 'bout me, something is different but somehow it works

I been out living up all of my dreams they down in the dirt, but then why does it hurt?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: KING SOL]

(Sup) Lately when I go to bed somehow I feel that I’m more awake

Something tells me that there’s more at stake

I’m tryna to catch up a quarter late

When something happens I need to confide

Unleash everything that I see that’s inside

I speak to myself but nothing’s alive

I’m losing my drive when I’m alone it’s so hard to survive (vive)

And that’s why it’s me in the gutter

Oh what a bummer

Now you can listen to me in the summer

I hear them saying I sound the other, boy you should mutter

Get my way out of the bunker and now they all calling my number (brrp)

I need someone up in here so that we could talk and get to the top from down under

I got chance

If I be careful and willing and somehow I get more direct

I could become the elect

Honestly isn’t that what y’all expect?

This is a chance, this is a change, now I can see and I’m gonna connect

I been looking at the cause and effect

I mean I been working to cancel neglect, I want the respect

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: KING SOL]

(Hold up) Maybe I just got some issues

I give my attention to miscues

My mama says all of my raps are bout me but it’s hard when I only got this few

Humans who don’t really count as the fakes

Moving too fast and I’m pumping the brakes

Trying to stop it I’m slowing the train but I'm running on all my mistakes

I know that something is wrong with the way that I’m handling being a team with just one

I feel the weight of the world sitting up on my shoulders and trust me it’s more than a ton

I used to think I could do this

But now I know that the way I was thinking is done

Now the only way for me to release all my problems is go out in nature and run

Know that I’m saying that literally

I’m trying to live my life liberally

Sometimes I think that I bleed

When I refuse to concede

But I know that that is the way to succeed

I’m hoping that I find the strength to exceed

Everything that I been yelling about when I’m on the mic now that I know what I need

[Chorus]
