Lyrics

NEED!

[Intro]

Lil' sloppy

[Verse]

Uh, married to the pain

And glass coffins gettin' buried in the fame

Birds of a feather ain't too Larry in the game

Stay the same, only thing scarier than change

Top Boy ting, I'll turn to Jamie if they blam me

'Cause I had to kill 'em, know I did it for the family

Rather have a Rolls-Royce soul in a Camry

Than let 'em make me to another product in the pantry

What's a Bambi to a bambino? (Bambino)

Childish but deadly, I'm a gambino (Gambino)

Ooh, chico, that man frío (Woo)

Ay, dios mío (Woo), if I know, we know

So if I die of natural causes, don't believe 'em

Ain't nothin' natural 'bout the causes they believе in

I put in the work 'cause a thought's not an achievеment

I could paint the pic, but to see it, you gotta breathe it

You gotta need it

[Chorus]

"You got to need it to breathe," my grandma said (My grandma said)

You got to leave it to me, get out my way (Get out my way)

We just be needin' to need, that's not my race

All I really need is the love

All I really need is the, all I really need is the

Love one time for the one time

Matter fact, all time 'cause we all-time

Caste treatin' principals like a part-time

I ain't gon' listen to you pick apart mine

I'm a made man, I should know 'cause I built me

Made man, I'ma grow 'til they kill me

Made man, fuck what you make, man

I could rest 'cause my soul not guilty, you feel me?

[Interlude: Damian Lillard]

You know, I wasn't a, a highly touted middle school player, high school player, or college player

You know, I had to do my work behind the scenes

And I, I didn't know that I was gon' ever get the credit for it or ever get the results for it

I don't forget those steps that it took for me to get here

Which is the work, the discipline, the humility, the compassion

Why would I become thirty and see the results that I got and, and go away from it?

[Chorus]

"You got to need it to breathe," my grandma said (My grandma said)

You got to leave it to me, get out my way (Get out my way)

We just be needin' to need, that's not my race

All I really need is the love

All I really need is the, all I really need is the

Love one time for the one time

Matter fact, all time 'cause we all-time

Caste treatin' principals like a part-time

I ain't gon' listen to you pick apart mine

I'm a made man, I should know 'cause I built me

Made man, I'ma grow 'til they kill me

Made man, fuck what you make, man

I could rest 'cause my soul not guilty, you feel me?
