i was having a chat with my madre, she was telling me how her job is trying to give her the boot as i was telling her this producer was acting up. She gave me some advice "at the end of the day as long as im there for me, all the rest can be figured out. i dont need you i need me, i dont NEED you i NEED ME."
it stuck
good advice madre, love you
lyrics
word from your madre
verse
“Never take shit from a man that would change you
Before he tried to obtain I made you yah
Uh, so perfectly
Always live your truth, that’s a word from your madre
Though I know that he’s cold that’s your padre yeah”
Uh, are you hurting?
Lack of confidence in the past tense
Facts check in your absence, yeah
Rouge warrior status, ay
Got it all in the bag black magic
Should I give a damn bout the fame way that lames do
Just a way to dismay and enslave you
At the cost of the art that it’s made through
It’s made used
Did you catch me drownin’?
In the waters?
It’s like you saw me
Better than I saw myself
Out came a figure
Made up of colours
Filled up with promise
Found myself hearing you
Chorus
“I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me”
Best thing she ever said
It got all up in my head
On repeat until I’m dead singin’
“I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me”
yeah
Got me feelin’ volatile, and all the while
It’s the volume on the dial going wild singin’
verse
Do you believe that disease comes from dis-ease?
whole soul off kilt something missing, yeah yeah
It’s the world I built though I’m suffering in memory
I be damned by the chains of the enemy, yeah
Did you catch me drownin’?
In the waters?
It’s like you know me
Better than I saw myself
Out came a figure
Filled up with promise
Still unfulfilling
Not I’m not sure what to do
Chorus
“I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me”
Best thing she ever said
It got all up in my head
On repeat until I’m dead singin’
“I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me
I don’t need you
I need me”
yeah
Got me feelin’ volatile, and all the while
It’s the volume on the dial going wild singin’
Singin’
I don’t need you
I don’t need you
