What I Need Songtext
Uh, for the naysayers
Critics, system raters, whatever
Your magazine columns and all that other bullshit
Trying to break down people careers
Check, yo, yo
What I need is for niggas to stop asking me what I′m doing
Worry about you and yours, correct your own flaws
My design wasn't meant for everybody to judge
′Cause about you and yours, I could care less, dog
See what I need is peace of mind in this matrix
And all I see is a glitch in time that make a nigga wanna flip
Check my scenario, live in stereo
Mysterio supreme magnetic over burial
What I need is for niggas to just listen
Ride with me on this mission at your own discretion
You decide what's real, which gangster with mass appeal
Like Premier Guru, I'm solo not plural
What I need ain′t just hands on or busting my ass to get it
For my own satisfaction to say I did it
Sign of the times, payback is mine
Motherfucker, eye for an eye, beef of any kind
It′s where I'm at in my life
Who I be ain′t your concern
What I need ain't your concern
I stand alone ′cause I'm a man
I′m like Christ carrying the cross to his own demise
Slated for death only to resurrect and rise
What I need is for you not to cry for me
You'll see me again, homie, in my dream, that's what Big L told me
What I need is for this madness to pass me by
I guess this is what it sounds like when doves cry
On the surface, most time, pain is hard to spot
But on the inside, the agony′s tearing you apart
What I need be a necessity, three LP′s consecutively
My destiny was destined to be
It's sort of like a heroin addict who can′t stay clean
All jokes aside, for the mic I fiend
These primates are dumbfounded in my realm
Sort of like an illiterate trying to spell Mississippi
They stuck, they can't fathom when I′m coming at 'em
It′s like a flashback of Large Pro when he was first breaking atoms
It's where I'm at in my life
Who I be ain′t your concern
What I need ain′t your concern
I stand alone 'cause I′m a man
What I need be embedded deeply to come out
'Cause when I analyze things, I′m as quiet as a mouse
In a Jaguar for dolo, that's how I ride solo
Flash through hoods in a blink of an eye like a blurred photo
To be perfectly frank
Don′t give a fuck about rap columns or ratings determining my rank
What I need ain't necessarily a must now
Figure out why they nicknamed my gold by Must
It's on my left arm, tattooed in gray ink
′Til the maggots devour my flesh and I′m extinct
Until then, my theories and beliefs as a thinker
From Iniquity to the present time is to make history
If I lost y'all, rewind this verse, read between the lines
I am cursed to the point I ain′t church
It's been vast periods of time with no change looming
Nowadays, everybody and their mother′s superhuman
It's where I′m at in my life
Who I be ain't your concern
What I need ain't your concern
I stand alone ′cause I′m a man
Critics, system raters, whatever
Your magazine columns and all that other bullshit
Trying to break down people careers
Check, yo, yo
What I need is for niggas to stop asking me what I′m doing
Worry about you and yours, correct your own flaws
My design wasn't meant for everybody to judge
′Cause about you and yours, I could care less, dog
