I Always Thought I Needed You but I Need Myself Lyrics

Almighty Nate

I gave my dawg a couple hundred, told him hold his head
He locked up, so I pray for him before I go to bed
My back was turned when y’all was talkin’, but I heard what y’all said
Got all these tears I done formed, but they ain’t never shed

They said they went through hell and back, when we was livin’ there
Tryna last a day inside my shoes when I got different pairs
I can’t believe this little b^^ch thought she was slick
I got the spits and then I dipped, I had to show her that I didn’t care
I pay attention all the time, you got no choice but to respect it
I can’t let them take my life, that’s why we walkin’ ’round with weapons
I can’t get you off my mind, it’s to the point where I be stressin’
I got played so many times, it was all I expected, nah, nah
N^ggas televised my pain when I needed help
I always thought I needed you, but b^^ch, I need myself
Who am I to believe a b^^ch when I don’t believe myself?
And I refuse to please a b^^ch when I can please myself
I had my back against the ropes, I had to protect myself
The hopes I had were way too high, I used to upset myself
I gave you way too many chances, I had to check myself
How do you expect me to respect you and you don’t respect yourself?
You had no reason to do what you did, but you still did it, n^gga
They ain’t think I’d make it out the hood until I did it, n^gga
This for all them days when I woke up and wished I didn’t, n^gga
And where I’m from, we put in pain before we feel it, n^gga

I gave my dawg a couple hundred, told him hold his head
He locked up, so I pray for him before I go to bed
My back was turned when y’all was talkin’, but I heard what y’all said
I feel no type of way, just take these bullets to the head

I had what you need, I had what you want
You was in these street doing n^ggas wrong
Now you want my meat, singing all my songs
Now you wanna speak, blowing up my phone
I had what you need, I had what you want
You was in these streets doing n^ggas wrong
When you be with your friends, you be singing all my songs
Now you wanna speak, you be blowing up my phone

Couple soldiers locked down
Asking free the guys
Petty shit we overlooked and gotta realize
I still talk to Minie everyday, he got like three to five
I just sip and pour to my heart but I will never cry
Brand new money coming in, I just put that shit aside
Damn I used to think this shit was easy but I still took my time
Now I’m on my grind
Overwhelmed and I’ve been contemplating time
F__k a line, I be skipping shit
This talent is hard to find
Tell ’em I, swear of God that I will never tell them lie
I was dead, n^gga who? what?
F__k it guess I’m blind
How you real? Plus you scary? Plus you guilty of that crime?
I guess that I’m in a different mind
Shit be hard to find
Cause I’m different
Ain’t too many like me
All a sudden b^^ches trynna write me
Now these b^^ches come around trynna cyph, see
I just want the mazi, she hit me up like, “I see”
And I know that she don’t like me
She just want to brag
I caught and countered that
I left that b^^ch on read
Shorty got potential
But she skeet off like a slag
She said I’m her teddy bear
I treat her like I’m Ted
Raf take Gucci cake
Stripping and get back
Outfit go retarded, I get checks like special Ed
Youngins in my city going dumb
You showing slack
I’m just trynna show a b^^chto doing better when you stash
Nooooo

I gave my dawg a couple hundred, told him hold his head
He locked up, so I pray for him before I go to bed
My back was turned when y’all was talkin’, but I heard what y’all said
I feel no type of way, just take these bullets to the head

Take ’em to the head, uh
You don’t make it ’til you’re dead, no
Take ’em to the head, take ’em to the head, mm, oh
