Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now
Now see me lose focus as I sing to you loud
And I can't, no, I won't hush
I'll say the words that make you blush
I'm gonna sing this now, now, now, now, now, now, now
See, I'm true, my song is where my heart is
I'm like glue, stick to other artists
I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
So let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free
'Cause Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, man, I won't
[Chorus]
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't, don't, don't
You need me, man, I don't
Man, I don't, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't, don't, don't
You need me, man, I don't, man, I don't
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse now
Don't need another wordsmith to make my tunes sell
So call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing
Name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing
I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool
I will blast and I didn't go to BRIT School
I came fast with the way I act, right
I can't last, if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
And I won't be a product of my genre
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
So never believe the bullshit that fake guys will feed to ya
Always read the story that you hear on Wikipedia
Yeah, and musically I'm demonstrating
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me
A young singer writer like a Gabriella Cilmi
[Chorus]
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't, don't, don't
You need me, man, I don't
Man, I don't, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't, don't, don't
You need me, man, I don't, man, I don't
[Verse 3]
'Cause with the lyrics, I'll be aiming it right
I won't stop until my name's in lights
In stadium heights with Damien Rice
On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights
Because I'm young I know my brothers gonna give me advice
A long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
Never be anything but a singer/songwriter, yeah
Your heart game's over, but now I'm on a new level
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
People think that I'm bound to blow up
I've done around about a thousand shows, but
I haven't got a house, plus I live on a couch
So you can be the lyrics when I'm singing them out
Wow, from day one I've been prepared
With V05 wax for my ginger hair
So now I'm back to the sofa, giving a dose of
What the future holds 'cause it's another day
'Cause I'll keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic
Gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it
And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
To another rapper shoes using new laces
Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for majors
Nationwide tour with Just Jack, soon as I get the bus back
Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache
I hit back when the pen hurts me
I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
I'm still the same as a year ago, but now, more people hear me, though
According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
I'm always doing shows, if I'm not, I'm in the studio
Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio
Melody music maker, reading all the papers
They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator
[Chorus]
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't, don't, don't
You need me, man, I don't
Man, I don't, man, I don't need you
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't, don't, don't
You need me, man, I don't, man, I don't
Man, I don't
[Outro]
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
'Cause you need me, you need me, you need me, man, I don't
'Cause you need me, man, I don't
You need me, man, I don't
You need me, you need me, you need me, man, I don't need you
