Em                                                              
And now I'm in town break it down thinkin' of makin' a new sound
G                                                           
Playin' a different show every night in front of a new crowd
A                                               
That's you now ciao seems that life is great now
C                                  Em  
See me lose focus as I sing to you loud
                   G   
I can't no I won't hush
                              A    
I say the words that make you blush
                    C   D
I'm gonna sing this now ■
Em                                       G 
See I'm true my songs are where my heart is
         G                            
I'm like glue I stick to other artists
A                                       
I'm not you now that would be disastrous
C                           D                           
Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
Em                                  
See I'm real I do it all it's all me
G   G7                              
I'm not fake don't ever call me lazy
A                                             
I won't stay put give me the chance to be free
F                                        Em
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate ■ 


[Chorus]
                  G               
You need me man I ■ don't need you
                A               
You need me man I don't need you
                C               
You need me man I don't need you
D                       Em      
You need me man I don't need you
                  G             
You need me man I don't need you
                A7              
You need me man I don't need you
                             C         
You need me man I don't need you at all
         D 
You need me


[Verse]
       Em                        G7                       
I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse hell
           G7                                     
Don't need another wordsmith to make my tunes sell
G    G7                                          
Call yourself a singerwriter you're just bluffin'
C                                               Em     
Your name's on the credits and you didn't write nothin'
                                      G   
I sing fast I know that all my shit's cool
       G                                   
I will blast and I didn't go to Brit school
A                                   
I came fast with the way I act right
C                                          
I can't last if I'm smokin' on a crack pipe
G                Em7                
And I won't be a product of my genre
   G         G7                                  
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
A                                                   
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
C                                        Em       
Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia
Em                         
Musically I'm demonstratin'
G              G7                             
When I perform live feels like I am meditatin'
A                                                
Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me
C                                         
Young singer writer like a Gabriella Cilmi
                             Em    
You need me man I don't need ■  you


[Chorus]
                  G             
You need me man I don't need you
                  A7    A       
You need me man I don't need you
                  C             
You need me man I don't need you
D                 Em            
You need me man I don't need you
Em7               G             
You need me man I don't need you
                  A7    A           C  
You need me man I don't need you at all
         D 
You need me


[Verse]
        Em                                                   
And all I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
       G                                                        A7   
Not to abuse it and get affected infected with the who's who of music
                                                       C        
Who did it who is it who's in it or what the hell does it matter
                      D                    Em                              
Chitter chatter don't matter what a yidder yidder yadder don't matter to me
                G                                                  
All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
   A                                            C 
To be me in this seedy needy world can you hear me
   D                  
So I keep singin' that
       Em                                                         
When I first started this rappin' shit I felt pressure from haters
G                                                           
Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
A                                               
And made for the stars kept my grind in the dark
    C                                   D                   
And then appeared with a remedy kickin' rhymes with a melody
Em                                             
Hennesey shots and all these fools on the block
         G                                              
Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top
       A                                        C    D Em                
Just a normal casual usual everyday type of guy with ■ my head in the sky

Thing is smoking weed yes it makes me feel good

                  C

             Em

             A                                            
Where I come from yes we burn it when the sun starts shine

[Verse]
  A       Em                                     G 
I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
                                              A    
Awakin' the shade and shadowed under towering trees
                                                  C      
Admirin' the scene inhalin' fumes of flowers that breathe
                                           C    
Jet lagged eyes are beggin' for an hour to sleep
D        G7                                                
Although my bloodshot whites and irises they never find any
                                        A             
Clock stops at times where the sunshine can blind many
                                         C           
Although my eyes are heavy they won't be closin' soon
                                            Em               
'cause I heard that time waits for nobody I suppose it's true
                                       G7              
We make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
                                                       A           
To see the flashin' lights at photo shoots we make our motive moves
                              C      
I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
                                                      D              
So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
Em                                    G7         
'cause real recognise real is what my father says
                                          D      A   
And I'll be stickin' to this phrase until I pass away
                        C                           
Overworkin' no sleep is just another way to die slow
                                Em                         
But I'll just keep goin' strong and never let my eyes close
              Em            
You need me I don't need you
                G       A       
You need me man I don't need you
A              
You need me man
  C                                            
I got my friend very good friend Random Impulse
Em                                           G               
He's gonna come up and he's gonna spit a few bars on the beat
                    A                 
Everyone give it up for Random Impulse
C     Em                                Em7                 G7        
Yo In this game I am my own damn man no restriction post or boundaries
                                   A7                 
Spoutin' heat hungry and my circle always round to eat
                          A              C            
Crossin' circles countin' thousands at a thousand feet
                              G     
Countin' sheep and he's sound asleep
                  Em                               Em7             G              
Summoned from the deep now I float to sink my boat you'll need one thousand fleets
                           A                        
Walk on any beat and stomp it like one thousand feet
                               C                       
Talk is cheap so I could treat you to my words for free
                             D                   Em     
Now that I'm out man I ain't playin' like I hurt my knee
                            Em              
It's common courtesy I left you for a minute
             G                            A                     
Now I'm back and packin' punches like I'm Popeye poppin' spinach
                                  C                
Eatin' every course lunch I ain't forgotten dinners
                                          D            Em       
Play guitars as well as bars so you ain't rockin' with beginners
                                  G               
Sorry time's tickin' I can't mess with upandcomers
                               G                      
National lottery business only winners have my numbers
    A                                               
Man I'm nothin' like you fronters show you how it is
