[Hook: Merna]

Fuck what them say, I, I don't need it

Them wanna build you today just to tear you down

And don't let them preach, and I don't believe it

See there's no weight to they words, they can't wear me down

No, I don't need it

No, I don't need it, oh

No, I don't need it

No, I don't need it, oh

No, I don't need it


[Verse 1: Rapsody]

I woke up satisfied

I'll never let your negativity kill my vibe

I know everybody's dreams don't survive

That's the difference between me and them in this life

Everybody talk a lot

I remember not to follow what they talk about

Was told it starts with me

I know I'm the illest out, sheep gon' be sheep

So I know you'll come around in time

They always do, they don't ever let you down

Talkin' about everything you need except the crown

Your gift and your passion, to them don't ever count

'Til your name in lights and money overflowing in accounts

All you bitches look like clowns


[Hook: Merna]

Fuck what them say, I, I don't need it

Them wanna build you today just to tear you down

And don't let them preach, and I don't believe it

See there's no weight to they words, they can't wear me down

No, I don't need it

No, I don't need it, oh

No, I don't need it

No, I don't need it, oh

No, I don't need it


[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]

Coulda did it, all on my lonely, didn't need no homies

Just me only and this mic recording

The beat get the beats when the beast in hungry

Thought I'd be livin' in the streets like my teachers told me

As if she should know me, Miss Sissy wanna be so nosey

It's a feelin' in the air, I know you smell it

Teen spirit, Nirvana we gettin' hit with the drama

We can't hear it so don't preach it to me

They don't wanna see you ball they wanna see you fallin'

When they get too far they treat you like Kobe

As if he ain't scorin' but it's like he got a hex that's stuck up on him

So everybody in this dance won't applaud him, don't respect his glory

They fill us up with doubts like "he can't beat Jordan"

That's when he turned around and gave his best performance

He coulda used his mouth but put his best feet forward


[Bridge: Merna]

It's here in your own star

Once you wake up and realize who you are

'Til we know

We don't need it

No, 
I don't need it, oh

I don't need it


[Verse 3: Rapsody]

Yo let me apologise for the other types

That make you feel like you could ever steal my light

Joy always come in the morning, no matter what the night do

Might not be today, but one day they gon' understand you

I stay blackin' out on these records

No question by now you all should know my complexion

Many seats you can have me to usher, I got confessions

Most of them shits ain't pleasure to you

Why y'all seem so hesitant to fuck with me?

Is it pride due to my estrogen? Yea luckily

Air your shit out like smokin' shrubbery, that's a Black Friday

That's a line crazier than Black Friday

Got it mixed up, better call Ali, I'mma catch some bodies

(Fuck what them say) I'mma catch some bodies

One too many snakes in the garden

I question who they guardin' like field threw a guard in

In the Garden, J Madison, brief was the president

Offered them no pardons, so it's nada

So we pray for our brothers and our sisters and our fathers

Lookin' at me crazy like Drake did Madonna

Uh, kiss of death, they can't fuck with me mama


[Hook: Merna]

I don't need it

No, 
I don't need it, oh

I don't need it, oh

No, 
I don't need it, oh

I don't need it, oh

No, 
I don't need it, oh

I don't need it
