You Need Me, I Don't Need You (Live at the Bedford)

[00:11.64] Whoo-ooh, ooh, whoo-ooh, ooh, whoo-ooh, ooh, whoo
[00:19.00] 1, 2, 3, 4
[00:22.51] Whoo-ooh, whoo-ooh, whoo-ooh, whoo
[00:29.69] Whoo-ooh, whoo-ooh, whoo-ooh, whoo
[00:38.62] And now I'm in town, break it down, thinkin' of makin' a new sound
[00:41.82] Playin' a different show every night in front of a new crowd
[00:43.50] That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now
[00:46.43] See me lose focus as I sing to you loud
[00:48.15] I can't, no, I won't hush (whoo, ooh)
[00:50.80] I say the words that make you blush (whoo, ooh)
[00:52.92] I'm gonna sing this now (whoo, ooh)
[00:57.22] (Whoo)
[00:57.65] See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is (whoo)
[00:59.52] I'm like glue I stick to other artists (whoo)
[01:01.76] I'm not you, now that would be disastrous (whoo)
[01:04.20] Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures (whoo)
[01:06.19] See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me (whoo)
[01:08.35] I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy (whoo)
[01:10.68] I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free
[01:13.19] Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate
[01:15.45] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[01:17.85] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[01:19.85] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[01:22.34] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[01:24.54] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[01:26.88] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[01:29.14] You need me, man, I don't need you at all (whoo)
[01:31.41] You need me
[01:32.27] I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse hell
[01:35.42] Don't need another wordsmith to make my tunes sell (whoo)
[01:37.62] Call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffin' (whoo)
[01:39.84] Your name's on the credits and you didn't write nothin' (whoo)
[01:42.36] I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool
[01:44.47] I will blast and I didn't go to Brit school
[01:47.19] I came fast with the way I act right
[01:48.68] I can't last if I'm smokin' on a crack pipe
[01:51.32] And I won't be a product of my genre (whoo)
[01:52.82] My mind will always be stronger than my songs are (whoo)
[01:55.68] Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya (whoo)
[01:57.98] Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia (whoo)
[02:00.30] Musically, I'm demonstratin' (whoo)
[02:02.30] When I perform live, feels like I am meditatin' (whoo)
[02:04.56] Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me
[02:06.83] Young singer writer like a Gabriella Cilmi
[02:09.16] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[02:11.32] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[02:13.65] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[02:15.75] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[02:17.98] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[02:20.17] You need me, man, I don't need you (whoo)
[02:22.46] You need me, man, I don't need you at all (whoo)
[02:24.77] You need me
[02:26.56] And all I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
[02:28.43] Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music
[02:31.31] Who did it, who is it, who's in it or what the hell does it matter?
[02:33.75] Chitter chatter, don't matter what a yidder, yidder, yadder, don't matter to me
[02:36.45] All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
[02:40.19] To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me? (hey)
[02:43.55] So I keep singin' that
[02:44.39] When I first started this rappin' shit, I felt pressure from haters
[02:46.52] Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
[02:48.98] And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark
[02:50.93] And then appeared with a remedy kickin' rhymes with a melody
[02:53.28] Hennesey shots and all these fools on the block
[02:55.65] Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top?
[02:57.23] Just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy with my head in the sky...
[03:02.37] Ready to die
[03:03.67] Ed Sheeran, Alone Star
[03:05.25] Comin' out here freestylin' with the guitar
[03:07.06] 'Cause I've forgotten the lyrics of this bit right here
[03:08.96] So I freestyle off the top of the bit with the...
[03:12.45] You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub
[03:14.16] Mummy I've got the X if you're into takin' drugs
[03:16.22] Into havin' sex, I ain't into makin' love
[03:18.49] Come give me a hug if you're into gettin' rough
[03:20.93] Find me in the club (whoo)
[03:22.15] Mummy I've got the X if you're into takin' drugs (whoo)
[03:24.24] And I havin' sex, I ain't into makin' love (whoo)
[03:26.48] Come give me a hug if you're into gettin' rough (whoo)
[03:29.43] (Ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:31.12] (Ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:32.54] You need me, man, I don't need you (ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:34.30] You need me, man, I don't need you (ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:36.68] You need me, man, I don't need you (ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:38.87] You need me, man, I don't need you (ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:41.32] You need me, man, I don't need you (ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:43.23] 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you (ah-ha-ha-hah, whoo)
[03:45.82] You need me, man
[03:47.01] My eyes are red, I been burnin', I been burnin'
[03:51.19] My eyes are red, I been burnin', I been burnin'
[03:55.71] My eyes are red, I been burnin', I been burnin' on a spliff off your high grade
[04:01.13] My eyes are red, I been burnin', I been burnin', burn
[04:05.47] Now where I come from burnin' weed, it is a habit
[04:07.95] A big fat bag of high grade weed, you know I got to have it
[04:10.12] 'Cause if I don't have it in my pocket, I'm gonna panic
[04:12.32] 'Cause like I said, "Where I come from weed smokin' is a habit"
[04:14.88] Yup, we'll do da burn up the place up in the hood
[04:16.99] One of them things I have inherited like a ghetto man should
[04:18.70] Thing is smoking weed, yes, it makes me feel good
[04:21.44] But a high-grade sensimilla, yes, it makes me feel
[04:23.77] But me is a man, ah, talk about sensimilla is a drug
[04:25.87] And if I start to smoke it, I'ma turn into a thug
[04:28.09] Where I come from that they talkin' could that only get you mugged
[04:30.42] Where I come from burnin' weed, it is a blessin' from above
[04:32.88] Where I come from, yes, we burn it when we listen rub a dove
[04:35.09] Where I come from, yes, we burn after we dash to make a love
[04:37.46] Where I come from, yes, we burn it when the sun starts shine
[04:39.54] I blaze high-grade weed all the time!
[04:42.23] Now my eyes are red
[04:43.54] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:45.17] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[04:47.85] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:50.19] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[04:52.48] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:54.83] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[04:57.26] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:59.00] You need me, man, I don't need you
[05:01.47] Okay
[05:02.68] So this is the breakdown bit where we get a little bit funky
[05:04.91] Ugh, and I forget about the whole week
[05:07.97] You forget about the whole week, the whole weekend
[05:10.00] Just forget about everything
[05:11.75] 'Cause it's Sunday and we're all gonna get drunk after this
[05:13.94] And have a very, very good time, and I'm not stressed anymore
[05:17.05] We're just letting it unwind
[05:18.68] I wanna split the room in, in the middle here
[05:21.37] Who's up for that?
[05:23.14] Not, not, not literally
[05:24.77] Ya don't have to literally divide
[05:25.87] It's all good, all good
[05:27.69] Peace and love, peace and love and harmony
[05:28.93] What was I gonna say?
[05:30.23] This side up there are you with me?
[05:34.18] This side up there are you with me?
[05:36.46] Everyone scream as loud as you can
[05:39.72] Okay, so we found out that everyone's voices work
[05:44.27] This side, I'm not gonna insult you but you are West Ham, okay?
[05:48.22] You're West Ham, yeah?
[05:49.66] You're West Ham Football Club
[05:50.80] Get in the geezer mode, yeah?
[05:52.07] This side, you're Millwall, yeah?
[05:54.03] You two, you two hate each other
[05:56.76] You two are gonna beat each other at whatever you do, no matter what
[06:00.16] So, if I give you somethin' to sing, you have to sing louder than them
[06:03.91] For give you somethin' to sing, you have to sing louder than them
[06:06.49] Are you all up for that? (yeah!)
[06:07.83] Millwall, are you ready? (yeah!)
[06:09.92] West Ham, are you ready? (yeah!)
[06:12.47] Okay, West Ham, you sing this
[06:15.12] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:17.53] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:20.04] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:22.63] Millwall, you sing this
[06:24.09] My eyes are red
[06:25.39] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:27.39] You need me, man, my eyes are red!
[06:29.86] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:31.86] You need me, man (my eyes are red!)
[06:34.43] (You need me, man, I don't need you)
[06:36.74] (You need me, man, my eyes are red!)
[06:39.14] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:41.42] Millwall are winning, I think
[06:42.87] My eyes are red!
[06:44.28] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:45.90] You need me, man, I don't need you (my eyes are red!)
[06:48.74] You need me, man, I...
[06:50.30] 1, 2
[06:52.07] I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
[06:54.66] Awakin' the shade and shadowed under towering trees
[06:56.87] Admirin' the scene, inhalin' fumes of flowers that breathe
[06:59.37] Jet lagged eyes are beggin' for an hour to sleep
[07:01.43] Although my bloodshot whites and irises, they never find any
[07:04.10] Clock stops at times where the sunshine can blind many
[07:06.23] Although my eyes are heavy, they won't be closin' soon
[07:08.90] 'Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it's true
[07:11.12] We make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
[07:13.33] To see the flashin' lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
[07:15.34] I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
[07:17.74] So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
[07:20.21] 'Cause real recognise real is what my father says
[07:22.86] And I'll be stickin' to this phrase until I pass away
[07:25.18] Overworkin', no sleep is just another way to die slow
[07:27.46] But I'll just keep goin' strong and never let my eyes close
[07:30.09] You need me, I don't need you
[07:32.57] You need me, man, I don't need you
[07:34.75] You need me, man
[07:35.98] I got my friend, very good friend, Random Impulse
[07:38.14] He's gonna come up and he's gonna spit a few bars on the beat
[07:41.32] Everyone give it up for Random Impulse!
[07:45.22] Yo!
[07:47.38] In this game, I am my own damn man, no restriction, post or boundaries
[07:49.97] Spoutin' heat, hungry and my circle always round to eat
[07:52.14] Crossin' circles, countin' thousands at a thousand feet
[07:54.56] Countin' sheep and he's sound asleep
[07:56.65] Summoned from the deep, now I float, to sink my boat, you'll need 1000 fleets
[07:58.74] Walk on any beat and stomp it like 1000 feet
[08:01.30] Talk is cheap, so I could treat you to my words for free
[08:03.86] Now that I'm out, man, I ain't playin' like I hurt my knee
[08:06.31] It's common courtesy, I left you for a minute
[08:08.07] Now I'm back and packin' punches like I'm Popeye poppin' spinach
[08:10.33] Eatin' every course... lunch, I ain't forgotten dinners
[08:12.88] Play guitars as well as bars so you ain't rockin' with beginners
[08:15.21] Sorry, time's tickin', I can't mess with up-and-comers
[08:17.44] National lottery business, only winners have my numbers
[08:19.62] Man, I'm nothin' like you fronters, show you how it is
[08:21.61] I can't really do nothin' for you -less you got somethin' to give, Ed!
[08:24.66] 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
[08:26.86] You need me man, my eyes are red
[08:29.05] You need me man, I don't need you
[08:31.51] You need me man, my eyes are red
[08:34.37] And you need me, I don't need you
[08:36.42] You need me man, my eyes are red
[08:38.99] You need me man, I don't need you
[08:41.13] You need me
[08:42.33] I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
[08:45.08] Gonna be breakin' into other peoples tunes when I chase it
[08:47.39] And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
[08:49.70] Step into another rappers shoes usin' new laces
[08:52.21] Sellin' CD's from my rucksack aimin' for the papers
[08:54.42] Sellin' CD's from my rucksack aimin' for the majors
[08:56.72] Nationwide tour with just jack, still had to get the bus back
[08:59.20] Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
[09:01.59] I hit back when the pen hurts me
[09:03.97] I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
[09:06.06] I'm still the same as a year ago
[09:07.44] But more people hear me though accordin' to the MySpace and YouTube videos
[09:10.71] Always doin' shows if I'm not I'm in the studio
[09:13.17] Truly broke, never growin' up call me Ruffio
[09:15.51] Melody music maker, readin' all the papers
[09:17.92] They say I'm up and comin' like I'm fuckin' in an elevator
[09:21.05] Later!
[09:21.94] Thank you
[09:25.21] Thank you so much! See you soon!
[09:25.82]
