[00:26.56]Composed by:Ed Sheeran/Jermaine Jackson/Corey Gibson/Laura Pergolizzi
[00:39.85]Now I'm in town break it down thinking of making a new sound
[00:42.25]Playing a different show
[00:43.20]Every night in front of a new crowd
[00:44.44]That's new now ciao seems that life is great now
[00:46.91]See me lose focus as I sing to you loud
[00:49.37]And I can't no I won't hush
[00:51.57]I'll say the words that make you blush
[00:54.13]I'm gonna sing this now
[00:58.02]See I'm true my songs are where my heart is
[01:00.27]I'm like glue I stick to other artists
[01:02.52]I'm not you now that would be disastrous
[01:04.59]Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
[01:07.02]See I'm real I do it all it's all me
[01:09.23]I'm not fake don't ever call me lazy
[01:11.47]I won't stay put give me the chance to be free
[01:13.60]Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me
[01:16.21]Cause you need me man I don't need you
[01:18.71]You need me man I don't need you
[01:20.88]You need me man I don't need you
[01:23.23]You need me man I don't need you
[01:25.39]You need me man I don't need you
[01:27.64]You need me man I don't need you
[01:29.89]You need me man I don't need you
[01:32.12]You need me
[01:33.29]I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse hell
[01:36.16]Don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell
[01:38.45]Call yourself a singer-writer you're just bluffing
[01:40.39]Your names on the credits and you didn't write nothing
[01:42.93]I sing fast I know that all my s**t's cool
[01:45.20]I will blast and I didn't go to Brit School
[01:47.38]I came fast with the way I act right
[01:49.65]I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
[01:51.84]And I won't be a product of my genre
[01:53.71]My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
[01:56.13]Never believe the bulls**t that fake guys feed to ya
[01:58.41]Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
[02:01.31]And musically I'm demonstrating
[02:02.81]When I perform live feels like I am meditating
[02:05.17]Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me
[02:07.36]A young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi
[02:09.99]Cause you need me man I don't need you
[02:12.31]You need me man I don't need you
[02:14.59]You need me man I don't need you
[02:16.78]You need me man I don't need you
[02:19.06]You need me man I don't need you
[02:21.28]You need me man I don't need you
[02:23.56]You need me man I don't need you
[02:25.82]You need me
[02:27.24]All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
[02:29.48]Not to abuse it and get affected infected with the who's who of music
[02:32.12]Who did it who is it
[02:32.98]Who's in it or what the hell does it matter
[02:34.47]Chitter chatter don't matter what a yidder yidder yadder
[02:36.74]It don't matter to me
[02:37.77]All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
[02:40.77]To be me in this seedy needy world can you hear me
[02:43.99]Hey so I keep singing that
[02:45.01]When I first started this rapping s**t I felt pressure from haters
[02:47.17]Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
[02:49.70]And made for the stars kept my grind in the dark
[02:51.70]And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody
[02:53.93]Hennesey shots and all these fools on the block
[02:56.04]Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top
[02:58.51]I'm just a normal casual usual everyday type of guy

[06:44.71]You need me man I don't need you
[06:46.94]You need me man I don't need you
[06:49.37]You need me man
[06:52.73]I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
[06:55.34]Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
[06:57.48]Admiring the scene inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe
[06:59.89]Jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
[07:02.07]Although my bloodshot whites and irises they never find any
[07:04.93]Clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
[07:07.19]Although my eyes are heavy they won't be closing soon
[07:09.46]Cause I heard that time waits for nobody I suppose it's true
[07:11.83]We make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
[07:13.89]To see the flashing lights at photo shoots we make our motive moves
[07:16.49]I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
[07:18.72]So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
[07:21.05]Cause real recognise real is what my father says
[07:23.36]And I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
[07:25.92]Overworking no sleep is just another way to die slow
[07:28.37]But I'll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close
[07:30.89]You need me man I don't need you
[07:33.07]You need me man I don't need you
[07:35.46]You need me man
[07:36.66]I got my friend very good friend Random Impulse
[07:38.70]He's gonna come up and he's gonna spit a few bars on the beat
[07:42.73]Everyone give it up for Random Impulse
[07:46.12]Yo
[07:47.95]In this game I am my own d**n man no restriction post or boundaries
[07:50.82]Spouting heat hungry and my circle always round to eat
[07:53.31]Crossing circles counting thousands at a thousand feet
[07:55.62]Counting sheep and he's sound asleep
[07:56.99]Summoned from the deep now I float to sink my boat
[07:59.02]You'll need a thousand fleets
[08:00.28]Walk on any beat and stomp it like a thousand feet
[08:02.37]Talk is cheap so I could treat you to my words for free
[08:04.64]Now that I'm out man I ain't playing like I hurt my knee
[08:06.91]It's common courtesy I left you for a minute
[08:08.70]Now I'm back and packing punches like I'm Popeye popping spinach
[08:11.12]Eating every course lunch I ain't forgotten dinners
[08:13.29]Play guitars as well as bars so you ain't rocking with beginners
[08:15.95]Sorry time's ticking I can't mess with up-and-comers
[08:17.94]National lottery business only winners have my numbers
[08:20.32]Man I'm nothing like you fronters show you how it is
[08:22.48]I can't really do nothing for you 'less you got something to give Ed
[08:25.56]Cause you need me man I don't need you
[08:28.02]You need me man my eyes are red
[08:30.29]You need me man I don't need you
[08:32.54]You need me man my eyes are red
[08:34.94]You need me man I don't need you
[08:37.23]You need me man my eyes are red
[08:39.55]You need me man I don't need you
[08:41.87]You need me
[08:43.33]I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
[08:45.53]Gonna be breaking into other peoples tunes when I chase it
[08:48.06]And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
[08:50.58]Into another rappers shoes using new laces
[08:52.66]Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the papers
[08:55.12]Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the majors
[08:57.45]Nationwide tour with just jack still had to get the bus back
[09:00.22]Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
[09:02.21]I hit back when the pen hurts me
[09:04.58]I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
[09:06.58]I'm still the same as a year ago
