All I really needed is a fresh beat
One Mic- Can't afford it ya gon' hear me anyway
All I really needed was my old peeps
OG's some of them, All of them in JC
From a city where we rising from the ashes
9/11 happened, now they move in by the lashes
Yup, talking yuppies, I'm still broke and I'm laughing
In a city trying to be like Hoboken on some bad shit
That's JC livin
Never gon' give in
Downtown, Greenville
Hero, villains
I see the truth
I see the truth, we're placebo fill ins
Duck, duck, goose, then out for the picking
All I've ever wanted was some success
Picket fence house and my lady in a sundress
All I've ever wanted was some confidence
Before I got to polish it, someone come demolish it (someone come demolish it)
All I've ever wanted, needed
Wanted, needed
All I've ever wanted, wanted (All I've ever wanted, wanted)
Abolish it or garnish it whatever they be calling it
Swallowing my own footsteps
Back or forward, androgynous
Blaow-ah, my powers devouring sour
Want it all the time, if I need it I'm a coward cuz my
Two parents too much mothering and fathering
Four walls afforded my creative mind garnering
One story, I'm not Drake but I know my place, the stakes, what it takes to create history
I let myself sleep for a minute
That was too long, reached my limit
I made it in no need for gimmicks
Got me started best believe I'll finish
That's JC livin
Never gon' give in
Downtown, Greenville
Hero, villains
I see the truth
I see the truth, we're placebo fill ins
Duck, duck, goose, then out for the picking
All I've ever wanted was some success
Picket fence house and my lady in a sundress
All I've ever wanted was some confidence
Before I get to polish it, someone come demolish it (Someone come demolish it)
Eenie meenie miney mo
Catching all the sickest flows
Need to cut this line to grow
Cut a head like Corleone
Do I want to
Do I need to
The world may never know or teach you
Make a choice and fill the void
A little boy, his mics the toy, His cloth is loin he's got it all
But nevertheless and always more
To sever the best is what he wants
Using just his tongue and jaw
Forget all the rest and see his flaw
Inside of his head see what's in store
That's it that's it, wants and needs are all this kid thinks
Down it, down it, sex and weed and drowning in drinks
That's it, that's it, needs or wants but see that's the thing
Ignorance is bliss so it's linked, all along it was the same thing
All I ever wanted was a fresh beat
One mic can't afford it, ya gon' hear me
Ya gon hear me anyway
All ever needed was my old peeps
All of em in JC
All I've ever wanted was some success picket fence house
And my lady in a sundress
All I ever needed was some confidence
Before I got to polish it, someone come demolish it
