What They Need
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't drink much but my life gets tough
I'ma need me a sip of Bombay (yeah, sip it, sip it)
I've been trying to find my path
But I can't keep track
So I lose my place
No one ever said it would be so hard
When you make it this far
And I made it this far
Oh I keep focusing on all the wrong cards
And I know my flaws
I get so emotional (I know I do)
I might sit right here all night
Praying for a sign
Or I'll just get high
Maybe I might be the sacrifice
Because no one can survive, if I can't supply
I'm always what they need, but I need some for me
And I want so much more (I do)
So what do you think I'm fighting for?
You've done a ton for me, you're the best company
But you move way too slow, and I gotta go go go
Say I'm moving too fast
Yeah I always do that
But I spent all my money
And I wanna make new cash
I just bought myself a new bag
And I got my girl too
A new pair of shoes, a car, rent and some fruit
Doing what I gotta do, every week costs a few racks
I might sit right here all night
Praying for a sign
Or I'll just get high
Maybe I might be the sacrifice
Because no one can survive, if I can't supply
I'm always what they need
But if I can't supply them always what they need
What if I can't?
What if I
What if I can't? What if I just can't?
