No need for Territory
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.
And I can see it in their eyes,
They wanna take me,
To ones side,
And fight me down,
To my knees,
Until I'm begging,
For mercy please,
But they look too much like friends,
So, why must they always pretend,
To be something they're not,
Something they're not.
'Cause I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, yeah.
And these opinions of these hip-hop styles,
Telling about their money, all their women, their cars,
But I won't stand for this tick of life no more,
I can't stand, this tick of life no more.
And they come, to tear you down,
Down to the beach, where you came from,
And I won't stand, this tick of life no more,
I won't stand, this tick of life no more.
'Cause I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, yeah.
No I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, yeah.
And you can see it because it's in their eyes,
Not down below, the way they dispise you,
They can't take down for nothing less, and
They can't take down nothing more,
And I, I'll come, to be that one to,
Stand up, and pull my hand out,
I can't stand for this tick of life no more,
I won't stand for this tick of life no more,
'Cause I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, yeah.
No I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, yeah.
