Lyrics

I need a song That I can sing When I'm alone With my smoke, and my drank I need a place Where I could live With a piece of mind I need some time So I could chill Get in my zone I need a song [1st Verse] To help me through my days, and help me with my nights I chant my words like prayers to help me deal with life In front of this mic I control the world I'm living in The stage is my pulpit while I preach to my citizens Don't care 'bout fitting in, just want who listening To know the words I quote are sincerely from deep within Whenever I grab my pen and share this part of me, I only speak the truth, respect my artistry The liquor gets me lifted and the coffee keeps me focused It helps me find a zone away from all the shit thats bogus I'm tryna touch bases that writers often leave alone I'm letting my words fall on these papers when I write these songs I wanna feel as if I'm Marvin back in '74 And when my brother went to war and "what's going on" was a song I wrote I'm tuned in at what I know would make you feel me Go deep inside this music tryna show the world the real me I need a song That I can sing When I'm alone With my smoke, and my drank I need a place Where I could live With a piece of mind I need some time So I could chill Get in my zone I need a song [2nd Verse] When I'm feeling overwhelmed and stressed It's like I could hardly even tell that I'm blessed I've been dealt with the mess so long, pen still in my hand But I feeling like I'm failing a test Tell with the rest of my soul needs ease Clocking these Gs yeah the block is knee deep But my kids need me so my mind needs free So I can still keep giving y'all a piece Donny Hathaway had me find a path away To take my mind away from trouble What a hater got to say What bills be paid, chicks need labels, stables straight played and got played How much who made, made time for the hood Bad, the good, misunderstood But it never crossed my mind, pause my grind, spend a little time with wood Sometimes I wish I could turn my cell and laptop off and ride on a plane until I get dropped off Bucket of Heineken with the top popped off, then I hopped off Don't nobody know I'm there Never heard my music and they really don't care Don't point, take pictures, don't stare Keep weed mixtures in the air, exotic textures everywhere Got me swinging off fixtures like yeah Feeling good like yessir I'm there But that's just a dream, reality is this track's a hot one Three minutes ago I needed a song and now I got one I need a song That I can sing When I'm alone With my smoke, and my drank I need a place Where I could live With a piece of mind I need some time So I could chill Get in my zone I need a song I need a song That I can sing When I'm alone With my smoke, and my drank I need a place Where I could live With a piece of mind I need a bong So I could chill Get in my zone I need a song
