Don’t Need Them

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah-yeah-yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] They say blood don't make you family but loyalty does Lately, I been showin' love to people that don't show love It's like the more you show 'em love, the more they don't give a fuck And the more I stick around, the more I'm seein' what's up They don't really be there for me when I need 'em It's like they say they there but I don't really see them Ayy, but I see right through 'em, I can read them And these voices tellin' me that I don't need them [Verse 1] All the pain and all this sufferin' got me thinkin' about my brothers They done drained out all of the love, got me thinkin' about some other And I pray God forgive me for all these sins 'cause I've been punished The one way to heal this pain from all this rain that I been under And i got people with these high expectations of me But they don't understand everything that was taken from me You don't understand these people used to take it from me I don't understand these people I'm just chasin' a dream, yeah Got a lot of shit on my mind, I've been think on I went deep off in that water, feel like i'm sinkin' I was down bad by myself, nobody gave me nothin' So I sip purple cause I'm better off when I'm dreamin' [Chorus] They say blood don't make you family but loyalty does Lately, I been showin' love to people that don't show love It's like the more you show 'em love, the more they don't give a fuck And the more I stick around, the more I'm seein' what's up But who really there for me when I need 'em? It's like they say they there but I don't really see them Ayy, but I see right through 'em, I can read them And these voices tellin' me that I don't need them [Verse 2] All this trauma that I been through, I'm afraid I seen the devil And my mama say I'm changin' but I'm changin' for the better When you accomplish shit up in the hood, you don't get a medal They don't wanna see you doing good, just laugh and lift yo' head up They'd rather see you locked in shackles and watch all of your dreams shatter Now you mad at the world but that don't even matter 'Cause you sittin' in that cell with no visits or no mail No money or no bail, just dreams that wa failed And I been losin' so many of my niggas, it got me numb now And I been takin' these drugs and prescriptions that help me calm down Don't nobody know the real reason I don't come 'round 'Cause I might cock it back and squeeze it just to hear that gun sound Yeah, it's sad but it's true Lost my brother, told his killer, "I got a casket for you" Ain't nothin' in store for your future but the past tense for you And they gon' keep on killing even though it's bad for the youth [Chorus] They say blood don't make you family but loyalty does Lately, I been showin' love to people that don't show love It's like the more you show 'em love, the more they don't give a fuck And the more I stick around, the more I'm seein' what's up But who really there for me when I need 'em? It's like they say they there but I don't really see them Ayy, but I see right through 'em, I can read them And these voices tellin' me that I don't need them
