Yeah, I need it, yeah (ah)
I need it, yeah (ah)
I need it, yeah (ah)
I need it, yeah (ah, I need it)
I need it, yeah (ah, I need it)
I need it, yeah (ah, I need it)
I need it, yeah (ah, I need it)
I need it, yeah (uh, uh, ah)
Come on, baby, now come on, give me the money
Give a damn what they talking, ain't nobody ripping it from me
Never crummy, I prefer the flower, never the gummy
I'm getting high by day, getting high by night
If you talking wild, then go on, get the fuck out my sight
How does it feel to make real music, baby?
You know I got an addiction to making the music, baby
I'm hoping to use it, baby, my mind, I'ma lose it, baby
In the back of the Mercedes, I'm getting zooted, baby
Come on now, come on now, catch me on my YouTube wilding out
More relevant than you ever been, you crying about
Shit that can't be done, hating, it can't be fun
I'm part of the Pantheon
I feel like Dilla when he was doing the drums for "Runnin'" in the pocket
Now I'ma son 'em if they throwing shade, it's above your pay grade
Been killing it, ripping it since I was in the eighth grade
Rhymes and making beats, man, what a beautiful trade, do this every day (yeah)
Everybody that want it don't really want it, okay
Like a bitch that you wanted, but she don't give you no play
Hold up, wait a minute, I'm feeling infinite
Hold up, wait a minute, I'm feeling infinite
The gain, the pain, the search for what's to gain
The picture that I've been tryna paint in the frame
You and me is the furthest thing from one in the same, you fucking lame
I used to be a slave, I was playing the field
Now, I'm just playing the game but really, it's not a game
It's time (I need it, yeah), it's time (I need it, yeah)
Really, it's not a game
It's time for the game to change (I need it, yeah)
Really, it's not a (I need it, yeah)
It's time for (I need it, yeah)
The game to change (I need it, yeah)
Ooh (I need it, yeah)
I left my feelings in the fire
They won't believe me 'less I'm crying
Thought keeping busy might just solve it all
It's time for the game to change
I'm playing different now I'm older
Won't gamble for the thrill, it's over
New life is bringing me a different joy
It's time for the game to change
Ay, Thomas, what up? Let's jump on the neural path
I'm bored as hell and trying to kill some aliens
