I Need To

(album: Cold Hands Warm Heart - 2018)

Why don't you sign to a label
I swear, I swear, I swear
You're leaving money on the table
And don't you ever, don't you ever
Don't you ever ever wanna be stable
Yeah you're coming from the bottom to the top
That shit's just a fable
I'm sorry that's a fable, well
They told me that I should just give this shit up
I told them I'm sorry your shit out of luck
Like [?] or savage, you run below average
Your singles now working, now you need a buck
Your label spends money so you don't get paid
You're sour like lemons, I sip lemonade
And I'm heating up so just keep throwing shade
This comfort in settling I never stayed

If what I'm doing is wrong, well
I don't wanna be right
I been dreaming all through the day
I been working all through the night
And no matter what I go through
Yes I'll promise you that I fight
Walking through the darkest days
So it's all okay, fuck what they say

(Doing what) I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to

You should act like the man
If you think you next
Why don't you ever flex on a grand
Yeah say you love your life and your wife
I don't really understand
You ain't moved to the city
You ain't really doing everything you can
No man, well
They told me to make it that I had to go
I have to be trendy and switch up my flow
Pretend to be single with people in mingle
And act like I'm better than fans at my show
Well I will not end up unhappy like you
Just stuck in the city, don't know what to do
You look in the mirror can't say what you see
I do the same thing and all I see is me

If what I'm doing is wrong, well
I don't wanna be right
I been dreaming all through the day
I been working all through the night
And no matter what I go through
Yes I'll promise you that I fight
Walking through the darkest days
So it's all okay, fuck what they say

(Doing what) I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I need to

Hey uh Hendersin, big fan of your stuff
We at the label we love you but
We were thinking that your music a little too happy
It's a little too upbeat
Maybe you should slow it down and
Stop trying to motivate be inspirational
The kids like taking drugs, maybe you could try that
Maybe we could change your hair color
Oh well you don't have any hair but
We can try to make songs viral on YouTube
You like YouTube, don't you?
I know you just got married and you have a kid
Maybe you should hide that
We want you to be the next sex symbol
So what do you think?
