I got the thing that gonna like
Don’t act like you’re putting up a fight
You know you wanna be here by my side
I—I need you here, right here come inside

Glad you never met the old me
The way too fucking bold me
The one that would walk up to you, tell you his side of the truth
Expect your acceptance without giving proof, what a lame goose
But then one day—I looked at the noose
& I tell you, I swear what I saw was the truth
I see it sequential, this life existential
I find it releasing no stress on my mental
Accepting of nothing, but I don’t mean nothing
I think what I mean is the absence of all things
I see this whole world as bundles of small things
Who get with a girl & then they make offspring
You work nine to five, just to be sure you’re alive
When your day comes, how will you know it arrived?
You didn’t found God—He found you
I think that’s cool, I think that’s cool, I think that’s cruel

I didn’t grow up with god—Yeah, I said it
Stories in His book real odd—Yeah, I read it;
Yeah, I read it—I couldn’t put it down
Jesus ain’t king—but they made him a paper crown, uh
& I’m just a man with a maple frown, uh
I’m gonna make a statement now
Religion ain’t no safe haven—wow
Better find your way all on your own,
Gon’ need a family, gon’ need a home
People often ask me—they say, where you going?
To them I say somewhere, somewhere
Man, I’m headed off somewhere, somewhere
I don’t need God in my life; I just need support in my life;
I just need love in my life; I just need friends
that gonna care for me, always be there for me, hold down a stare for me, help me meet ends
Jive with my flow, not call me bro, be accepting & open to all
This gin is so peppery, salt coriander me, Help me to let it be
Help me feel feathery, help me to better me, Help me with brevity
I don’t need prayer in my life, I just need air in my life
I just need water, gimme shelter, I just need light
& some of that, some of that herb, hope that it’s purp, right after work
I’m finna go get it, it’s what I deserve, get what I’ve earned,
have what is rightfully mine let it burn, have what is rightfully mine let it burn
have what is rightfully mine let it burn, learn everything I could possibly learn
I don’t need faith in my life
I just need a good place in my life
That I can go to when I’m too low to
Ask for you to roll through, ‘cause I need to hold you
I just need you by my side, I just need you by my side
I just need you by my side, I just need you
By you I mean family, you I mean friend
I didn’t grow up with God—oh I said.
