[Intro:]
|
D-O-N-T, N-E-E-D, L-O-V-E (E-V!)
|
It's EV, yeah, back on my shit
|
c'mon..
|
|
[sample from Boogie Down Productions's "Love's Gonna Getcha]
|
"You know, that's why, man..
|
I be tellin you all the time, man y'know..
|
LOVE, that word 'love' is a very serious thing
|
And if you DON'T watch out...I'll tell you that.."
|
|
Michael Connelly reminded me with Echo Park
|
of days of hoppin on the metro, when they let those spark
|
Back when I collected retro art, and since then
|
many are dearly departed, God bless they heart
|
God bless they hearts, harder living in pain
|
Where the sun and the rain became one in the same
|
I took it as a lesson I was still learnin
|
I'm still with the will of the '84 torch burnin
|
I been through heartbreaks to break-ups to make-ups to broke again
|
Not (Back Again), my soul on the rope again
|
Took the jacket off and saw blood on my sleeves
|
When you wear your heart there, this the puddle it leaves (I don't need love!)
|
It's the rebuttal of thieves
|
and chicks or crooks like you, so what'll it be?
|
She steal your heart, now she runnin the streets
|
Don't need the pain, man, troublin' me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I don't need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
I don't- .. ("I'll tell you that...")
|
I don't need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
...need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
...need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
I don't need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
I don't need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
I don't need love ("I'll tell you that...")
|
...need love
|
|
While Kanye was chasin (Spaceships) all over the nation
|
I was at the gravesite, face on the pavement
|
Left "College Dropout", first flight racin
|
from Scranton, Pennsylvania on a prop plane prayin
|
Heart 'bout to pop out my chest in Pittsburgh
|
Paranoid in first class, heard a voice [whisper] (Real talk)
|
Just touched back in LAX
|
and my phone starts buzzin to a thousand texts
|
Out the gate and runnin like I'm motorless
|
(I Still Love You) explained if you don't know the rest
|
"...I wouldn't be able to spend as much time with my son" - [Jana Taylor, Evidence's mom]
|
I would say that's when love became an issue
|
Anybody treated me good, that's when I diss you
|
A certain chick who, caught the bad end of the stick
|
and through thin and thick I still miss you (I do)
|
I've trashed every girl I've had since (What can I say?)
|
Warm heart cold, mind is absent, imagine (My God)
|
I don't need love anymore, I need pressure
|
Pain, my veins feelin so electric
|
Blue in the skin, choosin my sin
|
'Til the same sins doin' me in, I don't need love
|
|
[sample from Boogie Down Productions's "Love's Gonna Getcha]
|
"You know, that's why, man..
|
I be tellin you all the time, man y'know..
|
LOVE, that word 'love' is a very serious thing
|
And if you DON'T watch out...I'll tell you that.."
|
|
(It's Dilated forever, y'all can keep the rest)
|
|
[Chorus]
