​​​​​​namesake Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Itty-bitty titty committee
The world with me, your girl with me
And I don't even really like pussy
That's the homie
Stony Island, call Poseidon
Cry me a river, you could cry me a metaphor
Megaphone screamin' out
Dream about revolution, air pollution
Same solution, socialism

They ain't really fuckin' with my niggas, though
Off the grid, we just love the community garden
Off the grid, you could be a martian 'round here
Settle down here, we could love love
Travel to the motherland and learn about what was
If thе world don't budge, you ain't eat me out, sweetiе
I wanna smile tonight
I only got one lap around the sun and he goin' down tonight, yeah, yeah
So maybe I'm goin' down too
Yeah, maybe I'm goin' down too

[Chorus]
Yo, I never need no man
I got a little bit of love and a couple of friends
Picture me rollin' up the bud in the south of Sudan
Yo, I never need no, no, no
Yo, I never need no man
I got a little bit of love and a couple of friends
Picture me rollin' up the bud in the south of Sudan
Yo, I never need no, no, no
[Verse 2]
Noname, where's your cane?
We could stand in the rain
Maintain a good life, we could fry plantain
Same day the airstrikes strike down Iran
I ran into the house with a blunt in my hand, let's smoke
I don't wanna see death no more, let's fight
They got the devil hidin' in plain sight
That's you, that's me, the whole world is culpable
Why complacency float the boat the most?
I don't really get it, y'all ain't really with it
All that eat the rich, tax the rich, y'all ain't really 'bout that shit

Bitch, if you want some money, you can say that
You deserve the payback 'cause niggas took everything
Let's go get that and take it to the hood, though
Share it with community, we soldiers in plain clothes
Everybody got they role, don't be an opp
Everybody got they role, I'ma play mine
Like Scooby-Doo in a haunted house
I see the ghost that they talkin' 'bout, I see the signs
Read in between the line at the crime scene
I ain't fuckin' with the NFL or JAY-Z
Propaganda for the military complex

The same gun that shot Lil Terry out west
The same gun that shot Samir in the West Bank

We all think the Super Bowl is the best thing
[Bridge]
Go, Rihanna, go
Watch the fighter jet fly high
War machine gets glamorized
We play the game to pass the time
Go, Beyoncé, go
Watch the fighter jet fly high
War machine gets glamorized
We play the game to pass the time
Go, Kendrick, go
Watch the fighter jet fly high
War machine gets glamorized
We play the game to pass the time

Go, Noname, go
Coachella stage got sanitized
I said I wouldn't perform for them
And somehow I still fell in line


[Chorus]
Fuck, I never need no name
I got a little bit of love and a memory lane
Picture me rollin' up the bud, I don't play them games
Yo, I never need no, no, no
Uh, I never need no name
I got a little bit of love and a memory lane
Picture me rollin' up the bud, I don't play them games
Yo, I never need no, no, no

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
