Don’t Need You Lyrics

[Intro]
K-K-Kato on the track, bitch

[Verse 1: Hopsin]
You already know I'm going all in
It ain't hard to see this is my calling
Let's just be honest, over like the past two years
I been running shit but I was only jogging
Haters steady dogging, getting information from the blogging
Kill the bullshit, you better chalk it, thinking that I lost it
I done had my mind on the prize
Back when I was sipping water from the faucet (Raw shit)
I'ma fuck around and have to let it loose
I am not the tunnel to be headin' through
I'm on another motherfucking pedestal
I ain't playing with this rap shit
Where he at I'ma split his fucking head in two
Your career has been a lie
You been copping rentals back at enterprise
I ain't never had to go pretend to fly

I could pull up on a bitch inside a fucking Toyota Corolla
And I'm betting you that she gon' fucking get inside
I ain't even gotta make a sentence rhyme
I ain't gon' pretend this ain't a genocide
I ain't gon' pretend my nuts are minimized
I ain't gon' pretend that I ain't drop knowledge on you back
When I was going heavy when the menace eyes
Y'all ain't got a business mind, y'all don't see the vision I paved
If you go against the grain you're getting penalized

So you better pick a side 'fore I have to go and let the missiles fly
You know I'm only in it just to get the prize, tell 'em

[Pre-Chorus: Evans Desir]
I gotta get it and go
Where were you when I was broke?
Say what's a snake to a bird
Oh yeah that's dinner to go
I got no time to be lollygaggin'
I'm on a mission to blow
You niggas prayed it would never happen
I was just hoping you know

[Hook: Jarren Benton]
I don't really need you (I don't, I guess, old pussy ass nigga)
I don't really need you (yeah)
Nigga I don't really need you (I don't, old pussy ass nigga)
I don't really need you (yeah)
I don't really need you

[Verse 2: Jarren Benton]
It's funny how niggas act when you down and out
Ay where the fuck were you dawg when we were grinding out?
Like I ain't the shit oh you just count him out
I'm back for revenge I needed time to bounce
Back on you niggas like a new ball
Middle finger go up to a couple blogs
And a couple fuck boys talking dumb shit
When they log on they mothers laptop get a spiked bat to your jaw
And I don't give a shit if you came directly from God's dick
I hope your pilot have a seizure in the cockpit
Your plane crash, or a killer hold you hostage
Sodomize you with a broom handle or a mop stick
I hope they beat you in a mosh pit
Bash his fuckin' head with a yard stick
Oh this is what you want, you want that dark shit?
A life will leave a nigga with his heart ripped
Just a while ago it was all smiles
A bunch of fake niggas, dog I'm so proud (I'm proud of you man)
I seen you on a magazine, oh wow (congratulations)
Oh you on Warner nigga you go blow now (yeah)
When Hop said nigga fuck Funk Volume
Then you chumps stopped callin'
And a nigga had to get it on his own

And you bitches didn't bother
Had to get it from the bottom
Where the fuck were you bitch nigga?
[Pre-Chorus: Evans Desir]
I gotta get it and go
Where were you when I was broke?
Say what's a snake to a bird
Oh yeah that's dinner to go
I got no time to be lollygaggin'
I'm on a mission to blow
You niggas prayed it would never happen
I was just hoping you know

[Hook: Jarren Benton]
I don't really need you (I don't, I guess, old pussy ass nigga)
I don't really need you (yeah)
Nigga I don't really need you (I don't, old pussy ass nigga)
I don't really need you (yeah)
I don't really need you

[Verse 3: Jarren Benton]
Yah, and these bitches actin' funny too
I know that money rules
The only thing that will comfort you
Never trust again, I'll never get that comfortable
Ain't no friends in this game, they ain't honorable
I juggle chainsaw blades in this carnival
Nigga I'm a carnivore, bone collector connoisseur
Cutting off your mother fuckin' head with a katana whore
[Hook: Jarren Benton]
I don't really need you (I don't, I guess, old pussy ass nigga)
I don't really need you (yeah)
Nigga I don't really need you (I don't, old pussy ass nigga)
I don't really need you (yeah)
I don't really need you

About

Genius Annotation

The song is a diss track that shows the broken relationship between Jarren and label owner, Damian Ritter, after Funk Volume’s been terminated, expressing that’s he’s taking side with Hopsin, the other label owner.

The beef began to escalate when SwizZz (Dame’s brother) responded in “Automatic” to “Ill Mind of Hopsin 8”, but Hopsin knew he was faking because SwizZz once told him that he hated his brother and had a whole song written against Dame which is why Hopsin had to drop “All Your Fault”, talking about that, where he rapped:

Now you lookin' at me like I’m Satan’s spawn
But five years ago you had made the same diss song
Why don’t you put it out?
Show the world you hate your brother too
Don’t be afraid to show the truth

Hopsin also dropped “Witch Doctor”.

Genius Answer

“I’m really excited about this track. It’s been three years since me and Hopsin have collaborated. Ironically it’s also been three years since me and Kato have done a project together. This one is special. It’s easy to hear the chemistry is still there. The song concept came from a humorous conversation that me and Hopsin had regarding how people treat you when they think that you’re no longer relevant in the music industry. In those times you begin to see who your real friends are and the ones who aren’t… fuck em, we don’t you
