Need It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ayy, don't mess this up, they can have my money
Come too far to rely on punting
Set me up for a life of honey
Milk and, yeah, hide it in that building
Trust a lot, that'll get us killing
All of the get-rich want my shillings
Trick the cop, he is not our villain
Get to the top, put the rock on ceiling

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't-don't, don't move one time
That's the van, that's the man with the gun
Don't-don't, don't move one time
That's the man that's gon' stop the one
We-we-we rob the bank
If they catch us, they throw us away
We-we-we rob the bank
If they catch us, they throw us away

[Chorus]
I need it in a coffin (What you need?)
I need it in a safe (What you need?)
I need it in a novel (What you need?)
I need it in a lake (What you need?)
I need it in a coffin (What you need?)
I need it in a safe (What you need?)
I need it in a novel (What you need?)
I need it in a lake (What you need?)
[Verse 2]
(What you need?)
Let me break it down
I ain't have money, now I have money
I ain't tryna lose it, know you gotta hide it (Ayy)
Let me break it down
Nah, nah, mami, you won't take it from me
When I had no money, now I got that money (Woah)
Let me break it down
I drive the boat, I fly the plane
I buy the goat, I'm the G.O.A.T. (What's up?)
Let me break it down
We fugitives, we doin' this
Take the money, start movin' it (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't-don't, don't move one time
That's the van, that's the man with the gun
Don't-don't, don't move one time
That's the man that's gon' stop the one
We-we-we rob the bank
If they catch us, they throw us away
We-we-we rob the bank
If they catch us, they throw us away

[Chorus]
I need it in a coffin (What you need?)
I need it in a safe (What you need?)
I need it in a novel (What you need?)
I need it in a lake (What you need?)
I need it in a coffin (What you need?)
I need it in a safe (What you need?)
I need it in a novel (What you need?)
I need it in a lake
[Outro]
I need it in a coffin
I need it in a safe
I need it in a novel
I need it in a lake (What you need?)
I need it in a coffin
I need it in a safe
I need it in a novel
I need it in a lake (What you need?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
