Lyrics
I Need
By: Meriah and Magic
you want me, you feel me, you need me, you got me
i want you, i feel you, i need you, i got you
the streets and the heat seem to melt my motivation
starving me of my daily needed mind gasem
where my emotions burst forth and i
bare my soul self to pad and pen where i purge my mind of self and sin
and without my verbal release or physical climax i am bottled and bound
lost but not found within my own head that is starved of the sound
of the truth and the beat that make the heat luscious and round
it's easy to be weary and lacking in faith
with no promise of future satiation
just all this present anticipation
of worldly fulfillment that i may remain without
i need some relief from my worry and doubt
strong in my own right but want tenderness still
need you to treat me right, hold me tight, day and night
a do right woman needs a do right man
i need a brothas touch a gentle hand
a little tender lovin in a rough ass world
i think that all i need is just to be your girl
she was young and without fret
soon to find out what she didn't know yet
ill gotten gains make for ill and rotten pride
so eager to bling cause she is lacking inside
used to lowest common denominator monotony
completely blind to the beauty of monogamy
in the ballers for they dollars, in the players for they ride
being passed around till she's cast aside
settles for pain just cause she calls that there attention
oh, i forgot to mention, she's a couple baby's mama
and she passes on the drama
had more sour than sweet
though she's had some sweet meat
all her men lack flavor, just street, fist and heat
in need of contrast to her present and her past
searching for love that is real and will last
needs to be treated right, kept light, held tight, beyond a night
chorus
a ruckus raunchy ruffian
in pursuit of pelf and props
plenty ventures no crops
no love to harvest and hold
when the winter roll around and the crib is cold
a hard hittin heifer that just needs to be handled
controlled a little and softened by the glow of a candle
strait up, bold faced, confidence, a confidant, a concubine (a courtesan)
wore out by time, or heartbreak, or crime
all we's in need of a soul that admires mine
need you sometime to remind me that i'm fine
grown to attached to the joy pride is costin
so i'll say it, i'll spit it, i'll sing it, but i'll get it
retributions for suppression
compensation through possession
and the juice that you feed me
solace in the though that you also need me
need you to treat me right, keep me light, hold me tight, every night
i need to be touched i need to be clutched
i need to be restrained i need to be contained
i need to be understood i need to know you would
i need to be right i need to be wrong
i need to be free i need to sing my song
i need to be schooled i need to be ruled
i need to be held i need to be compelled
i need to be missed i need to be kissed
chorus
