"You Need Me I Don't Need You" @ iTunes Festival 2012
[vk.com/edsheeran]
Now I’m in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd That’s you now, ciao, seems that life is great now See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud And I can’t, no, I won’t hush I’ll say the words that make you blush I’m gonna sing this now
See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is I’m like glue, I stick to other artists I’m not you, now that would be disastrous Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me
‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me
I sing and write my own tune And I write my own verse? Hell Don’t need another word-smith to make my tune sell? Call yourself a singer-writer. You’re just bluffing Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School I came fast with the way I act, right I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe
And I won’t be a product of my genre My mind will always be stronger than my songs are Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia And musically I’m demonstrating When I perform live, feels like I am meditating Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me ‘A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi’
‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
And all I want in this cold world Is to make music and use it not to abuse it and get infected effected with the who's who of music Who did it who's in it who what the hell does it matter chitta chatta Dont matta Whatta yidda yidda yadda dont matta to me All I want is a bit of dignity hear me To battle this industry freely To be me in this CD needy world Can you hear me? Hey So I keep singin that When I first started this rappin shit I felt pressure from haters Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar I made for the stars Kept my grime in the dark Then I payed with remedy kickin rhymes with the melody Henesey shots and all these fools on the block who said you got to be a gangsta now to raise the top Just a normal casual usual everyday type of guy My head in the sky Ed Sheeran urban angel comin ready to die So see the signs plan to decide Open your eyes and take a look and realize a resurrection's arised from and there's a misclears I arise tomb in the skys All alone alone stars Urban angel risin from the ashes Surprisin no haters guiding Now movin steady
You can find me in da club bottle full of bub mummy I got da x an they into takin drugs and they having sex and they makin love come give me a hug things are getting rough You can find me in the club club bottle full a bubbly mummy I got da x and they takin drugs and they havin sex and they makin love come gimme a hug thin are gettin rough
Ahuh ahuh ooooo Ahuh ahuh ooooo … You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don’t need you
