I don’t need that drama, I don’t need to give you light
I was taught: don’t give energy to those you don’t like
I don’t need to go major, made it this far without paper
I don’t need that cover either, I don’t need none of your favors
Told my mama “We gon’ make it”, I don’t need your funds
I don’t need to get naked, I just need to have some fun
I don’t need your emo beats, all I want is soul and funk
I don’t need your validation, hell, I already done won
Rapsody has been killing it for years but happily is getting more light since her feature on Kendrick’s To Pimp A Butterfly track “Complexion.” As an introduction for her new listeners Rapsody re-released Beauty and the Beast via Jamla Records with three bonus tracks including “Don’t Need it.” It’s an excellent song about thriving without extraneous things. Toronto singer Merna features and the production is by Young Guru.
