G.OD n*gga
It’s ya boy Kage man
Ya born alone, ya die alone
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
Man these n*ggas so fake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They’d probably laugh at your wake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They even talk to the jakes
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need
Nobody
Man these n*ggas so fake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They’d probably laugh at your wake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They even talk to the jakes
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need
Nobody
Came in this world all alone
And I’m leaving in the same way
These n*ggas dap you then shit on you in the same day
Different stage, but the same play
All I see is black and white
You can’t see cuz the shades grey
Why hate a n*gga that be showing you love
I honestly don’t give a f*ck if you be showing me love
I try bringing you up
You try bringing me down
You hating on a n*gga cuz a n*gga renown
My ideology is profiteering
Heart cold, no tearing
N*gga best prepare for the square in
If on G.O.D name he swearing
Then I swear my .44 ain’t caring
Guns are so overbearing
Bury the n*gga before you could even think about the burden
F*ck a burden
Hurry up and put the dirt in
I shoot like Irving, you heard em, word then
All you fake f*cks make me sick
Like I just smelt a pamper full of baby sh*t
I wanna clap you n*ggas on some crazy sh*t
Got ya shawty in the tele while you babysit
All these hoes gon’ make me rich
You just make me cheese, you don’t make me b*tch
You wanna get hype, oh you crazy b*tch
Talk slick while my gun is off safety b*tch
Everything I got yea I got it on my own
Even as a youngin man, I got it like I’m grown
If I ain’t have a job, then I got it on my phone
Stand alone, no clone
Boy Kage on the throne
See drones, ima soon you round like a cyclone
Shawty got a nice neck
She giving the nice dome
Nice? No this is how I get when the mics on
I don’t care if I’m right wrong
Ima write on
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
Man these n*ggas so fake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They’d probably laugh at your wake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They even talk to the jakes
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need
Nobody
Man these n*ggas so fake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They’d probably laugh at your wake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They even talk to the jakes
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need
Nobody
I do not need your opinion
I pitchin your 2 cents in chicken
Went crazy like Gucci
Cuz y’all isn’t yo in the kitchen when I’m in it whippin
Don’t need you to tell me you different
Cuz these 2 chains, you ain’t help me go and get em
I do not need you to play me
Just play all my music
And play your position
No I do not need nobody word up
Maybe some brief banking
Like talking turtles
Word round the town
Pass bits around
We just runnin circles like muhf*ckin gerbils
I’m runnin on purple I rolled in the lobby
With a bad white hottie
But she ain’t nobody
Moving around like she fighting Ali
She don’t need no bodies
But she’ll catch em probably
Diamon that dude she gon ride like ducatis
Diamon that dude, she be calling me papi
Diamon that nigga, ole girl best friends
I want her don’t need her
But I could pretend
Like baby you a perfect 10
I keep it 100 and they just percents
Baby them purses is next
When I’m covered in paper just like a present
East Coast, I represent
Put in that work, like a weapon in set
You dancing with devils and missing a step
You feel like a god if you reppin the set
I don’t need nobody
I do it like Nike
I just need a check, and your respect
The flow is so hot that they starting to sweat and tan
So other than all of the fans
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
Man these n*ggas so fake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They’d probably laugh at your wake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They even talk to the jakes
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need
Nobody
Man these n*ggas so fake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They’d probably laugh at your wake
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody
They even talk to the jakes
I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody




I don’t need nobody, I don’t need
Nobody
