Needed Me
Groove Da Praia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mustard on the beat ho!
I was good on my own, that's the way it was
That's the way it was
You was good on the low for a faded fuck
On some faded love
Shit, what the fuck you complaining for?
Feeling jaded huh?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to you

Had some fun on the run though I give it to you
But baby
Don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it
You needed me
Ooh
You needed me
To feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But baby ooh, you needed me
You been rollin' around, shit I'm rollin up
Light and roll it up
Break it down like a pound, shit was never us
Shit was never us
That's the real on the real, are you serious?
How you feel, how you feel?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to ya
Had some fun on the run though, I give it to ya
But baby
Don't get it twisted (don't get it twisted)
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it
You needed me
Ooh (ooh)
You needed me (you needed me)
To feel a little more, and give a little less

Know you hate to confess
But baby ooh, you needed me

The singer is proud to say that they were good on their own before, and they don't need this person in their life. The lyrics talk about the former lover being a faded love and how the singer used to have some fun with them but now doesn't want them anymore because they are just another person that needed them.
