You Need Me I Don't Need You
Måneskin Lyrics

Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
I have arrived in town with a plan to create a unique sound

Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
Every night, I perform for a new audience, showcasing my talent

That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now
Goodbye to my old audiences, life looks great now

See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
My passion for singing takes over as I sing loud and proud

And I can't, no, I won't hush
I refuse to be quiet or silenced in expressing myself

I'll say the words that make you blush
My lyrics and singing style might make some people feel embarrassed

I'm gonna sing this now, na na now, na na now
I am going to sing my heart out right now

See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
As an artist, My songs are a true reflection of my feelings

I'm like glue, I stick to other artists
I collaborate with other artists but retain my individuality

I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
I am unique and would be disastrous if I try to imitate others

Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
Allow me to express myself and pursue new opportunities

See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
I am authentic and my music and performances are all my own creation

I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
I am not fake and please don't accuse me of being lazy

I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free
I refuse to be confined and need the freedom to express myself artistically

Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, man I won't
Suffolk stifles my creativity, but I won't let it

'Cause you need me, man, I don't
I don't need you but you rely on me for my talent

Yeah, I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verses
As a singer-songwriter, I am responsible for writing and performing my own music

Now don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell
I don't need someone else's writing talent to make my music popular

Call yourself a singer-writer. You're just bluffing
If you call yourself a singer-writer, but don't write your own music, you're just pretending

Name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing
Someone else wrote your music even though your name appears on the credits

I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool
I sing with a fast-paced rhythm and I know my music is great

I will blast and I didn't go to Brit School
I will make a big impact, even though I didn't attend a prestigious music school

I came fast with the way I act, right
I quickly established myself with the way I present myself on stage

I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
I know it would be detrimental to my success if I use drugs

And I won't be a product of my genre
I don't want to be only known for my genre, I want to express myself in new ways

My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
My creativity and mental ability will always be greater than my songs

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
Don't believe the lies that fake people may tell you

Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia, yeah
Instead, read the stories you find on Wikipedia to get reliable information

And musically I'm demonstrating
Through my music, I am demonstrating my talent and passion

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
With the energy and focus I put into my live performances, it feels like I'm in a meditative state

Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me
I have been filmed by an audience member during a performance at The Enterprise club

'A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi
The audience member comparing me to another singer-songwriter Gabriella Cilmi

'Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right
I aim to write lyrics that match my vision and goals

I won't stop till my name's in light
I will keep working until I achieve my goal to become famous

At Stadium Heights with Damien Rice
Aspiring to perform at high-profile venues like Stadium Heights with artist Damien Rice

On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights
After becoming famous, I've attended red carpet events and night parties

Because I'm young and all my brothers gonna give me advice
Since I am young, my older brothers are giving me helpful advice

Long nighter, short height and I'm gone hyper
Despite staying up late and being short, my motivation and energy is high

Never be anything but a singer-songwriter
I will always remain a singer-songwriter even though I may branch out to other genres

The games over but now I'm on a new level
I have achieved success, but I'm ready to move up to a higher level

Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
I can perform without using a loop pedal to record my music

People think that I'm bound to blow up
People believe that I'm destined for great success

I've done around about a thousand shows
I have performed a significant number of shows, around a thousand

But I haven't got a house plus I live on the couch
Despite my success, I don't own a house and still live on a couch

So you can be the lyrics when I'm singing them out (wow)
Instead of owning a home, I make the lyrics my home as I sing them out in performances

From day one, I've been prepared
From the beginning of my career, I was determined and ready

With V05 wax for my ginger hair
I use V05 wax to style my ginger hair for performances

So now I'm back to the sofa giving a dose of what the future holds
Even though I don't have a home, I am still performing and giving glimpses of my future success

'Cause it's another day plus I'll keep my last name
Each new day is an opportunity for me to continue building my brand and reputation

Forever keep the genre pretty basic
I maintain a basic genre to capture a broader audience

Gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it
I plan to remix other artist's music to create new songs

And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
I aim to address controversial topics through my music in a new and refreshing way

Into another rappers shoes using new laces
I adopt a new style and approach to my music while still being authentic to my style

Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for the papers
I am selling CDs from my rucksack with the goal of gaining media attention

Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for majors
My ultimate goal is to secure a major music label deal

Nationwide til' we're just jack, soon as I get the bus back
I plan to perform and promote my music nationwide until I am famous and don't need to travel by bus

Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
Despite being clean cut, I don't have a mustache due to my youth

I hit back when the pen hurts me
I respond appropriately when I receive criticism or negative feedback

I'm still a choir boy in a French church tee
Even though I am a successful artist, I still have my roots and remain humble

I'm still the same as a year ago but more people hear me though
I haven't changed as a person in the past year, but more people are aware of my music

According to the Myspace and Youtube videos
My growing popularity can be seen in the number of views and followers on my social media

I'm always doing shows, if I'm not I'm in the studio
I am a committed artist, either performing or perfecting my craft in the studio

Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio
Despite being broke, I refuse to lose my youthful spirit and energy

Melody music maker, reading all the papers
As a keen follower of industry news, I aspire to create catchy melodies

They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator
Industry insiders predict my success, equating my rise with the speed of an elevator

Man I don't 'Cause you need me, you need me, you need me
I am aware that I am in demand because of my talent

Man I don't need you
However, I don't need any individual to succeed, I am self-sufficient.
