All I Need
Natti Lyrics

No bags under my eyes, baggies without the eyes
I don't have dark circles under my eyes, but I have plastic bags without the holes in them.

My chick sitting thick twisting Swishas over her thighs
My girlfriend is curvy and rolling Swisher Sweets over her thighs.

And keep her hand sitting ‘bout waist high
She keeps her hand around her waist.

Give her the eye touch she give me face time
I give her a suggestive look, and she calls or texts me later to talk more.

All I need is to proceed staying black and die
All I need is to keep living as a black man until I die.

Avoiding penguins-ass niggas just actin' fly
I'm avoiding fake people who pretend to be cool and hip.

I need my jeans to fit loose so the hammer ain't tight
I want my pants to fit comfortably so my gun isn't too tight against my leg.

Patiently stacking paper where the cameras ain't bright
I'm quietly and carefully accumulating money where there are no cameras watching me.

I need a way to strip the stripper glitter out of my clothes
I want to remove the shine and glitter from my clothes after being in a strip club.

And keep the twinkle out my eye when ass is outta control
I want to control my excitement when watching a stripper dance so that it doesn't show in my eyes.

And keep money out the sky as she slide down the pole
I don't want to throw money up in the air as a stripper dances on a pole.

Watch knights that kill niggas instead of watching the throne
I'm paying attention to the dangers around me, like violent gang members, rather than trying to be the king.

In an age where bitch made killers follow you home
In this day and age, even weak and cowardly murderers are capable of tracking someone down and killing them.

Make it a pistol issue when the mitts getting thrown
If someone starts a physical fight with me, I'll make it a gun issue by using my weapon.

Need a way to keep my kids safe if ever alone
I want to ensure the safety of my children if they are ever left alone.

Don't keep the peace by watching they tone — skin
We shouldn't maintain peace simply by ignoring or overlooking skin color and racial differences.

In a world full of complicated
We live in a complex world.

Seeing souls getting compensated
I observe people being rewarded for their actions.

With some bullshit cash to flash around
They are flaunting their money, which is not earned in an honest way.

Motherfucker
An exclamation of anger or frustration.

You sold out cheap
You betrayed your values and principles for a cheap price.

In a world where the educated
In a world where people value education and learning.

Learn from the over medicated
People are educated by those who have been over medicated, possibly in a psychiatric setting.

They all telling me
Everyone is giving me advice or feedback.

You are all I need
I only need you in my life.

Don't waste my time
I don't want to lose time for things that aren't important or valuable to me.

With shit that you want
I don't care about the things you want or desire.

I done watched chicks turn to pimps
I have witnessed women becoming pimps.

Pimps turn to John
Pimps become clients or customers of prostitution.

A world baptized with hate turn to Psalms
A world filled with hate and controversy turns to religious texts like Psalms for comfort and guidance.

Reparations checks make Natti turn to Tron
Reparations checks, which are provided for the descendants of slaves, make me feel like I am in a futuristic, sci-fi movie like Tron.

Living for the city with dice shaking my arm
I'm living in the city playing craps with dice in my hand.

Take a nigga's ice to cool down my palm
I'm stealing someone else's jewelry to calm myself down from a hot streak in gambling.

On a real hot streak right now
I'm winning a lot of money right now.

On a real hot street right now
I'm in an area where gambling is going well for me.

Unmarked sharks circling
Dangerous people are around me without any indication of their intentions or affiliations.

All I need's a guy and a jar to put the purple in
All I need is a friend and a container to store illegal drugs.

Hole in the ceiling to stash shit
I need a hiding place for things, possibly drugs or money, and a hole in the ceiling is a good spot.

Used to have a hole in the wall I ain't have shit
I used to have a spot to stash things, but I didn't have anything valuable to put there.

Busted bucket for a whip my chick was a half wit
I had a really old and cheap car, and my girlfriend wasn't very smart.

Couldn't stack a dime talking grip in the past tense
I wasn't able to save money, and now I'm regretting certain things I've done in the past.

Now all I ask is to keep all that black history
All I want is to preserve all the history and culture of black people.

You miss me with that bullshit once keep missing me
If you continue to give me shallow and irrelevant information, don't expect me to stick around.

I hit the set around the time my P.O. quit pissing me
I go to the spot or location around the time my parole officer stops bothering me or checking in on me.

Round the time that y'all started listening
When people started to pay attention to me and appreciate my music or message.
