The Need
Tech N9ne (ft. Krizz Kaliko) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes there's a man
Sometimes there's a woman
And sometimes
Damn I forgot what I was sayin'
Let's, let's just have sex

We all need sex!
And it's gonna continue
We all need sex!
It's just the animal in you

Just rolling over out of bed
Had to get my head around last night
Can't remember anything I did
Damn, it must've been one of them nights
Had a Becky and a bottle of whiskey
And the sun went down
Think I remember she kissed me
Took a trip downtown
Wutchu say?

We all need sex!
But you don't love it like I do
We all need sex!
And somebody they lie to
We all need sex!
Alright and it's gonna continue
We all need sex!
It's just the animal in you

Just getting out of my car
I couldn't believe it's dark
Sometime I gotta put it in park
When it gets dark
I need a pistol and a bottle of whiskey
And the sun went down
Think I remember she kissed me
Took a trip downtown
I remember, sing it
Wutchu say?

We all need sex!
But you don't love it like I do
We all need sex!
And somebody they lie to
We all need sex!
Alright and it's gonna continue
We all need sex!
It's just the animal in you

Now if you ever got it in the kitchen
Know how to stop it then she gets in
It placed only knew what they was missin'
I remember, sing it

We all need sex!
But you don't love it like I do
We all need sex!
And somebody they lie to
We all need sex!
Alright and it's gonna continue
We all need sex!
It's just the animal in you





Sex, it's what's for dinner
Son Of Sam, rock on
