Yeah…
I don’t enter a space, I scan it first
Clock who’s too calm, who rehearsed
Who laughs just a second too late
Like they trying to sync up fate
I keep my face low, voice even tone
But I see what you are when you think you’re alone
Every shift in your posture gets stored
Every lie you don’t say gets scored
I grew up where silence had weight
Where one wrong word could sit for days
So I learned how to let things fade
Not react, just watch how it plays
Now I don’t argue, I just remove
No speech, no warning, no proof
If it feels off, I don’t need truth
I just step and cut the loose
⸻
HOOK:
I don’t need much, I just need it real
No bending for how I feel
If it changes, I change the deal
No noise, just what I seal
Bless thyne ears, hear the room go still
It ain’t music, it’s iron chill
It’s late night when the fake gets real
And you hear what you never will
I move off read, not trust or hope
If it’s solid it never won’t
If it’s shaky it starts to choke
I don’t save what already broke
⸻
Back—
I seen loyalty slip through teeth
Same smile, different belief
Same hands that used to be clean
Now they hide what they mean beneath
I don’t call it betrayal no more
It’s just math when it hits the floor
If it folds under pressure, it’s poor
Nothing personal, just law
I been quiet but not out of peace
Out of knowing what words release
How a sentence can change a room
How a truth can increase the heat
So I speak like I’m weighing each line
Not for art, just for time
If it doesn’t hit, I don’t mind
I just leave it behind
⸻
SWITCH:
Look—
I don’t chase what I already clocked
I don’t knock on a door that’s locked
If it cracked once, it’s already shot
No repair, no second shot
I been in rooms where respect don’t live
Where everything’s take and never give
Where a favor is just a pivot
To see what you’ll slip and give it
So I move like I’m slightly apart
Not cold, just guarding my heart
Not lost, just not in the dark
I see everything start where it starts
And I don’t raise my voice for effect
If I leave, it’s already checked
If I stay, it’s cause I detect
Something real I can’t reject
⸻
HOOK:
I don’t need much, I just need it real
No bending for how I feel
If it changes, I change the deal
No noise, just what I seal
Bless thyne ears, let the tension sit
Every word got a quiet grit
It don’t heal, it just coexist
With the parts you try to skip
I move off read, not trust or chance
If it’s solid it holds its stance
If it shakes, it don’t get a dance
I don’t give it a second glance
⸻
Last pass—
I don’t talk like I need to be heard
I don’t chase validation or words
If I’m there then it’s already earned
If I’m gone then the page just turns
I seen too much to be impressed
By loud talk and fake success
So I keep my world compressed
Small circle, less stress
And I don’t pretend I’m above it all
I just don’t answer every call
If it rises, I let it fall
Gravity handles it all
Yeah…
I don’t need much, I just need it real.
