I got things that I need & done things that I want to a lesser degree/
See it today but I’ll get it tomorrow it’s all about checking my greed/
People and comments are fake and it’s honestly making it harder to be/
Yourself in space where your health is a stake if you want every product you see/
Opinions always cost/
I don’t care that’s for free/
Baby, you can take it how you want/
I got all I want baby/
I got all I need/
I got all I want, baby yeah/
Don’t try to convince me that I need it when I got it/
Don’t try to convince me I ain’t got it/
If I’m breathing than I got it/
I’ve been good this long without it/
I ain’t buying what you selling fact you yelling make me doubt it/
Think I don’t notice you follow when you need a favor your effort is hollow/
Today ain’t the day I was born it’s the day that you wake up and get a new model/
I been okay though with saying tomato/
And y’all hit me up with tomato/
A different label the product the same though It’s B.S. in popular bottles/
I’m not complacent I/
Stopped at amazing while perusing greatness/
Not late on payments I shoot on location/
All from the music produced on vacation/
I’m in my own space that I codify/
The rules of engagement are mine in the making/
There’s room for improvement but not the foundation/
The root of my strength is on top of the Apex/
I doubt that I’m changing/
Opinions always cost/
I don’t care that’s for free/
Baby, you can take it how you want/
I got all I want baby/
I got all I need/
I got all I want, baby yeah/

As soon as I heard the song Like Really I just had to buy the album. Then I finished listening to all the songs, and knew I made a good choice. Oddisee is one of the best hip hop artists on bandcamp. Devin Anderson
Went to college at UMD-College Park and Oddisee and the rest of the MMG had a hold on those of us looking for great music. Nostalgia and the beats still hold up. Salaam. ericburkley
