Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember when it used to be simple,
But all this cash, it just complicates things,
And all this money that we into, It'll drive you crazy but it only makes me go harder,
Grow stronger,
And get tougher when the road gets longer,
Sometimes you gon' think its too much on you,
But think what I'd be doin' if this wasn't going on,
So I just keep pushin' when I'm being pulled in every direction,
Now I'm poppin' so they watchin every step of my progression,
Sometimes, fame's like a curse, latched to my blessin on the road to the riches turnin' everything to heaven, nah,
Dear lord if you hear me,
I don't need a new friend near me,
Cause I don't want none of that fake love,
Cause how I'm lookin' at it, all of that be made up,
Chorus
I remember when it wasn't this big,
Now ya'll wanna act like ya'll helped me get here,
Oh, now everybody wanna love me,
Try, knock me down but I'm strong,
Ain't got no time for no new friends, so for now just leave me alone,
I don't need ya'll anyway X6
I don't need ya'll,
Verse 2
Makin' each and every song like it might be my last one,
But still makin' sure the cash come,
Still ain't forget the times when I didn't have none,
Back against the wall feelin' like I had to grab some,
That's when, I took time and I figured it out,
I'd rather deal with the stress more than livin' without,
Take a one way trip to the top one time,
Let you have it for a minute, now I want mine,
Same girl on the cover of the magazine,
Was the one hiding pain that you hadn't seen,
Talking 'bout no money no family, sixteen in the middle of miami,
Same critics love me nowadays couldn't stand me,
Now we talkin' 'bout VMA's and a grammy,
But in due time turnin' nothin' into somethin',
So now I need money put it all in my discussions,
Chorus
I remember when it wasn't this big,
Now ya'll wanna act like ya'll helped me get here,
Oh, now everybody wanna love me,
Try, knock me down but I'm strong,
Ain't got no time for no new friends, so for now just leave me alone,
I don't need ya'll anyway X6
I don't need ya'll,
Verse 3
And if you wasn't here when I was down,
Then you won't be here when I'm up,
Now the same one you looked over,
Be the same one that blew up,
Ain't it funny how this life thing works?,
When you think its finished is when it all begins,
Go from doubts to havin' the thought it might work,
When I reminisce sometimes I,
Can't even keep a dry eye,
But my how time flies by,
When you on top of the world sky high
Chorus
I remember when it wasn't this big,
Now ya'll wanna act like ya'll helped me get here,
Oh, now everybody wanna love me,
Try, knock me down but I'm strong,
Ain't got no time for no new friends, so for now just leave me alone,
I don't need ya'll anyway X6
I don't need ya'll,
