I Don't Need Love

Michael Connelly reminded me with Echo Park

Of days of hoppin' on the metro, when they let those spark

Back when I collected retro art

And since then many a dearly departed God bless they heart

God bless they hearts

Harder living in Kane

Where the sun and the rain became one in the same

I took it as a lesson I was still learnin'

I'm still the will of the '84 torch burnin'

I been through heartbreaks to breakups to makeups to broke again

Not back again, my soul on the rope again

Took the jacket off and saw blood on my sleeves

When you wear your heart there, this the puddle it leaves

(I don't need love)

It's the rebuttal of thieves

And chicks with crooks like you, so what'll it be?

She steal your heart, now she runnin' the streets

Don't need the pain, man, troublin' me

I don't need love

I don't

I don't need love

Need love, need love

I don't need love

I don't need love

I don't need love

Need love

While Kanye was chasing spaceships all over the nation

I was at the grave site, face on the pavement

Left College Dropout, first flight racing

From Scranton, Pennsylvania on a prop plane praying

Heart 'bout to pop out my chest in Pittsburgh

Paranoid in first class, heard a voice, "Whisper" (Real talk)

Just touched back in LAX

And my phone starts buzzin' to 1000 texts

Out the gate and runnin' like I'm motorless

I Still Love You explained if you don't know the rest

I would say that's when love became an issue

Anybody treated me good, that's when I diss you

A certain chick who caught the bad end of the stick

And through thin and thick I still miss you

I've trashed every girl I've had since

Warm heart, cold mind is absent

Imagine

I don't need love anymore

I need pressure

Pain, my veins feelin' so electric

Blue in the skin, choosin' my sin

'Til the same sins doin' me in

I don't need love

I don't need love

I don't

I don't need love

Need love, need love

I don't need love

I don't need love

I don't need love

Need love
