Take what I need, don't need a reason
This what I prayed for, life in agreement
And end every season, here comes the evening
This is what I paid for, don't need to please 'em
What was the beefing? I was just cheesing
I like to dance and I'm a romantic
Kick in the door and then I kick my feet up
Can't listen when the beat up

Yes, can I rest just for a sec'?
Rent is due too soon, I question the use
Oh, yes, can I rest just for a sec'?
Rent is due too soon, I question the use

Take, take, take
Take what I need, don't need a reason
This what I prayed for, life in agreement
And end every season, here comes the evening
This is what I paid for, don't need to please 'em
What was the beefing? I was just cheesing
I like to dance and I'm a romantic
Kick in the door and then I kick my feet up
Can't listen when the beat up

Yes, can I rest just for a sec'?
Rent is due too soon, I question the use
Oh, yes, can I rest just for a sec'?
Rent is due too soon, I question the use

Practice what you preaching
I can't listen when the beat up
Fast car and I'm speeding
(Can't listen when the beat up, and I don't need a reason)
I know it's abuse, could use an excuse
To gain what I need individually
Just come on and give me a spliff and a dream
A nigga knee-deep, make it easy for me

When the beat up, can't listen when the beat up
Practice what you preaching
I can't listen when the beat up
Fast car and I'm speeding
I can't listen when the beat up, and I don't need a reason
Feel sorry for the sick ones
Goodbye, been a good run
Goodbye, been a good run
