I Need To Know

[Intro]
I have it all and you on my team
If life start gettin' hard, would you still want me?
I need to know

[Verse 1]
What if I was just a common cat? Wasn't tryna rap
And I wore a uniform with a McDonalds's cap
Would you see the ambition that's in my eyes?
Last week was moppin' floors, this week is the fries
Would you stick by my side? Would you ride? would you roll?
Would you go? Need to know, need to know
Hit a slump, what if business was slow?
What if I couldn't sell tickets to shows?
Album was a brick in the stores, uh
Let me ask you do you see me just as Daniel
Or do you see the image that they market on the channels?
All these girls are acute, but I don't ever know they angle
At the rate that I'm going I might end up being single
Now, put yourself in my Lou's
All they see is green they don't ever see my blues
Everybody watchin', leavin' comments on my views
Got my head all knotted like that comic on the view, I love what I do
But I'm far from a happy camper
I ain't Happy Gilmore that was Adam Sandler
It makes me wonder how come Yeezy didn't marry Amber
This world is greedy and sleazy and that's my final answer
They going ham but I'm a go hammer
Try to keep a small circle I ain't trying to go ham
I gotta muster up a smile when I'm posin' for the camera
Watch me Chris Paul y'all cause I got a sick handle

[Chorus]
I have it all and you on my team
If life starts gettin' hard, would you still want me?
I need to know, need to know, are you with me for the long haul
Or if I fall off, would you still be the one I can call on?
I need to know-ow-ow
I need to know-ow
I need to know-ow-ow
I need to know-ow

[Verse 2]
I have everything to lose, you have everything to gain
I wonder would you still check for me if everything just changed
And the only thing that's left is the memories of the days
Where money wasn't an issue, would you go your separate ways?
Are you with me for the perks, usin' me as a provider?
Tellin' me you're my boy, boy you preachin' to the choir
You don't have to answer I can hear you speakin' through your silence
Takin' my love for granted like my weakness is my kindness
Sometimes I feel all alone in a crowded room
Gatherin' thoughts as I watch how everybody moves
Shakin' my hand, takin' photos, TwitPic-in'
To an opportunist, opportunities are slim pickens
Your mouth says, "What's up," when all I hear is meal ticket
It's hard to say who's real, even harder to say who isn't
Since I don't know the difference, I come off as distant
Without a warm reception, people take it as you dissin'
Are you kiddin', where's the hidden cam?
Girls say they love you all along its just a scam
And they got it all planned out, friends got they hands out
Tell 'em, "No," they say, "How you turn your fam' down?"
Oh we fam' now? I ain't get the memo
Funny that I didn't know you before I put out my demo
Now everybody want a slice, Kimbo
I need to know 'cause my mind's in limbo

[Chorus]
I have it all and you on my team
If life starts gettin' hard, would you still want me?
I need to know, need to know, are you with me for the long haul
Or if I fall off, would you still be the one I can call on?
I need to know-ow-ow
I need to know-ow
I need to know-ow-ow
I need to know-ow
