[Verse 1]
Drama in my life on purpose
'Cause I don’t need to have purpose
Throw it all away to make ends
Fucking up my night to keep friends
You look hella broke in the comments
So I don't need to have comments on how you feel
[Chorus]
I did it all for the no
I did it all for the no good reasons
I said it all for the need
I always knew you would change like seasons
[Verse 2]
Oh, got a canary on the roadside
Haters would say that they can't find me
Too many people in my rider
I take another pill and I’m on a
Height as a blimp in the projects
I don't need to be modest in how I feel, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't never broke but if I'm broke, don't fix me
'Cause I don't need a halfway entry
I'm going solo and I’m moving slowly
All I care is how I feel
I can’t wait to be honest
In what's real
[Chorus]
I did it all for the no
Broke it all for the no good reasons
I said it all for the no
Did it all for the need
I did it all for the no
Said it all for the need, yeah
I broke it all for the no
I did it all for the need, yeah
[Outro]
I did it all for the no
I said it all for the need
