The Need Superficial is the 6th track off of Oddisee’s People Hear What They See, released June 5, 2012:
It is the personification of the rap game, hip hop and art as a whole as a very vague, obscure, ambiguous, enigmatic and possibly beautiful woman.
Oddisee shows how this woman possess all the a...
[Verse 1:]
Hot damn, son: where should I start?
On my sleeves I was wearing my heart
My beliefs I was tearing apart
She was my religion, nothing clear as the art
I idolized her, I demised her
Fiend for the esteem, must creep and supply her
For I too one to blame that I used her
To view her lyrical claim, I’m not a loser
To walk next to her, you’d understand
To be a man, most def, you would have to throw a check to her
I mean, dawg, food off the mic that I hit
When robbers a jewel off, the sight of the chick that I’m with
Excites the words that describe that you’re next to something
That’s desire
To possess requires obsession
I need her in my life, so see I confessed it
[Hook:]
Superficial, super love, yeah
Superficial, super love, yeah
[Verse 2:]
Yo, yo, yo, look most things being chased don't want to be
But she keep a pace where her face stay in front of me
What a great catch, don’t let it get near
My biggest fame, that my interest will disappear
I ain’t escaped yet, but in time
I’ll find something to climb for the challenge of it, mere
Sweet nothing’s in the air of my next here
My dear in the making I make tear
From the faces of beauty I turn ugly
I want you to want me to be unclear
So good at courting, and yet keeping
I ain't quite perfected, I’m just move it
Steady deceiving myself, believing
I ain’t leaving for somebody else
It’s a cycle that I just can’t through
I love it right now, so superficial
[Hook: x2]
