B-Real - Needful Things lyrics

[Voices in the background] Don't listen to him [Intro: B-Real] I gotta k** these, I gotta k** these voices They're takin over, tellin' me I'm this and that Making me feel like a f**ing addict Yo, let's talk about what I need I can't hang with this sh**, fool [Verse 1: B-Real] Check it out, I'm a menace to my race I dare any one of you to come up in my face I live under the gun, die by the gun When I lay to rest, I'll lie by the gun The outcome of every individual Is infection through his poisonous rituals Some seem to break away from the chains Of paranoia, stress and strain, I remain Locked in the circle, never ending, mind bending Unrelenting, thoughts mending, nightmares From the past to the present, but I got no future And no one else in it So I take all the stimulants to keep me calm My mind is the bomb about to blow Let it all flow as I carry all of you Through my sick thoughts, mental level distraught Crisis seem to be poisonin' Everything I touch turns to sh**, I wanna flee But my responsibilties won't let me escape One solution, take this pain away [Verse 2: Big Duke] D-I-M-E, dimin' down to a cell Drive down, a bottomless well to hell I feel I'm back in my cell [?] never knew no hell To deserve that I serve But in a joint, you're serving me A broke neck and d** worse (What does it mean?) [Verse 3: B-Real] I need help, now I'm fallin' in a pit And I can't get out without helpin' me to submit My momma told me that I need jesus in my life My wife left with the kids, I'm home alone tonight Maybe she don't got one f**in' clue About the rituals, individuals go through I'm a runaway train comin' off track Whose to blame for all of my shameless acts? No one but myself, I step into the Serious misuse of d** introduced To my system, all critical I'm poisoned through the venoms of my rituals Inhibitous, pacified, without distributors Paths collide with mine Maybe I'd be better off in the grave Maybe I'd be better off in the grave Instead of a slave to these pills I wish I was saved But there's no hope for me So I serve and be example of what exactly not to be You motherf**ers better take head Try and succeed, achieve your goals, fullfill all your needs Indeed, proceed with your strife We'll all fall victims to the needful things in life [Outro: B-Real] That's right, we all fall a victim to the needful things Whether it be b**hes, money, materialistic bullsh**! [Big Duke] What you need? huh? what you really need? huh? What could you need? what could you need? What could you need? huh? The so called needful things in life I could do without it f** all of ya'll
