lyrics

Intro:
Mmm Yeah
It ain't what you want but it's what you need
It ain't what you want but it's
Yeahhh
It ain’t
Mmmm


Verse 1:
Yo
I just wanna feel, happiness and chill
I don't wanna kill, I just wanna build
Family a shield, I believe I will
(That's right... What you saying?)
I don't wanna kneel, stand up on the hills
Balancing my skill, managing my bills
I don't wanna deal, I just want a mill
(That's right)
Not shadowing a
(Not shadowing who blood?)
Not shadowing a man because the shadow will reveal
My light's too bright I'm not narrowing my field
Talented for real
And it gimme chills, battering the drill
Can I get a wheel, patterning my kmt
Patterning the pattern till it yields
Out to the man dem on the field
Hasn't got meal, nanny was on
And he couldn't deal, ran up on the till
(Ahhh)
Gotta protect my sanity for real
I don't wanna deal with
Family drama, agony after, back in a saga
Challenging karma, rapping disaster


Chorus:
Noooo
Nooo
Oh ohh ohh
It ain't what you want but it's what you need
It ain't what you gain but it's what you leave
Without the faith you can't cross the sea and
Nooo
Nooo oh
Heee ayyy heeee
It ain't what you want but it's what you need - yeah
All about ya faith and not what you see
Without the faith you can't cross the sea and


Verse 2:
Yo... (What you saying?)
They're tryna put doubt in my mind
They really wanna see myself minimise
But I'll win though I don't need help it's alright
Nooo (what you saying?)
I said they're tryna put doubt in my mind
You ain't got a lift so brudda how can you rise
You ain't got the wings so brudda how can you fly
Nooo (what you saying?)
They're always tryna put doubt in my mind
They can't help criticise, they're not helping a guy
They be out to devise, I can tell by the vibe
Selfish alie
But I won't allow it to grind
Me down, so when I’m crowding the mic
Manna black out like I've got my outfit aligned
Nooo (what you saying?)
And if there is a mountain to climb
Don't say no way, you should help me to hike
Ain't on top yet but you're bound for the sky
If we're a team then you better help me to thrive
If I can't see then you better tell me the sign
If I can't read then you better tell me the line
If I can't breathe then you better help me survive


Chorus:
Noooo
Nooo
Oh ohh ohh
It ain't what you want but it's what you need
It ain't what you gain but it's what you leave
Without the faith you can't cross the sea and
Nooo
Nooo oh
Heee ayyy heeee
It ain't what you want but it's what you need - yeah
All about ya faith and not what you see
Without the faith you can't cross the sea and
