D#m
But now I'm in town, break it down
Thinking of making a new sound
F#
Playing a different show every night
In front of a new crowd
G#
That's you now, ciao
Seems that life is great now
B                  C#
See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
D#m                   F#
I can't, no, I won't hush
                                  G#
I'll say the words that make you blush
                     B  C#
I'm gonna sing this now,  ow ow
D#m
See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
F#
I'm like glue, I stick to other artists
G#
I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
B
Let me sing and do my thing
C#
And move to greener pastures
D#m
See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
F#
I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
G#
I won't stay put
Give me the chance to be free
B
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

Chorus:
D#m                                   F#
Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
                               G#
You need me, man, I don't need you
                                B
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         C#                    D#m
You need me, man, I don't need you

D#m                            F#
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               G#
You need me, man, I don't need you
                                B
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         C#
You need me

I sing and write my own tune
and I write my own verse hell
Don't need another wordsmith
to make my tunes sell
Call yourself a singer-writer,
you're just bluffing
Name's on the credits
and you didn't write nothing
I sing, fast, I know that all my shit's cool
I will blast and I didn't go to BRIT School
I came fast with the way I act, right
I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
And I won't be a product of my genre
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia
And musically I'm demonstrating
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me
A young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi

Chorus

'Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right
I won't stop until my name's in lights
With stadium heights, with Damien Rice
On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights
Because I'm young I know my brothers gonna give me advice
Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah
The game's over but now I'm on a new level
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
People think that I'm bound to blow up
I've done around about a thousand shows, but
I haven't got a house, plus I live on a couch
So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out
Wow, from day one I've been prepared
With V05 wax for my ginger hair
So now I'm back to the sofa giving a dose of
What the future holds 'cause it's another day
Plus I'll keep my last name forever,
keep this genre pretty basic
Gonna be breaking into other people's
tunes when I chase it
And replace it with the elephant
in the room with a facelift
Slipping into another rapper shoes using new laces
I'm selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the majors
Nationwide tour with Just Jack,
still had to get the bus back
Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache
I hit back when the pen hurts me
I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
I'm still the same as a year ago
But more people hear me though
According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio
Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio
Melody music maker, reading all the papers
They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator
