I Don't Need Nobody

Intro

mmh, ooh-ooh, ah

soft steps on a cold floor, I smile (I smile)

mmh, na-na, hey

Verse

I wake up to my own laugh, sunlight on my skin

coffee cup, bare feet, new day, new spin

no ring, no call, no map to where I begin

I learned to carry my own flame, no one to dim

Pre-chorus

used to bend like branches, now I stand like stone (stand like stone)

learned my worth in silence, now I claim my throne (claim my throne)

I move slow, then move quick — watch the way I own

soft voice, sharp edge, yeah I’m coming for my zone (oh)

Chorus

I don’t need nobody, I’m better on my own, yeah

I don’t need nobody, I made a world and I own it, oh

I don’t need nobody, I walk in gold, I glow, yeah

I don’t need nobody, I’m free, I’m done, I’m home (I’m home)

Verse

lipstick like a warning, heels click like a beat (click, click)

friends say “who’s that?” I say “that’s me, elite”

no lock on my door, no chains on my feet

I spend nights with my plans and mornings with the streets

Pre-chorus

used to chase approval, now I chase the sky (I chase the sky)

your texts turn to dust, your promises pass by (pass by)

I keep a little fire, I keep a little pride

soft then savage, sugar flip to iron (uh-huh)

Chorus

I don’t need nobody, I’m better on my own, yeah

I don’t need nobody, I made a world and I own it, oh

I don’t need nobody, I walk in gold, I glow, yeah

I don’t need nobody, I’m free, I’m done, I’m home (I’m home)

I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody, ooh

I don’t need nobody, I don’t need nobody, yeah

Bridge

watch me cut a path with a smile, watch me break the mold (break it)

laughing while I leave the script you thought I’d hold

soft on the edges, baddie in the centerfold

I write my endings bold, rewrite the story told (hey, hey)

Chorus

I don’t need nobody, I’m better on my own, yeah

I don’t need nobody, I made a world and I own it, oh

I don’t need nobody, I walk in gold, I glow, yeah

I don’t need nobody, I’m free, I’m done, I’m home (I’m home)
