I Don’t Wanna Lose

[Intro]
Do you, do you
Do you, do you
Do you rea-, do you rea-
Do you rea-, do you rea-

[Chorus]
Do you really need me
The way I need you?
Do you really love me
The way I love you?

[Verse 1]
Ayo, the market's all fucked up
Everybody house hunting
Wife’s on a health kick
I just wanna smoke something
Life got crazier, all getting older
My patience wore thin, metabolism got slower
Physically, I'm 44, mentally 27
Sexually 23, sense of humor 'bout 11
Heh, funny how this game is so odd
When did rappers start getting botox and nosejobs?
The hairline doеsn’t wanna grow lately, heh
And the (?) gеtting kinda low, baby
I'm just tryna age in grace, but it's hard saving face
When you spend 20 years blazing jays, life is catching up
They say it's corny 'cause I never wear designer brands
I think it's corny that you care about designer brands
I don't do the fashion, I do the find your passion
Then it's time for action, ’til you shinin’ everlasting, I needed this

[Chorus]
Do you really need me
The way I need you?
Do you really love me
The way I love you?
You, you, you really, you really need me
The way I need you? (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Ayo, the market's all fucked up
Everybody job hunting
Couple years of Covid
Everybody lost something
Still tryna’ figure out and understand more
How this vet keeps winning in a younger man's sport
They try to tell me all press is good press, nah
I don't see their perspective, I guess I just ain't that desperate
Or maybe me finding fame ain’t as important as my rep is
Or maybe it's 'cause my family just kept me level-headed
I don't know
But I wouldn't change a thing
In my eyes, the way I did it made one of the greatest if all time
I never changed (yeah)
Found success (yeah)
I raised my kids and still got my (?) (yeah)
I chose the home life
And never got too caught up with the road life
Still handle business though, and made the best of both, right?
This game, I wanted but
It don't mean nothin'
It's the fact I actually loved it
Is why it still means something
And I needed this (Do you really)

[Chorus]
You really need me (Whoo, I needed this)
The way I need you?
Do you really love me
The way I love you?
You, you, you really, you really need me
The way I need you?

[Outro]
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose
