What They Need Lyrics by Pete Flux & Parental

Infinite Growth

2018

[Verse 1]
My head's heavy with words, I never sleep
I lay awake, rustling hard between the sheets
The funny thing is I'm an EP deep
And these niggas swear rhyming is the easy street
Sick bars, got quarantined by CDC
Spit at legendary clips, call em CP3s
Whoa, that's an effortless point of reference
Most would say the country's run by the president
I say the ones not living in the present tense
To keep it real in the face of greed's prevalence
Hip hop is hard work with little recompense
I jumped a hurdle now I gotta leap a second fence
In a row, try to take it in my stroll
Or a stride, rip a few shows to let em know
That I'm live, broadcast the tracks and get the cash
Pragmatic rap addicts the only niggas that last huh?
[Chorus]
They want the cars and the clothes
What they need, kid? Bars and the flows
They want the bitches and the stacks
What they need, kid? Vision and a map
They want the cars and the clothes
What they need, kid? Bars and the flows
They want the bitches and the stacks
What they need, kid? Vision and a map
[Verse 2]
I want to scream it from a megaphone
For my nation that's overrun with severed homes
Clever poems almost ensure you're never known
Set in stone by those who'd rather break bread alone
Than share, sad state of affairs, we can't stop though
I'm mad great with these pairs and they're not bro
Killing your shit with my diligent clique
We feel that you missed, it's all fucking villas and spliffs
Militant riffs about drug dealers that lift
Heavy weight, meditate on how I'm real as it gets
When you listen to a verse about material shit
Recognize there's no lies when my miracles writ
Split, time with my peeps and the crew
Put the balance on the wax, then deliver to you
First hand, burst plans of a critical few
Give you nothing but the raw, quite the pivotal view
[Chorus]
They want the cars and the clothes
What they need, kid? Bars and the flows
They want the bitches and the stacks
What they need, kid? Vision and a map
They want the cars and the clothes
What they need, kid? Bars and the flows
They want the bitches and the stacks
What they need, kid? Vision and a map
[Verse 3]
Not trying to change your mind, I'm telling it like it is
Even if I'm much maligned by most of the writing biz
It's such a grind, promoting the type of shiz
That discusses real life and the energy that you give
To keep pushing, the beats to keep cooking
Parental's got those, these pros indeed hook em'
With allure, bringing warmth back, like a heated cushion
Not leading bookings but we see you looking
Developed a bond perfecting the craft
And it's, helping us on this definite path
As one of the great duos, don't want the fake kudos
Critics rate pseudos, mostly hate nouveau
Even when it's clear to see as H2O
That we're two of the best artists to break through though
You know the style that'll make you believe
It's Pete Flux, giving all the people what they need
[Chorus]
They want the cars and the clothes
What they need, kid? Bars and the flows
They want the bitches and the stacks
What they need, kid? Vision and a map
They want the cars and the clothes
What they need, kid? Bars and the flows
They want the bitches and the stacks
What they need, kid? Vision and a map
