I Need to Be Lyrics

[Intro: Mase]
Yo Cardan, come here, lemme school you to some shit
What up, dun?
Remember that girl you said was nineteen somethin'
Yeah I remember that shorty
She was not nineteen
Word! Yes she is she nineteen
Nigga I followed her to school that's how I know
Nigga I followed her to school you know I don't be into that
Dog, dog, she showed me some ID B, word up
Niggas got to jail for that
Lot a niggas go to jail
See you not a regular nigga right now
I know I know
Her friend ain't wanna give me the pussy
You wanna know what that bitch said to me?
What happened?

[Chorus: Monifah]
I really wanna mess wit you
But I ain't ready to have sex wit you
And I don't mind kissing on you
But I need to be, I need to be
You know I need to be loved by you
You know I need to be hugged by you
And I can't wait to be touched by you
Cuz I need to be, cuz I need to be
[Verse 1: Mase]
How many niggas out remember the
First time they try to take a girl virginity?
And through the bullshit, you lost your identity and lost your cool
Cuz you ain't know what to tell all your niggas at school
I had niggas making bets, like, did he fuck her yet?
Ask her did he touch her bra, when I say 'nah' they say 'aw'
So tomorrow I use that pressure to undress her
But the more I caress her, more I feel like a molester
So I wait for the day I deserve it
But every time I go to touch it, then she say I hurt it
I can't even talk sex and then she say I'm perverted
And then she say, "Mase, why we can't wait, what, I ain't worth it?"
It ain't that, but girl you never say I go too fast
All I'm seatin' when I'm eatin' or goin' in your ass
I guess you like that, huh?


[Chorus: Monifah]
I really wanna mess wit you
But I ain't ready to have sex wit you
And I don't mind kissing on you
But I need to be, I need to be
You know I need to be loved by you
You know I need to be hugged by you
And I can't wait to be touched by you
Cuz I need to be, cuz I need to be

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
