This song is the perfect example of being in a place where you do need help but people have let you down so much or dont really give a shit that you learn to rely on yourself because depending on someone else means problems and hurt
Growing up as a child with depression… eventually I always end up at rock bottom with no recollection of the good times… a cycle of pain, when does it ever end
jhene is my soul partner, ive been rocking with her forever. Born the same yr, had our child the same yr and lost a close person in the same yr . All her music speaks volumes and now im dealing with the loss of my mummy and im just trying to hold on. I was glad to see jhene in concert on 11/24 3 days before my mummy passed away on 11/27 and it was her birthday the day she died😢
I often feel like I need to isolate and push everyone away too. One thing I have realized through a lot of heartbreak is that it takes time to find people who really value you to surround yourself with. This song is extremely therapeutic to me because I’ve been here so many times. To anyone else feeling like this right now… may we all find our way out of the darkness someday 💚
As soon as that last minute starts and she sings about her life leading up to the pill popping, it gets so real. Whenever I hear her sing "I don't have my brother...take this." it hits me so hard.
The people who souley listen to jhene have the rare, powerful and deep souls. I love reading the beauty in all the comments I feel like I've found my new world, jhene truly has one of the most special fan bases. ♥️
When jhene said "The people ik they just wanna know what's going on I can't tell a soul no i can't tell no one don't need nothing from no one no I don't need nobody" it touch my soul 💖
Grab my purse with my prescriptions in it, (Take this),Tiny bursts of optimism in them,(Take this),I’m reversing my decision to win - Jhene’s lyrics slay !
“No one ever listened no one called me pretty , I think I am worthless , I don’t have a purpose , who am I enough for , why we always lose what we work for” This song is my feelings growing up , “take this, take this” it’s so hard to grow from this lifestyle into a beautiful woman but when you do no one can tear you down anymore ♥️
Those who had the struggle in life can truly, heartfelt relate to this. Going through the things you've been through in life makes you realize you shouldn't feel the need to need somebody. Its self worth. You get stronger everyday and strive for a better tomorrow. My Mama didn't need nobody, and I don't either.
When she said “The people I know, they just wanna know what's going on I can't tell a soul, no, I can't tell no one Don't need nothing from no one No, I don't need nobody” I felt that
I feel like everyone's saying this is a good song (which it is) but nobody's actually listening to what she's saying. This girl done been through a lot and it's obvious she used drugs as a coping mechanism, but that's what music needs, the realness 💯 cause she does have a pretty face but listen to her music and you can see everything she's been through. 💪🏾 Strong one ❤️
Lola D I'm not saying you can't say it's a good song even if you can relate to it, I'm saying some people just need to pay attention to what she's saying
Jacorey Nickols what makes you assume they are not listening to the lyrics? I see people literally posting their fav lines in the song.all this love & you choose to nit pick & bring negativity maybe you need to listen to her more
Hey Jhene, currently going through heartbreak rn. I’m listening to all of ur heartbreak songs & it just hits so different. I’m also attending ur concert in Jersey next week! I just know I’m going to cry the ugliest cry. Thank you so much ❤ ur music is really helping me get through 🤍🤍
Attention is expensive to pay I can't get by on minimum wage Been dealing with this venomous rage Since I was under the age I've been under the influence of pain [Chorus] And I never needed nobody Never needed no one No, I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody I don't need no one, shit, I don't need no one [Verse 2] Fucking up my chakras again My father is a doctor, I've been talking to him All the shit I'm taking, could've got it from him I don't have no patience, prolly got it from him Just a product of him Pop one, pop two, pop three, four pills These things tell me how life should feel Fuck yeah, fuck you, it's my free will Please don't tell me to chill [Chorus] 'Cause I don't need nobody I don't need no one, I don't need no one No, I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody I don't need no one, I don't need no one [Verse 3] No one ever listened, no one called me pretty Grampy called me Penny, I think I am worthless I don't have a purpose Who am I enough for? Why we always lose what we work for? Why we hurt more? Why we never see my mother cry? She's so tough for us, poor her [Chorus] She don't need nobody, nobody, nobody She don't need no one, she don't need no one So I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody I don't need no one, I don't need no one I don't need [Verse 4] (Take this) grab my purse with my prescriptions in it (Take this) tiny bursts of optimism in them (Take this) I'm reversing my decision to win (Take this) take this, take this, take (Take this) back to '88 when everything was great Then life had just begun (Take this) it is '89 now, everything is fine now I am only one (Take this) wait for the 2008 summer I'ma be a mother, wow (Take this) 2012 summer, it just got tougher I don't have my brother now Take this, take six, take pics, faces, famous Face it, fake shit, pain is faithless Yes, I am aware I am tripping I'm here in this hell that I don't wanna live in I smoke on my own, I drink on my own I know it's wrong To people I know, they just wanna know what's going on I can't tell a soul, no, I can't tell no one Don't need nothing from no one No, I don't need nobody Outro] But you're not alone, you got me Look, I know what'll make you feel better Here, try this
Fucking up my chakaras gets me every time! The amount of time that's put into healing yourself and returning to center and feeling like yourself again vs the amount of time it takes for someone to fuck it all up is insane.
Jasmine Aliyah Jhene took you on a trip, and put you through emotions that never made you flip. You stayed equipped, even when the negative energy on your I phone almost turned it to a flip.
This song speaks so much volume to me, especially the ending. Its almost as if you've become immune to having people around you because you've grown to enjoy the comfort of being alone.
Yes, I am aware I am tripping I'm here in this hell that I don't wanna live in I smoke on my own, I drink on my own I know it's wrong To people I know, they just wanna know what's going on I can't tell a soul, no, I can't tell no one Don't need nothing from no one No, I don't need nobody
She knows which instrumentals to pick to match the mood/vibe of the song. Listen to every song & watch how each tone & beat matches her voice & lyrics so perfectly imperfect, that's true artistry at it's best...they don't deserve jhene
crazysexycooll 89 boo lol not 99 but yeah jhene dope as hell this whole album she said was just poetry, her thoughts, and feelings that she wrote in her diary
listening to this song again feels like an overdue hug . when this album came out , it was the only way i allowed myself to feel . still struggling w depression & addiction but now i see the light . THANK U JHENE!!! ILL TAKE YOUR MUSIC OVER & OVER
This is really one of the ones that hit me differently. I am grateful for the words and flow here and thankful because it is such a relatable vibe. From Dahshon. Thanks so much for sharing.⚽👽❤️🤍
This song really gets me through a lot and it makes me realize at the end of the day that the reality is I am alone but I really am and I realize what life is ultimately about and it makes me definitely look at things from a different perspective about friendships and relationships you know it just makes you feel so humbly empowered and I take this song with so much grace and I apply it to my mentality because this music is really getting me through some tough things in my life and I really appreciate it. I really do because I feel so alone at times, I really do and I’m so strong for everyone but myself but I know I’m gonna get through it….💕
Yes, yes yes Jhene. She did it again. I love the lyrics. Have been listening to this everyday since I first heard it. Oh weeee, the switch up. One of my favourites from this project.
Wow a year and half ago i became a mother and now i just lost my closest sister to liver cirosis. Just going through exactly what she is going though 😭 May my beautiful sisters soul rest in peace 🕊❤💔
The parts that hit me is “why we never see my momma cry she so tough for us poor her; she don’t need nobody she don’t need no one she don’t need no one so i don’t need no one” & “Fake shit, pain hits,faithless....yes i am aware that I’m tripping I’m here in this hell that i don’t wanna live in... i smoke on my own i drink on my own i know it’s wrong Jhene i feel that sooo much. This song comforts me and tells me shit i don’t need no one
""No one ever listened, no one called me pretty Grandpa called me "Mushy", I think I am worthless I don't have a purpose Who am I enough for?Why we always lose what we work for?Why we hurt more?."
I felt this shit on another level.My life for real except the pills.. try hard not to get addicted tho, mama tho don't care so I don't care either. She a real one for that though me and her against the world how its always been.
"since I was under the age...I been under the influence of pain..." this line gets me every time
Loraine Mzizi EVERYTIME , EVERYDAY that i listen .. i’ve never felt something as much as that line 🥺🤦🏾♀️
Seriously
Loraine Mzizi u and me both
EXACTLY
SWEAR!
This song is the perfect example of being in a place where you do need help but people have let you down so much or dont really give a shit that you learn to rely on yourself because depending on someone else means problems and hurt
i’m there right now , feel like im stuck in limbo with no where to go.

Jhene took me on a TRIP ☁️☁️☁️
I think the message of this song is to never depend on another person for yourself, or your happiness.
"since i was underage i been under the influence of pain" oh my god!!! i fucking love you Jhene you are fucking amazing this song just made me cry
She's so unique it's intimidating
I smoke on my own I drink on my own I know it's wrong!! The people I know they just want to know what's going on...............😕🙄😩

Its self worth. You get stronger everyday and strive for a better tomorrow. My Mama didn't need nobody, and I don't either.

This girl done been through a lot and it's obvious she used drugs as a coping mechanism, but that's what music needs, the realness 💯 cause she does have a pretty face but listen to her music and you can see everything she's been through. 💪🏾 Strong one ❤️
Jacorey Nickols THANK YOU
Orrr Some people are saying it’s a good song probably because they can relate
Lola D I'm not saying you can't say it's a good song even if you can relate to it, I'm saying some people just need to pay attention to what she's saying
Lola D to understand her better as a person and artist
Jacorey Nickols what makes you assume they are not listening to the lyrics? I see people literally posting their fav lines in the song.all this love & you choose to nit pick & bring negativity maybe you need to listen to her more
This album is really helping regain my strength and ease my pain while I’m attempting to fall out of love and rebuild myself 💚🧡💛❤️💚

Attention is expensive to pay
I can't get by on minimum wage
Been dealing with this venomous rage
Since I was under the age
I've been under the influence of pain
[Chorus]
And I never needed nobody
Never needed no one
No, I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody
I don't need no one, shit, I don't need no one
[Verse 2]
Fucking up my chakras again
My father is a doctor, I've been talking to him
All the shit I'm taking, could've got it from him
I don't have no patience, prolly got it from him
Just a product of him
Pop one, pop two, pop three, four pills
These things tell me how life should feel
Fuck yeah, fuck you, it's my free will
Please don't tell me to chill
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need nobody
I don't need no one, I don't need no one
No, I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody
I don't need no one, I don't need no one
[Verse 3]
No one ever listened, no one called me pretty
Grampy called me Penny, I think I am worthless
I don't have a purpose
Who am I enough for?
Why we always lose what we work for?
Why we hurt more?
Why we never see my mother cry?
She's so tough for us, poor her
[Chorus]
She don't need nobody, nobody, nobody
She don't need no one, she don't need no one
So I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody
I don't need no one, I don't need no one
I don't need
[Verse 4]
(Take this) grab my purse with my prescriptions in it
(Take this) tiny bursts of optimism in them
(Take this) I'm reversing my decision to win
(Take this) take this, take this, take
(Take this) back to '88 when everything was great
Then life had just begun
(Take this) it is '89 now, everything is fine now
I am only one
(Take this) wait for the 2008 summer
I'ma be a mother, wow
(Take this) 2012 summer, it just got tougher
I don't have my brother now
Take this, take six, take pics, faces, famous
Face it, fake shit, pain is faithless
Yes, I am aware I am tripping
I'm here in this hell that I don't wanna live in
I smoke on my own, I drink on my own
I know it's wrong
To people I know, they just wanna know what's going on
I can't tell a soul, no, I can't tell no one
Don't need nothing from no one
No, I don't need nobody
Outro]
But you're not alone, you got me
Look, I know what'll make you feel better
Here, try this
been dealing with this venomous rage
Man, Jhene is so dope. Underrated as fuck. Shit gets me so mad.
Honestly this whole song is a representation of what my life is currently. How she constantly manages to do so I am speechless.
Fucking up my chakaras gets me every time! The amount of time that's put into healing yourself and returning to center and feeling like yourself again vs the amount of time it takes for someone to fuck it all up is insane.
You made thissss Classic 4me. Happy Burfday Queen💚👋🏾🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
"I smoke on my own . I drink on my own . I know is wrong"🔥
Since I was underage I was under the influence of pain 💯 this whole song hits home
riiiiiiii
2000 till summer it just got tougher 💔🙌..
That "Take This" part just gave me chills. Fuck man.
Anthony Divas chill out but please don't tell you to chill...."You don't need nobody, no one...
Major MOOD right now! You get me through the day 🙌🏾
Jasmine Aliyah Jhene took you on a trip, and put you through emotions that never made you flip. You stayed equipped, even when the negative energy on your I phone almost turned it to a flip.
Damn Jhene….this my most of my life. 😢
The "Take This" part always gets me 💗
Somehow I’m happy I found this song post-depression rather than before ❤️ idk makes me feel like I wasn’t alone all those years and that I made it out
You’re never alone and you’re always loved 💞
This song speaks so much volume to me, especially the ending. Its almost as if you've become immune to having people around you because you've grown to enjoy the comfort of being alone.
the ‘ since i was under the age , i been under the influence of pain ‘ and ‘ take this ‘ part gives me chills EVERYTIME.. it’s sooo cold🥺🤦🏾♀️

UGHHHH THIS SONG IS SO GOOD
The type of instrumental she uuuuuse ! Oh looord 😍😍❤️❤️
Magui Mbodji Everything is Earthy tones
She knows which instrumentals to pick to match the mood/vibe of the song. Listen to every song & watch how each tone & beat matches her voice & lyrics so perfectly imperfect, that's true artistry at it's best...they don't deserve jhene
This makes me cry :(
Am I the only who see's the cover art moving?
Imani Merck It's supposed to, it's an illusion

listening to this song again feels like an overdue hug . when this album came out , it was the only way i allowed myself to feel . still struggling w depression & addiction but now i see the light . THANK U JHENE!!! ILL TAKE YOUR MUSIC OVER & OVER
This is really one of the ones that hit me differently. I am grateful for the words and flow here and thankful because it is such a relatable vibe. From Dahshon. Thanks so much for sharing.⚽👽❤️🤍
She always keeping it real with us.
This song really gets me through a lot and it makes me realize at the end of the day that the reality is I am alone but I really am and I realize what life is ultimately about and it makes me definitely look at things from a different perspective about friendships and relationships you know it just makes you feel so humbly empowered and I take this song with so much grace and I apply it to my mentality because this music is really getting me through some tough things in my life and I really appreciate it. I really do because I feel so alone at times, I really do and I’m so strong for everyone but myself but I know I’m gonna get through it….💕
Your music has marked a very intimate part of my life, and I'm loving this too
Yes, yes yes Jhene. She did it again. I love the lyrics. Have been listening to this everyday since I first heard it. Oh weeee, the switch up. One of my favourites from this project.
These things tell me how I should feel
2012 summer, it just got tougher, i dont have my brother now..... every time i sing along with that line my voice cracks and i tear up everytime 😢🙏😔💔
The strongest walk alone
Wow a year and half ago i became a mother and now i just lost my closest sister to liver cirosis. Just going through exactly what she is going though 😭 May my beautiful sisters soul rest in peace 🕊❤💔
“I’m here in this hell I don’t wanna live in” 😭💯
The parts that hit me is “why we never see my momma cry she so tough for us poor her; she don’t need nobody she don’t need no one she don’t need no one so i don’t need no one”
& “Fake shit, pain hits,faithless....yes i am aware that I’m tripping I’m here in this hell that i don’t wanna live in... i smoke on my own i drink on my own i know it’s wrong
Jhene i feel that sooo much. This song comforts me and tells me shit i don’t need no one
This is some deep sh!t... some real sh!t... #thePainofaPisces
Ahmen! us all the way
yup!! you know it baby xxxxx
Wow, so true!!
“But you’re not alone... you got me, here I know what’ll make you feel better... here try this”. I was like wooowww😪😪
""No one ever listened, no one called me pretty
Grandpa called me "Mushy", I think I am worthless I don't have a purpose Who am I enough for?Why we always lose what we work for?Why we hurt more?."
Her words always articulate the feelings I can never explain, yet im so familiar with.
I never needed nobody
I don't need no one
Thank you Jhene for this song really thank you.💛
“Yes, I’m aware I am tripping “🤷🏽♂️ True definition of an artist .. She’s dope!
This is her best piece of work , i don't care what y'all have to say. Also highly underappreciated.
I love this song! The beat, and everything about this is just the embodiment of art! I honestly love this woman.
I felt this shit on another level.My life for real except the pills.. try hard not to get addicted tho, mama tho don't care so I don't care either. She a real one for that though me and her against the world how its always been.
That's my shit!!
🔥🔥🔥
She’s an incredible writer...Writing from her SOUL...
Wow!..she snap'd on this one.
Slave2DaSystem
Jhenes music has always helped me understand what I’m feeling she’s so relatable I love you jhene penny😍
