I Don’t Need That – SeDa

One of our favorite characters on the show is Nigerian drug warlord-turned man of faith, Mr. Eko. His character arc through Season 2 had him dealing with the death of his younger brother Yemi, a Catholic priest murdered in the crossfire of a gun battle between Eko and the Nigerian Army.

Eko’s decisions were notably marred by compromise. Eko was willing to endanger his brother in his quest to gain wealth and power – to the point that he even forced Yemi to compromise his own beliefs and get involved in a plot to smuggle drugs out of the country. However, after Yemi’s murder, Eko appears to set out on a path to redemption – his very walking staff bearing the carvings of scriptures that guide him on his new journey.

SeDa’s lyrics on this song speak to his resolve to never be swayed or compromised by the allure of the drug-dealing trapper lifestyle glorified by many in hip hop culture. He opens the song with a shout-out to all of the “Mr. Ekos” in the game.

Tony “Keynote” Sebro laced the track – the horns and swelling vocals of the sample provide a nice contrast to the strings – and provided the beat box during the intro.

lyrics

Chorus:

I Don’t Need that Money, That Car, That Key, That Gram
Nah Man Don’t put it in my Hand

I Don’t Need that Purple, that Weight, That Model, That Make
Nah Man Im doin okay

See I ain't been around the world , Ain't been to many places

But I been through things that left me feeling tasteless
So give me that peace, that joy, that love, that work

Anything extra is a perk
