Needs
Create a rap in the style of Alan watts and Bruce leeLyrics
*(Verse 1)*
I’m breakin’ down Maslow, let’s climb the tiers,
Five levels of needs, let me make it clear,
We start at the bottom, yeah, the base of the stack,
It’s the physiological, gotta keep it intact.
Food, water, shelter, breathin’ that air,
The basics of life, just to make it out there.
No sleep, no eat, man, the body won’t thrive,
Gotta get these in line just to feel alive.
*(Chorus)*
From the bottom to the top, we rise and we grow,
Maslow’s hierarchy, let’s go, let’s go!
Meet the needs, climb higher, set your soul on fire,
From the basics to the peak, reachin’ self-desire.
*(Verse 2)*
Next up, it’s safety, gotta feel secure,
No danger in the zone, got a future that’s sure,
Health and some money, yeah, stability’s tight,
Gotta know that tomorrow, you’ll be sleepin' alright.
From the crime in the streets to a roof overhead,
It’s peace in your mind, no worries, no dread.
So we lock it all down, and we move to the third,
It’s love and belonging, where the heart gets heard.
*(Chorus)*
From the bottom to the top, we rise and we grow,
Maslow’s hierarchy, let’s go, let’s go!
Meet the needs, climb higher, set your soul on fire,
From the basics to the peak, reachin’ self-desire.
*(Verse 3)*
Now we’re talkin’ friendships, family tight,
Connections with people, where the vibe feels right.
You needin’ that love, gotta have that crew,
Feelin’ like you belong, yeah, they got you.
And when that’s all good, we rise to esteem,
Respect and achievement, buildin’ up that dream.
Self-worth in your pocket, confidence in your stride,
Feelin’ valued and seen, yeah, there’s no need to hide.
*(Bridge)*
But we ain’t stoppin’ here, no, we takin’ it higher,
To the tip of the pyramid, where the soul meets fire,
Self-actualization, yeah, the ultimate goal,
To be all you can be, let your true self unfold.
*(Verse 4)*
Creativity’s flowin’, potential unlocked,
You’re livin’ your purpose, every moment’s a shock.
You’re learnin’, you’re growin’, you’re bein’ so real,
All the needs are aligned, now it’s time to feel.
Self-awareness is key, and you’re ridin’ that wave,
A life full of meaning, every choice is so brave.
From the ground to the peak, now you know how it goes,
It’s Maslow’s hierarchy, the path that we chose.
*(Chorus)*
From the bottom to the top, we rise and we grow,
Maslow’s hierarchy, let’s go, let’s go!
Meet the needs, climb higher, set your soul on fire,
From the basics to the peak, reachin’ self-desire.
*(Outro)*
So remember the steps, keep them locked in your mind,
From the body to the soul, every need is aligned.
Maslow broke it down, now we carry the creed,
Level up in your life, fulfill every need.
