Zitate und Songtexte von Joe Budden

What he don't know is we the most kindred of souls
I should've did this two Kendricks ago

But now my phone blowin' up, they're like what I'm gonna do?
Show the world you shouldn't poke a man with nothin' to lose

I'll leave the past in the past, tomorrow's not promised
And today's just a gift, I guess that's why it's the present

I understand something's off about me but nothing's forced 'bout me
I never gave a f*ck of what a n*gga thought about me
I look down upon what some see as a must
Maybe I'm regular and the world needs to adjust

I won't succumb to all the stereotypes
Won't sacrifice me for what the stereo hypes
They told me get in where you fit in, this is what's in demand now
So I told em why try to fit in when you a standout?

Told me do what you gotta once you on
Hit the scene, make it rain, I told 'em I'm already in the storm

I got a warm reception way before any song hit
I think too outside of the box to be cornered
I'm too real to be fickle
Grounded but too fly to meet a n*gga in the middle, too big to be belittled

Get to know me through the music, not a publication
It's no justification, I mean enough with the waitin'
I lost all my trust and my patience
That came without the crown or the chair or the robe
n*gga, I don't care what you sold

Diamond in the rough, I stood out amongst the fugaz'
Swear a friend a mine headlined every news page, with dreams of bein' wealthy
You now checkin out the New Jersey version of Peter Petrelli
But wait, with a little Travis Barker on the side

I'm comin with some different shit
And these offices all about my paper, that's that Dunder Mifflin shit
