"Ayo" Lyrics - Joe Budden Ft. Emanny

[emanny - chorus]

ever felt like the world’s on your back and you need some love say ayo

and its hard to keep your life intact while they holdnig yo back, scream ayo

when enough is enough and it feels like

no matter what you do, nothing ever goes right

if you feel like me, let me here you say ayo

[joe budden]

nah, it aint pills

so if i aint myself as of late it relates to another ordeal

don’t suggest out ya mouth that maybe i’m stressed out or its god tryna test mouse

everything about me is changing and its new to me

i’m 29 going through a new puberty

unusually the n-ggas that make moves take cues from me and say that i’m acting real foolishly

well let me just explain my state

i’m thinking at whole nother rate

i hungry but i’m ordering with my eyes so there’s too much on my plate

which means i can’t digest what i just ate

wait, i’m paying too much, stop me or pop me for oxy?

i’m not me, will somebody stop me or copy

and tell calm down n-gga, relax

i tell em calm down let me relapse

[emanny - chorus]

[joe budden - verse 2]

yo, they telling me, the change is significant

standing in the front but can’t see what they witnessing

i’m tryna take criminals, litigants, goon type n-ggas and turn em into business men

change thinking patterns, give em business sense

make ‘em model citizens, hang me if it’s a sin

watch the cash come, patience i’m past

i’m tryna create demand for a girl who never had none

be more bright, you fighting me all night

we’ll if i died tomorrow i’mma make sure you be alright

turn students in to teachers, followers to leaders

but i strain my arm the further i try to reach it

don’t mis-read it, i aint book smart but lets stay on the same page, let me be the bookmark

i know more, i can’t take no more so i show more

i kill me so you can have anything you hope for

[chorus]

[joe budden - verse 2]

ay, you ever try pulling a hat trick without magic

shit, i’m doing outta habit, it’s outta habit

cause i’ll flair up, high temper i’ll react quick

and go and try to fist fight a n-gga without a ratchet

it’s funny, we all go and ask for wealth

but won’t none of us, ask for help

well maybe i need to get some

and i’m like f-ck giving n-gga’s a fish

follow me and i’mma teach you how to get one

still they tell me i’m delusional

but there’s other n-ggas under this illusion too

it’s karma catching up and mis-using dudes

i can’t think straight, look at what confusion’ll do

so i sink my knees in the floor

gotta be something new gotta be in store?

i make bored outta bad hand

trust me i got an exact plan

i’m a genius not a mad man

[chorus]

"Ordinary Love Sh-t (Pt. 2)" Lyrics - Joe Budden

Joe Budden - Ordinary Love Sh-t (Pt. 2) Lyrics and Video

She feel like she don’t have a voice in this relationship

I’m thinking boo you got a choice so why you taking it

Certain sh-t I wouldn’t stand for

I’m giving her my all but she demands more

I wish she would understand more

Certain sh-t you couldn’t plan for

I’m guessing I love you and your worth it

I should take some time out and figure if you deserve this

but you just think that I’m full of it

We both come from backgrounds of bullshit

I’m fortunate that that aint what you see in me

I’ll stop lying to you once you start believing me

But I’m always who you wanna bring the questions to

It’s less about me hiding shit and more about me rejecting you

It’s totally different the way our minds are made up

To me flirtings natural, to her it’s cause for break up

To me it’s human nature she disagree with the logic

confusing being monogamous with being robotic

I talk to other girls I interact with em

You shouldn’t take that as tryna get in the sack with them

Just know how I act with you is how I act alone

I signed up for a girl not a chaperone

Besides that plan’ll backfire and now it’s onto her

She don’t take my word and now I feel I’m being monitored

And I wont you to be the one that I endured the longest

Accept me at my weakest, support me at my strongest

Bring something to the table though, earn ya keep

Then I’ll triple it and all I ask in return is peace

Aint with the arguing shit all the time

You see I’m honest to a fault but is it yours or mine

I put you through some things where you could have bolted

You want honesty or rather shit be sugar coated

I’ll put you on a list of people screaming f-ck me too

Do you want a pretty lie or the ugly truth?

Truth is you got some things that you gotta learn too

When everything that concerns me don’t concern you

Truth is you gotta a couple tainted views

And you bring up my ex as if I couldn’t do the same with you

Truth is you want me to do the kept it real

Truth is you’re too emotional and need a better filter

No third party will ruin our plan

I’d had for you to be the girl who’s too consumed with her man

So I want you to have your own plans

You to have you own ends

You to have your own life

You to have your own friends and I’ll be right beside you

I can tell that you cried

Cause you don’t bring up problems that you got with me till I do

You say that I’m out a lot and that I aint here enough

You take care of me and I’ll take care of us

I’d love to put a child in you and live lavish

But my baby momma scared me, let me tell you bout my baggage

We could have a son and break up and be done

And now I’ll never see him again

As you take him and run

You gon’ tell him that he’s fatherless

Tell him that I’m cowardly

You’ll have some resentment so you’ll start acting childishly

You’ll rake me in court cause of course you’ll have it out for me

To you it may sound obsurd but for me it’s a reality

Still at times it seems like you’re not proud of me

Though I’m showing you the best man I know how to be

But you keep saying show me more

You’d appreciate me better had you known me before

You’ve never been cheated on

had another chick in your house in your bed

You, you aint seen the worst time

Hit you with that old move

Take you to a flick that I’ve already seen with another broad

but pretend like it’s my first time

And, ya don’t know how that sound

On the phone with you, while she quiet in the background

Bunch of shit that I aint in a hurry to do

So before I beef, know that he got buried for you

I dont tell you that for points, nah, you can keep the brownies

I tell you so that you know I was mature when you found me

Tell you so you know that little boy shit that I get annoyed with

You should keep it coy with

Cause all that is, is stress for me

I’m not ya ex baby girl

you not a catch for me

I mean respectfully, certain shit I’m not….

Joe Budden - Role Reversal Lyrics

[Joe Budden]
I be at the mall, walk up in the store
Glance up at the wall, pick out a few kicks
I need 11′s in these, matter of fact while you at it bring em’ in a size 6
I take shorty’s shoes off, like here try on these J’s make sure them shits fit
But in my head it gets thick, saying “Joey fall back, cuz thats not your kid”
I don’t know you lil n-gga, and plus I got a son of my own
But he’s at home and the ways hes being raised I don’t really condone
Naw, cuz his pops been gone, f-ck it ill explain it to him later when he’s grown
Old enough to have a phone
Asking why mommy hate me and he got the sneak to call me whenever he’s alone so
You wouldn’t know it but I got a soft spot for you
See, we would shared the same obstacles
Looking from the outside may seem like you neglect him
But when he slips up and calls me dad, I correct him
I protect him, when baby girl start venting about you I say “Respect him!”
And though it seems out of order, my own mistakes have turned me into your biggest supporter
Fast forward, you wouldn’t believe how I could love like mine what I didn’t conceive
Trying to help him reach sh-t what I never achieved
Am I doing it for him or is it my own greed cause see,
Me and my baby moms, we don’t do the conversations
Some cramped in the back, 2 bedroom shack
With 7 people living there just congregating
So when your child with me, I’m over compensated
I’m talking 8 bedrooms 7 baths
My son thinking, that’s the sh-t that only heaven has
Mines gotta keep it cool, your’s get to see the view
White marble around the end ground, heated pool
Mines got to go through the “why”
Sh-t, yours just got to walk outside
And the funny shit, the irony of it all and its just sad
Is You walked away and I’m the step dad
And then you get on Skype, saying “how you being, whats the word”
And I be on the background listening like “this mudaf-ckers he got some nerve”
He says “bye daddy, I love you”
I be wanting to snuff you but wouldn’t want him thinking less of you
But, hes perceptive and this sh-ts wild, he picks up on everything and hes just a child
So through all my resistance, I’m afraid this 2 year old can already see the difference
He see’s you don’t provide when you’re capable
Why we never fix things while were still able too?
So you’re annoyed, it kinda of hampers me
Get my boy, I always wanted a family
Just to greet when I get to the door
You gon have to take the L, I cant give you your’s
I’ll do all the work, you aint gotta be bothered
You can be his dad, ill be his father
I relate though, so I know it hurts
Got to be uncomfortable when the roles reversed

Joe Budden - 1000 Faces Lyrics

[Joe Budden]
Thug changes

Now we were once two n-ggas of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
Sorta, honestly Ill never guessed you were a hoarder
And all that would manifest cause of what we both thought of her
So im like “how could you get mad of what she thought of me”
I found out seasons don’t only change quarterly
Cuz you got bended, it was real fickle
With me saying “girls are a dime a dozen” knew a n-gga with a nickel
I guess nobody told him that gossip and slander is not the answer
Wish I’da known that she woulda flipped out of propaganda
Ice in my veins, some people are less skilled
And he brought me up on charges when his ego got killed
When my friends in doubt, they learned a valuable lesson bout
In 30 years I ain’t reckon how to reconcile
What hurts more? The act of getting cut off
Or realizing that your 2 cents wasn’t worth

[Joe Budden - Verse 2]
Check it, nothing could help somebody switch up more then thirst can
I seen the ill effect that fame can have first hand
And I to blame for the person that you became
When you’re already on that path its so hard for me to explain
Look, some indicate that im watching who I never met
I see some things happening now that you would never let
Fewer in your right mind, were you showing me the right person at the right time
Or were you trying to make it easy? didn’t really please you to please me
Did that make you change everything about you to appease me?
My prides in shambles, wondering why and when did you decide to gamble
Or are you competing with Mya Campbell
When did that become suitable?
How could you make something so ugly out of what was once beautiful
Next time beauty’s headed towards me I plan to dodge
Until I see its not just being used as a camouflage


[Joe Budden - Verse 3]
Only reason I continue to antagonize
just my way of bringing truth into a pack of lies
Reveals peoples true colors, moves a bad disguise
Even though its something I predicted I just act surprised
That way an arm never jinx on me
Drunk mouse, sober tongue homie drinks on me
That way im protected, yall got no choice but to respect it
Seen too many come and go to be affected
And how is it not expected
Im hip to what its bound to be
And then relations combined, they weigh a pound to me
And so the bullshit, make sure its tasteful when its done
You can keep your 1000 faces, just try being faithful to one

Joe Budden - Sober Up Lyrics

[Joe Budden]
I broke down a while ago
finally picking up the pieces
memoirs I had are undefeated
I feel depleted
I dont talk to God as a matter of fact I plead with
At times I hate my reflection and others I’m conceited
half the time I’m arrogant other times I’m vengeful
at times it’s to convince me, at times it’s to convince you
done a lot of wrong but I aint never felt resentful
its been so many times I’ve lost track of who to repent to
half the time I’m in the cut
dont want you to notice me
roll with me and you’ll see that I’m only awkward socially
half the time I’m spiteful, double barrell rifle
I owe so many payback I fee l like I got the right too
so if you need a case in point you can refer to budden
and it will prove that pain killers never murdered nothing
all it did was make me succumb put ice in me
now revenge is the place it takes me from
Im strong..

[Chorus]
Strong enough to catch contact (?)
smell it as soon as you get in my ride
see with me, rules never apply
dont tell me how I should live my life
put your seat back, got it if you need that
you should really f-ck with me
tell me if you wanna ride or die, la la la la la la la la

[Joe Budden Verse 2]
Listen up as the center reports
my inner thoughts are like a inner war
head exact as a trembling force on my mental ward
men are distraught
every word fromt his sentence the boss
it’s brought to you like the people your ministers Porsche
tight roping on dental floss
before the haters begin to get lost
coke and weed got my temperment off
but why would my temper get lost
when as soon as the temperature frost I’m probably
having intercourse in a resort
criminal report, pricey condo’s at a minimal cost
my train of thought aint as simple as yours
so if our paths happen to accidentally cross
I pray that you can overlook all my minature flaws
until then lets let the bass kick
take the shots great I dont see a need to chase it
trying to fight the urge til there’s something to replace it
I welcome ya’ll to be my co-pilots on this spaceship

[Chorus]

[Joe Budden - Verse 3]
Yo, me and the game would get so blunted
we’d order take out from the chinese stores
they make sure you bring change for a hundred
rob em, safety on the metal’s off
figured if we beat the breaks off em
then how the f-ck was he gon pedal off
some live and die by the high, I was born by it
since Pac gave my mom the needle like go on try it
got me feeling like aint a n-gga can harm me
so I go and scoop a mommy that wanna come join the army
she was so militant, disciplined, dilligent
so I whispered to her, bet you wouldnt mind shilling it
I got to know her on my sofa
I gave her my honourable discharge and she took like a soldier
since she the type you gotta watch when she come around
really she only get high so she can come down
lost her when I said she aint gotta settle
once you start to handle life you’ll be on the same level


[Chorus]

[Crooked I]
When I was five this what my father said
I should have pulled you out and left you on your momma’s waterbed
you asked me, my poppa’s dead
alcoholic jeans from him since a toddler bottle fed
put me on your stainless I’m brainless, I’m a hollow head
my life was the crazyiest
surprised I’m even walking, can you blame me if I’m atheist
but I aint Stephen Hawkings
I know God is in my radius
I can see him walking in the face of an innocent baby but not when preacher,s talking
my people sleep in coffins I miss em I’m breaking down in the face of a bad b-tch that I’m supposed to be taking down
baby ride while I’m crying, I’m dying inside
cause my pain is beside a giant lethiathon and I’m hiding from the World
they hit me with everything but the kitchen sink
how ironic? same place I vomit when I lick a drink
apparently I need to get a shrink
how can therapy take care of me when I don’t give a f-ck what n-ggas think!

[Chorus]
