Joe Budden - Clothes On A Mannequin lyrics
rate me<BR>
<i>[Talking]</i><br>
Good Evening<br>
<i>[clears throat]</i><br>
Ladies and gentlemen<br>
I'd like to welcome everybody<br>
Please take your seats<br>
Please be seated<br>
We have a great show lined up for everybody tonight<br>
Special guest in the house tonight<br>
Joe Budden, J.Garden<br>
Let's...GO<br>
<br>
<i>[Hook]</i><br>
A wise man said we all wear a mask<br>
At times keepin it on is too much of a task<br>
Your face on the net, and your life's on blast<br>
It might slip off, you gotta give me a pass<br>
Sometimes I feel like a mannequin<br>
But how they dress me don't make me the man I am<br>
Not a rose dont hamper him<br>
They just lookin' at the clothes on a mannequin<br>
<br>
<i>[Verse 1]</i><br>
Look, look, look<br>
I want the best cars and the best flow<br>
I want the best broads thats how that go<br>
I mean I want to be a star and collect dough<br>
But even if I had it all it'd be just for show<br>
I want the diamonds to make my neck glow (Yeah)<br>
Lust for the next hoe a love will never let go (Talk to 'em!)<br>
I want to run along from my shortcomings (BUT!)<br>
But I smoke so my breath gonna be short running (OHH!)<br>
I want to be in control, hands on<br>
If I'm the pilot then we will never land wrong (NEVER!)<br>
But I want to have faith, staying strong<br>
Take the first step when I ain't got a leg to stand on<br>
I got a lot to give but I want more<br>
With numb thoughts, positive but i'm unsure<br>
On the misplace, getaway and its disarray<br>
And yall don't know the man just what he put on display (OHH!)<br>
<br>
<i>[Hook]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Verse 2]</i><br>
I'm too annoyed to cope, tryna make a livin<br>
Given I dont think that being a dope boy is dope<br>
Out of every story, only 2 end in glory<br>
Who am I to think I'm different than every hustler before me?<br>
If I took my anger, became a gangbanger<br>
I would aim to aim my anger at every stranger<br>
Shawty wanna leave, honestly I can't blame her<br>
Say the ones you love the most are always in the most danger<br>
I talk a little slower so you have to hear<br>
Dead man walkin, no tatted tears<br>
Or realest to ever do it, cavalier<br>
Hundred thousand dollar car, with rabbit ears<br>
I don't welcome change even if it help 'em gain<br>
Fuck a handout, I'd rather be self contained<br>
L.V everything, lookin' well arranged<br>
Y'all would never know that I'm practicing self restrain<br>
<br>
<i>[Hook]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Verse 3]</i><br>
I been different, never mind I'm just indifferent<br>
Ain't an old timer that would blame it on a skin pigment<br>
Is it my imagination or a slim figment?<br>
Or is gent ignant, probably why im indignant<br>
Look at haters like 'why is it an issue?'<br>
Is it because I'm sober but I'm on a high they can't get to?<br>
God ?? fightin with his pride and his pitbull<br>
God I was lied as it get to<br>
Cursin' God out "why he decide to pick dude?"<br>
I big bulls but when I try its abyssmal<br>
Die and keepin everythin inside me a riddle<br>
But they blinded by the condo size and it's sick view<br>
Whys, try and answer the whys<br>
What good is havin eyes when everything you look at you despise? (can anybody hear me?)<br>
Or do you need ears when you dont believe anything you hear?<br>
Maybe it's just something in the air<br>
<br>
<i>[Hook]</i><br>
