[Intro: Joe Budden]<br />

<br />

I hear what nigga's sayin'.<br />

Nigga's gonna' talk to me like...<br />

Like when I come on the plane an' shit, Louie's on.<br />

When I sit out in front of the muh'fuckin' plane wit' the daily news wit' my legs crossed an' shit.<br />

Wanna' act like I ain't earn my seat, when I'm watchin' muh'fuckas walk to the back an' shit, when it's Coach.<br />

You Pat Riley in that shit, nigga.<br />

<br />

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]<br />

<br />

Look here,<br />

<br />

Look, look...<br />

<br />

I get a ghetto gospel<br />

Only right considerin' the ghetto was my hostile.<br />

Memory is gone, but I'm recallin' all through highschool<br />

Even at my lowest, I was sittin' on my highstool;<br />

That's what bein' high do.<br />

If I couldn't do shit, was always able ta' toke<br />

They tol' me that a nigga die 'fore I was able ta' vote.<br />

'Prolly 'cause me an' my constituents<br />

An' all the shit we did<br />

The MRI couldn't tell you what the issue is.<br />

Wit' my treason came a cause that I believed in<br />

Is it really wrong if a nigga got a reason?<br />

At times I had ta' take doe<br />

Nigga did whatever for a peso<br />

Bein' from the hood'll be my scapegoat.<br />

A can it be, 'cause I wasn't born into a canopy<br />

Maybe I was prone to fallin' in love wit' vanity<br />

Tell me shit'chu reap is the shit'chu sow<br />

Tell God I'm better than the shit I show<br />

I gotta grow, c'mon.<br />

<br />

[Hook]<br />

<br />

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]<br />

<br />

Whoa...<br />

<br />

Now look...<br />

<br />

Now niggas say I floss too much<br />

So... has he changed?<br />

'Cause I don't think that thousand-dollar T cost too much.<br />

All they should say is that he strong<br />

Came out the fire unscathed, ye', I carried on<br />

Lu Vuitton carry on.<br />

[??] wit' my blessing's at a delay<br />

Now ta' lace my chick in [??] is sorta' clich?.<br />

Plane ain't gonn' ever land, less it's in the Netherlands<br />

Twenty on that goldface, Breitling wit' the leather band.<br />

Ask for a better hand<br />

I tried collidin' wit my problems, ye', I never ran<br />

That'll make me less a man.<br />

I ain't go from not havin' it ta' bein' arrogant<br />

I dreamt, went grabbin' it, jus' bein' passionate.<br />

Some niggas get complaints an' why...<br />

Dude's is newborn birds, jus' afraid ta' fly.<br />

If you're foot's on the breaks, can't ride.<br />

Me, I spread my wings, inhale an' embrace that high!<br />

<br />

[Hook]<br />

<br />

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]<br />

<br />

Give it away, give it away, give it away now [x3]<br />

<br />

Look, look, look...<br />

<br />

Part of me was gruesome<br />

I ain't changed, I grew some<br />

An' if I did change, I welcomed that shit to come.<br />

Dudes that smoked trees wit' me<br />

Dudes that used ta' be wit' me<br />

They say I switched up on 'em an' did a three-sixty.<br />

'Cause I don't burn it down<br />

But to me it's commonsense -<br />

You wann' see the otherside, gott' turn aroun'.<br />

Show 'em your game face -<br />

I tell 'em we was on the same track, but wasn't runnin' that same race.<br />

Weighin' in the same space, but I ain't gonn' change pace<br />

Some' won't let me slowdown, I can't explain fate.<br />

So don't say I went from broke ta' booshie<br />

I'm far from highend I jus' know what suits me, muh'fucka.<br />

<br />

[Hook]<br />
