Tsu Surf - Conversations lyrics
rate meFt. Joe Budden
(Verse: Tsu Surf)
Constantly accomplishin' all of these new accomplishments
Sometimes I wake up and feel like I ain't really accomplished shit
Honestly it's stressful, thoughts as random as this bitch that I'm next to
I know this conversation probably like pot to kettle
I need yo opinion, I could possibly be trippin'
My conclusions all the same, it be like fuck it or Smith 'n'
I need logic, I got skeletons in my closet
Won't say I'm tryna clean it up, just sort it out
Sharin' wit ya shit that I thought about
Huh, can't stop dreamin' bout
Joe, how I get these demons out?
Voices in my head I need to scream it out
Man I did bad things, I ain't proud and I ain't glad things
They was tryin' to press me, I gave 'em Jordan that's mad rings
Buncha shit, tell me how ya think I should handle it
Or manage it, fuck I wasn't ready fo' this camera shit
And Grandma's sick, god damn man Grandma's sick
Fuck I'm probably ramblin', shit here I go ramblin'
(Verse 2: Joe Budden)
Sumethin' got to give wit it
Ya don't get rid of yo demons, ya learn to live wit it
4/5th in the capsule, painkillers fo' the nights ya get sick wit it
Blind's is ova yo eyes, nigga shit's vivid
Get livid
Shit twisted, it'll happen like a bad disaster
Niggas see ya like a battle rapper
But ya yo own worst enemy so when ya leave SMACK, ya have to have the real battle after
(Verse 3: [Tsu Surf)
Ya right, but I lost three homies in like 4 weeks
Same place I call home, nothin' 'bout Newark sweet
And I don't keep it on me just so I could hold heat
I keep it cause the reaper layin' niggas in these cold streets
If I go, how my daughter gon' eat?
How I'm gon' tell my wife I'm wrong, how my mama gon' sleep?
Sheesh, they say when ya speak it ya bring it in the flesh
A few my niggas next, and I'm feelin' like a nigga next
(Verse 4: Joe Budden)
Nigga stop it
Ya got time on yo side like that Glock is, that paranoia got ya obnoxious
Let me paint an angle, ya ain't lose friends ya gained angels
So befo' bed ya should be saying 'thank u'
And oh, far as yo seed just be there and stay put
I only see mine on my baby mother's Facebook
Ya got a hand in rap and one in the streets
Got to be faithful to one when them two sides meet
(Verse 5: Tsu Surf)
Me and my baby mama tried to work it out again
Same results, was just runnin' her mouth again
Pushed me away, I won't lie I dipped out again
Here I go tryna freshly paint an old house again
Do they always leave wit more than they came wit?
Text ya like they changed, turn around and be the same bitch
Man I need answers Joe, I need answers
(Verse 6: Joe Budden)
Look, get ya some shit to roll, a lil cancer
Get ya a stack of ones, a couple dancers
They'll make ya king fo' the night, or maybe chancellor
She'll think ya still in the hood, standin' on Chancellor
Baby mom's wild wheneva they get to chance to
Useless arguments I neva, been a fan of
That's eighteen years of dealin' wit the banter
Restrainin' order, she'll violate if ya don't ban her
That's payback fo' all the bullshit she think ya hand her
(Verse 7: Tsu Surf)
Okay well, Tylenol bottles full of Xans
Couple 100s, couple bitches now I guess I got plans
Can't let her get the best of me
First she say fuck it now she paragraph textin' me
I'm the reason we like this, well allegedly
Thoughts all scrambled, otha bitches keep eggin' me
Bugging out, fall asleep, creeping turn to breakfast in anotha house
Wild sex wit bitches that barely give they number out
Always start wit a chill
Befo' the sex, befo' the feelings, befo' shit get real
I felt like I ain't need her, felt shit change and started confidin' in Karisha
Swear it was somethin' I ain't mean to do
Then stopped givin' a fuck when I found out she cheated too
Unbelievable, who coulda guessed a nigga stressin' said F it?
Rebounds turned into a new possession, shit is gettin' hectic
(Verse 8: Joe Budden)
New possession, same shot clock
Funny whereva I go, them same thots watch
When in V.I.P. unscrewin', playin' Ciroc top
So she think I'll jump fo' the box, playin' hopscotch
But I can't give ya girl advice
Not when I used to use girls as a vice
Shit sex was a drug, the orgasm was a high on it's own man
Knew they was addicted, they neva got wit the program
Or was it codependency? In reverse, did I need them to depend on me?
Showin' unconditional luv, no contingency
Though I knew it wouldn't last, I pretended to be
My aura neva came off as apprehensive at least
So if ya listenin' please don't take this offensively
It wasn't meant to be, ya took a ride wit the devil
Jekyll and Hyde, no wonder I was hidin' Jekyll
They couldn't take it any longer from me
So it's odd they all moved around the corner from me
Maybe they hopin' we'll run into each otha, that'll ruin ya
Sort of like a car to a deer, that's what y'all are to me, my dear
Do ya sleep betta knowin' that a part of me is near?
But I'm so out of luv ya got to pardon if I care, I swear
The distaste stems from this space
I think the luv is lost, they think it's misplaced
(Verse 9: Tsu Surf)
I think it's like, suddenly every bitch got time
When I'm back home, I be feelin' like LeBron
They say ya made it, I'm just thinkin' in my mind
I ain't made it 'til I made a safe haven fo' my mom
I think I fucked up too many times, don't think she fully understand the whole grind
Wonder if Alana know why daddy go, she can't get Doc mixed up as her daddy, bro
(Verse 10: Joe Budden)
I been there, playin' a role, couldn't take it
They told me ya got to fake it till ya make it
Against my will I tried everythin' to embrace it
And then I transformed into everythin' that I hated
I always picture me spendin' bank in the district
Then I learned ya get famous befo' ya get rich
They'll think ya ballin', ya might have to bounce on
Dudes countin' yo money ya thought that ya could count on
(Verse 11: Tsu Surf)
Called my phone tryna book me fo' a fucking battle, I'm still havin' battles of my own
Some battles I don't feel strong enough to win, even if I did I rarely win them battles wit Patrone
So pessimistic I need to stop it, this shit ain't easy
Alana called me yelling 'Daddy I see ya on T.V.'
Why I be feelin' stuck and shit?
Like this money ain't cuttin' it?
(Verse 12: Joe Budden)
Different stages, different phases
Different animals, different cages
Different charges, that's different cases
Been the same me all along wit different aces
Every month, different cops kill different faces
They indifferent, wish it was happenin' to different races
Different decade, can't tell that they different ages
Same gang, same result, just different places
(Verse 13: Tsu Surf)
I been, tryna separate my wants from my needs
Mom said I'm like my pops, 'that apple don't fall far from that tree'
I couldn't quote her, if he was anythin' like me we would definitely be closer
But she kinda got a point, man I need to roll anotha joint
So much come wit that pop shit, whoeva confronted that pop shit
Deffo wish we was closer, I hate it but I chuck it up
I was in the streets a lost cause, I'd probably fuck it up
I was younger tho, it was just a lesson
He left 'em when he really needed protection
Say he and him, I hate sayin' us
Late nights I was stayin' up, waitin'
Fell asleep thinkin' 'I hate 'em'
Cold hearted cause I got to be, he ain't have to lie to me
Man, why this shit still bother me?
(Verse 14: Joe Budden)
Hold up, we all been fatherless
At 13 I thought mine ain't want to be bothered wit
But life come at ya fast, buckle up or get buckled, there'll be harder hits
Learn to guard yo shit regardless of what is
Far as demons, got to live wit monsters at the crib
I got experience, ya need a nigga holla at the kid
And I'll tell ya how to grow up, betta than myself
Just some lessons nobody knows betta than myself
