| [00:00.719][Intro:] |
|
| [00:02.939] |
Mic check, mic check 1-2 1-2 |
| [00:07.589] |
Made a lot of mishaps, lot of mistakes, lot of missteps |
| [00:15.373] |
Grown shit though, is when you can recognize that |
| [00:18.665] |
And I recognize that, and real recognize that |
| [00:25.849] |
Talk to em... |
| [00:26.240][Verse 1:] |
|
| [00:31.543] |
Last word, check it, unbeatable force, insurmountable object |
| [00:36.611] |
Bull should've known better than counting me out, I'm from the projects |
| [00:40.399] |
So if I ever do it for greed, indeed something is wrong |
| [00:42.985] |
Prepare for the future, remember I used to get heat from the oven on |
| [00:46.224] |
They wanted to see Budden gone, fiend'd out on sour |
| [00:49.411] |
But nobody helped put Budden on, had to bring my own power so |
| [00:53.199] |
I'm having a private party, that only myself attends |
| [00:56.333] |
And if the DJ plays the song to my soul, it'll give itself a cleanse |
| [00:59.573] |
They telling me all the pain I ever felt was self-infringed |
| [01:03.047] |
But I had help from friends, one even held the syringe |
| [01:06.312] |
Architect of my own path, I'd like to think it's designed the best |
| [01:09.551] |
Defied the odds, I never aged while giving time a test |
| [01:12.686] |
No niggas on house arrest, I'm on a minor rest |
| [01:15.978] |
You trying to call me or text me, don't even bother, I'm trying to give mine a rest |
| [01:19.373] |
I got a treasure but it's content is invisible |
| [01:22.534] |
Was filled before with shit that I thought I treasured, but made me miserable |
| [01:26.322] |
My affairs together, here forever, yeah I'm back to work |
| [01:29.169] |
Learned in order to lose love, probably gotta have it first |
| [01:33.715][Verse 2:] |
|
| [01:39.462] |
My life's a crap shoot, my dice are loaded, ain't no stopping me |
| [01:42.387] |
Most interesting man, a hard place is between a rock and me |
| [01:46.018] |
I'm torn within, and my eyes are heavy |
| [01:49.780] |
I'm born again, just means I died already |
| [01:52.392] |
Means I survived already, so **** they want with me? |
| [01:55.736] |
World been against me so long, misery hates my company |
| [01:58.844] |
Isolated my whole life, not many know who Joseph is |
| [02:02.293] |
In order to reciprocate love, you gotta notice it |
| [02:05.898] |
Gotta recognize it, gotta feel it first |
| [02:09.293] |
Gotta be let inside it, feel it's hurt and then kneel to it's worst |
| [02:12.689] |
If you contain it, don't hide it, gotta reveal it first |
| [02:15.746] |
And when you think you hit rock bottom, gotta feel it worse |
| [02:18.828] |
Or, my rule book is just dated |
| [02:22.041] |
And for you to truly appreciate it, you gotta at least be hated |
| [02:25.385] |
Mama I made it, if anyone know my way was hard |
| [02:28.598] |
They prayed for my Downfall on deaf ears, I was praying to God |
| [02:32.046] |
So God, I loved love till it resented me |
| [02:35.338] |
And if it's still a stranger, then I love who it pretends to be |
| [02:41.999][Outro:] |
|
| [02:45.264] |
No Love Lost |
| [02:51.351] |
No love found |
| [02:54.877] |
They found a little bit though |
| [02:59.945] |
I don't know where they found it out, but it was there |
| [03:04.882] |
So I guess the moral of the story, |
| [03:08.226] |
Is as you mature, so will it |
| [03:11.804] |
Just gotta find it |
| [03:18.544] |
One... |
