[Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"]
|
I¡¯m stressed out so much I¡¯m like, ¡°Why stress it?¡±
|
Am I selfish for asking myself
|
¡°Would you rather count money or count blessings?¡±
|
Now that¡¯s a wild question
|
Fame turned my life upside down
|
I guess it was meant to be like passing Beyonce a Tic-Tac
|
And that ain¡¯t a diss, this way more to me than a diss track
|
Jay-Z is God to me
|
Nas is God to me!
|
Eminem is like B.I.G. and Pac to me
|
And if you disagree I hope you bleed hypocrisy!
|
And this will be the realest shit I ever wrote
|
Shoutout to all the crazy bitches I¡¯ve been involved with
|
Thank y¡¯all for making my wife a crazier bitch than y¡¯all bitches
|
Y¡¯all might¡¯ve lost me, but y¡¯all win
|
And this will be the realest shit I ever wrote
|
Now let¡¯s talk about the BET Awards
|
When Kanye went to the podium for the win
|
And mentioned everyone in the same category as him but me and Em
|
He said they motivated him
|
And normally that would be ammo to hate on him
|
But that ain¡¯t my M.O! My M.O. is to be mo¡¯ motivatin¡¯
|
This new-wave culture is so cultivatin¡¯
|
Where the fuck do I fit in?
|
And this will be the realest shit I ever wrote
|
I succumb so much to this game I feel sorrow
|
I answer more questions about the 40 and Game squabble
|
Than I answer questions that I ask myself
|
¡°Are you a good father?¡±, the answers, ¡°Well
|
Fuck this! Royce got a game tomorrow¡±
|
I ain¡¯t gotta spell out the offers
|
If being famous means speaking to people in offices
|
Over being there for your sons and daughters
|
I¡¯m off this
|
I know the last couple of lines kinda fell out of the pocket
|
But I don¡¯t give a fuck! Let me tell you this:
|
When was the last time you cop some shit where it actually came out of your pocket?
|
Answer that!
|
If I gotta answer questions from you
|
You gotta answer questions from me!
|
¡°I¡¯m fucking my whole life up for you?¡± Answer this question:
|
¡°What the fuck are you doing for me?¡± Answer that!
|
Still I love my fans, even though you all looking me like I¡¯m just this drunk nigga
|
That¡¯s just throwing up behind shit, blowing up, but nigga I ain¡¯t throwing up shit but my hands
|
And this is just me growing up
|
Courtney Artesia, Kino and Fish, please support me I need ya
|
But in reality an artist is supposed to be supported by easels
|
But in the meanwhile, I¡¯m just supported by evil
|
|
[Verse 2: Joe Budden]
|
Wattup Royce, you inspire me
|
And I picked you for the record
|
I mean, I¡¯m no longer fuckin¡¯ amused
|
I mean I addressed this shit on ¡°Cut You Loose¡±
|
How long am I supposed to stick around for this fuckin¡¯ abuse?
|
Every time I go to leave, I figure ¡°fuck is the use?¡±
|
I endure it for the true fans that covered that new
|
Or is that just another fuckin¡¯ excuse?
|
Do I do it for attention cause I crave it, I won¡¯t mention it, I¡¯ll save it
|
If you know me than you know a nigga treasure anonymity
|
Nigga thought that as a man, you must be kiddin¡¯ me
|
And I¡¯m starting to feel like my fans are now condemning me
|
Listen, I don¡¯t owe y¡¯all shit
|
Same Joe I am today is the same Joe y¡¯all get
|
Y¡¯all will interrupt a nigga while he at his place of worship
|
And think that came along with your 20 dollar purchase
|
You bought the music, not the nigga that made it
|
But let me touch up on that nigga that made it
|
If you¡¯re judging me on actions then I¡¯ll take that L every time
|
If you conclude ¡°Joe Budden is a corny mu¡¯fucker¡±
|
Cause all it mean if I¡¯m a corny mu¡¯fucker
|
Is the greatest rapper ever¡¯s just a corny mu¡¯fucker
|
My bad, I¡¯m not as street as you
|
But all this time I was being me, not being you
|
I get behind that mic, let all my demons through
|
Without knowing shit about the people that I¡¯m speaking to
|
Add that to me not seeing a reason to
|
And that says a lot in a room full of silence, listen
|
At 21 I had a drug problem
|
At 31 still drugs is a problem
|
But the thing about that pill is it made everything real
|
And I felt I needed to see
|
Funny thing about it all, I ain¡¯t like what I saw
|
Now the lord¡¯s voice is in my head like
|
¡°You¡¯ll be DEAD soon for questioning me¡±
|
Another lesson for |
