[Intro:] Sl Parks on the board Real n****s in the booth, let's go I got Kdot on the keys It go (it go) Check this, listen [Verse:] I got strangers in my face Beggin' me to take a picture Still self-centered, they can give a f**k 'bout how a n***a feel B*****s hang around to hang around even when s**t get real But I ain't left nothin', maybe I should write a different will They usin' me I'm usin' them, they don't see the angle Therapeutic, I don't even f**k 'em unless it's painful Why do all these b*****s seem to think they can change Joe? Judge me all you want I never claim to be an angel Patriotic, psychotic, obsessive-compulsive, convulsive, neurotic On narcotics, searchin' for you if you got it Seein' young blacks gettin' killed weekly that's a moot fact If these coppers shoot at me, trust me I'mma shoot back Maybe y'all 'll pray for me But I don't mean once or even twice, I mean every day for me So I'm on my knees, there's gotta be a better way for me Open these windows and these doors but demons stay with me And baby that's okay with me [Hook:] I came in with my heart, what made you wanna leave? F**k with my heart and now it's killin' me This be enough to make a n***a cry I wish 'em well until this runnin' dry They won't ever take me alive All I ever do is survive And I know cause they already tried It's too late cause I've already died At least inside, they'll never take me alive [Verse 2:] Lemme get far as f**k away from these n****s F**k away from these hoes Where I'm at now its f**k music I don't wanna rap I don't wanna perform or host And my father's sayin' "get it together" and nothin' matters but my health Hope heaven reserved a section for an addict like myself Watchin' myself on tv see my knees shaking on that show Plus the way shorty's life is now, I bet she's rethinking that "no" She thought she was only sayin' no to marriage But that "no" is to so much more, now I can't wait to see what her path is I guess being a wife ain't sound as fun as bein' a bad b***h Couldn't deal with my habits, wasn't me though you'd been catfish We're speakin' a different language Showin' you the signs in morse code Last time a n***a loved two b*****s I lost 'em both So she scared, try not to get emotionally invested I know God will find a way for those emotions to get tested Which is cool, maybe not for me Front all you want in your heart somewhere I know there's a spot for me The sad part is what is vacant now be gone How I love you but I hate you And all you're doing is being the person that I made you From hateful to graceful From rageful to grateful Then God came and snatched that space for you I tried to save it boo Everything I caught myself building to that point was made for two Writing out the script, wish you'd a told me the page was full But f**k it, He knows better than I Regret'll subside, let's sever the ties After all it's just one less goodbye [Hook:] [Verse 3:] Lemme get far as f**k away from these b*****s F**k away from these hoes Lemme get far as f**k away from my n****s Lemme get real close to my foes They tellin' me that I gotta act famous now, etcetera I been regular, so I feel like an a*** now See all of this time I've just been treatin' y'all accordingly On an even plane like no one is any less or more than me But the Lord agrees he said, "keep playin' with fire, if you're Joseph you'll get burned" I hate second guessing I'll wait 'til the motives get confirmed (..) Call from the shorty, we off that b***h, option time Models, sport some All these cities, I got to tour one All these bottles, I got to pour one All these hoes, I got to call one Our situation is a tall one, what you gonna do, pour or run? So I'm spending forty thousand dollars on a time-piece Help my self esteem and get this s**t up off my mind please Anybody lookin' for me, y'all know where to find me I be right up Steinway n***a I ain't playing hide and seek Let that liquor induce ya, then watch how fast it go from a couple n****s on the hookah To some triggers, to them shooters, everything that's going on is kinda sicker than I'm used to I'm just wrestling with them snakes, you ever kick it with Medusa? Let me get the f**k away from these pills The f**k away from this drinkin' Let me get the f**k away outta my way Let me get far as f**k away from my thinkin' 'Till it's better, it's whatever, s**t I'm unapologetic Since all I got is my word n***a tell 'em that I said it It's Joe [Hook:] Uhh, uhh, uhh It go [Hook:]
