Joe Budden - Downfall songtekst

Je score:



[Verse 1]

Last thing I'm tryna be is the good guy now 

I ain't never gave a fuck, why should I now 

Like the World's interrupting my song, with an interlude 

can't you'll see I'm busy trying to balance out my chemical 

finishing up, what you ain't even begin to do 

when your backs against the ropes it's either him or you 

ya'll ain't so important that my words are meant for you 

when did everybody become so sensual 

caught up in the he say, she say 

blog sites, him and her, broke up 

World star, Nah right 

dumb fans, they believe, everything that y'all write 

found out, friends fake, couldn't even facade right 

pressures on, wont fail 

nigga got too much to prove 

would have been, lost it, but I got too much to lose 

say what you want about Joe but I stood my ground 

bitch, I get it up myself you just put it down 

they say I put my whole on display, to my dismay 

stop it, you carry-in on without logic 

let me tell you this about Joe 

I only say you what I want you to hear 

you only see what I want to show 

crushing up the percepts 

chasing the high, sadly 

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried 

the forecast shows a downpour 

y'all just made God cry, praying for my downfall 



This the shit I'm talking bout right here, let me tell you niggas something 

You can be anything in this World that you want, except for my downfall. 

Check this 



[Verse 2] 

I'm a victim of society 

circumstance or just feelings 

was a nigga victimized or just willing 

no blinds, no bags, just dealing 

no foundation or floor plan, just building 

check it, nights bright but the day's dark 

covered in tattoo's, but hate art 

these egg shell's I walk on are razor sharp 

staring at the finish line, looking for a way to start 

I've been called everything, an extremist 

is that a bad thing or what they really mean is 

anything a nigga do, a nigga mean it 

and I won't let a person place a thing come between it 

an opportunist is how they paint me 

but if the nigga only knock once can you blame me 

still I feel like my problems are great 

shit if I don't ever solve em I'm straight 

on the bright side, God chose me to put a lot on my plate 

so I figured I wouldn't be bothered by the weight 

I'm trying to change the pattern but it's on loop 

even an outcast in my own group 

what's it mean when everybody standing next to you 

expects of you everything that comes with a spectacle 

if everywhere I go I just leave behind residue 

tell me, trust me, I won't think nothing less of you 



[Chorus] 

I'm sorry I ain't around more 

come up with me or stay on the ground floor 

I don't need shelter from the downpour 

Y'all could be whatever you want, just not my downfall 

they tryna make me slow, tryna take me, NO! 

can't be my downfall 

they tryna knock my grind 

I won't stop, I'm fine 

Can't be my downfall 



[Verse 3] 

No moment of clarity 

the next fight showing is a rarity 

severity of me against my growing popularity 

rappers won't rap, I'm forced to believe they scared of me 

but can no longer use the escape goat they not aware of me 

so y'all can go and throw your little pot shots 

some dudes dissed me and temporarily got hot 

I'm getting my head right recollected 

Y'all looking for some website resurrection 

being that I got too much to lose 

or maybe a slight chance that a nigga guilty 

of all that I'm accused 

no longer amused 

affected my loved ones, now 

they starting to bruise 

and I don't want no parts of that abuse 

wouldn't wish it upon my worst foe a day in my shoes 

that'll just eliminate any excuse 

and why entertain em 

old me would' a lost my sense's 

y'all just helping the new me regain em 

been punched in the face, 

it was either feed my family 

or hunt with a .38 

and I ain't want brunch to wait 

I've outgrown hip hop 

turned into a day care 

so next time so shit is on my mind, it'll stay there 

I'm staring at the man in the mirror 

but it ain't helping see the man any clearer 

so I get MIA from around y'all 

till God stops answering these prayers for my downfall 



[Chorus] 



[Verse 4] 

Tell me what am I to do 

if I ain't have a soul a nigga always had you 

pardon Dude, but I gotta speak candidly 

How the FUCK!!! could you abandon me 

with 5 years of blood sweat and tears 

but there was obviously a disconnect 

we turned that into a disrespect 

said she been holding it inside for years, she's unhappy 

so the girl I wanna marry was afraid to come and tap me 

so I went away on tour 

and you went on one of your own 

and while you was on the horn all day, with old boy 

did you ever think about what it would do to your home 

what's his name, where's he live 

what is it he offers? what's he got to give? 

and I love you so much that when I caught onto your fibs 

I hit you like a man, you wore it in your ribs 

I was heated, but had to be strong enough to remove the infidelity 

and see what's underneath it 

come to find out you felt lied to and cheated 

mistreated and kept it a big secret 

or are you just loose 

and I'm so naive I'm tryna give you an excuse 

now that I refuse to believe 

we life partners, holy water on whatever devil comes and try to part us 

can't use anything I ever gave you to bury me 

you supposed to be the one that bury me 

you want to leave than goodbye 

think the grass look greener on the other side 

but it's dye
