[Intro: Joe Budden]

How's everybody feeling out there? We good? Let's talk to the sample right quick. I always pictured we'd be. It go like this. Listen



[Verse 1: Joe Budden]

Let me tell you how I pictured this

A few houses, a couple businesses

Striving for greatness, we would be each other's witnesses

And during beef, we both would put aside our differences

Where I ain't flinch a bit making you insignificant

Maybe kids and shit, perfect arithmetic

Meaning we could build our own world and co-exist in it

She a synergy, sharing energy

Let our souls mate in the air if you remember me

Now here's what I did with it

Went out my way to f**k these stripper chicks

Lost good girls making them mistresses

Just savages, missed marriages

They all was my babies, I needed those miscarriages

My worthless self when Joe felt hurt

I went out and targeted women who had no self worth

I relate to praying nightly feeling no spell work

When you can do it, but a stranger gotta go help first

I called moms on the phone, here's what I told her real quick

I said my 20s flew by with no control of the shit

Her next sentence swear that I'll forever hold with a grip

She said it go by even faster as the older you get

I wanna never dumb down, I'd have to lower my wit

Ain't gotta post this on the Gram for you to know what it is

A partner to trust, I'm thinking even bigger for us

Mom should've told me this when we had shit to discuss

Now neither one of us is how we figured we'd be

Sometimes the thought of what if still lives here with me

I always pictured we'd be

[Interlude: Joe Budden]

Nah'mean? That's how I see it in my head though. Ain't quite pan out like that. Word up. Let me tell you about some more of God's work though



[Hook: Stacy Barthe]

I wanna know what this life's supposed to be like

I wanna know, wanna know, ah

I wanna know what this love's supposed to be like

I wanna know, wanna know



[Interlude: Joe Budden]

Nah, I like it just like that, Parks, let it run

Lemme go right here, right here, right here

Look, Look



[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

A love that's tideful, never prideful

If you're truly better without me how can I spite you?

As I yearn for the greatest love I ever had

Pardon me, kid, I'm still learning how to be a dad

We be in spots you shouldn't be in 'till you grown

I was absent so long I'm just not leaving you home

So nah, too much to learn, too much world out there

Let me teach you about these hoes, too many girls out there

I respect your mom's tutelage

But that's my weird and my brain, what's she gon' do with this?

Watch and learn, foolish kid

Eyes light up with surprise, you're just like I am

I think that you're enjoying this ride just like I am

Look, same pedigree, theoretically

Cut from a cloth that was gone, that's just genetically

One job in life to make you a much better me

Greater feeling than I imagine this shit would ever be

You be feeling strong when you diss me in songs

I did the same my whole career, would never tell you it's wrong

Whatever works out, whatever the price, get that embedded

Even if at my expense, I'll pay it, you take the credit

Had a power struggle when I thought your mom abused it

My hands were in bondage, useless

Beyond the excuses, calm through it

It's crazy, our bond music

And we do it beautifully for our beautiful conduit

So right now I stand in a place I never stood before

Finally filled the void in my life, I wasn't good before

f**king with these hoes, that energy I was putting forth

God, this was more like the f**king love I was looking for

Now it's better than we pictured it'd be

And the supervised visits, we'll never have to relive it

Little nigga we'll be



[Interlude]

This is greater than us. Greater than me. Greater than anything I could ever imagine, man. I ain't talking to everbody. Trey, what up though? What up? What up?



[Hook: Stacy Barthe]

I wanna know what this life's supposed to be like

I wanna know, wanna know, ah

I wanna know what this love's supposed to be like

I wanna know, wanna know

I wanna know what this life's supposed to be like

I wanna know, wanna know, ah

I wanna know what this love's supposed to be like

I wanna know, wanna know
