[Intro:]
2
Sl
3
Parks on the board
4
Real niggas in the booth, let's go
5
I got Kdot on the keys
6
It go (it go)
7
Check this, listen
8
[Verse:]
9
I got strangers in my face
10
Beggin' me to take a picture
11
Still self-centered, they can give a fuck 'bout how a nigga feel
12
Bitches hang around to hang around even when shit get real
13
But I ain't left nothin', maybe I should write a different will
14
They usin' me I'm usin' them, they don't see the angle
15
Therapeutic, I don't even fuck 'em unless it's painful
16
Why do all these bitches seem to think they can change Joe?
17
Judge me all you want I never claim to be an angel
18
Patriotic, psychotic, obsessive-compulsive, convulsive, neurotic
19
On narcotics, searchin' for you if you got it
20
Seein' young blacks gettin' killed weekly that's a moot fact
21
If these coppers shoot at me, trust me I'mma shoot back
22
Maybe y'all 'll pray for me
23
But I don't mean once or even twice, I mean every day for me
24
So I'm on my knees, there's gotta be a better way for me
25
Open these windows and these doors but demons stay with me
26
And baby that's okay with me
27
[Hook:]
28
I came in with my heart, what made you wanna leave?
29
Fuck with my heart and now it's killin' me
30
This be enough to make a nigga cry
31
I wish 'em well until this runnin' dry
32
They won't ever take me alive
33
All I ever do is survive
34
And I know cause they already tried
35
It's too late cause I've already died
36
At least inside, they'll never take me alive
37
[Verse 2:]
38
Lemme get far as fuck away from these niggas
39
Fuck away from these hoes
40
Where I'm at now its fuck music I don't wanna rap
41
I don't wanna perform or host
42
And my father's sayin' "get it together" and nothin' matters but my health
43
Hope heaven reserved a section for an addict like myself
44
Watchin' myself on tv see my knees shaking on that show
45
Plus the way shorty's life is now, I bet she's rethinking that "no"
46
She thought she was only sayin' no to marriage
47
But that "no" is to so much more, now I can't wait to see what her path is
48
I guess being a wife ain't sound as fun as bein' a bad bitch
49
Couldn't deal with my habits, wasn't me though you'd been catfish
50
We're speakin' a different language
51
Showin' you the signs in morse code
52
Last time a nigga loved two bitches I lost 'em both
53
So she scared, try not to get emotionally invested
54
I know God will find a way for those emotions to get tested
55
Which is cool, maybe not for me
56
Front all you want in your heart somewhere
57
I know there's a spot for me
58
The sad part is what is vacant now be gone
59
How I love you but I hate you
60
And all you're doing is being the person that I made you
61
From hateful to graceful
62
From rageful to grateful
63
Then God came and snatched that space for you
64
I tried to save it boo
65
Everything I caught myself building to that point was made for two
66
Writing out the script, wish you'd a told me the page was full
67
But fuck it, He knows better than I
68
Regret'll subside, let's sever the ties
69
After all it's just one less goodbye
70
[Hook:]
71
[Verse 3:]
72
Lemme get far as fuck away from these bitches
73
Fuck away from these hoes
74
Lemme get far as fuck away from my niggas
75
Lemme get real close to my foes
76
They tellin' me that I gotta act famous now, etcetera
77
I been regular, so I feel like an anus now
78
See all of this time I've just been treatin' y'all accordingly
79
On an even plane like no one is any less or more than me
80
But the Lord agrees he said, "keep playin' with fire, if you're Joseph you'll get burned"
81
I hate second guessing I'll wait 'til the motives get confirmed
82
(..)
83
Call from the shorty, we off that bitch, option time
84
Models, sport some
85
All these cities, I got to tour one
86
All these bottles, I got to pour one
87
All these hoes, I got to call one
88
Our situation is a tall one, what you gonna do, pour or run?
89
So I'm spending forty thousand dollars on a time-piece
90
Help my self esteem and get this shit up off my mind please
91
Anybody lookin' for me, y'all know where to find me
92
I be right up Steinway nigga I ain't playing hide and seek
93
Let that liquor induce ya, then watch how fast it go from a couple niggas on the hookah
94
To some triggers, to them shooters, everything that's going on is kinda sicker than I'm used to
95
I'm just wrestling with them snakes, you ever kick it with Medusa?
96
Let me get the fuck away from these pills
97
The fuck away from this drinkin'
98
Let me get the fuck away outta my way
99
Let me get far as fuck away from my thinkin'
100
'Till it's better, it's whatever, shit I'm unapologetic
101
Since all I got is my word nigga tell 'em that I said it
102
It's Joe
103
[Hook:]
104
Uhh, uhh, uhh
105
