Joe Budden,
J.Garden Lets...
GO [Hook]
A wise man said we all wear a mask
At times keepin it on is too much of a task
Your face on the net, and your lifes on blast
It might slip off, you gotta give me a pass
Sometimes
I feel like a mannequin
But how they dress me dont make me the man
I am Not a rose dont hamper him
They just lookin at the clothes on a mannequin [Verse 1]
Look, look, look
I want the best cars and the best flow
I want the best broads thats how that go
I mean I want to be a star and collect dough
But even if
I had it all itd be just for show
I want the diamonds to make my neck glow (Yeah)
Lust for the next hoe a love will never let go (Talk to em!)
I want to run along from my shortcomings (BUT!)
But I smoke so my breath gonna be short running (OHH!)
I want to be in control, hands on
If Im the pilot then we will never land wrong (NEVER!)
But I want to have faith, staying strong
Take the first step when
I aint got a leg to stand on
I got a lot to give but
I want more
With numb thoughts, positive but im unsure
On the misplace, getaway and its disarray
And yall dont know the man just what he put on display (OHH!) [Hook] [Verse 2]
Im too annoyed to cope, tryna make a livin
Given I dont think that being a **** boy is ****
Out of every story, only 2 end in glory
Who am I to think
Im different than every hustler before me?
If I took my anger, became a gangbanger
I would aim to aim my anger at every stranger
Shawty wanna leave, honestly
I cant blame her
Say the ones you love the most are always in the most danger
I talk a little slower so you have to hear
Dead man walkin, no tatted tears
Or realest to ever do it, cavalier
Hundred thousand dollar car, with rabbit ears
I dont welcome change even if it help em gain
**** a handout,
Id rather be self contained
L.V everything, lookin well arranged
Yall would never know that
Im practicing self restrain [Hook] [Verse 3]
I been different, never mind
Im just indifferent
Aint an old timer that would blame it on a skin pigment
Is it my imagination or a slim figment?
Or is gent ignant, probably why im indignant
Look at haters like why is it an issue?
Is it because
Im sober but
Im on a high they cant get to?
God ?? fightin with his pride and his pitbull
God I was lied as it get to
Cursin God out 'why he decide to pick dude?'
I big bulls but when
I try its abyssmal
Die and keepin everythin inside me a riddle
But they blinded by the condo size and its sick view
Whys, try and answer the whys
What good is havin eyes when everything youlook at you despise? (can anybody hear me?)
Or do you need ears when you dont believe anything you hear?
Maybe its just something in the air [Hook]
