8 Bars - What Y'all Want lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Budden] I can see what they mad for, sh** I would be mad too They wouldn't acknowledge me, sh** my name was taboo Could f** who I want now, should be my next tattoo Pa**ed up on your b**h, she'll settle and have you You live in a basement, me, I'm in a castle And since I'm a drop-out, that's my cap and ta**el Closest thing to a rockstar, my friends call me Axl To keep it a hundred I think the credit is past due (What y'all want) I mean, sh**'s to be expected by now When the top-tier MCs dodge, it don't annoy me If they hearing it like I am, it ain't a shock they avoid me (What y'all want) Personally, I think you n***as is beat He done battled a million times, he got yet to be beat Signed to an M&M but it's these other n***as that's sweet [Hook] (What y'all want) Top down and adopted the crown and I walk out fresh kicks and all this hatred on me And I won't give it back, so yall gonna have to take it from me (What y'all want) Shoulda got this dough by now Or should I be that n***a, I could show you how Been a few years, figured yall would know by now [Verse 2] I see why they call him lame though, I would call him lame too They wanted me out of here, but since then my fame grew Used to be on house arrest, bracelet on my ankle Couple million later and they shocked that I'm the same dude Quick big up to Wu Tang, deaded all that Meth stuff Youngin's go and look for beef, adults don't let it fester Some of yall still judge though, still believe in Esther Yall gonna let that ho stop yall from hearing what the best does? Some of yall don't know no better so yall just neglect So they'd rather compare my current girlfriend to my ex They say I'll loose my mind if Kaylin leaves me, I digress I think my track record should show what yall would think about my next Counting my money like it's gonna make you some On my dick like it's gonna make you come, bum n***as See it from my perspective, here's a little word for you You make enough bread, it eventually goes to work for you [Hook] [Verse 3] I see why they think I'm old though, I would think im old too Reinvented mad times, I keep making old new Now a n***a worldwide, back then I was local And every dude yall said was better than me then is old news Modern day present fans are fickle it's depressing One single, one album yall gone say he with the legends The veterans be pissed when we pay mind to they selections And the newbies get ga**ed every time they Jay Elect them It's n***as with more money and less respect To me that tomfoolery's dead Bottom line real n***as know what's more important And dollars ain't in attendance when that eulogy said So let's get it clear first before you compare them to me Wait a couple years, make sure they don't disappear first It'll save us some confusion Everything ain't a cla**ic and everybody ain't dope some of that is an illusion The funny thing about a label push You never know, sh** could go either way Go ahead and run along side it, end up on the wrong side of it When your life change it could be only weeks away I'm a result of the fans and deading the middle man With that logic I don't got to rely on a good day Did great on a label, did greater on my own So pick the MC of the moment and ponder could they? [Hook]
