Joe Budden - Clothes On A Mannequin lyrics

[Talking] Good Evening [clears throat] Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to welcome everybody Please take your seats Please be seated We have a great show lined up for everybody tonight Special guest in the house tonight Joe Budden, J.Garden Let's...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 life's on blast It might slip off, you gotta give me a pa** Sometimes I feel like a mannequin But how they dress me don't 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 it'd 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 I'm the pilot then we will never land wrong (NEVER!) But I want to have faith, staying strong Take the first step when I ain't got a leg to stand on I got a lot to give but I want more With numb thoughts, positive but i'm unsure On the misplace, getaway and its disarray And yall don't know the man just what he put on display (OHH!) [Hook] [Verse 2] I'm too annoyed to cope, tryna make a livin Given I dont think that being a dope boy is dope Out of every story, only 2 end in glory Who am I to think I'm different than every hustler before me? If I took my anger, became a g**ner I would aim to aim my anger at every stranger Shawty wanna leave, honestly I can't 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 don't welcome change even if it help 'em gain f** a handout, I'd rather be self contained L.V everything, lookin' well arranged Y'all would never know that I'm practicing self restrain [Hook] [Verse 3] I been different, never mind I'm just indifferent Ain't 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 I'm sober but I'm on a high they can't 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 it's sick view Whys, try and answer the whys What good is havin eyes when everything you look at you despise? (can anybody hear me?) Or do you need ears when you dont believe anything you hear? Maybe it's just something in the air [Hook]
