Joe Budden - Better Me lyrics

[Intro: Joe Budden] I hear what n***a's sayin'. n***a's gonna' talk to me like... Like when I come on the plane an' sh**, Louie's on. When I sit out in front of the muh'f**in' plane wit' the daily news wit' my legs crossed an' sh**. Wanna' act like I ain't earn my seat, when I'm watchin' muh'f**as walk to the back an' sh**, when it's Coach. You Pat Riley in that sh**, n***a. [Verse 1: Joe Budden] Look here, Look, look... I get a ghetto gospel Only right considerin' the ghetto was my hostile. Memory is gone, but I'm recallin' all through highschool Even at my lowest, I was sittin' on my high stool; That's what bein' high do. If I couldn't do sh**, was always able ta' toke They tol' me that a n***a die 'fore I was able ta' vote. 'Prolly 'cause me an' my constituents An' all the sh** we did The MRI couldn't tell you what the issue is. Wit' my treason came a cause that I believed in Is it really wrong if a n***a got a reason? At times I had ta' take doe n***a did whatever for a peso Bein' from the hood'll be my scapegoat. A "can it be", 'cause I wasn't born into a canopy Maybe I was prone ta' fallin' in love wit' vanity. Tell me sh**'chu reap is the sh**'chu sow Tell God I'm better than the sh** I show I gotta grow, c'mon. [Hook] [Verse 2: Joe Budden] Whoa... Now look... Now n***as say I floss too much So... has he changed? 'Cause I don't think that thousand-dollar T cost too much. All they should say is that he strong Came out the fire unscathed, ye', I carried on Lu Vuitton carry on. ?? wit' my blessing's at a delay Now ta' lace my chick in ?? is sorta' cliché. Plane ain't gonn' never land, less it's in the Netherlands Twenty on that goldface, Breitling wit' the leather band. Ask for a better hand I tried collidin' wit my problems, ye', I never ran That'll make me less a man. I ain't go from not havin' it ta' bein' arrogant I dreamt, went grabbin' it, jus' bein' pa**ionate. Some n***as get complaints an' why... Dude's is newborn birds, jus' afraid ta' fly. If you're foot's on the breaks, can't ride. Me, I spread my wings, inhale an' embrace that high! [Hook] [Verse 3: Joe Budden] Give it away, give it away, give it away now [x3] Look, look, look... Part of me was gruesome I ain't changed, I grew some An' if I did change, I welcomed that sh** to come. Dudes that smoked trees wit' me Dudes that used ta' be wit' me They say I switched up on 'em an' did a three-sixty. 'Cause I don't burn it down But to me it's commonsense - You wann' see the otherside, gott' turn aroun'. Show 'em your game face - I tell 'em we was on the same track, but wasn't runnin' that same race (n***a). Weighin' in the same space, but I ain't gonn' change pace Some' won't let me slowdown, I can't explain fate. So don't say I won't from broke ta' booshie I'm far from far-end I jus' know what suits me, muh'f**a. [Hook]
