Joe Budden - 1000 Faces lyrics

[Intro - Joe Budden - talking (echo)] Uh, a thug changes Best friends become strangers [Verse 1 - Joe Budden] Yo, now we was once two n***az of the same kind Went to holla at a hoochie with the same line Sort of, honestly I'd never guessed you were a hoarder And if that would manifest all 'cause of what we both thought of her (dog) So I'm like "how could you get mad at what she thought of me?" I found out seasons don’t only change quarterly 'Cause you got bitter, it was real fickle With me sayin "girls are a dime a dozen", knew a n***a with a nickel I guess nobody told him that gossip and slander's not the answer (nah) Wish I’d a known that you would flip out over propaganda Ice in my veins, some people are less sk**ed (what else?) And he brought me up on charges when his ego got k**ed (talk to 'em) When my friends in doubt, they learn a valuable lesson 'bout In thirty years I ain’t reckoned how to reconcile What hurts more? The act of gettin cut off Or realizin that your two cents wasn’t worth more (dog) [Chorus - Sample from "A Thousand Faces" by Creed - w/ Joe Budden ad libs] Now I'm forced to look behind I'm forced to look at you You wear a thousand faces Tell me, tell which is you Broken mirrors paint the floor Why can't you see the truth? You wear a thousand faces Tell me, tell me which is you [Verse 2 - Joe Budden] Check it, nothin could help somebody switch up more than thirst can I've seen the ill effects that fame could have first hand Am I to blame for the person that you became? When you’re already on that path, it's so hard for me to explain Look, some indicators that I'm watchin, who I never met I see some things happenin now that you would never let If you were in your right mind Were you showin me the right person at the right time Or, were you tryin to make it easy? Did it really please you to please me? Did that make you change everythin about you to appease me? My pride in shambles, wonderin why or when did you decide to gamble Or are you competin with Maia Campbell? When did that become suitable? How could you make somethin so ugly out of what was once beautiful? Next time beauty’s headed towards me, I plan to dodge (until) Until I see it's not just bein used as a camouflage (oh!) [Chorus - w/ Joe Budden ad libs] [Verse 3 - Joe Budden] Check it, only reason I continue to antagonize Just my way of bringin truth into a pack of lies Reveals peoples' true colors, moves a bad disguise Even though it's somethin I predicted, I just act surprised That way the armor never chinks on me Drunk mouth, sober tongue, homie drinks on me That way I'm protected, y'all got no choice but to respect it Seen too many come and go to be affected, how's it not expected? I'm hip to what it's bound to be And them relationships combined, ain't weigh a pound to me And so the bullsh**, make sure it's tasteful when it's done You can keep your thousand faces but try bein faithful to one [Chorus - w/ Joe Budden ad libs] Tell me, tell me, tell me You wear a thousand faces Tell me which is you Tell me which is you
