Sober Up - Joe Budden/Crooked I I broke down a while ago Finally picking up the pieces Memoirs of how the undefeated Can feel depleted I don't talk to god as a matter Of fact I plead with At times I hate my reflection and others I'm conceited Half the tI'me I'm arrogant other tI'mes I'm vengeful At tI'mes it's to convince me at tI'mes it's to convince you Done a lot of wrong but I aint never felt resentful It's been so many tI'mes I've lost track of who to repent to Half the tI'me I'm in the cut Don't want you to notice me Roll with me and youll see that I'm only awkward socially Half the tI'me I'm spiteful double barrell rifle I owe so many payback I feel like I got the right too So if you need a case in point you Can refer to budden And it will prove that painkillers never murdered nothing All it did was make me succumb put ice in me Make me numb When I revisit the places it takes me from I'm strong Strong enough to catch contact right Smell it as soon as you get in my ride See with me rules never apply Don't tell me how I should live my life Put your seat back got it if you need that You should really f**k with me Tell me if you wanna ride or die La la la la la la la la Listen up as the center reports My inner thoughts are like a inner war Headaches act as a trembling force on my mental ward Mentals distraught Every word fromt his sentence the boss It's brought to you like the people like your ministers porsche Tight roping on dental floss Before the haters begin to get lost Coke and w**d got my temperment off But why would my temper get lost When as soon as the temperature frost I'm probably having intercourse in a resort CrI'minal report pricey condos at a minI'mal cost My train of thought aint as sI'mple as yours So if our paths happen to incidentally 'cross I pray that you can overlook all my miniature flaws Un'til then lets let the bass kick Take the shots straight I don't see a need to chase it Trying to fight the urge 'til theres something to replace it I welcome yall to be my co pilots on this spaceship Strong enough to catch contact right Smell it as soon as you get in my ride See with me rules never apply Don't tell me how I should live my life Put your seat back got it if you need that You should really f**k with me Tell me if you wanna ride or die La la la la la la la la Me and the game would get so blunted Wed order take out from the chinese stores They make sure you bring change for a hundred Rob 'em safety on the metals off Figured if we beat the breaks off 'em Then how the f**k was he gon pedal off Some live and die by the high I was born by it Since pac gave my mom the needle like go on try it Got me feeling like aint a n***a can harm me So I go and scoop a mommy That wanna come join the army She was so militant disciplined intelligent So I whispered to her bet you wouldn't mind shilling it I got to know her on my sofa I gave her my honourable discharge And she took like a soldier Since she the type you gotta watch when she come around Really she only get high so she can come down Lost her when I said she aint gotta settle Once you start to handle life youll be on the same level I guess so strong enough to catch contact right Smell it as soon as you get in my ride See with me rules never apply Don't tell me how I should live my life Put your seat back got it if you need that You should really f**k with me Tell me if you wanna ride or die La la la la la la la la When I was five this what my father said I should have pulled you out And left you on your mommas waterbed You asked me my poppas dead Alcoholic jeans from hI'm since a toddler bottle fed Put me on your stainless I'm brainless I'm a hollow head My life was the crazyiest Surprised I'm even walking Can you blame me if I'm atheist But I aint stephen hawkings I know god is in my radius I can see hI'm walking in the face Of an innocent baby but not when preachers talking My people sleep in coffins I miss 'em I'm breaking down in the face of a bad b*tch That I'm supposed to be taking down Baby ride while I'm crying I'm dying inside 'Cause my pain is beside a giant lethiathon
