Artist: Joe Budden Album: Halfway House Song: Better Me www.agentspits.com [Verse 1] I get a ghetto gospel, only right considering the ghetto was my Hostel Memory is gone but I'm recalling all through High School Even at my lowest I was sitting on my high stool, that's what being high do I couldn't do shit, was always able to tote They told that a nigga would die for I was able to vote Probably cuz me and my constitutes and all the shit we did The MRI couldn't tell you what the issue is With my treason came a cause that I believed in Is it really wrong if a nigga got a reason? At times I had to take dough, nigga did whatever for a peso Being from the hood 'll be my scapegoat A canopy, cuz I wasn't born into a can of B Maybe I was grown to fallin love with vanity Tell me the shit you reap is the shit you sow Tell God I'm better then the shit I show, I gotta grow [Hook: Sampled] [Verse 2] Now niggas say I floss too much So, heavy change cuz I don't think that thousand dollar T costs too much All they should say is that he's strong, came out the fire unscathed He had carried on, Lou Vutton carry on Had the 'matti' on, but my blessings had a delay Now to lace my chick at Esay is sort of cliche Plane ain't gon never land, unless it's in Netherlands 20 on that gold face bright and with the leather band Asked for a better hand, I tried colliding with my problems, yea, I never ran That would make me less a man I ain't go from not having it to being arrogant I dreamt, went grabbin it, just being passionate Some niggas get complacent, why? Dudes is new born birds just afraid to fly If your foots on the brakes, can't ride Me, I spread my wings and embrace that high [Hook] [Bridge] Give it away, give it away, give it away now! Give it away, give it away, give it away now! Give it away, give it away, give it away now! Give it away, give it away, give it away now! [Verse 3] Part of me was gruesome, I ain't change, I grew some And if I did change I'd welcome that shit to come Dudes that smoked trees with me, dudes that used to be with me They say I switched up on 'em and did a 360, Cuz I don't burn it down, but to me it's common sense, Wanna see the other side? Gotta turn around Show 'em ya game face, I tell 'em we was on the right track but wasn't running that same race We ain't in the same space, but I ain't gonna change pace Something won't let me slow down, I can't explain faith So don't say that I went from broke to bougie I'm far from high end, I just know what suits me Ma'fucka!
