Joe Budden - Whatever It Takes lyrics

Whatever it takes, to find a way To find a way To find a way I'ma do whatever it takes, to find a way To find a way To find a way I'ma do, Whatever it takes to find a way To find a way To find a way Whatever it takes to find a way To find a way To find a way Aiy, I'm dealing with some sh** homey, it's in the back of my head And it's some sh** homey, but I just rap it instead See I got wolverine bones in me But the whole world is throwin' stones at me like they all gotta bone with me Got a child's mother, and I hate her to d**h But that's my child's mother, so that's my mate to the d**h That's why how I love her for puttin' little me here And me and huck'll beef forever, she gon still be there And there's some other n***az, I just a character role Be they some other n***az, now let's get back to the song I got a drug problem, but I ain't tell the truth Because I got enough problems And my solution is to stuff problems But if something goes wrong with that Then it's back to PCP and so long with rap See I'm depressed lately, but nobody understands That I'm depressed lately, I'm sorta feeling repressed lately But y'all been hearin' and seein' me less lately Like it's anyone noticed the redress lately Look deep n***a don't I seem stressed lately Seem disturbed, a lot of repress lately I got a company that I'm signed to But they ain't in my company, when all I need is some company When I start feelin' like everybody's done with me I tryna see what everybody want with me Then the mistress, yeah, the girl from ten minutes it's hard Now I'm needing ten minutes from heart I can't get into it, but I want y'all to know That I'll get into it, but I'll save that for the growth Then it's rap beef, but I'm so secure with me It's only rap beef, I don't need se-see you-rity (never) Want to get at me, want to go to war with me That's just one phone call for me Check the sh**, I got a whole hood, that don't appreciate It's not the whole hood that appreciates me What you gon' tell me, when it's the streets that made me And I won't let the belly of the beast degrade me And then it's rap critics, they say all I make dance music But there almost anything you can dance to it They ain't like the single, so they ain't copped that album Wouldn't give a chance to it, not a second glance to it They say he wines to much, he's too bitter They call it complaining, I call it explaining I know 'em n***az cooked it, caught up in the gaming Lose they mind and y'all call it entertainment Some sh** with me, a dude's been knew that But I'm gambling a lot and I ain't used to do that Rap ain't payin' the bills, it's mo money mo problems Or it's no money mo problems All enormous when you play at these stakes That's how it feels to have a warrant on a famous face Then the album's pushed back, cause they say he needs a single at the moment But what he needs is a single moment Then I'm involved in the 'he say she say (that) Send my mind on replay, each day Then it's the bullsh** that she save he's gave Cause she wouldn't like to think that he ain't like her Just cause she was throwing it at me and I ain't touch her She'll say anything psych, but I ain't want to f** her I don't feel good, so I won't want to go to a club Don't want to go to a lounge, just want to lounge Then the same sweater that I had on for days The same t I had on for a week what I got on, it speaks What I got on, it reeks No shape up, chilling, cause that's just how I'm feeling And one day at a time, it's god willing Tryna see scrape but the fall keeps building Post start raising, the booze starting that gate me But I gotta be a king cause this wolve's tryna play me Goodie when it's hot like it's freezing winter Bed start, eating sleep for dinner Then it's hard tryna keep this in ya So I write it all down, so one day maybe when life is all sweet I remember Then it's probation, I know we all go through it We call it probation, but there's no pro to it Yeah my soul's aching, only a few peers know Funny thing about the case is it's a few years old Had some sh** going on with my ohh, that felt good but it's bad So I'm sitting here like what the b**h had It's not rap it's real, look scrappy it's true Going what's popping, do he look happy to you Now if it goes to the wire, go the soul of a fighter Bruised up and sloppy, a damaged like Ali Up late talking to the fans on a website That's the only thing that send yo man off to bed right f** the world f** my moms and my girl Well maybe not mom, just let me remain calm This too won't last, this too shall pa** At least that's what I say y'all, that's what I pray for And I'm the only thing that's standing in my way y'all But I gotta be with me, it's no escape y'all I guess depression just stepped in, and took over sh** like it's known to do Guess it said, hey Joe, I'm going home with you Turn your phone off, I need to be alone with you I need to be in the zone with you Cause I'm the only thing why've grown to, n***a Look, I own you, n***a Been with you since ten, but you starting to confuse me Cause it's been so long and you still tryna lose me Like how could you show me such cruelty When everybody turns their back on you, Joe it's you and me Still you don't want me to see you right And why you always come get me, how we re-unite Huh, I know you feel for me deep in your heart Doctors, meetings, pills couldn't keep us apart What, now, you got a deal and you want to get rid of me We roommates, I'm in your head, Joe you live with me So I don't write for the fans, nah, I write to my man And hope that he'll just leave and understand Like, like please leave the kid in peace Let me smoke this one cig in peace Just leave for a second, man it's been too long, and I can't troop it And as long as you around I can't make that dance music
