Joe Budden - If All Else Fails lyrics

If all else fails, I'll get back to what I know Rachet for my foes, watching for it fallin take a stab at it was snow Long john jacket for the cold Some habits are hard to outgrow I work so hard you think the studio's my lodge inn If all else fails I don't have a doubt that I'd be back in that studio apartment Getting it in, closet size living room, and the kitchen's my den Playing lotto hoping numbers will save the day Back to price checking, back to layaways Since I ain't never hit nothing like a bad fadeaway Back to the corner, takin a bag of haze to face Basic flow, when I tried to get my cake to grow I hit the pawn shop and turn into Trader Joe Shiesty kid, yack ya j**els while they glistenin Snatch the hearing aid from a senior, while they're listening If all else fails, don't know where I'd be Scratch that, probably at home, nowhere to be Or probably f**in a broad that, I treat like a floor mat Ugly enough to cover her face when the ? And that's a step down from my New York rat They ride it like a horse's back, with the horseback But it won't fail so if you try to rob the kid Banana clips by the bed will put a stop to it Nevermind that, first you gotta beat the guard I can change the channel on my tv and see my yard If it all failed, I'm ready for the sham Forging fake checks screamin "Catch Me If You Can" If all else fails, I'd be out pullin Jerz capers Knowing me I'd be best friends with my worst haters I'd be dustin off the AR or be behind state bars For jackin a bait car If all failed, I'd be back in them block cyphers Just to show these local n***as I'm a lot nicer Cause the less you succeed the more you loved for it While the more you achieve the more you snubbed for it If all else failed and my pockets were empty Everything I despised I'd probably envy Ignorant sh** rappers floss that offends me Cause I wouldn't be able to attain it, it would tempt me Frontin' in my mans Maserati I might bag something with a modest body, from a college party Next morning hung over so she don't remember I'd deck my whole crib out from Rent-A-Center If all else failed and I didn't get a break yet I'd get unemployment while collecting a paycheck Would it mean I wasn't build for the bright lights Say goodbye to front row seats and fight night If it all failed I'd have a pretty common future From a Chart House n***a to a ramen noodler Would my girl say you no longer attract me Pack up all her sh** and head south with an athlete My name would hold no wait so I'd lose the perks OD on Oxycontin, abuse the percs I'd be a felon getting my scriptures tatted on First 48 star getting ratted on If all else fails I wouldn't take precaution New hoopty every month would be my way of flossin And the crib would be an all night party With 6 baby moms that I Jet on like Lombardi Fantasizing the girls I coulda dated Pull the burner ? on the ones that coulda made it I'd be the only one that cared Am I just reciting my fears as they appear Shouldn't even put the idea in the air Cause it's not possible, let's make that clear BABY!
