[00:00.719][Intro:]
[00:02.939]Mic check, mic check 1-2 1-2
[00:07.589]Made a lot of mishaps, lot of mistakes, lot of missteps
[00:15.373]Grown shit though, is when you can recognize that
[00:18.665]And I recognize that, and real recognize that
[00:25.849]Talk to em...
[00:26.240][Verse 1:]
[00:31.543]Last word, check it, unbeatable force, insurmountable object
[00:36.611]Bull should've known better than counting me out, I'm from the projects
[00:40.399]So if I ever do it for greed, indeed something is wrong
[00:42.985]Prepare for the future, remember I used to get heat from the oven on
[00:46.224]They wanted to see Budden gone, fiend'd out on sour
[00:49.411]But nobody helped put Budden on, had to bring my own power so
[00:53.199]I'm having a private party, that only myself attends
[00:56.333]And if the DJ plays the song to my soul, it'll give itself a cleanse
[00:59.573]They telling me all the pain I ever felt was self-infringed
[01:03.047]But I had help from friends, one even held the syringe
[01:06.312]Architect of my own path, I'd like to think it's designed the best
[01:09.551]Defied the odds, I never aged while giving time a test
[01:12.686]No niggas on house arrest, I'm on a minor rest
[01:15.978]You trying to call me or text me, don't even bother, I'm trying to give mine a rest
[01:19.373]I got a treasure but it's content is invisible
[01:22.534]Was filled before with shit that I thought I treasured, but made me miserable
[01:26.322]My affairs together, here forever, yeah I'm back to work
[01:29.169]Learned in order to lose love, probably gotta have it first
[01:33.715][Verse 2:]
[01:39.462]My life's a crap shoot, my dice are loaded, ain't no stopping me
[01:42.387]Most interesting man, a hard place is between a rock and me
[01:46.018]I'm torn within, and my eyes are heavy
[01:49.780]I'm born again, just means I died already
[01:52.392]Means I survived already, so **** they want with me?
[01:55.736]World been against me so long, misery hates my company
[01:58.844]Isolated my whole life, not many know who Joseph is
[02:02.293]In order to reciprocate love, you gotta notice it
[02:05.898]Gotta recognize it, gotta feel it first
[02:09.293]Gotta be let inside it, feel it's hurt and then kneel to it's worst
[02:12.689]If you contain it, don't hide it, gotta reveal it first
[02:15.746]And when you think you hit rock bottom, gotta feel it worse
[02:18.828]Or, my rule book is just dated
[02:22.041]And for you to truly appreciate it, you gotta at least be hated
[02:25.385]Mama I made it, if anyone know my way was hard
[02:28.598]They prayed for my Downfall on deaf ears, I was praying to God
[02:32.046]So God, I loved love till it resented me
[02:35.338]And if it's still a stranger, then I love who it pretends to be
[02:41.999][Outro:]
[02:45.264]No Love Lost
[02:51.351]No love found
[02:54.877]They found a little bit though
[02:59.945]I don't know where they found it out, but it was there
[03:04.882]So I guess the moral of the story,
[03:08.226]Is as you mature, so will it
[03:11.804]Just gotta find it
[03:18.544]One...
