Joe Budden - 40 Licks lyrics
[Joe Budden - 40 Licks lyrics]
Look I can give a fuck about opinions
Like 'em or love 'em i never change up
If you don't like 'em then fuck 'em
'Cause, I was brought up
Sayin' sticks and stones
Only let you know about
Whoever's doin' the throwin'
Dudes is far from what they
Pretend to be though
I done fired a few shots and got plenty to go
So nah, if it ain't love
Let's begin to be foes
'Cause now my mind kind of off
I'm like Emily Rose
When I seen my first man get murdered
I took a little strike from the
Game like a transit worker
I can't, won't keep pushin' packs to get paid
And be a grown ass man with no accolades
And know the truth hurts I can't fabricate
So nothing's made up, just the facts I say
My son 'bout to have a brother
It's a different father, same mother
If it ain't one thing it's another
Sometimes this rap shit seems so easy
'Til you home lookin' at that TV
Pissed you havin' a fit, changin' it from MTV
'Cause you starin' at them
Thinkin' that should BE ME
The game and myself is like Jessica and Nick
'bout to leave
The folks thought we'd never ever split
Try to work through it all that
We done for each other
Both talented but one is too
Dumb for the other
Let it go to it's boiling point
Til it felt like a long
Episode of Boiling Points
But all I gots this mic and
This booth while I'm in it
I figure might as well tell the
Truth while I'm in it
Latifa said enjoy my youth while I'm in it
I told her I do but the proof's still tinted
I'm like an old man with no friends or family
Tryin' to cleanse what he got
Left of his sanity it's no happy dude here
I'm mad at the world while I'm
Wishing y'all Happy New Year
It's only fair somebody had one
New Year's for me always be like my last one
New year, same girl, she the same soldier
Think it's all good
Probably 'cause I told her
But, I got some resentment
Shit that I ain't over
I don't trust baby girl far
As I can throw her
Rightfully or wrongly she's
Gettin' quick sized i'm on the horn askin'
Chicks for their tit-size
Face smilin' and there's tears
In the kid's eyes hidin' it from hoes
By talkin' about my dick size
In the hood with the best of 'em
I'm still hood
Just not hood like the rest of 'em
Where's the answer don't ask for a cig'
I'm so self-centered I won't
Even share this cancer look to the sky
Talk to an invisible man and hope
One day my prayers get answered
This shit gets hard with every pull
From this cig' or cigar
More like what every lick from the guitar
GOD!
Like 'em or love 'em i never change up
If you don't like 'em then fuck 'em
'Cause, I was brought up
Sayin' sticks and stones
Only let you know about
Whoever's doin' the throwin'
Dudes is far from what they

I done fired a few shots and got plenty to go
So nah, if it ain't love
