Joe Budden, Emanny - Love For You lyrics

[Joe Budden, Emanny - Love For You lyrics]

Just gotta get these thoughts off real quick
See I'm a thinker, it's like thinking shit
It's when you got
You sittin' there reflectin'
Thinkin' shit i peep it though

Look, you liked me better before
You knew my history
Before you knew who I was
That's when reachin' our
Potential felt likely nobody like me
Besides see if I stop bein' who I am
I'm straight to it, who I might be
But you gotta look inside each song
That's where I proved it was
Really in sight all along
Bear it all so the privacy gone
Grab the pen, sit down and write these wrongs
Just how I right these wrongs, but look
You liked me better when
I spoke usin' censorship
Before you knew I was really insensitive
That was back when it was you and me
Then curiosity killed you
You had to Google me
Now I won't call the headlines a liar
Some are true and some are false
That's for y'all to decipher but look
On rare occasions some of what
They say'll bother me
I liked it better when the
'Net was still a novelty
'Cause now people who
Ain't found themselves get an outlet
Yet don't know how they sound themselves
They like me better when I'm silent
And don't have an opinion
Pretendin' to blend in like I'm a minion
Say if Joe keep talkin' that shit
He'll get him shot
But if rappers can't tie my shoes
How can I not?
Thought I had my city's support
I couldn't believe
Jersey City liked me better
When I couldn't leave
I take it back, that ain't set in stone
They more so had weapons drawn
'cause I left alone
I liked it better when I had nothin' to lose
The days when I felt like
I had somethin' to prove
Shit, even for me that's unusual
If you don't give a fuck then
Who you gotta prove it to?
Just the world that I was born in
You gotta learn to form wins
Against the storm wind
They like me better when I
Fuck and never call again without it
They don't know what type of
Box I belong up in they like me better
Without reality television
Guess they didn't need to witness
The hell I was livin'
In my shoes, you too would seal a fate
Poppin' 20 pills a day
Somebody gon' feel a way
Look, uh, and so these hoes just to pass time
After the past time
They don't even pass my mind
You liked me better way before
You got lied to
But that don't really matter when
You want me inside you
Your friends sayin' leave
They don't know that you tried to
You can't speak to them
I'm the nigga you cry to
I liked it better when nobody
Ever heard of me
'Fore pop had to get that knee surgery
Guess that affected his bladder
So when Jackie called me
Nothin' else really mattered
Was scared, sounded frantic
I ain't want no parts of that
Said the ambulance came
Might be a heart attack
Was leavin' work nearly cryin' on the phone
I'm in rush hour traffic
Just seen you dyin' alone
Look, I just pictured all the
Places that we never went
All the texts that were never sent
All the words we never spoke
Time we never shared, rewind so we can repair
Such an inspiration
All the holes that you dug through
Then you got released
God was watchin' above you
I'm thinkin' you healin'
I don't wanna disrupt you
So I'm right back to never tellin'
You that I love you
And I don't wanna act that way
If I take somethin' for granted
I don't wanna give it back that way
Forreal, that's how shit get lost
Let me chill i like it better when I'm
Not talkin' over my thoughts, now listen

I've done been down, been down
It's all for you
How you feelin' out there?
And I don't wanna get in your way
How everybody doin', alright?
Get you somethin' to drink
And I don't wanna get in your way
Get you somethin' to smoke
Get you somethin' to light up
Whatever your vice is, we here though
Said this love is all for you
That shit don't be for everybody, man
Said this love is all for you

Now the singers wanna rap
The rappers wanna sing
Personally I liked it better back
When rappin' was a thing
'Cause now if you wanna get the high notes
When that hook come
You gotta hit the high notes
The label wanna sell singles
I'm sellin' a story and that'll
Just taint the message bad marriage
We ain't got the same objective
Still I'm here cause real niggas
In the game respect it
Look, they like it better when I
Let 'em live rent free
I never knew that once it
Stopped we'd be enemies
And though I come off as heartless, nigga
In spite of yourself, got
Love for you regardless, nigga
Now listen, i liked you better when you
Wasn't in the spotlight
Was too addicted to it
Said some shit was not right
So when you work so much I couldn't complain
'Til I learnt she was gateway
Escapin' from the pain
The strippers talk to me
Like I'm their therapist
That scares the good girls away
Don't know the hell I get
Whatever thoughts you contrive
I can't help you with
But you've been tossin' it for a
Year and I derail the shit
I'm self made, I don't do what I'm told
The type that needs free reign
To be out of control
Forreal, 'cause when that's gone I'm lost
Let me chill i like it better when I'm
Not talkin' over my thoughts, word

I've done been down, been down
It's all for you
Y'all don't understand me
I don't think they get it though
And I don't wanna get in your way
Don't know why you don't apply like
Our experiences and shit
And I don't wanna get in your way
To like, my experiences with other people
Said this love is all for you
This love is all for you, ooh
Said this love is all for you
