Joe Budden - Poker in the Sky lyrics
[Joe Budden - Poker in the Sky lyrics]
Not too good, Joe not too good no
Appetite, losing weight in the bed
Out the bed i tell it like it
Is nothin' I can do about it
So who's runnin' the poker games?
I don't know did a good job
And he's retired I don't
Have the game I used to
Have i'm giving up competing
You can't, you can't give up
You can't give up poker
Just tryna explain the unexplainable
More than tryna attain the unattainable
Try and make it sustainable
Collectin' all the parts
See if they interchangeable killin' me slow
But I'm glad it's entertainin' you
Every day it amaze me
The same thinkin' that pay me the
Same thinkin' that plagues me
How can I think I'm crazy? Sway me
'Cause to profit off of shit that
Aches me is actually pretty wavy
Uh, I'm paintin' the perfect picture
Only perfect 'cause the
Imperfections are highlighted
To gross currency off of that kinda sickness
Changes the meaning of mind my business
Givin' what was given to me
So the soldiers come over unsober and
Call me Yoda instead of Joseph
I be like "why they come to me for advice?"
They should really come to me for a vice
I got 'em all got a counter full of liquor
Pocket full of pills
The illusion of control
I can tell you how it feels
Accounts full of paper and the
Women I play wit'
All got criminal bodies, innocent faces
Come around and we have a ball
Could have it all
Well, I ran out of Adderall, but
That's a matter of a call, check it
Odds is they start tellin' me they hardships
Regardless, they end up wantin' hard dick
Aww shit
You would think they'd been ordained
Got her legs in the air
She screamin' the Lord's name
I'm feedin' her more game, more game
More game i started fuckin' her mind
That's when all them thoughts came
She keep sayin' if I want her
I should fight for her my plight for her
Says I don't know if I'm right for her
Even so know there's a fire I ignite for her
Starin' at her ceiling
Seeing me like I'm a nightcrawler
Uh, it's like she love me, but she don't
(Word) that's when she lose me
That's when she confuse me
It's what I get appalled wit', can't call it
She think I should remove her
Hurt since I installed it
But, I wish she knew I was perturbed too
Birds view
It hurt me more knowin' I hurt you
Even though it exists I don't
Ever bring it up we don't be doin' nothin'
But it's everything to us
Presently she bring up the
Past and it's filthy
You not talkin' to who I was or who I will be
But that's my own assignment
You wanna take all the feelings and the
Time spent and give it realignment
Check the catalog, lateral God
I self-sabotage, I'd explain further
But I'd rather not (Talk to 'em)
Salute, on me, everybody have a shot
I do it for the niggas they said
Wouldn't have a shot
But some days are better than some days
Still yet here I stand on numb legs
Women don't give a fuck that
I have these scars i'm fuckin' the same hoes
That the athletes are
What a rollercoaster, we argued and we sexed
(Uh)
Face in her box, James Harden in her texts
Nigga from the Clippers e'ry mornin'
Text her "good mornin'"
She be sleep, he just be talkin' to me
My nigga none of this is a pain to see
I only care about her if she pertains to me
Shit, I'm tendin' to emergencies with urgency
That urge in me is my daily
Fight in her purgin' me
Fuck hoes, I ain't got time to be sprung now
Grandpa's cancer just made it
To his lungs now
In 2012, docs gave him few months wild
He's alive somehow, outlived 2 sons, wow
So now their observation
Says he'll die quicker with
Chemo and radiation
He ain't strong enough to
Even go through operation
Know that death's comin'
He just in the house waitin'
So you tellin' me there ain't a
Way to fix the shit?
Or is grandpa too old for you to give a shit?
Let's switch the shit
Give you my predicament
Wonder how you would feel if I
Was tellin' yours live with it
And it's travelin' to his heart soon
Of course it all hit me like a harpoon
I was in shock and then it was all clearer
When he called me and asked
Me to be his pallbearer i was floored
But then the next second was
Back to being self-centered, self-absorbed
And it became about me
Fought it off long enough
I could help carry your weight
But I ain't strong enough
But why do I have to be?
This the shit I be naturally askin' me
I'm such a catastrophe
See me breakin' down with my
Father in back of me so for me to attend
I'm tryna think of a strategy
But, I'm happy for my dad (Why?)
He was incarcerated when his
Mama didn't make it
So for him to get that chance again witchu
Means the world
He could be there 'til it end for you and me
(What?)
I bleed out through this pen for you
Can't carry this around, gotta vent, it's due
'Cause now, grandpa'll be closer to his wife
Have cards when I come
We playin' poker in the sky
You you'll get it back
Would you like to be a pallbearer?
That's something to think about yeah
I'm not Good to hear from
You anyway take care
All right you know I'll see you soon, Grandad
Oh, okay bye
Appetite, losing weight in the bed
Out the bed i tell it like it
Is nothin' I can do about it
So who's runnin' the poker games?
I don't know did a good job
