Joe Budden - The Hard Part lyrics

Closer than close well closer than most
I just see so much in you
And I want a better view
I want to look deeper into you yeah

See God built everybody differently ya mean
Ready for The Hard Part (hard part hard part)
Everybody ain't got the same makeup
We ain't all built alike
(built alike built alike) only thing is
(hard part hard part) when you
Put in that spot
You can ask yourself What are you built for?

Uh I'm getting ready for the hard part
This the first time me and you
Have been this far apart
Uh not the first time that you packed
But the first time that you left first
Time that I just stood and watched
More like stood there shocked look
At what I've done
The first time that I conceded and pride won
That was our first time in
Court together but not really (Why?)
Cuz I wasn't allowed to even look your way
('member?)
That's that paper work you filed right
Can't communicate with the woman
Bearing my child right
We both lost it shit was a wild night
Unfortunately we didn't go down
Without a fight
Always said that I wouldn't know
What to do without you
Loved what I knew about you not
What was new about you
You step back and notice shit got realer
Cuz y'all are closer than most
But still ain't looking familiar

I'm doing 90 on the road hand on the 45
If I can't do nothing else
But survive feel me
I got that Al Green playing
I'm feeling on shorty thighs
And since I'm the one that y'all wanna try
Just know I'm ready to ride (Uh)
I'm on my grind till the clock stop
The shit is all happening on God's watch
So if you see me pulled
Over with the car parked (Uh)
I'm just getting ready for the hard part (Uh)

Uh I'm getting ready for the hard part
Well fuck it this what we all wanted
(talk to 'em) so I figured fuck it I
Can use another crack at
So what I ran from for 8
Years I'm right back at
Fucking with a major now I
Got my group with me
Good cuz the scrutiny usually
Has me acting stupidly
And even though they all think
That I'm a weirdo when I look to my left and
My right they right there though
They was naive when they said
That we was all through
All walk a same path feel
Like we the Lord's group
The industry don't know the type of
Damage we gon' cause you
Same one y'all called flukes is
Looking like war troops
At The point where even legends give respect
Went from outside of the game to
Getting lead in by the best 'Cause yeah
Won't stop till our title they can't argue
Though we closer than most still
I gotta thank Marshall

Closer to family closer to my regime
Closer to Goapele, I mean closer to my dreams
I was closer to the block
Was closer to them fiends
So nah I ain't from the streets
But we closer than we seem
Check it closer to comfort closer to wealth
But not closer than you can
Afford you gotta know yourself
Closer to a lead so it's murder in the booth
Say they closer to the real but
That's further from the truth
And I'm closer than the people
That's wishing for my demise
Fuck me worry bout that
Sickness you got inside
Figure I'm just a reflection
Of your miserable life
Since you less fortunate
You wanna picture him deprived
Why I stay to myself and get closer to rap
Cuz getting closer to you will
Be getting closer to that
And since that's a little ways
I'm kinda closer to fruition
I just kick my feet back and
Got a chauffeur for the distance


Ha Joey ya mean y'all throw that shit my way
Right field center field left field
I'm a golden glove winner try it
Y'all throw that shit my way
I'm totally built for this are you though?

Ready For The Hard Part
