More Of Me by Joe Budden
More Of Me lyrics
I give you my all
But it seems like that�s not enough
Letting you get more of me
So while the world keep on changing
The one thing remaining is
I keep letting you get more of me
My story, my pain, can�t?ail? it
My tears overflowed, you can�t?pail? it
My talent, ?
Niggas tried to cross the god, but they ain�t nail it
My path, my walkway, you can�t trail it
My ladder, my mountain, can�t scale it
It�s my life, my struggles, can�t help
I�m just grateful that He kept me alive for me to tell it
Check it, see the music industry changed me
It was everything that I�d have never guessed it was
So my discography is all full of hand-me-downs
I couldn�t figure out another way to dress it up
So every verse fight with the truth
Nah, no one? better than this mic and this booth
It�s no better way, I owe my todays to my yesterdays
You live with regrets, probably die with em too
So I trust God more than myself, I�m trying to tell ya
Drunk in the basement, now I�m in the wine cellar
I learned to never let the fear settle in
And now I�m more prepared than I�ve ever been
Not one ounce of hate in my?glance?
Just one of the things OG taught me way in advance
Said it�s two types of folk in this world
Got the ones that�s out doing it
And those busy saying they can�t
I give you my all
But it seems like that�s not enough
Letting you get more of me
So while the world keep on changing
The one thing remaining is
I keep letting you get more of me
You know some niggas never learn
Some learn and never apply, but wait
Some apply but never teach
My only right to preach, I spent time being each
Grab your magnifying glass I need ya�ll to look closer
At the only dude to do every drug and get lower
If niggas knew a third of all the weight that he shouldered
They�d know it�s an insult to think I�m only bipolar
I got a unique talent, don�t know how I obtained it
How do I sustain it? Can�t even explain it
I get more info from words that aren�t spoken
More fixated on people or things when they are broken
I used to think everybody was pure
Now I�m busy trying to come up with everybody�s cure
And that mindset led to?
It be the people you help most, normally do the most harm
Made it my whole life, most times I ain�t bite
So no need to stick to a script that I didn�t write
Preconceived notions, nothing less than a failure
Base your�s off of the cover and miss the best-seller
While I�m at it, let me tell you about this angel I met
? fly, from every angle was fresh
And the way that she was jamming to the song called �I�m Not Perfect�
Made me wanna know what her imperfections were
Now listen, and they weren�t hard to find yall
Both parents were addicts like mine are
Mine are, but her story wasn�t new to me
Most of life, shorty was homeless like I used to be
Could tell she never felt appreciated
Looked too much like her dad, was her mom�s least favorite
Picture a bond supposed to be sacred
Looking up at your mom�s eyes and seeing hatred
Pop left when she was young
Well she still young and he still gon� keep it 100
While I�m just amazed that a woman so beautiful
Could through such ugliness and not become it
World keeps spinning, learned sinners keep sinning
And I can�t even tell her some fights ain�t fight worthy
Cause my pops got 20 years clean, but her pops got 20 years dirty
She moved to Jersey where he happens to reside
Thinking they�ll be closer but it�s only fiction
Cause she so young, all it does is cause friction
God picked the right nigga though, to teach about addiction
Years ago she should�ve been on?homi�? watch
So check the time out, just not on mommy�s watch
