DJ on point, and you why his name Joe Point? ′Cause you point pussy

It's ya motherfuckin′ boy, shit, "Jump off" Joe Budden here

Clinton Sparks we gon' get familiar with itThat was a stand-up, jerks stand up

Sparks out, holla it's, it′s

Set out mixtape mah dot com, you got the rear sis

Whatever it takes, to find a way, to find a way, to find a way

I′ma do whatever it takes, to find a way, to find a way, to find a way

I'ma do whatever it takes to find a way, to find a way, to find a way

Whatever it takes to find a way, to find a way, to find a way (DJ on point)

Alright I′m dealin' with some shit homey, it′s in the back of my head

And it's some shit homey, but I just rap it instead

See I got wolverine bones in me, but the whole world

Is throwin′ stones at me like they all gotta bone with me

Got a child's mother, and I hate her to death

But that's my child′s mother, so that′s my major to the death

It's wild how I love her, for puttin′ little me here

And me and she'll be forever, she gon′ still be there

Then there's some other niggas, are just a character role

But they some other niggas, now let′s get back to the song

I got a drug problem, that I ain't tended to

Because I got enough problems, and my solution is to stuff problems

But if something goes wrong with that

Then it's back to PCP and so long with rap

See I′m depressed lately, but nobody understands

That I′m depressed lately, I'm sorta feelin′ repressed lately

So y'all been hearin′ and seein' me less lately

Like it′s anyone noticed the redress lately

Look deep nigga don't I seem stressed lately

Seem disturbed, a lot of regrets lately

Got a company, that I'm signed to

But they ain′t in my company, when all I need is some company

When I start feelin′ like everybody's done with me

I try to see what e′rybody want with me

Then the mistress, yeah, the girl from ten minutes it's her

Now I′m needin' ten minutes from her

I can′t get into it, but I want y'all to know

That I'll get into it, but I′ll save that for the growth

Then it′s rap beef, but I'm so secure with me

It′s only rap beef, I don't need security (never)

Wanna get at me, wanna go to war with me

That′s just one phone call for me, check the shit

I got a whole hood, that don't appreciate me

It′s not the whole hood, that depreciates me (okay)

What you gon' tell me, when it's the streets that made me

And I won′t let the belly of the beast degrade me

And then it′s rap critics, they say all I make is dance music

But to almost anything you can dance stupid

They ain't like the single, so they ain′t copped that album

Wouldn't give a chance to it, not a second glance to it

They say he wines too much (and) he′s too bitter (and)

They call it complainin' (but) I call it explainin′ (y'know)

How normal niggas could get caught up in the game and

Lose they mind and y'all call it entertainment

Some shit with me, but dudes been knew that

But I′m gamblin′ a lot and I ain't used to do that (I didn′t) (nah)

Rap ain't payin′ the bills, it's mo′ money mo' problems

Or it's no money mo′ problems

All enormous when you play at these stakes

That′s how it feels to have a warrant on a famous face

Then the album's pushed back, ′cause they say he need a single

At the moment, but what he needs is a single moment

Then I'm involved in the he say, she say

(That′s) in my mind on replay, each day

(Then) Then it's the bullshit that she say he′s gay

'Cause she wouldn't like to think that he ain′t like her

Just ′cause she was throwin' it at me and I ain′t touch her

She'll say anything side from I ain′t wanna fuck her (nah)

I don't feel good, so I don′t wanna go to a club

Don't wanna go to a lounge, just wanna lounge (I just wanna lounge)

In the same sweats that I had on for days

Same tee I had on for a week, what I got on it speaks

What I got on, it reeks

No shape up, chillin', cause that′s just how I′m feelin'

And one day at a time, it′s God willin'

(See I′m) tryin to see straight but the fog keeps buildin'

Pulse start racin′, the bulls startin' to hate me

But I gotta be a king, cause there's wolves tryin′ to play me

Hoodie when it′s hot like it's freezin′ winter

Rest starve, eating sleep for dinner

And it's hard tryna keep this in ya, so I write it all down

So one day maybe when life is all sweet I remember

Then it′s probation, I know we all go through it

We call it probation, but there's no pro to it

Yeah, my soul′s achin', only a few peers know

Funny thing about the case is it's a few years old

Had some shit going on with my (cough) ohh, that felt good, but it′s bad

So I′m sittin' here like what the bitch had

It′s not rap it's real, look scrappy it′s true

Goin' what′s popping, do he (I) look happy to you? (nah)

Now if it goes to the wire, go the soul of a fighter

Bruised up and sloppy, or damaged like Ali

Up late talkin' to the fans on a website

That's the only thing that send your man off to bed right (DJ on point)

Fuck the world, fuck my moms and my girl!

Well maybe not mom, just let me remain calm

This too won′t last, this too shall pass

At least that′s what I say y'all, that′s what I pray for

And I'm the only thing that′s standin' in my way, y′all

But I gotta be with me, it's no escape y'all

I guess depression just stepped in

And took over shit like it′s known to do

Guess it said, hey Joe, I′m goin' home with you

Turn your phone off, I need to be alone with you

I need to be in the zone with you

′Cause I'm the only thing you′ve prone to nigga, look I own you nigga

Been with you since 10, but you startin' to confuse me

′Cause it's been so long and you still tryin' to lose me

Like how could you show me such cruelty

When everybody turns their back on you Joe, it′s you and me

Joe, you don′t want me to see you right

And why you always come get me, how we reunite, huh?

I know you feel for me deep in your heart

Doctors, meetings, pills couldn't keep us apart

But now you got a deal and you wanna get rid of me

We roommates, I′m in your head Joe, you live with me

So I don't write for the fans, nah, I write to my man

In hopes that he′ll just leave and understand

Like, like please leave the kid in peace

Let me smoke this one cig' in peace

Just leave for a second man, it′s been too long and I can't troop it

And when you're around, I can′t make that darn music

Whatever it takes, to find a way, to find a way, to find a way

Whatever it takes, to find a way, to find a way, to find a way

Whatever it takes, to find a way, to find a way, to find a way

Whatever it takes, to find a way, to find a way, to find a way
