(intro) all love lost

Singer:joe budden

just when i thought i can't dig any deeper

said my last shit was trash and they dig when it's deeper

they ain't see what i see

i guess my vision was weaker

or they buy me to hear me

so we can skip all the features

i'm like

woke me up with the pinch

so it's in english now

since they ain't wanna hear french

ain't wanna hear wiz

ain't want me with kirko

they ain't wanna hear me happy

now they lookin' for hurt

yo

they'll hate it before they hear it if they think it's commercial

and so they're patiently waitin' for my fortune's reversal

check it. it's like ever since bundles passed

took the high road and watched everybody underpass

truth be told

god been lookin' out so much

that i feel guilty when i ask him for more

then i do it like the shit ain't ever happen before

this is all the while layin' on my bathroom floor

hold up

i'm just askin' him

give me strength to grow up

by now i'm sick and tired of layin' in my own throw up

it's a given

then self pity hits me

and i start to feel like i don't deserve to be forgiven

like when you can't think

talkin' when you don't drink

but sneakin' 'round your own kitchen cause you gotta get a swig in

i got issues

weed and vodka will settle some

well ain't that the pot callin' the kettle one?

i know niggas so broke that they embezzle funds

too busy waitin' for a chance that ain't never come

but this is bigger than havin' a debt

i mean i can't stop my brain from imaginin' death

then out the clear blue sky i cry random tears

used to it

me and depression been a tandem for years

i suffer from self doubt

put a cramp in my fears

if there's a god

this would be the perfect span to appear

i'm not a street nigga

never claimed that sport

and some of that train of thought's insane

had to abort

so people say i changed

i believe i should

even so the goal's always been to leave the hood

none of this should be a shock to y'all

logic says if you're still there

that's a knock to y'all

since you want a nigga furthest from his dreams

love's gone

doa once we left the murder scene

joe

when the love goes

the trust goes

it's like you hit my heart with a snub nose

i don't give a fuck though

where did the love go?

guess it's all love lost

been a hustle

a struggle

say the truth hurts and then cuts slow

i don't give a fuck though

where did the love go?

guess it's all love lost

now this might be the realest shit i ever said

ever thought

realest i ever fought

ignorance is bliss

you niggas were never taught

so when a challenge is sought

you niggas never retort

me i'm too savvy

too witty

it's just too much moxy

no percs

just a few crushed oxys

but gettin' off was imminent

when my dick became numb i was impotent

shit got real different then

was out in cali with a model

little waist

and double ds

a pretty face and long hair

name's vivian

not the norm for me

askin' what's wrong with me

tried everything we could

nothin' worked

couldn't get me in

we went on so many tours high

that chemistry we once had

did it all die?

something's changed

i just can't put my finger on

and i'd be wrong to sing a song but let it linger on

just know i'd die for my brothers

take on the whole world

at least try for my brothers

just wanna know that that's reciprocated

and if that ain't the case

nigga

say it

these just words from the heart

my life coach say i never finish what i start

work

school and relationships become one

but if i took all i could

how'd i leave it undone?

i'm givin' all the love but not receivin' any

but then they mad i'm all for self and i don't bleed for many

shit i done made a couple of you bitches

just by tellin' folk i was a couple with you bitches

befuddled and so now i don't want trouble with you bitches

had i used my better judgement

i'd have muzzled all you bitches

i gave out careers

fixed your fashion

did this shit so much you would think i got it patented

so many loved and mentioned me

judged but can't sentence me

real nigga never cared

worth a couple mil' and started from an idea

keep it candid in the booth

never panic

i'm the truth

god starin' down on me through a panoramic roof

i copped to the murder

red handed

ain't no proof

love's dead but you never understand it 'til it's you

true colors never hide for long

when tables turn

ain't gon' matter what side you're on

and for me that's a reoccurring theme

love's dead

i'm just walkin' y'all through a murder scene

when the love goes

the trust goes

it's like you hit my heart with a snub nose

i don't give a fuck though

where did the love go?

guess it's all love lost

been a hustle

a struggle

say the truth hurts and then cuts slow

i don't give a fuck though

where did the love go?

guess it's all love lost
