i wanna know

Singer: joe budden

how's everybody feeling out there? we good? let's talk to the sample right quick. i always pictured we'd be. it go like this. listen

let me tell you how i pictured this

a few houses

a couple businesses

striving for greatness

we would be each other's witnesses

and during beef

we both would put aside our differences

where i ain't flinch a bit making you insignificant

maybe kids and shit

perfect arithmetic

meaning we could build our own world and co-exist in it

she a synergy

sharing energy

let our souls mate in the air if you remember me

now here's what i did with it

went out my way to fuck these stripper chicks

lost good girls making them mistresses

just savages

missed marriages

they all was my babies

i needed those miscarriages

my worthless self when joe felt hurt

i went and targeted women who had no self worth

i relate to praying nightly feeling no spell work

when you can do it

but a stranger gotta go help first

i called moms on the phone

here's what i told her real quick

i said my 20s flew by with no control of the shit

her next sentences weirded out

forever whole with the grip

she said it go by even faster as the older you get

i wanna never dumb down

i'd have to lower my wit

ain't gotta post this on the gram for you to know what it is

a partner to trust

i'm thinking even bigger for us

mom should've told me this when we had shit to discuss

now either one of us is how we figured we'd be

sometimes the thought of what if still lives here with me

i always pictured we'd be

nah'mean? that's how i see it in my head though. ain't quite pan out like that. word up. let me tell you about some more of god's work though

i wanna know what this life's supposed to be like

i wanna know

wanna know

ah

i wanna know what this love's supposed to be like

i wanna know

wanna know

nah

i like it just like that

parks

let it run

a love that's tideful

never prideful

if you're truly better without me how can i spite you?

as i yearn for the greatest love i ever had

pardon me

kid

i'm still learning how to be a dad

we be in spots you shouldn't be in 'till you grown

i was absent so long i'm just not leaving you home

so nah

too much to learn

too much world out there

let me teach you about these hoes

too many girls out there

i respect your mom's tutelage

but that's my weird and my brain

what's she gon' do with this?

watch and learn

foolish kid

eyes light up with surprise

you're just like i am

i think that you're enjoying this ride just like i am

look

same pedigree theoretically

cut from a cloth that was gone

that's just genetically

one job in life to make you a much better me

greater feeling than i imagine this shit would ever be

you be feeling strong when you diss me in songs

i did the same my whole career

would never tell you it's wrong

whatever works out

whatever the price

get that embedded

even if at my expense

i'll pay it

you take the credit

had a power struggle when i thought your mom abused it

my hands were in bondage

useless

beyond the excuses

calm through it

it's crazy bond music

and we do it beautifully for our beautiful conduit

so right now i stand in a place i never stood before

finally filled the void in my life

i wasn't good before

fucking with these hoes

that energy i was putting forth

god

this was more like the fucking love i was looking for

now it's better than we pictured it'd be

and the supervised visits

would never have to relive it

little nigga will be

this is greater than us. greater than me. greater than anything i could ever imagine

man. i ain't talking to everbody. trey

what up though? what up? what up?

i wanna know what this life's supposed to be like

i wanna know

wanna know

ah

i wanna know what this love's supposed to be like

i wanna know

wanna know

i wanna know what this life's supposed to be like

i wanna know

wanna know

ah

i wanna know what this love's supposed to be like

i wanna know

wanna know
