man down

joey

mic check

mic check

it go

okay the wait's up

waited up

really don't know where to start

niggas fresh home want me dead and gone

i'm darin' y'all

it's in arms reach when i'm sleep

i'm prepared for y'all

niggas bleed

big agrees

ain't nobody scared of y'all

besides

let me summarize

they ain't got to wherewithal

i'm every where

they never there

when i'm gon' hear from y'all?

y'all know me as joe

don't wanna see me as mouse

let me address all these rumors so they don't leave out the house

i mean it started with clue

that's when the bullshit begun

i was the best in my city

niggas knew i was the one

ain't have a dime to my name

still niggas thought that i won

and niggas that never did it want to tell me how it was done

i'm hearin' some wanna clap

they don't fuck with me

nigga

they say i never go back

well that's a luxury

nigga

it's somethin' i can afford

so what they say get ignored

they pray i'm on the wrong end of that ford

they want me man down

they want me man down

okay let's start it from scratch

put it all on line

my character's been defamed

i put it all online

told 'em that's where we were headed

said i was wrong all the time

and now we finally here

i waited a long ass time

been called every name in the book

been a liar

a deceiver

a cheater

a woman beater

am i all

am i neither?

been absorbin' the ether

robbin' paul to pay peter

high price to pay to strangers i been offering me to

i've been more than a leader

even with my back to the wall

thought i was finished forever when i was practicin' falls

now you second guessin' yourself

you gotta ask what you saw

they fishin'

wishin' it's fiction

but ain't no actin' at all

can't even fathom the gall

they mad i'm appalled

too much passion to call

nothin' but bars

ain't no fashion involved

how is path ain't adored

how the fuck they laughin'

i can blast through the door

ain't fathom havin' so much cash in the drawer

first they love me and then they hate me

then they love me again

first it's lovely and then it's ugly

then it's fuck me again

bitches don't text back and then they suck me again

but still it's none of my business what they think of me again

when we talk about skill

they just love again

i call 'em out for the kill

they just doubt me again

but i was born for the storm

i mean abnormal's the norm

maybe they wanna know how long will they mourn

they want me man down

they want me man down

i'm wishin' this was a dream

maybe it's smoke in this mirror

wish i could change it all just by blowin' smoke in the mirror

been such a long ride

wishin' i was on the side

to get caffeine pills to stay awake with sean price

if i was by eric garner

i'd have yelled at the pigs

gave him all my cash

he wouldn't have to sell that cig

shout to bobbi kristina

let her know that i love her

wish she was alive or didn't die the same as her mother

maybe my thinkin' is off

when i blink i get thoughts

of bullets shakin' the door

and tape around chinx' porsche

see it damaged my heart

i'd be right in yams' car

to get the purp out his cup

and get his hands off the bar

tell stack that i miss him

see we losin' a lot

i wanna hear from shakir

i still miss stuart scott

chris lighty

robin williams still to this day

i pray nobody ever feel that way

too many men die

they want me man down
