Not Now I'm Busy Album Lyrics by Joyner Lucas

---

Put Me On

Joyner, yeah

I don't need no intro for you niggas, put my beat on (yeah)
Take them bullshit rappers out your playlist and put me on (yeah)
This the type of shit to blow the speakers out your Neon (uh)
Not right now, I'm busy, ho, don't call me, I'm on Piedmont (brr)
Hit me when the D gone (uh)
Man, the block is hot, this ain't no street for you to speed on (Joyner)
Ever since a youngin, always knew one day I'd be on (be on)
Sick and tired of strugglin', I know this ain't where I belong

No (whoa), this ain't where I belong (yeah)
'Member they all laughed at me when I put my CD on (huh)
Now I made some Ms and treat these bastards like some peons (huh)
Show these pussy niggas I got somethin' for them to bleed on, yeah
And tonight, I'm gettin' my freak on (freak on)
Broke up with my ho 'cause she too hard for me to cheat on
Way too many fishes in the sea for me to feed on (yeah)
I got me some, hold up (yeah), wait
To keep it one hunnid, I never gave up and it's probably 'cause I got no patience
If I gotta bully my way in this bitch, then I'm doin' whatever it's takin'
But just when I feel like I'm growin', it seems all my niggas on the same shit (yeah)
Funny, I'm thinkin' it's probably the women that make all these niggas complacent (uh)
I'm walkin' around in my mansion, I'm thinking 'bout days where I lived in the basement (uh)
But I never changed up my circle, I'm still in the buildin' with niggas I came with (Joyner)
I look at the moves a nigga was makin' (whoa)
I should have been on the news for all of the rules a nigga was breakin' (yeah), uh
I know I'm leavin' they stomach in knots (uh)
I live my life like a demon, I wonder if Jesus still love me or not (uh)
I tried to keep 'em from puttin' they hands on the stove when the oven was hot (uh)
This oughta be the best version of me when they want me to be stuck in a box
I ain't got time to f*ck with the clock, I'm duckin' the feds, I'm runnin' the block
I'm feelin' like Pac in Juice, I'm jumpin' on roofs when niggas are runnin' from cops
I swerve to the right, a word of advice, don't ever pretend to be somethin' you're not
And I'm always gon' be around whether you love me or not, bitch

And I don't need no intro for you niggas, put my beat on (yeah)
Take them bullshit rappers out your playlist and put me on (yeah)
This the type of shit to blow the speakers out your Nissan (uh)
Not right now, I'm busy, ho, don't call me, I'm on Piedmont (brr)
Just hit me when the D gone (uh)
Man, the block is hot, this ain't no street for you to speed on (brr)
Ever since a youngin, always knew one day I'd be on (be on)
Sick and tired of strugglin', I knew this ain't where I belong (Joyner, Joyner)

This ain't where I belong (uh)
I go TLC all in your bitch and get my creep on (mm)
Watch your f*cking tone, I'm not the one for you to speak on (uh)
I got on Céline, you rockin' Celine Dion
That's the shit you be on
I just turned your bird into a ex, I feel like Elon
She ain't buy my album, tell that ho to get her stream on
If the Celtics playin', shut the f*ck up when my team on
Joyner's not the one to scheme on
I pull out this chopper, blow some shots until your knee gone
We don't like your music, rather listen to some emo (emo)
Niggas treat your mixtape like some shit to roll some weed on
I ain't featurin' on your shit, you better dream on (yeah)
"Not right now, I'm busy," what I tell them when they keep on (uh)
This the type of shit to blow the speakers out your Neon (uh)
Take them bullshit rappers out your playlist and put me on

Put me on (put me on)
Uh, yeah
You don't wanna die of-, call toll-free
Now how the hell do I turn this camera on?
Here we go, I think I got it
So my name is Joyner Lucas

I'm Ill

Can you feel the beat within my heart?
Can't you see my love shine through dark?
Yo, this shit right here make me wanna get in my motherf*ckin' zone
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Yeah)
Can't you see my love shine through dark?
Can't you see that you must be a part
Of that beat in my heart? (Yeah)

I got ninety-nine problems, but a bitch could never be one
Stressin' 'bout hoes, that'll never be fun
Break a bitch heart, then step on each one
Better tell Ice Spice I could never be a munch
Talkin' my shit 'til my enemies come
Circlin' the block, I can never be spun
I done did shit you ain't never seen done
Now I'm layin' on the bread, I'm a sesame bun (ah)
Uh, I got loose change (whoa)
I'm a bad motherf*cker like Bruce Wayne (ah)
In a Mulsanne (yeah)
New year, new me, this a new name (Joyner)
Put my new son name on a new chain (whoa)
I made new money, now I want new things (whoa)
And everybody lookin' at me like, "You changed"
Bitch, you comin' for the top of the food chain
Whoever told you they don't listen to me really told a lie to y'all
I'm comin' to get the shit I need, if you think you got it all
If I don't win a Grammy, at least I'ma get to poppin' off
And hit the red carpet and creep with a f*ckin' Molotov
Blow that motherf*cker to pieces, then make a monologue
You wanted to make it tougher for me, but as long as I'ma ball
Put these rap niggas to sleep, I don't need a Tylenol
F*ck the world, I got a reason to take the condom off
Shit is deeper than deep seas and I'm even deeper
Than the sea creatures that breathe heat that'll freeze beaches
And you couldn't see me, even in dreams with a psychic medium
And couldn't read me if they was teachin' encyclopedias
In HD, if I leave, it'll make it easier
I'm not a human, I'm half demon or ET and them
My DNA is a cheat sheet with a key ingredient
A green beast, and I eat beats and motherf*cker, I'm ill

Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (Joyner, Joyner)
Can you feel the beat? (Motherf*cker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (yeah)
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Motherf*cker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (Joyner)
Can you feel the beat? (Motherf*cker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (yeah)
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Grrah, look)

I got a lot of evil heatin' up inside of me (whoa)
They say I'm crazy, but I know that's how I gotta be (hey)
I'm tired of jealous niggas tellin' me they proud of me
But really on the low, they be plottin' how to slide on me (wow)
Got tired of livin' in the hood and seein' poverty (Joyner)
I made it flip and then invested it in property (whoa)
I bought the buildings that I grew up in beside of me
And gave 'em to my niggas, now my niggas play Monopoly (okay)
I ain't got feelings for a ho, someone check on this bitch
Picture me cryin' 'bout a regular bitch (yeah)
No, I ain't cocky, I been on this shit
Better open my door when I step in this bitch (whoa)
I ain't got time for no feminine shit (whoa)
Goin' back and forth on no internet shit (whoa)
Shorty run game, I'm ahead of that trick
Can't play a real nigga, I invented that shit (grrah)
Niggas told me I should drop out of school and I graduated
Never knew I would know the shit that I knew, but I'm glad I made it
I was comfortable with breakin' the rules and infatuated
With the thoughts of gettin' up out this room and evacuatin'
Lot of shit that I had to prove and then use my imagination
I just pray that I be different than you when I'm acclimated
From the moment I was born, in the booth, I was activated
Doctor tried to pull my head out the womb then decapitate it
Now I'm on a mission to get respect and I hope you givin' it
Want every pinch of this red cent, every single Benjamin
Don't even mention it, I been cool, but I'm kinda menacing
And my adrenaline rush weapon is my specimen
And goddamn, digest and apply pressure
And I know my pen is the diabetes to my insulin
Is not Ritalin, it's me into my element
If God givin' it, I'm livin' it, motherf*cker, I'm ill

Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat? (Motherf*cker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Motherf*cker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat? (Motherf*cker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat within my heart?

Can you feel the beat within my heart?
Can't you see my love shine through dark?
Can't you see that you must be a part
Of that beat in my heart?

Waiting On This

Too many times I told these niggas stop playin' with me, go play with your kids
I don't wanna hear no opinions from people who still got dreams of makin' it big
I don't really care about what you would do if you had this bread or the things you would get
If you was me, you wouldn't work this hard, you don't know how long I been waitin' on this

I'm way too busy to hate on a bitch
Who bank account look like she bakin' on tips
I came up from nothin', way layin' on bricks
Been sleepin' in bandos and payin' no rent
Everyone love you when fame don't exist
When I made a million, they say that I switched
My watch is too pricey, my chain is on lit
My diamonds are icey, I'm skatin' on this
Skatin' like Gretzky back in the '80s
I'm runnin' from 12, but that isn't Brady
You niggas is jail but that doesn't faze me
I keep to myself if that's what it takes me (Joyner)
The day that you bastards'll play me
Will be the same day me and Jennifer Lopez announce that we gon' be havin' a baby
I'm havin' some twins, there's two in the back
You want the fame, but you wouldn't last
The difference between me and you is you trash
I'm really a hunnid, you doin' too bad (doin' too bad)
Uh (a hunnid)
Look, if I'm at a ten, then you like a two
If you was a ten, then I'd be two hunnid
Divided by two, I'm too good at math
Look, they got me started, I'm back on my shit again
She got a fatty, I thought about hittin' it
Hit it for practice like I been auditionin'
Cut a bitch off when she started the bickerin' (Joyner)
Cut a bitch off with the scissors they when they open the business
And cut the red ribbon with, nigga, I'm ignorant

Too many times I told these niggas stop playin' with me, go play with your kids
I don't wanna hear no opinions from people who still got dreams of makin' it big
I don't really care about what you would do if you had this bread or the things you would get
If you was me, you wouldn't work this hard, you don't know how long I been waitin' on this

Mm, yeah, I been waitin' on this
Devil in the booth, I'm Satan on this
Don't touch the stove, I'm bakin' on this (way too hot, too hot)
I'm Freddy, I'm Mike, I'm Chucky, I'm Jason on this
Run for your life, you shakin' on this
Got somethin' for a f*ck nigga hatin' on this

Look, all my celebrity crushes, I hit 'em already (ayy)
Niggas be mad 'cause I did it already
I told them make sure that my dinner all ready (Joyner)
And I did it all, ain't no shit you could tell me
Bought what I wanted, ain't shit you could give me
Got plenty of Benjis, but now it's more money, more problems
I should have listened to Biggie and this type of livin' is not for beginners
You kinda losin', so I make decisions
Tried to be cool, but I'm not for the business
I got the shooters like rock, paper, scissors
I keep the shooters like rock, paper, scissors
I made the choice, it was not they decision
I'm not gonna listen to rappers who sound like broke records
But no, you did not make the Guinness
I'm highly offended
Only way you niggas gonna get to where you want but you gotta be a gimmick
And even if you made it to the bottom of the pit
And try to climb up to the top, you know it probably be a minute
Niggas always wonder how I'm feelin' and I tell 'em that I feel like
I done played the f*ckin' lottery and hit it
And if a bitch want me, she got to be a ten
And if she sendin' me selfies, they gotta be explicit (Joyner)

Too many times I told these niggas stop playin' with me, go play with your kids
I don't wanna hear no opinions from people who still got dreams of makin' it big
I don't really care about what you would do if you had this bread or the things you would get
If you was me, you wouldn't work this hard, you don't know how long I been waitin' on this

Uh, wait, I been waitin' on this
Devil in the booth, I'm Satan on this
Don't touch the stove, I'm bakin' on this (way too hot, too hot)
I'm Freddy, I'm Mike, I'm Chucky, I'm Jason on this
Run for your life, you shakin' on this
Got somethin' for a f*ck nigga hatin' on this

I been waitin' on this (uh, Joyner, Joyner, ayy)
I been waitin' on this (not now, bitch)
I been waitin' on this (uh, whoa)

Broski

I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' onto solid ground
Fallin' onto solid ground
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' onto solid ground

Today, I had a conversation with one of my bros
My homie, he's been close to me since we were six years old
He calls my mama, "Mom," he seen all of my highs and lows
From school fights to sharin' clothes
From B-ball to f*ckin' hoes
He sat me down and let me know some things he never told me
Things he never got a chance to say or even show me
He said, "I know I don't tell you often, maybe not even at all
But I'm so proud of you and your success, broski
And I admire how you chase your dreams, that shit's courageous
Thank you for never switchin' up when you got rich and famous
Thank you for never givin' up on me or havin' lesser love for me
Whenever we lose touch and be on different pages
I hope you know I'm here for you the way you there for me
It's crazy, you done more for me than all my family tree
And when I say I got your back, just know I really squeeze
I make some niggas really bleed, that's really what I really mean
I'm proud of how much you matured and grew, but you still you
The world knows you for your talent, but I know the real you
And all your trauma's behind closed doors, you'll never heal through
And all the pain, you act like you don't feel, but you still do
I love the fact you keep your shit together mentally
You work for your respect, don't need no empathy
When people look you over and shut you out intentionally
You always said, 'If they don't f*ck with you, they will eventually'
And remember when I went to prison?
When I did a bid and you the only one that came to visit?
Put money on my books and sent me pictures of some bitches?
They don't make 'em like you no more, my nigga, you just different
And bro, you ain't have to pay my niece's tuition
Or set me up with that new job and try to teach me the business
Always quick to hold me down before you speak your opinion
What goes around, comes around and that's the reason you winnin'
But listen, I was thinkin', maybe
Since you my broski and I been there since we was babies
You can hit the bank and break me off with somethin' wavy?
Maybe just a couple hundred-thousand? Nothin' crazy
'Cause I been hurtin' lately and I deserve it, maybe
And if you can't do it, that's cool, it ain't like I'll be angry
You still my broski and I love you, but that's kind of shady
'Cause I been goin' through some shit, it ain't like I'm just lazy
So maybe you should pay me
I quit my job 'cause I don't wanna work for no other niggas
What maybe works for some, don't work for some other niggas
Yeah, they pay good, but you know I'm a stubborn nigga
Plus, I know you got my back, right?
If not, then f*ck it, I ain't askin' again
Just don't forget who walked with you when your back to the wind
And don't forget who's ideas that got you rappin' again
When you lost your passion and got lazy, and was slackin' and shit
And please don't treat me like them niggas that be askin' for shit
'Cause I never asked you for a damn thing
I'd rather pull a hamstring and then run across some fan blades while jumpin' out a airplane
While sittin' in the damn rain, while beggin' for some spare change
I'm sorry that we all can't be talented and rich like you
The little people still struggle, we ain't lit like you
And if we bein' honest
It don't really seem like you want me to chase my dreams so I can get like you
And lately, you been on some sucker shit, that's what I see, broski
I hope you know that hater shit is a disease, broski
'Cause last time I checked, we was a f*ckin' team
And just because you got paper, don't mean that you better than me, broski
I know everything about you
I know every single secret
I know where you rest your head at
I know every bitch you sleep with
I know where you keep your bread at
I pretended that I don't see shit
You a greedy motherf*cker, you been hopin' I don't be shit
You been gettin' fat while I been starvin'
You been buyin' every car and house while I been in the garbage
I deserve everything you got and more, and that's a bargain
You just wanna shit on me and see me fall, and that's alarmin'
You just hopin' I'ma tarnish
You don't want me to be nothin'
You don't wanna open doors for me
You did a lil' somethin', but you could've did a lil' more for me
No wonder why your father turned his back on you, unfortunately
No wonder why your niggas set them traps on you to sorcery
You ain't nothin' but a phony, you a liar, you a snake
And you can rap but you ain't Kendrick, you ain't Cole, you ain't Drake
Can't believe I called you family, I should shoot you in the face
Used to act like you was real, but always knew that you was fake
You let the fame get to your head and all it did was made you whack
I always knew the day would come when you would stab me in my back
One day your money gon' be gone and I'll be happy, that's a fact
And then you'll move back to the hood and I'll be laughin' when you back
But you my nigga and I love you
And I wanna see you win, I wouldn't place no one above you
And you always been my friend since we was steppin' in the puddles
Real niggas don't pretend 'cause you're my brother, you my double
You my motherf*ckin' twin, and I wanna let you know how I appreciate the things you show me
It's kind of hard to trust niggas, that's why I keep you closely
And look, I know that I don't tell you often, maybe not even at all
But I'm so proud of you and your success, broski"

I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' onto solid ground
Fallin' onto solid ground
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' onto solid-
(Can't take care of later-)
(Only intended for playing cards-)

Fake Promises

Fakes promises
Promises
I'm tryna show you somethin' different, you know what I mean? Uh
They don't mean nothin' to me
They don't mean nothin'
They don't mean nothin'

I'm attracted to your energy, you're too official (yeah)
You a baddie and these other hoes ain't f*ckin' with you
I just kinda wish that you wasn't so superficial
Keep it real, I feel like that mentality don't even fit you (word)
I'm tryna show you somethin' different, take you by the hand (uh)
Maybe change the way you think and show you how to plan
F*ck a Chanel bag, I'll put you onto buyin' land
Sit you down, show you how to build a castle by the hand (uh), yeah
I'll show you how to do more (yeah)
Show you how to invest one to make two more
Show you how to turn three into a few more
Show you how to turn a bus pass into a two-door (Joyner)

You said, you promised you gon' open up some new doors (yeah)
You said, you promised you gon' elevate at full force (yeah)
But you keep doin' the same shit and now you're too lost
I know that you'll be doin' better if you only knew more (yeah)

Fakes promises
It's like when I look at you, I see so much more than you probably could even see in yourself
(Promises) real shit (real shit)
It's like these other hoes is basic, you not basic, you got potential
You feel what I'm sayin'?
They don't mean nothin' to me
You just gotta learn how to separate yourself from all the noise (they don't mean nothin')
Gotta let go of all your distractions (they don't mean nothin')
Focus

Look
I wanna help you better yourself (yeah)
I could give you money or show you how to get it yourself (uh)
The grass ain't greener, unless you wet it yourself
I hate it when you be impressed in niggas and never yourself (Joyner)
I'm tryna show you how to take you higher (yeah)
These other niggas tryna show you how to change your tire
It's gon' take more than clothes just to make you flyer
I'll show you how to make your own brand, and I'll pay designers
But I'll still buy you that Chanel bag (yeah)
Then we invest in whatever stocks Chanel has (uh)
I ain't wanna see you fall but you fell fast
I want you to have it all, make some real cash (yeah)

Said you gon' open up some news doors
You said, you promised you gon' elevate at full force (for real)
But you keep doin' the same shit and now you're too lost
I know that you'll be doin' better if you only knew more (yeah)

It's like you livin' in the moment and shit you not really thinkin' 'bout what's next
You know what I mean?
It ain't no nigga who's gonna tell you this shit so I gotta let you know
And your friends are cool, don't get me wrong, I like your friends but
They don't got no niggas in their life to really put 'em on game like that so
They gon' try to steer you over there but
Ain't really nothin' over there but the same old movie and shit playin' over and over
Fakes promises
Ain't nobody gon' tell you this shit, I gotta put you on game (promises)
I'm tryna stimulate your mind, give you some shit to think about when you by yourself
You know what I mean?
They don't mean nothin' to me (Joyner)
They don't mean nothin'
They don't mean nothin'

(According to this very latest report, a tornado was reported by-)
(Handsome, charming-)

When I Need Love

Uh, drinkin' all night, I'm faded (yeah)
Starin' at pictures, anxious (yeah)
Prayin' one day, we go back to before we became some distant strangers (yeah)
But now we on different pages (uh)
I heard you just switched locations
Swear that I hope you just don't hate me
Hit me back when you get this message
Hit me back when you get this message (yeah)
It's been too long
Probably moved on, but I really got a million questions (whoa)
Promise I don't got no ill intentions
Tell me what I gotta do to feel your presence (yeah)
I miss your vibe
I know we lost time, but I'm hopin' you ain't disconnected
Maybe you can give me just a second
Thankful I can really even get this blessin', mm
And I been tryna find a way to get inside of your thoughts
I wonder if you ever think about me at all
Or do you like it better when I'm not as involved?
But tryna keep myself together without droppin' the ball
Funny how the world really gotta evolve
Unless you live a life with me, I don't want it at all

I'm like let me explain (let me explain)
But I must speak first
Lot of shit done really cut me, hurt
Couldn't love me 'til I love me first
Had to learn that love means work (work)
And my heart will deliver that
Hopin' even though I lost you, I get it back
If it comin' with a cost, could I live with that?
I'd get with that
Baby, we can talk?
Baby, you can come through now
Baby, we can do a little one-two now
Maybe you could let a nigga love you down
When I lost you, I lost your friendship too
So really, I'ma trust who now?
You're all that I got, so if I don't got you
Tell me who am I supposed to run to now? Huh

Who can I run to (who can I run to?)
To share this empty space? (Tell me)
Who can I run to
When I need love? (Oh, oh)
Who can I run to (who can I run to?)
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to
When I need love?

Look, where you been at now?
Tryna figure out where your head at now
Everything I did, I regret that now
They say true love you gon' find just once
If you find its touch, don't step back now
I told them other girls, they can sit back down
I love the way you look when you win that down
I mean that too 'cause you the one-of-one and I believe that's you
I never met nobody that can be that cool
I know you see me lookin', I can see that view
And everything I say, you can believe that's true
I never knew that when I f*cked up I would be that fool
How could I be that cruel? Should be eatin' at me
I wanna eat at you
And if you put your legs open, I'ma eat that too

I'm like let me explain (let me explain)
But I must speak first
Lot of shit done really cut me, hurt
Couldn't love me 'til I love me first
Had to learn that love means work
Had to learn that the hard way
Tired of runnin' every time we have a hard day
Had to learn that I was lovin' you the wrong way
Can you call me? Or could you unblock me?
Or maybe you could come through now
Maybe we could do a little one-two now
Maybe you can let a nigga love you down (yeah)
When I lost you, I lost your friendship too
So really, I'ma trust who now?
You're all that I got, so if I don't got you
Tell me who am I supposed to run to now? Huh

Who can I run to (who can I run to?)
To share this empty space? (Tell me)
Who can I run to
When I need love? (Oh, oh)
Who can I run to (who can I run to?)
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to
When I need love?

Who can-
Who can I run to? (Who can I run to?)
Oh
When I need love?
Who can-
Who can I run to?
When I need love?

Si señora, sino por el
It's like damn, man, what the f*ck is wrong with this camera, man?
Mm

Cut U Off

Joyner, Joyner
Yeah

I can tell they switchin' when I read the signs
Ain't too many left in my circle, had to re-design (ayy)
I got comfortable with disappointment, so I'll be just fine (yeah)
Rather be alone, I've been valuin' my peace of mind (yeah)
Keep it funky, we don't need to vibe
If you hit my line and I don't answer, don't you be surprised (yeah)
You ain't on my wave (whoa), hope that you can read between the lines (whoa)
I don't think we need no ties (yeah), I don't, ah
Yeah, rather not associate with suckers, we don't need no ties
Sick of niggas actin' like they motherf*ckin' sneaker size
You ain't real, I knew it, you too good at playin' peek-and-hide (yeah)
I ain't wanna do it, but I'm 'bout to be on demon time
Yeah, twin Glocks, call 'em Nina Sky
They gon' move your body, then somebody 'bout to see you die
Bitch, don't make me violate, you gon' make me show my evil side
Bitch, don't get me started, 'cause you know that I'ma need to slide
Wait (Joyner), I honestly might
I used to call you my twin, but really, the truth is we not too alike
I used to think all that loyalty shit is as easy as ridin' a bike (damn)
I did a lot for the same niggas who wanna kill me and drop me on sight (sight)
Yeah, I went to war with some niggas
Who stabbed me and threw me on top of the knife
That was the day that I realized
As long as I'm winnin', a nigga can plot on my life (wow)
Yeah, I told myself, boy, you gotta just shoot when the shit hit the fan
If I make it out then I'ma stick to the plan
I hope that you bitches are good with the hands, I'm startin' a fight
Right? And I'm on, so don't tell me when I'm off (ayy)
That's a sacrifice, they don't tell me what it cost (grrah)
We done grew apart and I know I'm better off (ayy)

And you used to be my dawg, now I gotta cut you off
Cut you off, cut you off, and I know that I'll be better off
Better off, yeah (Joyner), f*ck it, yeah, I had to cut you off (whoa)
Cut you off, cut you off, and I know that I'll be better off
'Cause I'm a boss (ayy), the f*ck you thought? (F*ck you thought)
Ah, yeah, yeah

Bad intentions, and know that I would have put you in position
F*ckin' around with your friends
Advice they put in, ain't helpin' you get it, uh
I bought this bitch for my girl, this another Bentley
Hate to cut you straight off, would've put you in it
You've been runnin' your mouth, tellin' all the business
Gotta know that ain't loyal, I ain't f*ckin' with it
Another tape I put out, that's another million
She leave out, 'nother enterin' in a minute
She don't like me, I know she just want to get it
Had to kick the bitch out 'bout playin' with me
I ain't friendly, they know I ain't linkin' with 'em
Runnin' off with that sack, put it in the middle
Got like three-hundred racks in a condominium
Got a thirty, jump out and I'm sprayin' with it, uh
Make me cut you off, she know that I mean it
I can't trust these niggas, that ain't easy, easy
Ooh, let me find out you schemin', okay, that's a good reason

But f*ck it, now I gotta cut you off
Cut you off, cut you off, and I know that I'll be better off
Better off, yeah (Joyner), f*ck it, yeah, I had to cut you off (whoa)
Cut you off, cut you off, and I know that I'll be better off
Better off, better off, yeah, f*ck it, yeah, I had to cut you off

I gotta go back to the times when I was packagin'
Tryin' to get out the back of the projects where my auntie live
Up in the trap or apartments, couldn't sit back and recline

Best For Me

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

Yeah, I got somebody I love (yeah)
Someone who's really important to me, but now they addicted to drugs (damn)
Someone who not who they used to be and we ain't been keepin' in touch (yeah)
I ain't gonna say any names at all 'cause I don't want no one to judge (whoa)
But I wrote this song in hopes when they'll hear it, they'll never forget who they was
I hope you feelin' your spirit enough (Joyner)
I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it as much (whoa)
I know we ain't talked in a while, but f*ck it, I really don't care what it was
I wanna reach out, but you keep on shuttin' me down, or you ain't been carin' as much
And what the f*ck happened to you? (F*ck happened to you?)
You're losin' a fight (damn)
I never thought I'd see the day that you let addiction ruin your life
Everyone callin' that shit a disease and you makin' feel like you in the right
But I hate the fact that you really be usin' that as an excuse to do what you like
Or do what you might (do what you might, whoa)
And I keep on prayin' and reachin' for you
I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I been seein' in you
Hope your reflection'll send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you
If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believin' in you
When I gotta tell you truth (tell you the truth)
'Cause I'm 'bout to lose it (lose it)
And you in denial about it and just wanna make up a million excuses
Tearin' our family apart, but you'll leave us scarred and everyone bruises
Every decision affectin' us all and if you get lost, then everyone loses
For real
And I'ma be next to leave
I know that God got a plan and He ain't fulfillin' your destiny
Much as I need you, I will not be stickin' around or watchin' you rest in peace
I promise, I love you, but I gotta do what's best for me

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

Look, I know you been callin' for me (yeah)
You hittin' my phone, but I been alone so long I'm harder to reach (Joyner)
I know you ain't say any names, but I got a feeling you talkin' to me
I hate when these demons get into my soul, I feel like I'm caught in the beefs (uh)
How do I let go of something I know is bigger and stronger than me?
If I could be honest, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not who you want me to be (nah)
Nobody is perfect, not even you, so why you keep targettin' me?
I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you startin' to preach
I feel like a dog on a leash, it's not what I need
Livin' in hell, warned you when I gotta leave, like how can I breathe?
And how you gon' tell me addiction's not a disease? F*ck do you mean?
If it's not a disease, then why has it gotten to me? It's not what it seems
But you always be makin' me feel like the problem's me
I'm not gonna be who you want me to be, let God decide it for me
And speakin' of God, how the f*ck you know all of the plan's He's gotten for me?
So give me a break
I been inchin' away from tryna get outta this dream, I'm driftin' away
How come you only there for me when I be tryna get clean? My biggest mistake
Is me wishin' that things were different, I feel like the drugs is made for sinnin'
It's why I been stuck in the same position, f*ck
I'm fallin', but I cannot budge
Been wonderin' why I'm in love with a strange addiction
And why the f*ck you always playin' the victim
Lot of this shit that you hate to mention
It sucks 'cause I had to taint your vision
But ain't nothin' left for me
So you could just quit addressin' me
I guess it's just my destiny
So take me as I am or let me be, tired of you stressin' me
'Cause shit, I gotta do what's best for me

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

Three Little Pigs

You know you supposed to be sleep, right?
And you gettin' too old for these bedtime stories too
But aight, I'ma read you a story
But you gotta make a deal with me though
After I read you this, you goin' to bed
That's the deal, alright
So this story right here
Is called the Three Little Pigs

So there were Three Little Pigs, they was all grown up
And they were drinkin' some hot coffee, and eatin' donuts
It was a beautiful sunny day
Some real perfect weather, and the pigs was dressed the same
'Cause they all worked together
And that job ain't really easy, and their work is kinda scary
So they all got water guns, that's their favorite thing to carry
And they'll scorch you more than once, if they think it's necessary
But we'll talk about that later, let's get back to the story
Deep inside the forest was a family of wolves in a pack
Even though they had sharp teeth and they were black
Ain't really mean that they'll attack
Just means that they were trapped
Because the color of their fur made some believe that they was bad, now
I know that sounds sad but ain't nobody care 'cause
The problem with the wolves is they were never treated fair and
No matter where they go, only one thing is clear
That as long as you're a wolf, the pigs gon' be scared so
The forest and the town were separated
And if the wolves wanted to come around, they hesitated
'Cause they knew they wasn't welcomed there, so every time they roamed
They always said a prayer in hopes that they could make it home
The night was gettin' cold and all the food was runnin' low
And then right here is a picture of some pots on the stove
Some empty cabinets, some old bread with the mold (let me flip the page real quick)
Then one of the wolf said they gon' drive up to the store
And so we hopped inside his car, and before he cranked the key
He put his seatbelt on and buckled up to be as safe can be
Followed every traffic rule on the way from A to Z
And then he went to-, man, let me-, let me skip to the good part
So after he bought some groceries and he was done for good
Then he put the food inside in trunk as fast as he could
Then he started drivin' perfectly and headed towards the woods
Until he seen the pigs' car and knew this probably wasn't good
The pigs on the prowl started speedin' up and yellin' loud, "Pull over right now"
"Turn the car off and throw the keys on the ground"
"Then step out, and get on your knees and don't even make a sound"
The wolf said, "Wow" (wow)
"How is this allowed?
I got my license, registration, why you tryna take me down?"
And he was real scared 'cause he knew what the pigs about
So he refused to get out and started speedin' to house
Then he pulled up, hopped out, almost fell down
But ran inside the front door, that's when he locked the pigs out
Then the pigs screamed loud, "Get up out this house now or
I'ma huff, I'm puff, I'ma blow this house down" (down)
And now they got the house surrounded
Pointin' all their water guns, 'bout to shoot some water rounds
Kicked the door down and all they heard was water sounds
That's what happens when the pigs fear you
So here's the moral of the story, with a clear view
No matter who you're with, or where you're at, or where to
There's always gon' be Three Little Pigs livin' near you

Goodnight, buddy

Better have every single penny and don't be late
All the runnin' and hidin' you doin', won't be safe
We ain't talkin' to 9-1-1 to negotiate
I'ma f*ck all your baby mamas and procreate
Give your son a new little brother, I hope he hate
Got a bullet for every nigga that told me, "Wait"
No more ramen and OJ, I need a Kobe steak (grr)
Sick and tired of niggas braggin', better give me your jewelry
If I don't take it off then you'll be givin' it to me (bah)
I murder every bully that be gettin' unruly
This for every nigga that thought they was livin' a movie (grr)
Way too many on my list that was darin' to move me
This for anybody that was swearin' they knew me
I'll take every motherf*cker who do animal cruelty
Line 'em all up in a row, so they hand me the Uzi, ah (grrah)
And you gon' see what happens next
'Cause when the clock hits stop I can laugh at death (ayy)
I got a bulletproof heart, I don't have a vest (ayy)
Before I die, ask God if I passed the test (bah-bah, bah-bah)
Take all my money out the crib then I cash a check (whoa)
Then give it all of it to my kids, that's my last request (whoa)
If you had twenty-four hours of action left (whoa)
Then tell me what you gon' do if your ass was next? (Grrah, bah-bah)

What would you do? (Twenty-four hours)
What would you do? (Twenty-four hours)

Where would you go? (Twenty-four hours)
And what would you choose? (Twenty-four hours)

Would you go crazy because of it
Kill every nigga you holdin' a grudge against (grrah)
Line up the plug and then steal you a hundred bricks (bah)
Slap any nigga that did any sucka shit (bah-bah-bah)
Run in the crib and then take what you wanna get
Load up the choppers and scheme on the government (grr)
Twenty-four hours is all the you gonna get
Would you go stupid or would you do none of it? (None of it, none of it, none of it)

Hey, Doc, what's the news?
Doc says, "I have some bad news and some really bad news
The bad news is that you only have twenty-four hours to live"
F*ck, can't believe it, oh my God, what could be worst news than that?
Doctor says, "I couldn't get ahold of you yesterday"
Hahaha, haha

Still Alright

Tell me, what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah)
Got a lot on my mind
Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind
Been tryna mature without growin' out of my prime
I thought I was ready, it really wasn't my time, I know
I live in my head
I said I'd be rich and I did what I did
But I don't do this shit for me, I do this shit for my kids
I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave
I'm tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free
And nothin' really more important than protectin' they peace
I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me
When I was chasin' all the paper, with no second to breathe
And I tell myself don't ever give up and accept the defeat
And my premonitions already written indefinitely
But I never listen, I know my vision and never could see
And truthfully, I wasn't even supposed to make it this far (ayy)
Or take it this far
I know that God got me, I'm thankin' Him for it (yeah)
Soon as I get it, then I'll be payin' Him for it
You know you made it when all the haters support (haters support)
The haters support (yeah)
Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts
When they tell me be humble, then I'ma take in too far
Shit, I used to feel like Will, now I'm feelin' like, uh
Made mistakes, can't get it right, yeah
Niggas can't stand me, I'm livin' like, ooh
Tryna win a Grammy like Killer Mike, uh
I'm a underdog like Killer Mike, yeah
Took a lot of Ls tryna win the fight, ooh
Got back up, I'm still alright, yeah
I be alright, I'm still alright, yeah
And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy
Hopin' I be livin' long enough to sleep with the enemy
Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me
I wish they could look inside my soul and see what they did to me
I got a fire inside me and it's sleepin' within me
When I look inside the mirror, all I see is the little me
Wishin' I could break out, but I hope the evil don't hinder me
If I overcome it, then I'll be achievin' the victory, yeah

What you really want? What it really get?
I remember livin' my life with a million fears
Over the years, I thought I had a million ideas
So I had to find peace and release nonsense
I do it for the art, not the content
All I really wanted was acceptance
Now as a man, I can vent this, f*ck that, end this
Do what you love in this life, don't let hate in your life
No, don't work for a job 'til you eighty, then look back like
"Goddamn, I really done gave 'em my life"
If I save just one life with this verse, then it's worth it
If this is your future, you need to reverse it
Ain't nobody perfect
Man, f*ck all that cake, it ain't worth it
Just take what you buried deep down and inert
That I know that you heard it
The voice from within, not above, so do what you love
Ain't no way I could keep it up feelin' this feelin'
It's creepin' up, tellin' me I will not be enough
No, wasn't bein' me enough
I think I see enough of what I don't want in my life
Give a damn if it's right, it's the reason I write
Need a reason to fight 'cause I need it in sight
With these monsters in sight, it get darker than what I would like
But I know I'm alright

Ain't no way that you could never know my struggle
As a child, goin' through shit way harder than blowin' out a bubble
I would know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability
The water that was flowin' out a funnel
I could channel the aggression and depression
For only a moment when I had to realize rappin' ain't it
When there wasn't no more money from a record deal
I couldn't get another one, so I was about to quit
Had to get a job
Didn't wanna be a slob, even though I would rather be spittin' bars
Then one day, somebody saw me at work and said
"Twista, why are you in here washin' cars?"
That hurt my heart
That shit tore me apart
So I prayed up to God
That if I ever got another chance at music, I won't take it granted
I'ma dunk if I get the lob
Ran into AK from Do Or Die
He said, "Come to the studio, I'ma put you on a song"
"Start my new gig in the mornin', but I'ma come after"
This is my chance to get back on
Thankful that I was livin' at my brother's house
But I want my own, so I'ma finna go in
I walked in the lab and the beat was by Trackster
Title of the song was "Po Pimp"
I said, "Ooh, snap"
I told 'em I'm about to jack
Spit it funky like I'm a mack
I'ma come off so hard on this track
It's gon' change my condition and change the way people rap
Might be broke as shit and ain't collectin' no dough from tips
But I be spittin' more game than a mouth full of poker chips
And I was glad that the world recognized how dope this is
And the prayer was effective
If you stressed and depressed, then let this come and soak in your brain
First time that I ever played "Po Pimp" for somebody, I was on the way to work on the train
And I didn't quit it 'til the record was droppin'
But when I did it, I knew it was right
'Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words
It get darker than what I would like, but I know I'm alright

Shapes that s-
By the time you get this video, it might be too late
Now people are gathering at Blue Slide Park-

How Much Do You Love Me?

You don't love me
You say you do, but I never know if you do or you don't, because
You never tell me how much
If you really loved me then, you would tell me how much
I tell you all the time, so you gonna tell me or what?

I love you so much there's not enough that I could say (say)
If I put how much I love you on a scale, it'll probably break (break)
I love you more than all the galaxies in outer space
And every single star, and every solar system out the way (way)
I love you to the point that if I didn't have the cash
And you needed money fast, then I'd probably rob a bank (facts)
And if there wasn't food and I could never eat again
Unless I had to wait for you, then I guess I gotta wait (wait)
I love you more than every drop of water on this planet (planet)
Includin' all the droplets in the clouds that haven't landed (landed)
I love you more than Jack loved Rose on the Titanic
And I'll even buy a boat in case you ever wanna chance it
If you was trapped on an island, never seen again
Then I'd try to swim to get you even if I couldn't swim (word)
And if I couldn't find you 'cause your destiny depends
On the day I stop breathin', then I'll never breathe again (again)
I love you more than all the words in every single language (yeah)
More than every letter in every book on all the pages (uh-huh)
More than all the detail on every picture painted
Probably love you more than I love me, and that shit kinda dangerous (word)
If you had alopecia, and your hair never grew
Then I would shave my shit bald just so I could look like you
If you had one arm and you couldn't tie your shoes
Then I might cut off my arm just to give that shit to you (facts)
I love you more than Wendy Williams loves tea (tea)
Probably love you more than Adam ever loved Eve (Eve)
And if you killed someone and told me, then I'd help you hide the body
Which means I'll be an accomplice, but it must be (be)
Clean up all the DNA then burn the evidence away
While I'm plottin' our escape right out of the country ('try)
'Cause when I say I'm ride or die, that means I'm really by your side
Ridin' 'til I gotta die and my blood bleed (bleed, Joyner)
I think I love you so much there's not enough that I could say (say)
If I put how much I love you on a scale, it'll probably break (word)
I love you more than Chrisean Rock loves Blueface (yeah)
I love you more than the ladies love some Cool J (J)
I love you so much that I would step in front a bullet
If a nigga ever pull it, I'll be Bobby Boucher
If we was broke and homeless and my old career was over
I'll be singin' on the corner for a little loose change (facts)
I love the fact that God took His time when He made you (mm)
I love you as you are, I hope you don't ever change you (change you)
I love you to the point that if I ever let you down
I probably won't forgive myself 'cause I don't know how I would face it (yeah)
My doctor say it isn't healthy how much I praise you (mm)
I love you so much, I pray for you when I embrace you (yeah)
On a scale from one to ten, it's too much for me to rate you
But I love you so much I, I, I hate you (I hate you, I hate you, I hate you)

Come rain, come sun
Love you 'til this world is done (ooh)
Love you 'til this world is done (ooh, done)
Done

Not Now I'm Busy

Don't tell me that shit didn't record, man
Alright, let's try this again
My name is Joyner Lucas
I'm from Worcester, Massachusetts
And, uh
By this time you get this video, it might be too late
I did something really, really bad, man
I killed somebody tonight, yeah
I did
And I don't know if I shoulda did it, but
I felt like it was necessary, nah mean?
The person who I killed was the old me (the old me)
Yeah, see
I realized that everything I ever thought I knew about myself was wrong
And I realized that I had to sacrifice who I was
For who I wanna become (wanna become)
And I when I say, "Not now, I'm busy"
That means I was too busy to face myself (face myself)
And too busy to face the truth
And the truth is (truth is)
The old me got tooken advantage of
The old me got f*cked over
The old me got beat down
The old me got shit on and spitted on and lied to
And even though I tried to forgive
And force myself to live with the hurt that I hide behind a smile
While the water overflows as I hold my breath
And block my nose in hopes that I do not drown
And in that moment, I realized that I was lost and couldn't be found
And I needed to heal, I just didn't know how
So I grabbed that gun and did what had to be done
'Cause I couldn't hide, I couldn't run
I just had to die and every drop of blood
Was for every tear that I ever bottled up, now it's a flood
So f*ck who you thought I was, you piece of shit
The old me says please forgive, the new me says eat a dick
The old me was supposed to give, the new me don't owe you shit
The old me just don't exist, so f*ck you, you-

I don't need emotions, I need endorphins
(Keep it down, keep it down, shh) oh, whoa
Don't know the pain, that it come with the game
Don't know the sun gon' come after the rain
You been turnin' nothin' into something
(Keep it down, keep it down, shh)
Ain't f*ckin' helpful, to be real with ya
All I hear is interruptions

Baby, not now (oh)
Pipe down (oh)
Baby, not now (now, now)
Pipe down (not now, I'm busy)
Baby, not now (oh)
Pipe down (oh)
Baby, not now (now, now)
Pipe down (not now, I'm busy)
