Joe Budden - Playing Our Part (Lyrics)

[Intro]

Mic, mic, mic

Yeah we good now

Turn the vocals down a little bit, just a little bit

I want it loud

[Verse 1]

Here's my moment of clarity

I've been misleadin' you all, givin' you half of me

I've been blazin' a trail and leavin' casualties

I've diagnosed myself, I think it's apathy

So lettin' go became easy, grabbin' ahold, that's the hardest

I know our expiration date soon as we start it

You come around and you feel safe while you're a target

You feelin' like I let you inside, while I'm guarded

It's genius when arrogance seems like it's modest

Look past the insanity, glance at the logic

Appears optional, all of it is stipulated

Watch and learn how emotions get manipulated

Now you in dire need of help

You the victim, made to think you did it to yourself

Speakin' of, rest in peace Sandra Bland

I'm believin' everything that wasn't on that cam

But back to you, beauty, let me address our lil' movement

You in therapy but I don't see the improvement

Oh whatever's been made now days is ruined

So every few months I ponder what the fuck are we doin'

Let me watch my words again

You easily got one of the best pussies that I've ever been inserted in

You real kind, real sweet, real nurturin'

Yet every time we link back up, you just get hurt again

You put all men in a box, I ain't one of 'em

Funny how you got all the answers and none of 'em

You only dated three men so I'm scared of you

Cause with no point of reference, what the fuck are you comparin' to?

You good one minute, psycho the next

No longer lettin' it ride, too much Jekyll and Hyde

Then you subtweet some weeks, busy settin' your pride

I'm grown, don't really need that sort of mess in my life

But wait, you of age, you old too

I control my emotions, yours control you

You bright enough to know when you get impulsive

For me, that's repulsive, how do you not know this?

And then we go our separate ways

Just to link back on better days

Though I know it's short term and you never stay

You always a sucker for that text that say

[Pre-Hook]
