Sober Up (Explicit)

Sober Up - Joe Budden/Crooked I

I broke down a while ago

Finally picking up the pieces

Memoirs of how the undefeated

Can feel depleted

I don't talk to god as a matter

Of fact I plead with

At times I hate my reflection and others I'm conceited

Half the tI'me I'm arrogant other tI'mes I'm vengeful

At tI'mes it's to convince me at tI'mes it's to convince you

Done a lot of wrong but I aint never felt resentful

It's been so many tI'mes

I've lost track of who to repent to

Half the tI'me I'm in the cut

Don't want you to notice me

Roll with me and youll see that I'm only awkward socially

Half the tI'me I'm spiteful double barrell rifle

I owe so many payback I feel like

I got the right too

So if you need a case in point you

Can refer to budden

And it will prove that painkillers never murdered nothing

All it did was make me succumb put ice in me

Make me numb

When I revisit the places it takes me from

I'm strong

Strong enough to catch contact right

Smell it as soon as you get in my ride

See with me rules never apply

Don't tell me how I should live my life

Put your seat back got it if you need that

You should really f**k with me

Tell me if you wanna ride or die

La la la la la la la la

Listen up as the center reports

My inner thoughts are like a inner war

Headaches act as a trembling force on my mental ward

Mentals distraught

Every word fromt his sentence the boss

It's brought to you like the people like your ministers porsche

Tight roping on dental floss

Before the haters begin to get lost

Coke and w**d got my temperment off

But why would my temper get lost

When as soon as the temperature frost

I'm probably having intercourse in a resort

CrI'minal report pricey condos at a minI'mal cost

My train of thought aint as sI'mple as yours

So if our paths happen to incidentally 'cross

I pray that you can overlook all my miniature flaws

Un'til then lets let the bass kick

Take the shots straight I don't see a need to chase it

Trying to fight the urge 'til theres something to replace it

I welcome yall to be my co pilots on this spaceship

Strong enough to catch contact right

Smell it as soon as you get in my ride

See with me rules never apply

Don't tell me how I should live my life

Put your seat back got it if you need that

You should really f**k with me

Tell me if you wanna ride or die

La la la la la la la la

Me and the game would get so blunted

Wed order take out from the chinese stores

They make sure you bring change for a hundred

Rob 'em safety on the metals off

Figured if we beat the breaks off 'em

Then how the f**k was he gon pedal off

Some live and die by the high I was born by it

Since pac gave my mom the needle like go on try it

Got me feeling like aint a n***a can harm me

So I go and scoop a mommy

That wanna come join the army

She was so militant disciplined intelligent

So I whispered to her bet you wouldn't mind shilling it

I got to know her on my sofa

I gave her my honourable discharge

And she took like a soldier

Since she the type you gotta watch when she come around

Really she only get high so she can come down

Lost her when I said she aint gotta settle

Once you start to handle life youll be on the same level

I guess so strong enough to catch contact right

Smell it as soon as you get in my ride

See with me rules never apply

Don't tell me how I should live my life

Put your seat back got it if you need that

You should really f**k with me

Tell me if you wanna ride or die

La la la la la la la la

When I was five this what my father said

I should have pulled you out

And left you on your mommas waterbed

You asked me my poppas dead

Alcoholic jeans from hI'm since a toddler bottle fed

Put me on your stainless I'm brainless I'm a hollow head

My life was the crazyiest

Surprised I'm even walking

Can you blame me if I'm atheist

But I aint stephen hawkings

I know god is in my radius

I can see hI'm walking in the face

Of an innocent baby but not when preachers talking

My people sleep in coffins I miss 'em

I'm breaking down in the face of a bad b*tch

That I'm supposed to be taking down

Baby ride while I'm crying I'm dying inside

'Cause my pain is beside a giant lethiathon

And I'm hiding from the world

They hit me with everything but the kitchen sink

How ironic same place I vomit when I lick a drink

Apparently I need to get a shrink

How can therapy take care of me when

I don't give a f**k what niggas think

Strong enough to catch contact right

Smell it as soon as you get in my ride

See with me rules never apply

Don't tell me how I should live my life

Put your seat back got it if you need that

You should really f**k with me

Tell me if you wanna ride or die

La la la la la la la la
