1000 Faces

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]

Now we were once two niggas of the same kind

Went to holla at a hoochie with the same line

Sorta, honestly Ill never guessed you were a hoarder

And all that would manifest cause of what we both thought of her

So I’m like “how could you get mad of what she thought of me”

I found out seasons don’t only change quarterly

Cause you got bitter, it was real fickle

With me saying “girls are a dime a dozen” to a nigga with a nickel

I guess nobody told him that gossip and slander is not the answer

Wish I’da known that she woulda flipped out of propaganda

Ice in my veins, some people are less skilled

And he brought me up on charges when his ego got killed

When my friends in doubt, they learned a valuable lesson bout

In 30 years I ain’t reckon how to reconcile

What hurts more? The act of getting cut off

Or realizing that your 2 cents wasn’t worth more

[Hook: Scott Stapp & Mark Tremonti]

(So, you know it's hell, you know it well)

Now I'm forced to look behind

I'm forced to look at you

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell which is you

(So, you know it's hell, you know it well)

Broken mirrors paint the floor

Why can't you see the truth

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

[Verse 2]

Nothing could help somebody switch up more then thirst can

I seen the ill effect that fame can have first hand

Am I to blame for the person that you became?

Were you’re already on that path? Its so hard for me to explain

Look, some indicate that im watching who I never met

I see some things happening now that you would never let

If you were in your right mind

Were you showing me the right person at the right time

Or were you trying to make it easy?

Did it really please you to please me

Did that make you change everything about you to appease me?

My prides in shambles, wondering why and when did you decide to gamble

Or are you competing with Mya Campbell

When did that become suitable

How could you make something so ugly out of what was once beautiful

Next time beauty’s headed towards me I plan to dodge

Until I see its not just being used as a camouflage

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Only reason I continue to antagonize

Just my way of bringing truth into a pack of lies

Reveals peoples true colors, removes a bad disguise

Even though its something I predicted I just act surprised

That way the armor never chinks on me

Drunk mouth, sober tongue homie drinks on me

That way I’m protected, y’all got no choice but to respect it

Seen too many come and go to be affected

And how is it not expected

I’m hip to what its bound to be

And them relationships, combined ain’t weigh a pound to me

And so the bullshit, make sure its tasteful when its done

You can keep your 1000 faces, but try being faithful to one

[Hook (faded to outro)]
