Only You

[Intro: Joe Budden, The Independents]

Valley of my world (Woah)

You'll be my

Only girl, still got Jers' on his back (Okay)

Matter fact, Jers' is back, ya heard?

In the valley of my world (We ain't goin' though) (One take [?])

You'll be my (Woah)

Only girl (Turn the music up) ([?] woah)

Listen (Talk to 'em)

[Verse: Joe Budden]

It's regular Joe, partner, rap is so popular (Oh)

Swear we gotta be the highest-rated soap opera (Okay)

Nowadays it ain't about whoever flow hotter

It's about gimmick, image, and whoever gross dollars (Yeah)

Why try to be me? Just a man with issues

They even complain then, some fans are so fickle

'Cause y'all fall for it (But) y'all niggas believe 'em

Gotta learn how to read 'em, gotta learn how to weed 'em

If somebody's promotin' gangster, dude's reachin'

'Cause gangsters and promoters are like two different regions

I'm so tired of beefin', this shit'll only end

In another man leakin' and another man bleedin'

Especially the rap beef, oh, I hate rap beef

Oh, half these cats ain't real, they only rap beef (No)

Half these cats should chill, that's if you ask me (No)

'Cause if you catch 'em with the Mill then it's a track meet

Plus I feel like every beef is the same (And now I'm)

Now I'm caught in it, beefin' with Game and his image is

The 'West Coast Saviour', must of been the only weapon at hand

I know 'Pac is in Heaven like, "Damn"

But that's a small problem, real little, in fact (Hahaha)

And Fab chill, wouldn't put you in the middle of that (I wouldn't)

I don't need a nigga help, nah, niggas is trash

Five on one, but ain't like none them niggas can rap

And I got other shit to deal with like my little bro becomin' a man

Gotta watch what he's becomin', he's fam (Talk to 'em)

Don't know if he's at the age where there's a gun in his hand

'Cause he'll be done in a can, see, he's young, understand

Lil niggas too smart to end up in a buildin'

But every nigga that I know that's in jail is brilliant

And they all got a story (Okay), normally full of glory

A few missteps and a couple of regrets

They all tight in the mental with credentials after all the shit they been through

Matter fact, they all got potential (You know)

Matter fact, we all got potential

But some of us don't use it (Oh), so havin' it is useless (Yeah)

He don't wanna be a 'Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda'

But he didn't, now he sittin', bunkie askin' how he get in

Now he just it, now he's pissed in (Oh)

He got loved ones but now we gotta visit 'em (What else?)

Yeah, he's talented, but now it's all hinderin'

Shit you woulda gave to 'em, now we gotta send it in

Whatever you doing youngin, dawg, it ain't fine

Without a breathalyzer, nigga, walk a straight line (Oh)

I gotta teach dude that friends ain't friends

And love ain't love, no matter how heart-shaped it is

You don't need friends, the cars [?]

You need 'em when times are hard, they adjacent with

That ain't where you wanna be and shouldn't have to

Wasn't in the before flick, shouldn't be in the after

Only tryna fuck you like incest

While you search like credit cards for who got your best interest?(Oh)

And I don't wanna talk your ear off

About a whole bunch of shit I'm still learnin' myself

Play your friends from far and keep your enemies close

'Cause I done been through enough for us both

[Outro: Joe Budden, The Independents]

[?] play your

Friends from far and keep your enemies close

'Cause I done been through enough for us both

Play your friends from far and keep your enemies close

'Cause I done been through enough for us both [?]

Valley of my world

You'll be my

Only girl

In the valley of my world

You'll be my

Only girl

Hahaha

Uh, uh

Uh, uh
