Under The Sun

[Intro: Joe Budden]

("I had a dream") That's funny I had a dream myself

("Of a wide-open prairie") How's e'rybody feelin out there?

Aight? ("I had a dream")

E'rybody doing good, e'rybody good? ("Of the pale morning sky")

Me myself, I'm doin great, couldn't be better

("And we were the same, just the same")

I mean I got problems like everybody else but I mean

They great problems though ("You and I")

Taha! I'm just talking shit

[Hook: Bryan Adams - Brothers Under The Sun Sample]

I had a dream - of the wide open prairie

I had a dream - of the pale morning sky

And we were the same - just the same - you an' I

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one

My brother under the sun

[Pre-Verse: Joe Budden]

Mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check

Mic check, 1, 2, 1, 2

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]

Old head said reality is fake and fake's the new real

Nothing prescribed to me, but taking a few pills

Ain't trying to be the dude that's raising the blue steal

Vic's help me escape, they give me a new feel

Unedited, ay'day is a newsreel, some cake and a few bills

Honestly, all it'll take is a few mill (for what?)

For me not to have to portray no true skill (but!)

But lemme just watch what I say, the truth kills

(So) Be careful what you wish for

If I'm totally ignored, I might withdraw

I used to be pissed off, piss poor

Money Chris Paul, (it was) like this short

It was kinda hard to get the whole puzzle working with half a jigsaw

I got mine, let me help you get yours without getting ripped off

I left a trail nigga, follow it

And when it's gone, make a new one, don't remodel shit

Oh!

[Hook: Bryan Adams - Brothers Under The Sun Sample]

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one

My brother under the sun

[Break: Joe Budden]

Make your own motherfucking footsteps nigga, don't follow mine!

Huh!? I got great problems though, my problems are good!

L-Look, look, look

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

New suit, dude nervous (what else?)

Old case, new judge, new verdict (what else?)

A new outcome like somebody reversed it

(I mean I'm) I feel like I'm a new man, a new purpose

(Oh!) It's like a nigga ain't feeling so worthless

Kneel down and worship, all them years was worth it

So when he opened his mouth, I was stunned

He said, You can't deny man his son. Be clear

So if he wanna be there, you let him be there

Be fair, I mean, I can see he wants to be near

I can see that he cares

I'll lock your ass up you don't oblige, beware. (I mean it)

She stared, she scared

My lil dude always get the world from me

And you want him to have the world, just not from me

Back like I never left, was never forced away

Got nothing more to say. Oh!

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one

My brother under the sun

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]

When I see you I'm disgusted (nigga!)

Can't believe I was ever in love wit (nigga!)

Must've been dusted, cause you look like shit

All these years, they ain't done you no justice. (Look at'chu!)

I mean you all fucked up, can't get cash

Still bitter over a past you can't get passed. (Huh?!)

Just sad, get mad cause my bitch bad

Ay'day she switch heels, switch bags. (Whoa!)

It's like we living on a dock nigga, big pad

You can't afford a deposit on my closet. (Not even)

Since you, all I ever known was fly shit

Unfortunately, you ain't fitting that logic

Cause you're much less

Sometimes you gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success

Still, I'll be the bigger man and wish her all the best

While knowing she'll never get it

So why would she ever quit it, it's ridiculous

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one
