10 Mins. Lyrics - Joe Budden

See what I'ma do is, like... 

I just kinda want to be able to, you know... 

Smoke by myself, 

Without kinda being bothered by what a motherfucker had to ? 

Without really havin' to do nothin' 

So I'ma go buy this pack, of 100's, 

Take me about 10 minutes to smoke a whole 100 

Yeah, I'ma snip one upside down 

And I'ma take one out and I'ma light it... 

Just give me 10 minutes 

I just need 10 minutes alone 

To not deal with a thing, to not answer my phone 

Just to ig' my 2 way, ig' the shit in the streets 

Just let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Give me 10 minutes 

Without y'all comin at me with that bull 

Sometimes that's all it takes to ruin my last pull 

And right now, that's what got the kid at peace 

Let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Look, now 'is a couple dudes that don't want to see me poppin' 

They sarcastically ask me 'when your CD's droppin' 

Gotta keep my game face 

They don't leave me no options 

Can't lose my cool I know the streets keep watchin' 

Dudes want to see me lose it all 

But I ain't come this far to fall 

Let me talk to all of you dudes prayin that I lose it all 

I ain't come this far to fall 

And I ain't gotta walk around with my clip and nine 

A real nigga just open his coat to me and said his is mine 

He said call him with his problems 

But he don't know that there's always problems, it only gets worse 

Like, some dudes get threatened they can't stop me 

So all they do is threaten to pop me 

But go and get your weapon and cock, G 

See it's real here, I dun been up and down the block all week and I'm still here 

Look, you want to know where the booze and coke at 

Gangsta's, gorillas, damoo's and locs at, 

Where the bricks, where the dick, where the X, where the morphene be, 

Take the turnpike to 14B 

But now it's back to this pussy dude threatenin' to hurt me 

I didn't know all of this came with reppin' Jersey 

But now it's no secret 

If the thought of jump off doin it makes you so heated nigga so be it 

But certain beef will be handeled if you're special 

Only marble in the crib, is the handle on his special 

My guns in the hood 

I can't run from the hood 

Nigga my sons in the hood 

That should tell you what's what 

Soon as I feel good you retards remind me 

But son, it ain't hard to find me 

I'm at ringside any time the fights on 

And I'm in the big black truck with the carolina lights on 

Or you can hop on the Pulaski Skyway 

I'm in the strip club almost every Friday 

Kats is cornballs 

y'all dudes is bitches 

Like I ain't got enough problems with this music business 

Just give me 10 minutes 

I just need 10 minutes alone 

To not deal with a thing, to not answer my phone 

Just to ig' my 2 way, ig' the shit in the streets 

Just let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Give me 10 minutes 

Without y'all comin at me with that bull 

Sometimes that's all it takes to ruin my last pull 

And right now, that's what got the kid at peace 

Let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Some days I don't want to be bothered 

Some days I just miss my father (damn) 

Some days I just miss my father 

Some days I want to relapse on redline 

'cause he'll be gone for 26 months fed time 

I try to maintain through all this 

And pray to god pop keep the same clean date and 4 dicks 

My pockets flat kid 

You do the math on $5.15 an hour full time after taxes 

That wasn't good enough to keep my MO 

Shit that wasn't good enough to complete my demo, for real 

Some days I don't want to be seen 

And some days I don't shower, I don't want to be clean 

Look, sometimes the truth could hurt you 

So I blow my cig smoke right at the Truth commercial 

Some days I don't want to be bothered 

Some days I just miss my father 

And even if by a miracle he makes it half way out 

It won't be parole y'all, it be the half way house but NAH 

That's not the right path for a Budden 

'cause we're addicts, addicts can't do half of nothin' 

Some days I'm reachin for the thing in the dresser 

Some days I'm not invincible and I feel the pressure 

Like if everyone's dependin on me, and I just stop 

... 

Then what the fuck happens? 

I can't take that route and girl out 

And sometimes I don't want to hear my girls mouth 'cause 

My hectic schedule, she ain't considerate 

So all I hear is the complaints and bickerin 

Radio's, studio's, photo shoot's 

She think I'm fuckin every girl that say I'm oh so cute, cute 

Don't appreciate a man and you lose him 

Worst thing to do to an innocent man is accuse him 

And I ain't with beefin' with home's 

Bran Nubian style, I had to love ma' but leave her alone 

It ain't workin out, I'll see you aight 

Just let go and let God see if we reunite 

'cause with yo shit added to the dudes that want to see me fall 

Nah, fuck it I won't fall 

Let me talk to all of you dudes prayin that I lose it all 

I ain't come this far to fall, fall 

But listen, I'm fucked up now 

Don't ask why y'all 

Sometimes the best medicine is just to cry y'all 

Know what I'm sayin? 

Excuse my voice fans, that should be a sign that I identify with what I'm sayin 

'cause it's these type of thoughts that'll kill ya 

If you smokin' with me right now, then you a good way from the filter 

And I won't front like I ain't stressin' 

Sometimes I need a hug, real shit, pain shit is pain lesson (nigga) 

Just give me 10 minutes 

I just need 10 minutes alone 

To not deal with a thing, to not answer my phone 

Just to ig' my 2 way, ig' the shit in the streets 

Just let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Give me 10 minutes 

Without y'all comin at me with that bull 

Sometimes that's all it takes to ruin my last pull 

And right now, that's what got the kid at peace 

Let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Give me 10 minutes 

I just need 10 minutes alone 

To not deal with a thing, to not answer my phone 

Just to ig' my 2 way, ig' the shit in the streets 

Just let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Give me 10 minutes 

By myself, you the boys at home 

That's all the time I really need to enjoy my bone 

If you sparked when the song was beginnin at that time 

Then your stoge should be endin with mine 

And to you know who... 

Ma, I never saw me being with you 

But sometimes y'all dreams come true 

I'm like your number one fan 

Damn, I ain't think Joe would see you 

You's a fantasy 

I wasn't supposed to meet you, NAH 

Chances of that were so unlikely 

And if we did meet, you wasn't supposed to like me 

But look, I rap now and it just so happens 

God put me in a spot where that was just so happenin, see 

She had a man, I had a girl 

I broke up with mine and around that same time 

We was hangin out she never laid a hand on me 

But I could tell from the way she glanced at me 

Her looks said baby boy somethin hampers me 

And it would go down but I got my man with me 

Lord how can it be? 

You know I never been the dude to come and break up a happy family 

And these 2 looked so happy on the outside 

They could've only been happy on the outside 

We eventually started creepin' 

But for me it's just sex 

For her it's cheatin' 

It went down, one time, two times, once more 

Talkin real passionate, every time it jumped off 

I'm in deep y'all she's more than a jump off 

We both catchin' feelins, both startin to want more 

But guess what, she can't leave him 

Maybe it's somethin' I don't know about, maybe she needs him 

Means I still gotta front like we ain't sleepin' 

Still gotta shake his hand, I still gotta see him 

How's he supposed to look, supposed to feel for me 

He gotta know I'm feelin you, and you feelin me 

How am I supposed to look at that man with respect 

With Bleek singin 'Is That Your Chick In My Head' 

Dru Hill - 'Somebody Sleepin In My Bed' 

Aaliyah - 'If Your Girl Only Knew' reversed, but look 

Here's why I'm down and out 

I'm kinda worried y'all 

I ain't heard from him much since he found out 

??? it wasn't mine y'all, she's still in the brain 

And I know wherever she's at, she's feelin' the same 

So 'till my fantasy dame pop up 

Everytime the cell rings I'm prayin that her name pop up, for real 

I know y'all, I ain't supposed to wife her 

But it's God's fault, I wasn't supposed to like her 

Sometimes I think, why'd I have to meet chick for? 

And some times dog, be careful what you wish for 

Some times I don't want to be bothered 

Some days I just miss my father 

He's stuck in the system 

Treated like a dude that's heartless 

And they just transferred him, brought him up on new charges 

Yeah folks i'm back to that 

So I light another one and smoke back to back for real 

I'm chain smokin' if you ain't on my page, listen 

I'm stressed out, hopin' this one'll taste different 

Dudes hopin' that I lose it all 

I ain't come this far to fall 

Let me talk to all of you dudes wishin that I lose it all 

I ain't come this far to fall 

Nah, I won't fall 

Hopin that I lose it all 

I won't fall, nigga (nah) 

Hopin that I lose it all 

I ain't come this far to fall 

Nah 

Nah, (aint come this) 

Some days I don't want to be bothered 

Some days I just miss my father (damn) 

Just give me 10 minutes 

I just need 10 minutes alone 

To not deal with a thing, to not answer my phone 

Just to ig' my 2 way, ig' the shit in the streets 

Just let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Give me 10 minutes 

Without y'all comin at me with that bull 

Sometimes that's all it takes to ruin my last pull 

And right now, that's what got the kid at peace 

Let me smoke this one cig in peace (peace, peace)
