Intro (halfway House) Lyrics - Halfway House - Joe Budden

[Joe Budden - repeat in background 9X] 

I'm comin, I'm comin, I'm comin 

[Joe - talking over background vocals] 

Okay... the time has finally come beautiful people 

Jeah... I've been singin this tune for entirely too long now 

For like, eight or nine years, somethin like that 

But I'm here, only to present to you your album 

Featurin myself, Joe Budden, hi haters 

[Joe Budden] 

The time is finally near, it's gettin closer I'm finally scared 

(?) that the album's out y'all, it's finally here 

I repeat myself for the haters y'all, I'm finally here 

Every street corner, jail cell, finally cheer 

Cause it was y'all that voted me, y'all that noticed me 

It's y'all that said I should've been signed to Def Poetry 

It was y'all that said yes y'all can flow a tree 

Momma raised me proper, the streets just molded me 

The streets coded me, made me a better pedigree 

Now things are complicated like Avril Lavigne said it be 

But I took some time out to get my shit straight 

And present to you, jump off seventy minute mixtape 

This here's for real, this here's the official 

This year it's not a "Best Of," this is the best of 

How can I say this? It's sorta like - Hov', 'Pac, B.I.G. 

Blended with Bill Withers and Miles Davis 

Let's add Al Green, folks I miscalculated 

Now it's Ludacris time, "Move - get out my way bitch!" 

A rapper's rapper, the kid can do this 

To you ignorant muh'fuckers, don't misconstrue this 

Everything reversed now, I live in _The Matrix_ 

So how can I stay anonymous, when it's my job to be famous? (Talk to 'em) 

A lot of y'all can't interpret when I'm speakin that language 

But some better understand to the rest it's better you can't 

Now when you speak of the elite, I feel honored if mentioned 

Because the goal is on top, never honorable mention 

If Joe's purpose is due, here it is it's no further anew 

Enough said with no further adieu 

I'm comin, (geah) I'm comin, I'M COMIN!
