Only Love Me Lyrics - The Great Escape - Joe Budden

Turn me up in the headphone something 

(New Joe Budden) 

Look 

First off let me shout out the fam, y'all so gracious 

Been chilling in the room for growth, it's so spacious 

Getting to the money, counting these old faces 

Like I found the smoking gun in cold cases (nah) 

Them dark thoughts never got to 'em still 

I'm like the legendary Robin Will 

Even though I understand I never dealt with the pain like that 

A knot from that same rope, but I don't hang like that 

We had a couple break-ups - gotta respect Cuzz and I'll hit the reset button 

You try to reset Budden, it's real 

My accomplishments, already show 'em how I deal with the consequence 

And you can ask Consequence 

She reached out via text, like "what up with the guy?" 

Which is weird, it's been a year since we fraternized 

Still I made my way back in her life 

Only to prove to myself I wouldn't fuck up twice 

We reminiscing, thinking hella back 

You had to watch me with her, but the hell with that 

Cause I think that me carrying that thought kinda washed me with her 

And even that's cool, cause me and you is not me and her 

I took a little hiatus, hope you could see the change 

I was too high to say this, how could I explain? 

Thought my mouth was quiet, my mom was like a Ferguson riot 

Why it only get worse when I'm in private 

Were we victims to the game, trying to do it over 

Here's the gift for an exchange 

It's timeout for the public these niggas won't know a thing 

So we keep each other blocked on Twitter, it's not a game 

Like a picture in a frame for now 

Drunk models, couple Swishers and a stack here 

Everytime I walk away, you [???] 

But your words don't mean a thing when [???] 

Tell me is this the way 

The way that you love me 

Tell me is this the way 

The way that you care 

She said she wanna set boundaries 

Can't continue to have you surrounding me 

Cause that'll lead to you on this couch pounding me 

That'll bring them feelings back, that's just out of bounds to me 

It's been years, last bitch ain't come around to me 

Send my tone of voice down, like you speaking down to me 

Said I said some things to begrudge you 

But I can't ask to not be judged, then judge you 

She said, all this time I've been screaming "Fuck You" 

When she implies I can't move on, I'm stuck, too 

Blood flowing, there's an adrenaline rush, too 

Everytime I'm tryna leave it's when you're in a rush, too 

She said, looking back I can see how you was gaming me 

Which is fine, I can see how you could feel there 

Which means, I just gotta ask you one question now 

If it was game, tell me why them feelings still there? 

I know the answer to that: you still fallin' 

You never felt so strong, it feels foreign 

Probably got me saved in her phone as Phil Collins 

Hear it in the air of the night, it's still callin' 

Everytime you see me, a couple of bills on him 

Got rich, then did it again, we still ballin' 

You ain't gotta respond to that 

If you did, it would look like it's a [???] to that 

I'm so far beyond that 

Chillin' with a couple of hoes that like hoes 

That like niggas that don't act like hoes 

I don't say that cuz I'm vain or some strangers can know I'm the man 

We not fuckin' em, sometimes it's better knowin' you can't 

She come runnin' back everytime she throw in the can 

Just to holla when she feel like not a soul understand 

Baby, I already proved that I ride out 

You can't bear to be hurt again so you hide out 

You ain't gotta say that, I know you inside out 

We communicate so well when all the pride's out 

You gotta give it one more go, we ain't tried out 

Nah that love wouldn't a been real if it died out 

Joey
