Skeletons Lyrics - No Love Lost - Joe Budden

I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah) 

And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah) 

And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah) 

Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it 

I doubt it 

I look over my shoulder not knowing where it's coming from 

But knowing that its coming, I was bugging as a youngin' 

Now I'm runnin' from, a somethin' that'll even out my dumb decisions 

The night I shot and had him bleedin' out his lungs and spittin' 

Do any sins go unforgiven? I hope not 

'Cause most of mine were hunger driven, nothing in my mother's kitchen, 

Stomach sounds like the clouds ignited and that thunder hitting 

So the well-screwed kid ended up with more than a couple missin' 

So not a chef but the cocaine forever cookin' 

I love kids but now I' selling to a pregnant woman 

Stumbling through the projects in the AM with a cup in my hand, 

Gun on my waist and, "I don't give a fuck" is my plan. 

You'll never understand my palm sweat 

Followed by shortness of breath then my heart jets and I ain't find a calm yet 

Go on let shorty sing 

'Cause ain't no way in hell this ain't Joell, 

That's brave enough to tell you everything 

I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah) 

And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah) 

And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah) 

Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it 

I doubt it 

Fuck all that rapping, I'mma let the conversation rock 

I got skeletons in my closet 

The living dead live in a nigga head, behind a combination lock 

When will the occupation stop it? Make it a vacant lot 

The black mamba when I crack vodka, I'mma take a shot 

And Hope the stowaways go away before the anchor drop 

Yeah thanks a lot, I'm a bottle drinkin' nutcase 

Cover of XXL behind Em, I had the drunk face 

I steadily dream about cleanin' these demons out 

In order to clean them out, you gotta scream and shout 

All of your secrets out loud 

It started as a kid at my school desk 

Aced every quiz but I wanted to pass the cool test 

Ain't nothing cool about school shopping at the thrift store 

And living in an abandoned station wagon cause you was piss poor 

So I started stealing all of the clothes that the other kids wore 

That's when the skeletons moved into my mind on the sixth floor 

And more came through Crooked I's youth 

I slowly started moving them out my closet into this mic booth 

For real, bro 

I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah) 

And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah) 

And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah) 

Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it 

I doubt it 

I thought I had it locked away till forever 

But no memories fade away, they seem to stay 

Comfortable in my conscience you live in my dreams 

They say time heals it all then why's the pain still with me? 

See the problem is, I know it all 

Or maybe the problem is that I just show it all 

Maybe they that thinking I should be ashamed of my actions but really there's no remorse 

Maybe the lord will decide that I suffered enough and let me live with no withdrawals 

Then again all it would mean is he deemed I'm much too important to focus all 

We could talk about pain 24/7 dog, that's my department 

Intercity blues cruise and I'm blasting that Marvin 

Skeletons ain't in my closet, that's my apartment 

And they like to hide behind thousand dollar fabrics and garments 

It's all bleak to me 

Tell my Pop I ain't bothered when he don't speak to me, I love you but it's weak to me 

On one hand life is short and there's no excuse to do it 

But you was missing half my life dog, I'm kind of used to it 

Modern day Son of Sam, judge but you don't understand 

Me against the world, I plan on winning, though I'm under-manned 

Want to see through the eyes of a monster? Look through my glasses tint 

My roommates can stay here, just take care of half the rent 

I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah) 

And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet (yeah) 

And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah) 

Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it 

I doubt it 

I doubt it 

I doubt it
