Whatever It Takes Lyrics - Singles - Joe Budden

Whatever it takes, to find a way 

To find a way 

To find a way 

I'ma do whatever it takes, to find a way 

To find a way 

To find a way 

I'ma do, Whatever it takes to find a way 

To find a way 

To find a way 

Whatever it takes to find a way 

To find a way 

To find a way 

Aiy, I'm dealing with some shit homey, it's in the back of my head 

And it's some shit homey, but I just rap it instead 

See I got wolverine bones in me 

But the whole world is throwin' stones at me like they all gotta bone with me 

Got a child's mother, and I hate her to death 

But that's my child's mother, so that's my mate to the death 

That's why how I love her for puttin' little me here 

And me and huck'll beef forever, she gon still be there 

And there's some other niggaz, I just a character role 

Be they some other niggaz, now let's get back to the song 

I got a drug problem, but I ain't tell the truth 

Because I got enough problems 

And my solution is to stuff problems 

But if something goes wrong with that 

Then it's back to PCP and so long with rap 

See I'm depressed lately, but nobody understands 

That I'm depressed lately, I'm sorta feeling repressed lately 

But y'all been hearin' and seein' me less lately 

Like it's anyone noticed the redress lately 

Look deep nigga don't I seem stressed lately 

Seem disturbed, a lot of repress lately 

I got a company that I'm signed to 

But they ain't in my company, when all I need is some company 

When I start feelin' like everybody's done with me 

I tryna see what everybody want with me 

Then the mistress, yeah, the girl from ten minutes it's hard 

Now I'm needing ten minutes from heart 

I can't get into it, but I want y'all to know 

That I'll get into it, but I'll save that for the growth 

Then it's rap beef, but I'm so secure with me 

It's only rap beef, I don't need se-see you-rity (never) 

Want to get at me, want to go to war with me 

That's just one phone call for me 

Check the shit, I got a whole hood, that don't appreciate 

It's not the whole hood that appreciates me 

What you gon' tell me, when it's the streets that made me 

And I won't let the belly of the beast degrade me 

And then it's rap critics, they say all I make dance music 

But there almost anything you can dance to it 

They ain't like the single, so they ain't copped that album 

Wouldn't give a chance to it, not a second glance to it 

They say he wines to much, he's too bitter 

They call it complaining, I call it explaining 

I know 'em niggaz cooked it, caught up in the gaming 

Lose they mind and y'all call it entertainment 

Some shit with me, a dude's been knew that 

But I'm gambling a lot and I ain't used to do that 

Rap ain't payin' the bills, it's mo money mo problems 

Or it's no money mo problems 

All enormous when you play at these stakes 

That's how it feels to have a warrant on a famous face 

Then the album's pushed back, cause they say he needs a single at the moment 

But what he needs is a single moment 

Then I'm involved in the 'he say she say (that) 

Send my mind on replay, each day 

Then it's the bullshit that she save he's gave 

Cause she wouldn't like to think that he ain't like her 

Just cause she was throwing it at me and I ain't touch her 

She'll say anything psych, but I ain't want to fuck her 

I don't feel good, so I won't want to go to a club 

Don't want to go to a lounge, just want to lounge 

Then the same sweater that I had on for days 

The same t I had on for a week what I got on, it speaks 

What I got on, it reeks 

No shape up, chilling, cause that's just how I'm feeling 

And one day at a time, it's god willing 

Tryna see scrape but the fall keeps building 

Post start raising, the booze starting that gate me 

But I gotta be a king cause this wolve's tryna play me 

Goodie when it's hot like it's freezing winter 

Bed start, eating sleep for dinner 

Then it's hard tryna keep this in ya 

So I write it all down, so one day maybe when life is all sweet I remember 

Then it's probation, I know we all go through it 

We call it probation, but there's no pro to it 

Yeah my soul's aching, only a few peers know 

Funny thing about the case is it's a few years old 

Had some shit going on with my ohh, that felt good but it's bad 

So I'm sitting here like what the bitch had 

It's not rap it's real, look scrappy it's true 

Going what's popping, do he look happy to you 

Now if it goes to the wire, go the soul of a fighter 

Bruised up and sloppy, a damaged like Ali 

Up late talking to the fans on a website 

That's the only thing that send yo man off to bed right 

Fuck the world fuck my moms and my girl 

Well maybe not mom, just let me remain calm 

This too won't last, this too shall pass 

At least that's what I say y'all, that's what I pray for 

And I'm the only thing that's standing in my way y'all 

But I gotta be with me, it's no escape y'all 

I guess depression just stepped in, and took over shit like it's known to do 

Guess it said, hey Joe, I'm going home with you 

Turn your phone off, I need to be alone with you 

I need to be in the zone with you 

Cause I'm the only thing why've grown to, nigga 

Look, I own you, nigga 

Been with you since ten, but you starting to confuse me 

Cause it's been so long and you still tryna lose me 

Like how could you show me such cruelty 

When everybody turns their back on you, Joe it's you and me 

Still you don't want me to see you right 

And why you always come get me, how we re-unite 

Huh, I know you feel for me deep in your heart 

Doctors, meetings, pills couldn't keep us apart 

What, now, you got a deal and you want to get rid of me 

We roommates, I'm in your head, Joe you live with me 

So I don't write for the fans, nah, I write to my man 

And hope that he'll just leave and understand 

Like, like please leave the kid in peace 

Let me smoke this one cig in peace 

Just leave for a second, man it's been too long, and I can't troop it 

And as long as you around I can't make that dance music
