[Joe Budden] I feel like I'm ahead of my time, like I'm ahead lets rewind I feel like I've never felt feel like I'm ahead of my prime I feel like my feelings feel like they maybe feel intertwined 'tween incognito and shine I'm being caught in the lime feel like I'm stuck in a fight when the future ain't feelin bright I put the pencil down, feeling unwanted, and go on strike but then I'm struck by the light that ain't how you properly strike but the ball be over the plate and they still don't call it a strike I mean I honestly try, I feel like I try in vain start doin a lil different shit always just stay the same theres a good in every bad when theres loss I know theres gain I appreciate the love but I'm living with all the pain I hate when the sun is out, but love whenever it rains and God be sending me signs like my future is preordained my timing keep gettin fucked, the wires still havent came and all I do is object but my shit ain't never sustained wonder if I keep on trying then will I finally attain wonder if I'll ever feel like I got nobody to blame, MAYNE!

[Joe Budden] I told mommy when I was five that I would strive to be a lawyer or a doctor took the opt. to hangin out with the mobsters now he's a hip hop'sta, no more general Tso's orderin shrimp and lobster mommy look at how I prospered look at what I've become but still I feel like a bum emotional strain can't be replaced by any son emotionally drained, insides prolly look like a slum just give me a bag of weed, just give me a shot of rum no better yet give me none, no mommy I won't succumb not that- almost forgot I stopped that when I was young some people do it for pleasure some people do it for fun but I remember it well, that dust used to have 'em strung I wonder what I've become but why am I overlooked I want 'em to understand but still I'm misunderstood I keep on taking suggestions I'm wondering if I should I know you see the potential, I know you see that I could bumpin Ludacris, 'Child Of The Night' was well put why is everything so BAD for me FEEL so GOOOOODDDD
[Chorus]
I hope everybody still aight..
[Joe Budden] I know niggaz that never made it everybody would sweat him he jumped out the whole park, NBA never met him what good is being open if the guards never fed him he'd have been the illest nigga but niggaz just never let him maybe Trey'll grow up and be somewhat of a star wearing all the latest things and pushin the latest cars maybe he'll hold me down same way I do for my father or really resent me feel like why should he even bother maybe me and his momma will finally jjust get along maybe not- but the idea sounds good in a song maybe one day the world'll see how great he performs long journey to walk on my feet to take the corns open my mind, say you was right and I was wrong nah that's wrong one day I'll rightfully right my wrongs and start over anew like that one night I was born show a girl I really care, one day that pride'll be gone See he overcame alot, he just the same as his pops So one day he'll be alright when that rain finally stops, C'MON!!
