Joey got me through some shit back in the days growin up, find myself here in 2022. Sorting through some way different shit than I ever thought. Hoping anyone reading this goin through anything succeeds and triumph over all struggles this year and beyond
a writer that will never get the respect he deserves.. Bought the first album from pump it up and fell in love with every song on that album.. seeing him never change makes me even more of a fan during the years...
moodmuzik Old grimey mouse is long gone. Eating Sleep for dinner is long gone smh. I know people change but he just isn’t the same since that shady records bs.
moodmuzik after how thy been treatin joe... in the industry. .. and makin him seem fake... i doubt it... imma just learn from the first approach about how fucked up it rele is out here
Something....one of the most POWERFUL things i've ever heard and realised is so true over but once times proceedings has past is...Be CAREFUL WHO'S ADVICE YOU TAKE.
Ladies and gentlemen.. You are now listenin' to The Growth (Look) This my guide to the rappers Before you go ahead and decide to be a rapper (Talk to 'em) I know you think it's +Money, Cash, Hoes+ But funny when that goes You'll be questionin' life after Like "why did I have to" (I know it) Seems like "yeah", seems quite clear But these maggots take your dream and make it a nightmare You been waitin' for some years But everything is fake, it's like a rear view mirror, nothin' is as it appears Can't trust people 'cause it's all about tryina succeed It's all about the backstabbin' and greed It's all about the wrong things Sucks, it's all useless And it starts to interfere with your love for the music (Damn!) Catch 22, most dudes'll give it all for their shot For most niggaz, this is all we got Should you quit the whole thing? 'Cause it's enough bullshit in the whole thing To almost make you wanna kiss the whole thing...(Chea!) Goodbye [Hook - repeat 2X] So long, goodbye Tired, of the game Let's get there [Joe Budden] Sometimes you think you better off with that 9 to 5 Til you remember all the times you got fired Sometimes you wanna dress down, walk out with no jewelry (But!) But you can't, you under real heavy scrutiny You ain't got a truck that's hooked up with rims Kids'll see you like "damn, why I looked up to him?" It makes some wanna quit, it makes some stand tall If you don't sign that autograph, then it's one fan lost Sometimes you don't feel like it Everybody wanna be on you Sometimes you just wanna be normal Want the afore-mentioned Sometimes you don't wanna be mentioned Sometimes you just wanna blend in Might think the statement's weird When the world'll trade for your life (On some..) Real shit I'll trade for theirs Tell me now what's the answer When they know you had a death in the family And you still gotta smile for the camera You thought everything would be all to the good You ain't got as much money as you thought you would (Didn't blow!) Some people sell out, fuck everything they shot From their heart for that number one spot on the charts That's what it is, I can't paint it no clearer How you 'sposed to see straight when it's all smoke and mirrors? (All smoke and mirrors) Quit the whole thing, 'cause it's enough bullshit in the whole thing To almost make you wanna kiss the whole thing...(Chea!) Goodbye [Hook:] Arrivederci! [Joe Budden] Just when you think you wanna go on without the hype Is when you go to do a show and see the crowd so hyped (And the...) Die hard fans say "you changed my whole life" So I sacrifice mine and gratify you with the rhymes (Yeah!) Folks from the hood, that see you as a stand out Outweigh the niggaz in the hood with their hand out And goin' 5 days a week with no sleep's A lot better than a cold park bench with no sheets So fuck politics, fuck inuendo (Oh!) 'Cause you never seen a dropout so influential Quit the whole thing, 'cause it's enough bullshit in the whole thing It's my choice so I'm with the whole thing (Chea!) Like "what"
@@LadleOfStew lmao internet soldiers. reminds me when i was young kid on joe budden forums. just us and the internet soldiers. even joe posted with us. those were good times man
Nunya Bidness disagree he's just so boring know. don't even know what his songs are about now when back in the day each song had a strong and definite theme. now it's just rapping about anything and that nasally style he tries to put on his voice. ergh just stop.
Life if Joey should get parks to mix this In 2020
Would be dope. But joe doesn’t have any of the pro tools sessions for parks to clean the vocals up
Facts! I got homeboys in prison with a I phone and they made better sounding tracks
@@brentwoods1153 😂😂😂😂😂 god damn. You right though
Joey got me through some shit back in the days growin up, find myself here in 2022. Sorting through some way different shit than I ever thought. Hoping anyone reading this goin through anything succeeds and triumph over all struggles this year and beyond
His M.M. mixtapes got me thru shit too from 05-10. Great music
Same here, Joey was definitely therapy through music in the 2000s through early 2010s
This song needs to be remastered and rereleased 💯🙏🏿
No. It needs to stay as is. One love
It’s perfect like this you can hear in his voice that he fed up already lol early in his career it’s perfect
How many times do I find myself here and drunk alone...
+Dwayne Johsnon or high af...
Every time I hear dudes say he just a podcaster shit fucks me up knowing he has some serious gems out there
Joe is slept on heavy fr. Dude has his antics but he's a real menace on the mic
a writer that will never get the respect he deserves.. Bought the first album from pump it up and fell in love with every song on that album.. seeing him never change makes me even more of a fan during the years...
koreyp360 yup
Something made me revisit this song today, and I was literally caught in the same train of thought how underrated he was
Who here from the final farewell JBP episode with Spotify?

Literally just pulled up after hearing it! I've never heard this one and consider myself a Joe fan smh
Shoutout to mal, as a young dude not interested in being a super music historian I appreciate songs like this
Was here 10 years ago
One of my favorite budden songs, even though it desperately needs mixing lol parks where you at!?!

moodmuzik Old grimey mouse is long gone. Eating Sleep for dinner is long gone smh. I know people change but he just isn’t the same since that shady records bs.
moodmuzik after how thy been treatin joe... in the industry. .. and makin him seem fake... i doubt it... imma just learn from the first approach about how fucked up it rele is out here
One of his best records..
it's 2022 and I've listened to this song about 500 times
the beat insane and joe underrated
Found this song back in 2011, 17 yrs old Australian boi helped me thru sum mad hardships.
Love when I find old Budden.
One of my all-time Budden favorite songs!
Thanks for the upload.
Mals sleeper pick and since I’m not so familiar with Joe’s catalogue so thought I’d check it out
Undisputed GOAT. Joe never gained his proper respect, but we all hold him high. Classic “I’m back” track
Man, this song got me thru some shit back in 09'
favor rapper till this day Jerz we all got
2021 I'm still listening to that real shit 🔥🔥💯
The pod put me on to the first song I’ve ever liked by joe budden

Sidetracked is my shit too
Anyone still listening to this in 2020???

I used to like Joe, now he's easily in my top 5, mad underrated
still love this!
SAME
So long Spotify; so tired of the gaaaaames
good sample and joey a beast damn near on 85% of his tracks real rap if you love hip hop then you'd love his music
Top 5 period
Something....one of the most POWERFUL things i've ever heard and realised is so true over but once times proceedings has past is...Be CAREFUL WHO'S ADVICE YOU TAKE.
One of the greatest songs mouse ever gave us ❤️🙏🏿
2022 & this shyt still hit hard 🔥🔥🔥 🏁🏁🏁
Ladies and gentlemen..
You are now listenin' to The Growth (Look)
This my guide to the rappers
Before you go ahead and decide to be a rapper (Talk to 'em)
I know you think it's +Money, Cash, Hoes+
But funny when that goes
You'll be questionin' life after
Like "why did I have to" (I know it)
Seems like "yeah", seems quite clear
But these maggots take your dream and make it a nightmare
You been waitin' for some years
But everything is fake, it's like a rear view mirror, nothin' is as it appears
Can't trust people 'cause it's all about tryina succeed
It's all about the backstabbin' and greed
It's all about the wrong things
Sucks, it's all useless
And it starts to interfere with your love for the music (Damn!)
Catch 22, most dudes'll give it all for their shot
For most niggaz, this is all we got
Should you quit the whole thing?
'Cause it's enough bullshit in the whole thing
To almost make you wanna kiss the whole thing...(Chea!)
Goodbye
[Hook - repeat 2X]
So long, goodbye
Tired, of the game
Let's get there
[Joe Budden]
Sometimes you think you better off with that 9 to 5
Til you remember all the times you got fired
Sometimes you wanna dress down, walk out with no jewelry (But!)
But you can't, you under real heavy scrutiny
You ain't got a truck that's hooked up with rims
Kids'll see you like "damn, why I looked up to him?"
It makes some wanna quit, it makes some stand tall
If you don't sign that autograph, then it's one fan lost
Sometimes you don't feel like it
Everybody wanna be on you
Sometimes you just wanna be normal
Want the afore-mentioned
Sometimes you don't wanna be mentioned
Sometimes you just wanna blend in
Might think the statement's weird
When the world'll trade for your life (On some..)
Real shit I'll trade for theirs
Tell me now what's the answer
When they know you had a death in the family
And you still gotta smile for the camera
You thought everything would be all to the good
You ain't got as much money as you thought you would (Didn't blow!)
Some people sell out, fuck everything they shot
From their heart for that number one spot on the charts
That's what it is, I can't paint it no clearer
How you 'sposed to see straight when it's all smoke and mirrors?
(All smoke and mirrors)
Quit the whole thing, 'cause it's enough bullshit in the whole thing
To almost make you wanna kiss the whole thing...(Chea!)
Goodbye
[Hook:]
Arrivederci!
[Joe Budden]
Just when you think you wanna go on without the hype
Is when you go to do a show and see the crowd so hyped (And the...)
Die hard fans say "you changed my whole life"
So I sacrifice mine and gratify you with the rhymes (Yeah!)
Folks from the hood, that see you as a stand out
Outweigh the niggaz in the hood with their hand out
And goin' 5 days a week with no sleep's
A lot better than a cold park bench with no sheets
So fuck politics, fuck inuendo (Oh!)
'Cause you never seen a dropout so influential
Quit the whole thing, 'cause it's enough bullshit in the whole thing
It's my choice so I'm with the whole thing (Chea!)
Like "what"
Thank you for writing this whole thing! The build up from the first 2 verses plus the writing in that last part makes that 3rd verse my favourite
damn a brother beeeeeen trying to get this song on a cd so i can ride in the summer jamming this joint...
feel like I'm he only millennial that listens to Joe Budden and not these new rappers
Jamarco Wilson wrong
Still wrong.
Wrong. It's some young internet soldiers budding still.
@@LadleOfStew lmao internet soldiers. reminds me when i was young kid on joe budden forums. just us and the internet soldiers. even joe posted with us. those were good times man
Props to u 💯🙌🏼🤣
Whos here because joe is one of the greatest rappers D.O.A 🔥
joe budden is so dope!!
you are now listening to the growth
2018 and still loving this.
Un roman mare fan joe budden, respect.
Da ;)
Not for the casual fan. This one song is better than Drake's whole catalog. This is what you call an underrated MC.
Genuine music.
joe budden: "student of the game.. never been a teachers pet!"
Joe gonna be a legend
I have been trying to find this song! Thank you 🙏🏽
Still riding 2021 !!!
I love this song
Listen to this on the worst days in 2005 Iraq ROTM.
To Mr.Budden I hear you my brother keep SCREAMing.
crazy thing is this song was made when he was still relatively mainstream! wow
some real talk ,, props budden always makin that fire
He really is great rapper.. update time
Thank you Louis aka Kreace. Would of never known about mouse without you. Los Serranos, Ethel Esther homie
Real life. now my favourite budden track...!
he ain't underrated I promise you every rapper know him and what he's capable of but he just ain't mainstream
I forgot about that Growth album that never came out. I would buy that Glass house album though still
the growth
might be his greatest one
Shout out to Mal
He needs to start rapping like this again
The Black Johnny Gat I think so too. No one will agree but I think he fell off
yungmuniestakz don't speak such blasphemy lol nah he did fall a bit but his "fallin off" is still better than 90% of rappers in their prime.
Nunya Bidness disagree he's just so boring know. don't even know what his songs are about now when back in the day each song had a strong and definite theme. now it's just rapping about anything and that nasally style he tries to put on his voice. ergh just stop.
his last album was dope asf but tbh it didn't have that old feel
Needs to go back to more organic sounding beats, and stop that nasally voice he's been putting on.
What’s the original sample song
2020 checking in
def jam brings me here
Joe is better now than ever
K.O.V Apostrophe his musics timeless
yup this track is a cut above the rest
This hit different now that Mal & Rory gone.
100%
this real hip hop joey is one of the best he speaks from the heart and is not on this industry bull crap
respect from canada~
Yes!
R.E.A.L. Shit...! Noone can even argue...
love this song, too bad ass
damn this is one of the realest songs ive ever heard man real talk. shit.
Forgot about this one.
For years since 2005, i thought Real Rap died, but when i first listen to this, i'm like the Real Rap is back!!!!
Still listening 👂 in 2024’…. 🔥🔥🔥
I’m here from 2008 when I knew nothing about who I was 💙🤞🏾❤️
