Duuuude ! Just know we are blessed to have heard such a great song and Artistry. Joe Budden is my favorite because he gets deeper than anybody else..................🎤 drop!
Joey and Emanny seriously need to do a full mixtape/album on some Best of Both Worlds type shit. Their chemistry together is just so much more than just the collaboration of an emcee and a singer.
What's crazy is Joe is rarely mentioned in peoples top 5 and 10! His ability to paint pictures with words is simply astounding. If you need convincing of this check out "All of me" another track with emanny, There is not even a chorus, its just over 7 mins of Joe going in!!
Facts!!!! Joe Stupid Nice!! Hes really the definition of underrated. I have a crazy amount of his mixtapes in my collection! This just so happen that this track came across my playlist & i had to see where the views was @ on this masterpiece of a track. Im gonna always rep for my city native.
It really makes me mad when people clown on Joe for pump it up but have never listened to any of his gems like this. Logic doing a lyric reading of pump it up like Joey wouldn’t murder him in a diss exchange
Exactly what the line says, like pray to god and say that your meant to stay here to help raise he granddaughter/daughter like with a little bit of rage not a whole lot
Uh, here's something I'd like to know Would you trade it all? Would you put a price on your soul? Answer that - you more about the outcome or the income? Would you give up your dreams to feel like you're living in one? Faced with decisions, would you ignore intuition? Trade in whatever drives you for keys to an ignition? Or would you go on like your life fine? It's funny how a moment'll change your lifetime Yeah, would I be held as a villain If I never helped with feelings? Change to sell a million? Yeah, wonder what these fans'll say to me Still'll garner some bravery, money never dictated me Cause my morals for cash just ain't a trade to me Respect is important, niggas know not to play with me It's not a void to fill, it's no vacancy Take it all, it's no taking me I'm a man You always said I wouldn't be so much in my way I've seen it all through these years, it's been give and take They thought I'd break, but to trade it all is no trade at all The ultimate contradiction What started as a hobby now an honest way of living Which took me to a genius from a pompous with a vision Could do a dramatisation on the drama I've been given Everybody says that, mine was kind of different So every composition is just a calm my in prison Armed and on a mission, strapped and only armed with my confliction Never phased me, my only armor is my thick skin Daddy talent, mama wisdom Master of deceit, I cheated through the honor system Quit my temporary job, earned more Left school, learned more, rehab then burned more Tales of B&E's, toast and extortion How my son was almost an abortion, I've been close to a coffin Wouldn't do over this rollercoaster Know it played out like it was supposed to I'm a man You always said I wouldn't be so much in my way I've seen it all through these years, it's been give and take They thought I'd break, but to trade it all is no trade at all Was froze over the phone Waiting for you to change your tone while I was smoking But that never happened like I was hoping Waiting for you to laugh, at least tell me you was joking But you just kept on with the conversation I'm trying to be calm and patient while pacing around the room Thoughts in my head are varied, that's you, grandpa and Mike It's very scary, it's cancer, hereditary Dad, We had our little issues after "Momma Said" Glad that's behind us so we can cherish the time instead I got faith, I know the Lord'll have a say But you got a daughter on the way, what more do I gotta say?

Really liking this song! I'm a huge fan of Shady Records, and I'd love to be a part of the team some day! I've only recorded in a studio once, but come check me out and you might like it!
Where is this man God I want to talk to him cuz he isn't working for me like people would love for me to believe like they do who don't cuz if they did I'd be getting better not worse cuz they're killing me and it's not even softly it's slow and painfully and calling it thriving when I'm dying already dead empty as all juice wrld robbery and can't wait to die already if that's what life really means cuz that's not my definition of living that's death I think
This song just came to my head after years... I miss real rap and storytelling 😤
Duuuude ! Just know we are blessed to have heard such a great song and Artistry. Joe Budden is my favorite because he gets deeper than anybody else..................🎤 drop!
Literally the greatest song of all time! Every word is air tight not a step missing and man that second verse might just be the greatest 16 ever
Joey and Emanny seriously need to do a full mixtape/album on some Best of Both Worlds type shit. Their chemistry together is just so much more than just the collaboration of an emcee and a singer.
Emmany sang he’s heart out and joe delivered as usual with such heartfelt lyrics wish he’d make a comeback ❤️
After coming back & listening to this years after, it still gives me the same goosebumps as when I first heard this song. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Same, like holy shit I remember this shit dropping in like 2014? Can't believe how good this tape is still, different era.
@@dylanbernard246 factssss 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That 3rd verse hurts every time I hear it.
Wish I didn't know that pain.

This tape brings back feelings that have been gone for a minute. Miss those days fuck
Guess we had the same thinking today

Shucky Shabazz yup. Dude is a genius.
The greatest emcee ever.
That’s a fact
Facts
Listen to the lyrics of this song, don't just hear the beat and bob your head. Budden is and has been a certified M.C.
Joey gets the best beats OMG, why isn't this on the radio. I need tracks like this, shoutout to 8bars
Just realised that most of my favourite Joe Budden songs feature Emanny. hmm...
That's that Summer Leather Vest shit right there #SLV
Yep, such a great combo! Joey's lyricism combined with emanny's silky vocals.
Love I’m good fire no singer
Love For You and More of Me easily two of the greatest songs I've ever heard

It really makes me mad when people clown on Joe for pump it up but have never listened to any of his gems like this. Logic doing a lyric reading of pump it up like Joey wouldn’t murder him in a diss exchange
2024 and beyond baby 😊❤
Joey and Emanny are back!!
Budden too sick. Anyone can explain the line towards the end where he says"tell god with a hint of rage it was meant for you to stay" ?
Exactly what the line says, like pray to god and say that your meant to stay here to help raise he granddaughter/daughter like with a little bit of rage not a whole lot
Joe can rap
been able to rap for a long time!
This gots to be thee best budden/emanny track! 💯
Uh, here's something I'd like to know
Would you trade it all? Would you put a price on your soul?
Answer that - you more about the outcome or the income?
Would you give up your dreams to feel like you're living in one?
Faced with decisions, would you ignore intuition?
Trade in whatever drives you for keys to an ignition?
Or would you go on like your life fine?
It's funny how a moment'll change your lifetime
Yeah, would I be held as a villain
If I never helped with feelings? Change to sell a million?
Yeah, wonder what these fans'll say to me
Still'll garner some bravery, money never dictated me
Cause my morals for cash just ain't a trade to me
Respect is important, niggas know not to play with me
It's not a void to fill, it's no vacancy
Take it all, it's no taking me
I'm a man
You always said I wouldn't be so much in my way
I've seen it all through these years, it's been give and take
They thought I'd break, but to trade it all is no trade at all
The ultimate contradiction
What started as a hobby now an honest way of living
Which took me to a genius from a pompous with a vision
Could do a dramatisation on the drama I've been given
Everybody says that, mine was kind of different
So every composition is just a calm my in prison
Armed and on a mission, strapped and only armed with my confliction
Never phased me, my only armor is my thick skin
Daddy talent, mama wisdom
Master of deceit, I cheated through the honor system
Quit my temporary job, earned more
Left school, learned more, rehab then burned more
Tales of B&E's, toast and extortion
How my son was almost an abortion, I've been close to a coffin
Wouldn't do over this rollercoaster
Know it played out like it was supposed to
I'm a man
You always said I wouldn't be so much in my way
I've seen it all through these years, it's been give and take
They thought I'd break, but to trade it all is no trade at all
Was froze over the phone
Waiting for you to change your tone while I was smoking
But that never happened like I was hoping
Waiting for you to laugh, at least tell me you was joking
But you just kept on with the conversation
I'm trying to be calm and patient while pacing around the room
Thoughts in my head are varied, that's you, grandpa and Mike
It's very scary, it's cancer, hereditary
Dad, We had our little issues after "Momma Said"
Glad that's behind us so we can cherish the time instead
I got faith, I know the Lord'll have a say
But you got a daughter on the way, what more do I gotta say?
You got twins to raise, they just beginning to age
Tell God with a hint of rage it was meant for you to stay
If I gotta explain what should be understood
Yo, I'd trade me in for you if I could it'll, we're all good
I'm a man
You always said I wouldn't be so much in my way
I've seen it all through these years, it's been give and take
They thought I'd break, but to trade it all is no trade at all
I need that guitar sound asap. That shit makes it harder
Royce is insanely good @ putting words together. They all kill it ofc... and dammit Joey is my favorite still.
This instrumental is needed....
Back at it bro
I got faith, i know the lord will a say
And u got a daughter on the way
What more do i gotta say
"its that knock right here"
This is joeys best song for me anyway
Check out "Only Human "Joey and emanny one of the best songs period
Dude. He has 100s
@@Cutastrophe and?
Really liking this song! I'm a huge fan of Shady Records, and I'd love to be a part of the team some day! I've only recorded in a studio once, but come check me out and you might like it!
Joeyyy

yumo
Where is this man God I want to talk to him cuz he isn't working for me like people would love for me to believe like they do who don't cuz if they did I'd be getting better not worse cuz they're killing me and it's not even softly it's slow and painfully and calling it thriving when I'm dying already dead empty as all juice wrld robbery and can't wait to die already if that's what life really means cuz that's not my definition of living that's death I think
Clearly a joe budden track
Can you please re post "life in the city" off this album..your version was slightly sped up and sounded way better than the actual
