Man Down

Joey

Mic check, mic check

It go

Okay the wait's up ,waited up, really don't know where to start

**** fresh home want me dead and gone, I'm darin' y'all

It's in arms reach when I'm asleep, I'm prepared for y'all

**** bleed, BIG agree, ain't nobody scared of y'all

Besides, let me summarize, they ain't got the wherewithal

I'm everywhere, they never there, when I'm gon' hear from y'all?

Y'all know me as Joe, don't wanna see me as Mouse

Let me  address all these rumors so they don't leave out the house

I mean it stared with Clue, that's when the bullshit begun

I was the best in my city, **** knew I was the one

Ain't have a dime to my name, still **** thought that I won

And **** that never did it want to tell me how it was done

I'm hearin' some wanna clap, they don't fuck with me, ****

They say I never go back, well, that's a luxury, ****

Something I can afford, so what they say get ignored

They pray I'm on the wrong end of that forty

They want me man down

They want me man down

Okay let's start it from scratch, put it all online

My character's been dafamed, I put it all online

Told 'em that's where we were headed, said I was wrong all the time

And now we finally here, I waited a long as time

Been called every name in the book, been a lier, a deceiver

A cheater, a woman beater, am I all, am I neither?

Been absorbin' the ether, robbin' Paul to pay Peter

High price to pay to strangers I been offering meter

I've been more than a leader, even with my back to the wall

Thought I was finished forever when I was practicin' falls

Now you second guessin' yourself, you gotta ask what you saw

They fishin', wishin' it's fiction, but ain't no actin' at all

Can't even fathom the gall, they mad I'm appalled

Too much passion to all, nothin' but bars, ain't no fashion involved

How is path ain't adored

How the fuck they laughin', I can blast through the door

Ain't fathom havin' so much cash in the drawer

First they love me and then they hate me, then they love me again

First it's lovely and then it's ugly, then it's fuck me again

Bitches don't text back and then they suck me again

But still it's none of my business what they think of me again

When we talk about skill, they just love me again

I call 'em out for the kill, they just duck me again

But I was born for the storm, I mean abnormal's the norm

Maybe they wanna know how long will they mourn

They want me man down

They want me man down

I'm wishin' this was a dream, maybe it's smoke in this mirror

Wish I could change it all just be blowin' smoke in the mirror

Been such a long ride, wishin' I was on the side

To get caffeine pills to stay awake with Sean Price

If I was by Eric Garner, I'd have yelled at the pigs

Gave him all my cash, he wouldn't have to sell that cig

Shout to Bobbi Kristina, let her know that I love her

Wish she was alive or didn't die the same as her mother

Maybe my thinkin' is off, when I blink I get thoughts

Of bullets shakin' the door, and tape around Chinx' Porsche

See it damaged my heart, I'd be right in Yams' car

To get the perp out his cup, and get his hands off the bar

Tell Stack that I miss him, see we losin' a lot

I wanna hear from Shakir, I still miss Stuart Scott

Chris Lighty, Robin Williams still to this day

I pray nobody ever feel that way, too many men die

Too many men down

Down
