Joe Budden Get The Picture Lyrics

(Intro Joe Buddens Speaking)

Lord please grant me the serenity
to accept the things i can not change
and the courage to change the things i can
and the wisdom to know the difference

(Verse 1 - Joe Budden)

Lord im tryin to keep good faith
but it seems like im the n____ that the hood hates
did my dirt thought i was past that
lord i feel like im being laughed at
I got some issues they making me wanna back track
i tryed to talk about less as i could
but im start to feel strange when im reppin my hood
them haters they tryin to make me rumble
see me headed for the goal with the ball they tryin to make me fumble
its some bullshit beef back around the way
should i pick up the pound tre blow these clowns away
catch'em puffin on a ounce of yay
drive by let a couple of rounds spray, then bounce to VA
s___ i asked god to show me a sign had to see somethin
totally forgettin about the fact i got a seed comin
worse case sinero is you and me dead
cause some n____s dont get the picture til the eulogys said
Lord i try to talk to n____s their ears dont listen
and if i do whats in my nature theres no missin
see i tryed to avoid beefin
but if i pop this n____ then f___ it everything happens for a reason
Lord grant me serenity to not murder my enemies
doin a 100 on kennedy til the feds finish me
mouse'll do the gat s___ put a tool to the b______
joe says the killer breathin and persue this rap s___
fall back or c___ back, i aint fightin no more
i tryed to show n____s love and they aint like what they saw
lord this gotta be me wit 2 guns on my waist
cause what i look like running away, never the case
Throwin blows at my set gettin bold with threats
but the only reason your block breathing is i sold my tech
now snakes are gettin smarter
and when the haters wanna hear somethin in perticular they listen harder
i left town looked that s___ty comin back
but f___ im just tryin to put my city on the map
its becomin to be a problem that i rap this hard
i tryed to start the takeover and come back for ya'll
Lord i should i start a war wit a bunch of felones
should i hold the city hostage put it under surveillance
somebodys tryin to knock down the s___ that i built
is that enough to make me live with the guilt, answer back
what if i get off family grievin within
friends sayin what a great rapper he could have been
but lord if that happens then revenge is next
what if my dogs get killed tryin to avenge my death
im thinkin all love ya thinkin the kid is nervous
i think partners you think i renigged on purpose
should i shed the blood of a cat i once shed blood for
should i kill a n____ that i once had love for
aight partner since you love to hate
wanna play the ace of hearts like i wont cut wit a spade
figure worse case sinero is you and me dead
lord this n____ wont get the picture til the eulogys said
