WHATEVER IT TAKES
DICE GAME VENDETTAS, ASS BETTORS AND LAMES
JAY
TO THE Z, AIN'T HOV BUT I'M KNOWN FOR REPEATING MY NAME
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO SAY IT AGAIN
(JOEY Z!!!)
GODDAMNIT, RAP'S STUPID, DON'T DO IT
STAND MOTIONLESS, NO MOVEMENT
THROW UP AND THAT'S DOPE MUSIC
JUST SMOKE CAUSE IT'S ALL RUINED
OR CHOKE ON YOUR OWN FLUIDS
I'M GOIN DOWN I INTEND ON DOIN IT HENDRIXLY
HORRENDOUSLY, WITH MONIKA DANNEMANN LAYIN NEXT TO ME
1970, IN KENSINGTON, REMEMBER ME
BASEDGOD, BASEDGOD'S A VERY CLOSE FRIEND TO ME
LIL B THE WEED MAN CALL HIM FOR THE REMEDY
ADDERALL AMPHETAMINES BRINGING OUT THE BEST OF ME
GIRL I'M FEELIN WILD TONIGHT, COME AND BE DEPRESSED WITH ME
I DON'T GET HIGH, I JUST LEVEL OUT
MY NORM RESIDES AROUND AS HIGH AS WHISTLES OUT THE KETTLE SPOUT
CALL YOUR BEST UP, SEND EM OUT
I'M TRYNA TEST MY STRENGTH ON LIVE BAIT, DOG, PROTECT YOUR MOUTH
BEST BLOCK YOUR CHOMPERS FORE I KNOCK EM OUT
BOPPED IN YOUR BABBLEBOX FOR WHAT THE FUCK YOU TALKIN BOUT
DAMN
I'M LIVIN BY THE STRENGTH OFF THE ZENKAI
CAUSE IF I WAS GONNA FUCKIN DIE I WOULDA BEEN DIED
I ALWAYS SAID IF YOU DON'T HAVE REGRETS YOU AREN'T DOIN ENOUGH
BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU DID TOO MUCH AND YOU FUCKED IT ALL UP?
NOW I'M STANDIN AND SHAKIN WITH MY FISTS BALLED UP
DOIN MY BEST IMPRESSION OF CHILL WHILE TRYNA FORGET Y'ALL SUCK
UGH
MY LIFE'S DUMB, I LOST THE LOVE OF IT
NOW I'M ALL FUCKED UP AND WONDERING IF I CAN EVER LOVE OR TRUST AGAIN
FUCK THIS SHIT, I DON'T WANNA RAP, I WANNA CUT MY WRISTS
BUT BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNG I STOPPED & PROMISED NOT TO PICK IT UP AGAIN
AND I DON'T BREAK MY FUCKIN PROMISES
I TRY TO STAY POSITIVE


WHATEVER IT TAKES
EVEN IF I REGRET IT TIL THE END OF MY DAYS
YOU'D THINK I'D HAVE MADE SOME PROGRESS ALL THIS TIME I'VE SPENT AWAKE
BUT INSTEAD I WROTE SONGS TO DELETE EM THE NEXT DAY
CAUSE SHIT GOT ME IN A MOOD WHERE EVERY MOVE'S A MISTAKE
BUT LIFE'S A CHESS GAME YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE TO PLAY AND IT'S FATE
A PAWN ON THE FRONTLINE, MY KNIGHTS THE ONLY L'S THAT I TAKE
MOVES THAT I MAKE WITH ROOKS HAVE GOT YOU SHOOK FROM THE GATE
BUT WE AIN'T PLAYIN, I'M TALKIN METAPHORS, LIKE LIFE IS THE SAME
AND I'MA TAKE MY CHECK MATE NO MATTER THE MOVES THAT IT TAKES
I'M HOPIN TO AT LEAST BE FIRST PERSON TO COME IN SECOND PLACE
THEN GET DRUNK TO CELEBRATE THE DUB, RALPH AND WRECK THE PLACE
CAUSE THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO END THE GAME
SET THE SQUARES ABLAZE UNTIL IT MAKES THE PIECES SEEM LIKE THEY'RE ALL SET IN PLACE
& THAT'S A DOUBLE ENTENDRE, BUT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT
I ONLY POINT IT OUT CAUSE THAT'S HOW HOV TAUGHT ME TO DEAL WITH IT
AWWWWW SHIT, I'M FEELIN IT
GOT EM ON THE HOOKS LINES & SINGIN TIME TO REEL EM IN
I'M ACTIN LIKE I'M IN CONTROL JUST CAUSE I'M AT THE STEERING WHEEL
DOIN A BUCK 40 HYDROPLANIN, MAINTAININ, TRYNA HEAL MY SHIT
BUT FUCK IT THO, IT ALL FEELS LIMITED
IGNORING ALL THE VOICES YELLIN "KILL YOURSELF YOU IDIOT
YOU'LL FUCK IT UP, YOU FUCKED IT UP, IT'S FUCKED UP, THIS IS IT
GIVE UP ON YOUR MISSIONS, FUCKING DO IT, PUSSY, FINISH IT"
JUST BREATHE, I AIN'T HEARIN IT
I'M DANCIN WITH MY DEMONS & DEATH & MY LACK OF FEAR OF IT
52 CARDS, BARS, CARS, BROADS, DEAL WITH IT
SHUFFLE UP THE DECK FLASH CARD FREESTYLE WHILE HE STEERS THE WHIP
WITH A WEIRDO CHICK, ON SOME WEIRDO SHIT, EVER SINCE THE DOCTOR SAID "PUSH" BEEN THAT WEIRDO KID
WORD TO RED MAN
ROLLIN LIKE WHEN UNDERTAKER INCORPORATED THE DEAD MAN

WHATEVER IT TAKES
I'LL BREAK THE RECORD TRYNA SET MY SHIT STRAIGHT
SO NOW IT'S SKIPPIN FUCK IT DETOTONATE
I'M TRYNA BLOW SOME FUCKIN BRAINS, NAMELY MINE, ALL OVER THE PLACE
Y'ALL KNOW IT'S THE J O E Y
Z, NO HYPHEN
PEOPLE ARE FUCKIN DUMB I GOTTA SPELL OUT HOW TO WRITE IT
BUT I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HOW MY NAME IS WRITTEN
Y'ALL CAN CALL ME YOUR HIGHNESS


WHATEVER IT TAKES TO END THIS
SHOUTS OUT TO THANOS RAGE SHOUTS OUT TO KENDRICK
FOUND OUT THAT BETTER DAYS ARE ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE
THE GENESIS OF A NEMESIS CHEST-DEEP IN DEPRESSION
FUCK IT I'M GONNA DIE
I JUST WANNA BE HOV BUT HOV STILL ALIVE SO
