[Hook: Bryan Adams - "Brothers Under The Sun" Sample]
I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky

And we were the same - just the same - you an' I.
We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one...
My brother under the sun.


[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
Mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check
Mic check, 1, 2, 1, 2.


Ol' head said reality is fake an' fake's the new real
Nuttin' but strive to me, but takin' a few pills.

ain't try'nna be the dude that's raisin' the blue steal
Vic's help me escape, they give me a new feel.
Unedited, ay'day is a newsreel, some cake an' a few bills

Honestly, all it'll take is a few mill (for what?)
For me not ta' have ta' portray no true skill (but!)
But lemme' jus' watch what I say, the truth kills.

(So) Be careful what'chu wish for
If I totally ignore it, I might withdraw.
I used ta' be pissed-off, piss-poor

Money crisp-poor, (it was) like this short.
It was kinda' hard ta' get the whole
puzzle workin' wit' half a jigsaw

I got mine, let me help you get yours
wit'out gettin' ripped off.
I left a trail ^!$$%, follow it

An' when it's gone, make a new one, don't remodel %#@!. Oh!

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

Make ya own mutha'$#&@in' footsteps ^!$$%, don't follow mine!
Huh!? I got great problems though, my problems are good!
L-Look, look, look...

New suit, dude nervous (what else?)
Ol' case, new judge, new verdict (what else?)
A new outcome like somebody reversed it

(I mean I'm) I feel like I'm a new man, a new purpose.
(Oh!) it's like a ^!$$% ain't feelin' so worthless
Kneel down an' worship, all them years was worth it.

So when he opened his mouth, I was stunned
He said, "You can't deny man his son." Be clear.
So if he wanna be there, you let 'em be there

Be fair, I mean, I can see he wants ta' be near.
I can see that he cares
I'll lock your $$# up you don't oblige, be-ware. (I mean it)

She stared, she scared.
My lil' dude always get the World from me
An' you want 'em ta' have the World, jus' not from me.

Back like I never left, was never forced away
Got nuttin' more ta' say. Oh!

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
When I see you I'm disgusted (^!$$%!)
can't believe I was ever in love wit' (^!$$%!)

Must've been dusted, 'cause you look like %#@!
All these years, they ain't done you
no justice. (Look at'chu!)

I mean you all $#&@ed up, can't get cash
Still bitter over a badge you can't get passed. (Huh?!)
Jus' sad, get mad 'cause my (*##$ bad

Everyday she switch heels, switch bags. (Whoa!)
it's like we livin' on a dock ^!$$%, big pad
You can't afford a deposit on my closet. (Not even)
Since you, all I ever known was fly %#@!
Unfortunately, you ain't fittin' that logic.

'Cause you're much less
Sometimes you gotta' stand by your
failures to recognize your success.
Still, I'll be the bigger man an' wish her all the best
While knowin' she'll never get it

So why would she ever quit it, it's ridiculous.
