(Intro) All Love Lost - Joe Budden

Just when I thought I can’t dig any deeper

Said my last shit was trash and they dig when it’s deeper

They ain’t see what I see, I guess my vision was weaker

Or they buy me to hear me, so we can skip all the features, I’m like

Woke me up with the pinch

So it’s in English now, since they ain’t wanna hear French

Ain’t wanna hear Wiz, ain’t want me with Kirko

They ain’t wanna hear me happy, now they lookin' for hurt, yo

They’ll hate it before they hear it if they think it’s commercial

And so they’re patiently waitin' for my fortune’s reversal

Check it… it’s like ever since Bundles passed

Took the high road and watched everybody underpass

Truth be told, God been lookin' out so much

That I feel guilty when I ask him for more

Then I do it like the shit ain’t ever happen before

This is all the while layin' on my bathroom floor

Hold up, I’m just askin' him, give me strength to grow up

By now I’m sick and tired of layin' in my own throw up

It’s a given, then self pity hits me

And I start to feel like I don’t deserve to be forgiven

Like when you can’t think, talkin' when you don’t drink

But sneakin' 'round your own kitchen cause you gotta get a swig in

I got issues, weed and vodka will settle some

Well ain’t that the pot callin' the Kettle One?

I know niggas so broke that they embezzle funds

Too busy waitin' for a chance that ain’t never come

But this is bigger than havin' a debt

I mean I can’t stop my brain from imaginin' death

Then out the clear blue sky I cry random tears

Used to it, me and depression been a tandem for years

I suffer from self doubt, put a cramp in my fears

If there’s a God, this would be the perfect span to appear

I’m not a street nigga, never claimed that sport

And some of that train of thought’s insane, had to abort

So people say I changed, I believe I should

Even so the goal’s always been to leave the hood

None of this should be a shock to y’all

Logic says if you’re still there, that’s a knock to y’all

Since you want a nigga furthest from his dreams

Love’s gone, DOA once we left the murder scene

Joe

When the love goes, the trust goes

It’s like you hit my heart with a snub nose

I don’t give a fuck though

Where did the love go?

Guess it’s all love lost

Been a hustle, a struggle

Say the truth hurts and then cuts slow

I don’t give a fuck though

Where did the love go?

Guess it’s all love lost

Now this might be the realest shit I ever said

Ever thought, realest I ever fought

Ignorance is bliss, you niggas were never taught

So when a challenge is sought, you niggas never retort

Me I’m too savvy, too witty

It’s just too much moxy

No percs, just a few crushed oxys

But gettin' off was imminent

When my dick became numb I was impotent

Shit got real different then

Was out in Cali with a model, little waist

And double Ds, a pretty face and long hair, name’s Vivian

Not the norm for me, askin' what’s wrong with me

Tried everything we could, nothin' worked, couldn’t get me in

We went on so many tours high

That chemistry we once had, did it all die?

Something’s changed, I just can’t put my finger on

And I’d be wrong to sing a song but let it linger on

Just know I’d die for my brothers

Take on the whole world, at least try for my brothers

Just wanna know that that’s reciprocated

And if that ain’t the case, nigga, say it

These just words from the heart

My life coach say I never finish what I start

Work, school and relationships become one

But if I took all I could, how’d I leave it undone?

I’m givin' all the love but not receivin' any

But then they mad I’m all for self and I don’t bleed for many

Shit I done made a couple of you bitches

Just by tellin' folk I was a couple with you bitches

Befuddled and so now I don’t want trouble with you bitches

Had I used my better judgement, I’d have muzzled all you bitches

I gave out careers, fixed your fashion

Did this shit so much you would think I got it patented

So many loved and mentioned me

Judged but can’t sentence me

Real nigga never cared

Worth a couple mil' and started from an idea

Keep it candid in the booth, never panic, I’m the truth

God starin' down on me through a panoramic roof

I copped to the murder, red handed, ain’t no proof

Love’s dead but you never understand it 'til it’s you

True colors never hide for long

When tables turn, ain’t gon' matter what side you’re on

And for me that’s a reoccurring theme

Love’s dead, I’m just walkin' y’all through a murder scene

When the love goes, the trust goes

It’s like you hit my heart with a snub nose

I don’t give a fuck though

Where did the love go?

Guess it’s all love lost

Been a hustle, a struggle

Say the truth hurts and then cuts slow

I don’t give a fuck though

Where did the love go?

Guess it’s all love lost
