Give Me Reason Lyrics


Ladies and gentlemen, you now rockin' with the best
Jersey City, stand up
Patterson, stand up
Off top, just blazeHold up nigga, slow up nigga
Don't start a war unless your dough's up, nigga
Know what nigga? Joe's up nigga
Y'all shouldn't cry about it, grow up nigga
Guess what y'all? I know magic
I could make your pulse disappear and no hat trickDeath threats, it ain't phase me
When I bring the T Mac through the rucker y'all, it ain't tracy
Sewed up nigga, low cut nigga
So keep talkin' bout your wrists froze up nigga
You might see thirty whips roll up niggaWe be at the pawn shop givin' your rol' up nigga
Just wanted to make that known, you seen New Jersey drive
Round here, leave that Maybach home
Before we tick that homes, we be on y'all jerks
You'll find out the hard way if your on star works, 'causeI don't need a reason to bust my guns
So don't give me reason to bust my guns

You might be the reason I bust my gun
I don't need a reason to bust my guns
So don't give me reason to bust my guns
You might be the reason I bust my gun'Til my day's up nigga, stay up nigga
Play Tony Montana, get your face cut nigga
That goes out to all of you play thug niggaz
How you want it, long nose or the trey snub nigga?Return and die dog, if I start clappin' in your crib
Nah I ain't tryin' to turn the lights off
Trapped on the chain, got the jewels and cape
Be like Jared, subways made him lose his weight, but look
I'm bout gettin' money for all races
Only oldie but goodie I know is small facesWait, make sure you heard right, woulda been put the hit out
But I ain't tryin' to get my third strike
Lace up nigga, say what nigga?
Your Maybelline raps that you make up nigga
Wake up nigga, stakes up nigga
For all my locked down and my cased up niggaz, 'causeI don't need a reason to bust my guns
So don't give me reason to bust my guns
You might be the reason I bust my gun
I don't need a reason to bust my guns
So don't give me reason to bust my guns
You might be the reason I bust my gunWho's that nigga? New cat nigga
Don't disrespect, don't do that nigga
Hate to hear the sound of the tool clap nigga
Dual strap nigga when I do black niggazFirst hand with a three eighty kickback
Brains on your lap dog, babysit that
Look, it's my turf, get up off the stoop now
I'm Omar Epps, who got the juice now?
Street love nigga, G's up nigga
You lookin' for a loan on your re up niggaHaters might wanna put hollows in ya
When you're young black spendin' like a lotto winner y'know
I'm grown up now, I'm done with Jake
When I say pounds y'all I'm talkin' bout London cake
I can serve it to you uncut or somethin' baked
Hope you ready for me folks, 'cause I'm comin' your way, 'causeI don't need a reason to bust my guns
So don't give me reason to bust my guns
You might be the reason I bust my gun
I don't need a reason to bust my guns
So don't give me reason to bust my guns
You might be the reason I bust my gun

Joe Budden (born August 31, 1980 in Spanish Harlem, New York) is a rapper from Jersey City, New Jersey. In recent years he has come to prominence as one of the most skilled and sought-for rappers in the game, despite his best work being on the internet mixtape circuit.

His music initially gained popularity on New York City's famous mixtape circuit in 2002. Although his biggest mainstream hit to-date is 2003's up-tempo "Pump It Up," Budden is known for his reflective and often insecure lyrics. He is widely considered one of hip-hop's most gifted lyricists, thanks largely in part to his numerous works on mixtapes by such DJ's as DJ Clue, Clinton Sparks, DJ On Point, and DJ Envy.

On one particular mixtape song, called "Crosscountry Connection", Joe started a feud with the G-Unit camp. The Game took offense to a line where Joe claims that gangsta rappers should "be in a G-Unit video with all the gangsta actors", obviously claiming G-Unit are fake gangstas. Unbeknownst to Budden, The Game had just recently signed with the G-Unit camp. The Game and G-Unit fired a few diss songs Budden's way; he replied in kind. The feud was ended when The Game and Budden met in a club in New York City and put the past aside.

During winter and spring of 2005, through Joe Budden mixtapes and hip-hop rumor mills, it was said that he departed from Def Jam to Roc-A-Fella Records with CEO Damon Dash. In reality, Budden was legally obligated to stay with Def Jam. In the beginning of Budden's career, it took him a long time to get public exposure, working more than three years from the first time his demo tapes were heard to the first time he was on the radio. He has appeared on many tracks with other artists including 112, Amerie, Brandy, Cassidy, Fabolous, Fat Joe, Freeway, Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Jin, Kelly Rowland, Lil' Kim, LL Cool J, Marques Houston, Usher, and more recently a remix to the hit song "Hollaback Girl" with Gwen Stefani. Some of these were not official remixes, simply mixtape tracks where a Joe Budden verse was added to an existing song.

Though he is thought of as one of rap's most skilled lyricists, Budden's success outside of the mixtape circuit has been marginal purposely. He is known to have invested in real estate in North Jersey and instead of blowing up into the rap scene he decided to make money from other methods instead of getting a record deal. His music is usually more sensitive and thought provoking than that of gangsta rappers, but subsequently, it is also more explicit and unrelenting than most "conscious" or "backpack" rappers.

In late December of 2005, Joe released a mixtape after almost 5 months of being absent from the game. Mood Muzik 2 is considered by most to be a lyrical masterpiece and with so deep tracks such as "Dumb Out" and the emotional "3 Sides to a Story" (in which Joe harrowingly describes a disturbing situation), many wondered had these songs originally been scheduled to appear on The Growth.

In 2007, he was released by Def Jam. In December 2007, he released Mood Muzik 3, which many are calling the best mixtape of the year, with some even saying it's the album of the year since it contains all original material. Some have questioned this since the beat for 'Ventilation' is an edit of 'It's A Shame (Da Butcher's Mix)' by Kool G Rap.

In October 2008, Joe Budden released another highly-rated mixtape, Halfway House; featuring album cuts such as 'Touch & Go' and a snippet of 'Blood On The Wall', a diss to Prodigy of Mobb Deep.

In his career up to his 2nd album, he has worked with artists such as Busta Rhymes and Christina Milian, and has been involved in feuds with rapper The Game and G-Unit. He has since reconciled with The Game.

Since this reconciliation, Joe Budden signed to Amalgam Digital records, and both artists finalized the beef and have collaborated on the single 'The Future' for Joe Budden's now-released 2nd album, Padded Room. The album released February 24th in the U.S. and March 3rd in Canada.
