Walk With Me Lyrics

Come and take a walk with me
I need all of y'all to come and take a walk with me
I need for all of y'all to feel what I'm goin' through
And see what I see, if you got time then take a walk with me
Wait a minute now, shit ain't like I thought it would be
Come to Jersey from New York with me, I know your busy
But take the time out to walk with me
Pay attention on this tour with me
maybe I'm seeing something wrong
Come along and make sure with me
Come and take a short walk with me
I'm seeing a couple things wrong with the way that I'm living
So come and walk with me I just need a second opinion
I'll introduce you to my friends, I gotta see if you notice
If they loyal or if they all got an alterior motive
They some snake niggas, me and them don't deal anymore
Ever since I got signed I don't know whats real anymore
I'm paranoid so excuse me if I seem to be nervous

But everybody from my past now they trying to resurface
Trying to rekindle, they don't think I know they got Limo
I got cousins I never knew they trying to pass me their demo
Maybe I'm wrong like I told you man I need your opinion
Me and them never spoke before
So I don't see whats so different
Dudes I don't know they recognize me start extending their hand
And I'm trippin' ready for beef when he was only a fan why
'Cuz these niggas in my hood say they don't like how I'm reppin'
Let me know how strongly you feel, will I be needing my weapon
As some sort of protection should I carry a pen
And pad and ask everybody in the fuckin'
Hood for they suggestions?
I'm letting the labels know that Jersey city is gifted
When they ain't no that Jersey city existed
But its cool you all
Certain cats in Jersey city so hateful
And certain cats in Jersey city ain't grateful
All they say is I don't chill anymore and ever since I got signed
They don't think I'm real anymore
I'm told I shouldn't be alone 'cuz I'm a star in my hood
"Something might happen Mouse
They know who you are in the hood", they do
So I can't tell you how I feel anymore
And ever since I got signed I can't tell what's real anymore
Come and take a walk with me
I need all of you all to come and take a walk with me
I need for all of you all to feel what I'm goin' through
And see what I see, if you got time then take a walk with me
Wait a minute now, shit ain't like I thought it would be
Come to Jersey from New York with me, I know your busy
But take the time out to walk with me
Pay attention on this tour with me
Maybe I'm seeing something wrong
Come along and make sure with me
Come and take a short walk with me
See to me is heavy, but to you it may seem petty
Lets continue walking I know you ain't tired already
I'll take you to meet my girl I gotta see if you notice
If she love me or if the bitch got an ulterior motive
Why am I hated 'cuz I handle my business
Ain't gotta look for a girl now a days
'Cuz almost all these niggas is bitches
See I'm often while we walking I'll show you the drug dealers
And some dudes that hate me
Word on the street's is they real killers
Where was the hate back when I wasn't on my feet?
A alcoholic, school dropout, just a bum on the street
Where was the hate durin' my adolescence?
Back when that physicatrist was trying hard
To get me on them anti-depressants
I don't recall none of this happenin' back then
And I don't understand I was still rappin' back then
So I gotta ride with a gun for trying to get my mom
And pop up outa the slums
And provide for my son
If you met my baby moms would you notice?
If she was ready for a child?
Or if her ass had an alterior motive
I don't know what she's teaching Trey
But every day he get older
Angie's bitter and feel like now that I'm successful I owe her
'Cuz she would hold me so tight when I was ready to relapse
Tell me to relax, I ain't know no better straight outta rehab
Bottom line I was lonesome, but we was grown for each other
Angie I grown some, got bigger issues
If you went to Def Jam would you notice
If they was out for my best interest
Or do they just see a dollar in Joseph?
Guess I ain't sure how I feel anymore
Ever since I got signed I can't tell whats real anymore
I mean them same record Executive that wanted me in
Don't care that I'm the next nigga they just wanna see spends
Guess I ain't sure how I feel anymore
Ever since I got signed I can't tell whas real anymore
You feeling me, dog
Come and take a walk with me
I need all of you all to come and take a walk with me
I need for all of you all to feel what I'm goin' through
And see what I see, if you got time then take a walk with me
Wait a minute now, shit ain't like I thought it would be
Come to Jersey from New York with me, I know your busy
But take the time out to walk with me
Pay attention on this tour with me
Maybe I'm seeing something wrong
Come along and make sure with me
Come and take a short walk with me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Joe Budden

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.
