Budden, Joe - Clothes On A Mannequin Lyrics
[Talking]
Good Evening
[clears throat]
Ladies and gentlemen
I'd like to welcome everybody
Please be seated
We have a great show lined up for everybody tonight
Special guest in the house tonight
Joe Budden, J.Garden
Let's...GO
[Hook]
A wise man said we all wear a mask
At times keepin it on is too much of a task
Your face on the net, and your life's on blast
Sometimes I feel like a mannequin
But how they dress me don't make me the man I am
Not a rose dont hamper him
They just lookin' at the clothes on a mannequin
[Verse 1]
Look, look, look
I want the best cars and the best flow
I want the best broads thats how that go
I mean I want to be a star and collect dough
But even if I had it all it'd be just for show
I want the diamonds to make my neck glow (Yeah)
Lust for the next hoe a love will never let go (Talk to 'em!)
I want to run along from my shortcomings (BUT!)
But I smoke so my breath gonna be short running (OHH!)
I want to be in control, hands on
If I'm the pilot then we will never land wrong (NEVER!)
But I want to have faith, staying strong
Take the first step when I ain't got a leg to stand on
I got a lot to give but I want more
With numb thoughts, positive but i'm unsure
On the misplace, getaway and its disarray
And yall don't know the man just what he put on display (OHH!)
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I'm too annoyed to cope, tryna make a livin
Given I dont think that being a dope boy is dope
Out of every story, only 2 end in glory
Who am I to think I'm different than every hustler before me?
If I took my anger, became a gangbanger
I would aim to aim my anger at every stranger
Shawty wanna leave, honestly I can't blame her
Say the ones you love the most are always in the most danger
I talk a little slower so you have to hear
Dead man walkin, no tatted tears
Or realest to ever do it, cavalier
Hundred thousand dollar car, with rabbit ears
I don't welcome change even if it help 'em gain
Fuck a handout, I'd rather be self contained
L.V everything, lookin' well arranged
Y'all would never know that I'm practicing self restrain
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I been different, never mind I'm just indifferent
Ain't an old timer that would blame it on a skin pigment
Is it my imagination or a slim figment?
Or is gent ignant, probably why im indignant
Look at haters like 'why is it an issue?'
Is it because I'm sober but I'm on a high they can't get to?
God ?? fightin with his pride and his pitbull
God I was lied as it get to
Cursin' God out "why he decide to pick dude?"
I big bulls but when I try its abyssmal
Die and keepin everythin inside me a riddle
But they blinded by the condo size and it's sick view
Whys, try and answer the whys
What good is havin eyes when everything you look at you despise? (can anybody hear me?)
Or do you need ears when you dont believe anything you hear?
Maybe it's just something in the air
[Hook]

Budden, Joe Clothes On A Mannequin Comments
2020.... Please be seated
Cursing god out why did he decide to pick dude
I was connected to this song deeply the 1st time I listened to this song when my bro thru it on a mix CD for me. STILL 1 of my favorite, if not, my favorite Budden song ever.
QUALITY TUNE!!!!!!!!!!
Man brings back memories kept this shit on repeat
I really feel and vibe to this shit. Been listening for years. This shit is so deep and way over the average rap fans head. Joe goes to emotional depths other's just can't, won't and wouldn't dare travel to.
Joe budden > eminem...in terms of content
Wonder if Em has heard this stuff. I honestly think he hasn’t gone into depth on Joes music.
Joe Budden > Eminem
@The One2 I doubt em doesnt do his research c'mon now
joeys most underrated song
daaaaaamn !
his add libs r dope on this song
Favorite track on this album. How many people miss out on Budden because of pump it up and The Game? A LOT, I feel bad for them.
song never gets old...CLASSIC!!!
I can honestly say this is my favorite song right now. 🔥 fire 🔥 2017
LEAVE ME ALONE!!
Michael Atwell a classic Joey track
"$100,000 car with rabbit ears" whst he mean?
As a Budden scholar i would say he's referring to his pockets turned inside out. Revealing rabbit ears. Got a nice car but no money in the pockets.
@moodmuzik trust he's talking bout a car with suicide doors
Don't over complicate it. Just picture a fancy car with suicide doors. It looks like rabbit ears
articledon Rabbit ears = pull out your empty pockets...get it?
@artful dodger .... clues in the song title . Its about pretence $100.000.00 dollar car but no money . Car says money but really broke .
Joey Is Nasty, Gonna Get Em On A Feature For Sure
check me out Mark Jordan On YouTube 20 + videos
This has to be in my top 5 Budden songs: this, Slaughterhouse, 10 Minutes, real life and rap, and family reunion.
2016 and I still fuck with it.
JOEY!
Even though I could listen to Joey's songs for free, I buy them to show a little support.
still a hit always come back to this track.
I love the beat and the.song has some of the realest bars I ever heard I just don't like how at the end of the chorus the beat goes from like dark and raw.to.hopeful. it completely Conflicts the song
he did the same thing on A.L.L
True shit.
Respect.
why why why is so underrated?
If you think you can't f*k with Joey, pls stand up
thats what i like to see, no dislikes
very HARD TRACK.... joe went in... (CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME !!!!)
@konvictkinger he deserves to be wealthy
@D7HEATHAWKINS
good post!!
this beat is fiyaaa
joey is an artist worth supporting
to all... do NOT sleep on Mouse
@HOGIESGURL1 what u mean? I never DID sleep on him. I was tellin others not to. I've been followin ol' boy since 10 Minutes
this is hip hop. i dont know if u all know this are not but hip hop is purposely left underground because hip hop is a form of intelect, the very thing that the younger generation lack! NOW LETS GET BACK TO TURNING OUR WOMEN INTO WHORES AND OUR YOUNG MEN INTO MATERIALISTIC WHORE MONGERS. PEACE!!
Limewire....
buy it!!!!
support real independent artists and buy the album...its worth it
