Budden, Joe - Dumb Out Lyrics






It's stuck between platinum and flop, underground and mainstream
Concious, backpack, scratch that, same thing OH
I'm somewhere between the real and the fakeness
The red pill, blue pill, real and the Matrix
And I can't take this; if the game needs a new look
I'm between a tummy tuck and a face lift
And everything I say in these pages
Is straight from the heart, nah magazines, y'all can't rate this
But I'll be debatin it, it's a bit outragous
Like it's an air virus and this shit's contagious NIGGA
I'm downloadin like niggaz actually play this
Maybe I'm buggin out, maybe I'm on a spaceship OHHH
See I was on my stay out chill shit
The way Mouse kills shit, I'm here just to lay out real shit
Besides, other dudes styles remind me of spinnin rims WHY?
That shit got played out real quick KILL 'EM
See some wrote him off, some said he was done
Made a joke of, hope he enjoyed the run
I don't enjoy bein shunned, so I'm back as Neo
Fans enjoyed The One, annoint me as begun
I had the whole hood thinkin he would never eat
Rappers tried to diss, thinkin we would never meet NAH
I heard it if you said it
You wrote it on online then I read it, now I match it nigga bet it
Cause I remember clearly
Once "Pump It Up" stop soarin, there's a few motherfuckers stopped callin
See I remember shit spread like cancer
I would call folks said, folk ain't answer
A few chicks runnin started pullin they pants up
A few stopped actin like my private dancer OOOH
But a lightbulb hit once they started to neglect me
See there I was, thinkin I was all that sexy but I
Nah fuck that
Cause I'm still sexy, young and fly
Knahmean, ya heard?

Look here can't be finished, what nigga I beg ya pard'
I just let niggaz get a head start YEAH
I walk to the finish, y'all spread out chase
Nah sprint out pace, and I'll still win the race YEP
See I'm joggin
Other niggaz legs starts wobblin, when opportunity is start knockin
You got the crown, pass off like Stockton
It's time to work, I'm offically clocked in
He is a problem, weavin and bobbin'
Through the speculation that his label tried to drop him NAH
I can't leave, even though it's big options
Kev only signed me, to keep this shit rockin'
Don't ask me how I'm doin, I been better
Stuck in cold Feburary, with a thin sweater
I'm far from a "YES" man, I'm a trend setter
It's no games, just a Def Jam Vendetta
Don't put niggaz in the same sink as me
I mean metaphors, storylines, deep shit, club shit, girl shit, world shit
They don't use to ink like me
Niggaz don't even think like me NAH
Who sees what I'm watchin, he ain't poppin'
Don't deserve to drink water from the tub that I washed in
WAIT, start again, it's a privilege to breath the same air that I farted in
They want no parts with him
How dare niggaz categorize me
If my name's on a mixtape, then capitalize me
I been stopped goin' to Mixtape Awards
Don't need them to tell me, the mixtapes is yours NAH
I had other ideas, while hittin loot
I'm thinkin red carpet, I went and copped a suit WHOOH
See I'm thinking Grammy's
Sunglasses on, with my On Top family and a bad bitch handy OOHH
He stayed at the "W", it felt like heaven
I'm at an actress's house, that felt like neckin'
R&B on, looked and felt like Meagan
Gave me headache too, I felt like an Excedrin
Talk very fly
Least until I bought every pie, me me being war ready to my eyes
And these dudes might as well be Jamie Foxx
Trying to sound like somebody that already died
The kid keep a snub wit 'em, good pair of gloves wit 'em
Your first week ain't right, they can't fuck wit 'em
Now if you don't sell 5 mill, they had enough of 'em
Let me find out Hip Hop's turnin' Republican
I'll sum it up to what he is about
Still new to most, they still feelin him out
Things were type blam, Joey seasoned him out
I'm the nicest dude out since "Reasonable Doubt," say it ain't so
Rest in Peace Luther, there's some other niggaz gay on the low OH
So live, who can see 'em, no guy
I'm the Mets, was suppose to be ill in '05 WHOA
As ill as the flow gets, need a piller don't snitch
So if you can't tell, I'm preparing for '06
About to OD, anybody that know me
Can tell you I'm bout to make shit feel like it's '03
More like '99
No names should be mentioned but mine, unless you talkin' Big Pun in his prime
Maybe '96 Jay, before Dame was throwin' money around
Or 2pac without Humpty around
Or 50 before Em, Nas talkin' like a gun in his song
Cam'ron during "Children Of The Corn"
Beans before the cops came through and try to grill 'em
I'm talkin '95, Big L before they killed 'em
Em before 8 Mile, Shyne before the deal shit
Canibus, no album out before the L shit
Talkin' bout Kiss, DMX when he was fuckin' wit coke
Or "Cuban Linx," Raekwon and Ghost
I do it all, who blendin' so well in the game
Talkin' Fab, back when he was still spellin' his name MANG
On my Diddy shit, Memphis, Grizzlie shit
Like back in the day when Clue swiped all of Biggie's shit NIGGA
Rappers don't need trouble with I
Unless it's Rass Kass before the D.W.I
Or Talib with Mos, Common before "Be"
If they any less common, don't put 'em before me
See, I'm not a rapper, I'm a prophet
Chill Joe stop it, skill will speak for you, don't pop shit
Fuck jail, I'm on my payroll cop shit
I call that bootleg cable, it's no box shit
All black, lookin' grimey in the crowd
Heat on him, no sir, don't try me when I'm out
I toast somethin' tiny that'll blauh
Ain't gotta see Paul Wall, if you want somethin' shiney in your mouth
I probably fool cats, cause I don't ride out in some big car
In the streets, like I ain't some big star
And these young mother fuckers, is about to fuck up
Like leavin' they whole career in some bitch car
No name, but it's no sublime
Nigga you know who you are, I'll end it before it goes too far
Your buzz still fucked, you a liar money
Joe's still spendin "Pump It Up", "Fire" money
Glock for hire money, don't try to mug me
Call ass cap, maybe be at mines for money
Please, what's wrong wit 'em, somethin' ain't the norm' wit 'em
Ain't too many dudes out there, out performin 'em NAH
Some require these skills, I was born wit 'em
Street's askin' what's takin' so long wit 'em
Jump Off, I'm the best to happen
He's the answer, the who's got the next in rappin'
I suggest you ask 'em
If Hip Hop is all smoke and mirrors, then I'm the Windex and a napkin
New dudes is whack, some vet's is has-been's
Some were Top 20, till I crept right passed 'em
It's a wrap, Joey sealin' it nigga
Cold out, Long Johns still dealin' it nigga
Still peelin' it nigga
If I only get 'em two times, just know it was the dilinger nigga
It's that 'gnac music, don't know how to act music
Gettin' my Kanye on, puttin' out "Crack Music"
Car jack music, got what they lack music
Send my little man, get rid of the pack music
That I'm back music, that click clack music
That A-Team, Muggs, that Fab and Stack music
Now who said they fuckin' with me
They just said that fuckin' with me, they didn't mean it (NAH)

Budden, Joe Dumb Out Comments
  1. G.... 9....

    32 rappers Joe has beefed with gave this a thumbs down..lol

  2. N.... B....

    This shit is just rambling on drugs, it's like young thug speaking actual English

  3. R.... W....

    Still GOD level. One of my favorite tracks all time 💯

  4. S.... B....

    Camron's body bag song came on....n i had to go to this song.....titan type shit

  5. v.... k....

    Funny how when he talking about what rappers youre allowed to compare him too he says 50 before Em & Em before 8 mile . Joe been felt like he was nicer than em since about 04 which is funny cause Em definitely fell off in 04 . I know it comes down to preference but if I gotta hear someone rap id take joey over marshall.

    v.... k....

    Victor Morales in life actions speak louder than words. If Joe truly felt he could take on Em and win he woulda gotten in the booth and not cry on podcasts

    v.... k....

    @CamGoesHam The only people who want joe to jump out there are people who never checked for his music in the first place . He clearly said if em drops something worth coming out of retirement he will but em saying "budden, Ls" on killshot is definitely not that lol

  6. R.... ....

    Those first two bars... might be my favourite two bars in rap. Period.

  7. S.... K....

  20. A.... D....

  21. J.... R....

    this era of joe budden was legendary. Where im from ( Vancouver canada ) joe budden was big. every hip hop fan i knew was bumping his mood muzik shit till 2008. Its shame he never got his shine besides "pump it up". He really can spit also Desert storm back in the day was dope af !! rip stack

    J.... R....

    I live just outside of Toronto. Joe is a legend in my hood too. Us Canucks know what hip hop is

    J.... R....

    @Mike Stephenson thats the only good thing about living in canada I've seen.

  22. J.... R....

    The difference between a “Rapper” and a “MC” is defined by this track

    J.... R....

    Joshua Rivers it better be crazy I haven’t heard it

    J.... R....

    @cali budz Joe was in his bag those Mood Muzik days

    J.... R....

    N D you don’t see Wayne 07-10 like this? I do the punch lines all that. Have you heard demo freestyle 1 and 2 ?

    J.... R....

    https://youtu.be/_S54z_fwoAw

    J.... R....

    cali budz mixtape Wayne was a monster

  23. C.... B....

    People sleep on this dude. When he came out wit this track ain't nobody come back at this dude. Like ppl started beefin with the man when he got his podcast recently these past 3 years. But somebody better tell these New kids, he may not rap like this but he still will throw them hands with any of em

    C.... B....

    FACTS. His diss track catalog is legendary and trust me, it's like riding a bike, the BARS are still there. Fuck retirement. 🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

    C.... B....

    Chris Burrell I used to hate and still hate “pump it up”. I slept on him for a long time cause of that song. My friends and sister told me about “10 mins” so I gave him another chance. It still wasn’t amazing but it kept me interested until his mood Muzik mixtapes. Now he’s one of my all time faves.

    C.... B....

    DangerousUrNot 10 mins was crazy. And a Stand Up Nucca

    C.... B....

    'Hello Expectations' is quite similar 👌🏽... people who judge him on Pump it Up alone dont know shit

    C.... B....

    Rephan Hello expectations is brilliant. To me that was Joe, showing off.

  24. T.... ....

    We need Joey to Dumb Out on that washed up hypocrite

    T.... ....

    LBJTITAN23 Eminem

    T.... ....

    H.... t....

    Hugo ten Dam "who killed hip hop". I'm warning you now, it's 18 minutes long lol. That's old though. "Anti", "love im good" "control remix" start with those. Let me know if you want more suggestions.

    H.... t....

    the intro on mood muzik 2 also

    H.... t....

    Try "Three Sides To A Story" it's not as fast paced but the story line is incredible.

    H.... t....

    Definitely " Roll call " from mood muzik 3

  41. C.... ....

    ohh godddd.

  42. W.... B....

    this was hot for the time. I just realized when this was released.

  43. B.... ....

    This is the track that got me hooked in 2006 around the time Lloyd Banks dropped his mixtape "Mo Money in the Bank Pt 4", i had a discussion with a friend about who's killing the game at the time and he told me to listen to this ...from that point i've been a fan of Joe and never referred to him has the "Pump It Up Guy" again.

    B.... ....

    Bloodyrek funny, he actually disses banks in this song lol "these young mfs is about to fuck up by leaving their whole career in some bitchs car, no names but its no sublime"
