Joe Budden - 1000 Faces Lyrics
[Intro - Joe Budden - talking (echo)]
Uh, a thug changes
Best friends become strangers
[Verse 1 - Joe Budden]
Went to holla at a hoochie with the same line
Sort of, honestly I'd never guessed you were a hoarder
And if that would manifest all 'cause of what we both thought of her (dog)
So I'm like "how could you get mad at what she thought of me?"
I found out seasons don’t only change quarterly
'Cause you got bitter, it was real fickle
With me sayin "girls are a dime a dozen", knew a nigga with a nickel
I guess nobody told him that gossip and slander's not the answer (nah)
Wish I’d a known that you would flip out over propaganda
Ice in my veins, some people are less skilled (what else?)
When my friends in doubt, they learn a valuable lesson 'bout
In thirty years I ain’t reckoned how to reconcile
What hurts more? The act of gettin cut off
Or realizin that your two cents wasn’t worth more (dog)
[Chorus - Sample from "A Thousand Faces" by Creed - w/ Joe Budden ad libs]
Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell which is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you see the truth?
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
[Verse 2 - Joe Budden]
Check it, nothin could help somebody switch up more than thirst can
I've seen the ill effects that fame could have first hand
Am I to blame for the person that you became?
When you’re already on that path, it's so hard for me to explain
Look, some indicators that I'm watchin, who I never met
I see some things happenin now that you would never let
If you were in your right mind
Were you showin me the right person at the right time
Or, were you tryin to make it easy? Did it really please you to please me?
Did that make you change everythin about you to appease me?
My pride in shambles, wonderin why or when did you decide to gamble
Or are you competin with Maia Campbell?
When did that become suitable?
How could you make somethin so ugly out of what was once beautiful?
Next time beauty’s headed towards me, I plan to dodge (until)
Until I see it's not just bein used as a camouflage (oh!)
[Chorus - w/ Joe Budden ad libs]
[Verse 3 - Joe Budden]
Check it, only reason I continue to antagonize
Just my way of bringin truth into a pack of lies
Reveals peoples' true colors, moves a bad disguise
Even though it's somethin I predicted, I just act surprised
That way the armor never chinks on me
Drunk mouth, sober tongue, homie drinks on me
That way I'm protected, y'all got no choice but to respect it
Seen too many come and go to be affected, how's it not expected?
I'm hip to what it's bound to be
And them relationships combined, ain't weigh a pound to me
And so the bullshit, make sure it's tasteful when it's done
You can keep your thousand faces but try bein faithful to one
[Chorus - w/ Joe Budden ad libs]
Tell me, tell me, tell me
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me which is you
Tell me which is you

Mood musik 4 one of my favourites of Joe was/is soooo good, this are one of my favourite songs on it
Real talk this mans spitting venom and damn I just discovered this guy. Who the hells been hiding music from me?
Victor Gronek {Grińgo} you have a lot of music to explore my guy
Greatest to ever do it
News flash!!!! Nobody is hear to listen to the creed chorus!
This whole album was fuckin amazing
creed!!! I love how he samples the right songs... this is a mixtape ppl, so its no profit... sampling it is OK...now if it was on a album, he would need creeds approval
still fire

Fuck you for making money off music you didn't create
MrJre4491 u don’t know wtf u talkin biut u dumb stupid fuck
joey uses a lot of hooks from different geners an i think thats only because hes an eightys baby listen to same music i listen too. rock, elevator music, r&b, 80's pop etc me i believe he does that for his own self.. also he cut an oaste when he first came out. then he feat emanny most of the time an goes from the also hooks he uses express what he just spit just in a simpler way.. #much love joe. #Boston
"i like better when i felt like i had something to prove"-j.b
+WINTERHILLGANG617 Joe budden is that dude, people sleep on this dude because of the pump it up song, but he says it himself they wanted him commercial and thats not him, eminem wasnt stupid for signing him and slaughterhouse. Im an 80s baby born and raised in New Bedford, Ma, and i can relate to his music. He seriously is underrated, alot of the next generation love that new autotune reverb garbage. Joes just that dude. Btw 617 all the way brother ;)
@WINTERHILLGANG617 and area code 413 baby
+WINTERHILLGANG617 nah he just has a diverse musical hear. Most of the rock he samples in alternative rock from the 90's and early 2000s. I love alternative. breaking benjamin is my favorite
@Shock Value joey the greatest of all time . New b in the house. #westend
@HEAVY HITTAZ PRODUCTIONS word brother south end here, Joey Needs to stop hiding behind puff lately, but he’s still my dude #Respect
The way he weaves the lyrics on the beat and his flow are not of this world. You hear so many rappers who rap on this gimmick sorta style but he's just poetry in motion. He just is writing about real shit but in an artistic original way.
The sample is badass. It's coo how he plays it. As it is. contrast is rad to hear.
+Max Greene (Yoga-Innovations) I agree 100 with you about his style being "poetry in motion". I saw an interview on Vladtv and they were talking about how everybody is looking for the next Tupac. When he's been here all along, JOE BUDDEN! Cuz you feel his music in ways u feel pacs music. He puts the emotion in his music like pac.
Best way I've heard it put
he made this song 100 times better. creed is a wack ass band.
+Mikey Southland come on now, without creed this wouldn't be as dope. no shade to Joe tho.
+Mikey Southland Shhhh
Creed is amazing.
He coulda at least taken creed Outa the song all together but making it to were ya hear them I'm the chorus jus goes to show this jack ass can't come up wit his own shit he totally ripped nbl ruined an amazing song by an amazing band
Shut the hell up.
Wut can't handle the truth?
ya corny
Shut your dumbass up, as much poetry he put into this song I bet creed wish they put him on their song
Mark and Scott should sue for the chorus. This isn't a sample, this is copy and paste
@Ryan Sullivan Mood Muzik was a mix tape. Joe Budden didn't make anything off it. So what profits are "mark and scott" (lol, first name basis? you, mark, and scott must be close) going to sue for? What revenue did "mark and scott" lose from Joe using this on a mixtape? Also, have you seen what Scott Stapp does with money? He blows it all on getting drunk, drugs, prancing around naked in public, and then putting out youtube videos about how he's broke and living in homeless shelters.
tl;dr go play white knight sjw someplace else
Well, he did sell the box set with all 4 mood muzik's for like $70 (been too long since I bought it to remember for sure). So he did make money off of it. I wanna know how Ryan came to the conclusion that Joe Budden didn't clear this with them in the first place though
Ryan Sullivan shit up bitch
Creed RIPOFF
Not even creed lol its just scott sapp
I hate when samples aren't synced with what's being laid over the sample. I kept thinking it would be nice if Joe either sped up his vocals to match the sample. I don't see Creed doing the work to slow themselves down or giving him samples of the everything to speed or slow down as he wants.
Best rapper alive...until he signed a label deal :/
I like the verses, but what's the point of copy/pasting the chorus from the Creed song between the verses, put a badly synced electric drum beat to it and expect us to think it's original?
He sampled their lyrics, because it was relevant to the song.
More like he sampled the whole song and put short bits of his own work in between
@Jens van der Ham So the chorus and the beat is sampling the whole song?
So many quoteables. REAL RAP
Not that I don't like Joey his flow is amazing but he takes lines from other songs like it's nothing lol
budden is real PERIOD, im sick of these wanna be rappers acting like there not real people always stern and strict.
reminds of me when i used to play final fantasy 13
Said the dick head with the name "TheFirstdragonslayer" x'D CTFU
Mike Kennedy has two assholes.
19 people had 999 Faces
This music is my life at the moment Joey is special top 5 without a doubt..

To Joe I got them whack slaps check um out son!
One of my favorites. Get em mouse!
jersey wudduppp!!
thats all true but coke dealing is pretty hardcore i never met nobody with tight pants and bright shirts that sell coke haha
Well said! i agree with you 100%
the realest!!!! the comment
You can keep your thousands faces ....tell me ...tell me which ones you...
noone could have worded this better. fuck sales n fuck swag. joe budden about as real as it gets
love the sample
HIS SONGS SOUND LIKE HE GAVE YOU A PERSONAL SHOUT OUT IN THE BEGINNING LIKE HE MADE IT FOR YOU
i always say people dont like joe buddens because they dont like hearing the truth...like joey said in pump it up remix EVERYBODY A KILLER BUT THE DEATHS DONT ADD UP
If it wasn't for Budden I woulda lost my sanity long ago! REAL TALK!
Exactly, well said.
I like how he qoutes tupac in his raps :)
couldnt of said it better
You can do your commercial thing but u better NEVER stop doing this mood music type of shit it really helps A LOT of people get thru hard times in their lives
"What hurts more? The act of getting cut off or realizing your two cents wasnt worth more" - "Am i to blame for the person that you became, when ur already on that path its so hard for me to explain" - " my pride in shambles, wondering why and when did u decide to gamble"- " you can keep your 1000 faces just try bein faithful to one" - this song is just one big quoteable......I can't thank you enough joe your music has helped me thru sooo much its crazyyy!
Thats the mutha fuckin' truthhhh
I really feel this...If your going through some shit like this you definitely love this joint
Joey cupcakes on some wack ish. Don't even know why I gave this a chance, sorry to all the fans.
WTF YOUU LIED THATS BLASPHEMY
next time beauty heading towards me i plan to dodge
till i know its not just been used as camouflage

@FanOfRealHipHop If you listen to real hip hop then I'm sure you can respect a kid tryn to get his music heard, If that. My main point for making music is to be real and push a message. Im trying to keep real hip-hop alive and bumpin. I'm 15 and from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Please take 5 minutes out of your day to listen to a young kid with an old soul.
how people still doubting this MC?

Quit the fu*king comparison between rappers, that stupid thing ignorant people who got no skills themself. Joe Budden isnt anything like 2Pac or Biggie , hes Joe Budden , hes brilliant artist . Just enjoy the music while you can !
It is Nas, not Pac
@Scarecrow2l Sorry I was thinking about the Message on Nas It Was Written for a second, either or both great rappers to look up to though. Thanks I forgot about Pac saying that on I aint mad at ya.
@Scarecrow2l THE GOD NAS!!!!!!!!!!!! I am betting alot have him as their fave rapper deep inside.
@TheCloverking75 he aint better than biggie.... pfft thats blasphemy son

@alloutrockfan im not talkin directly towards you. Alot of cred fans are sayn joe buddens version to their song sucks and their ONLY fans of rock. I love all those bands you mentioned. Everybody sayn it suck just cuz they dont like rap and its their fav band
Should of deff' made a video to this. This song never gets old to me.
Smh mann you creed fans are sooo lame & have no respect for music. As you can see Joe Budden probaly like this song by creed and decided to sample it. The song has alot of meaning and is deep. Its not a diss or saying hahaha us black ppl took ur song and fucked it up. Creed & joey are awsome.
This is what feelings sound like
@KidCuDiOwNz
If this lisp having homo killed creed's song then he would have more sales than creed. Isn't that how you judge music in the hiphop/rap culture? By how much money they have?
the lisp is killing my ears. Is their a dick in his mouth throughout the session?
You all just mad because a black guy touched and KILLED a white guys song. Its a song, chill out bruh.
Why yal keep sayn he ruined the song??? It's pretty dope to me & has a great message. I've heard worst freestyles to other songs than this. SLAUGHTERHOUSE ALL DAY
LIsten Ms R.M.C.
@krazysoon im white and i love hip hop.
You and the majority of hiphop fans
"now we was once 2 niggas of the same kind, went to holla at a hootchie with the same line" ... i aint mad at you for that one joe, RIP Pac
Joey makes the realest music, i sometimes wonder how this shit is real.. his lyrics give me the chills
