Joe Budden - Sidetracked Lyrics






[Joe Budden]
Whatever happened to that?
Joey! Yeah
Seems like I gotta buy a weed bag (so easily sidetracked!)
I think it mighta been next week
Mighta been next month, shit (Joey!)

Look, sometimes I wanna make money
But sometimes I ain't motivated; sometimes I think it's overrated
Sometimes I'm thinkin I wasn't supposed to make it
But what I show is basic, I normally poker-face it (what else?)
Sometimes I wanna make music
Sometimes I think it's just useless
So y'all don't hear a lot of new shit
Clueless, dependin on what my mood is (ohh!)
Sometimes I wanna dress down
I mean I wanna let up, but y'all be let down
I'm so easily sidetracked
I just lost my train of thought, but besides that
I wanna stop somebody and keep it real
But know that they'll understand 'fore I tell 'em how I feel
I wish I knew how it'd feel
I swore I needed somethin from the store (like what?)
Got a call that I just ignored, my day is hectic
I'm overwhelmed with thoughts, leave a message
This Saturday I, planned on goin shoppin for my kid
Wanna smoke, no cig's, I'm like "Where the fuck's the store?"
Got a migraine, but I forgot that I was sick
Cause these jeans don't seem to lay right over my kicks
And this'll be the last time I buy this brand
That I try this brand - oh shit, the bitch called me
She seems like the perfect girl to cheat with
Sleep with, I bet that she can keep a secret
I turned the radio on, and heard a beat sick
Know I can kill that shit better than he did
Sometimes I could be so analytical (why?!)
With no audience, so who am I a critic to? (nobody)
I'm so easily sidetracked
I just lost my train of thought, but besides that
I spent years tryin to figure out why is that
Beat of my drum thrown off by a hi-hat (ohh!)
I should hit the club, get a outfit
But fuck that, the lifestyle ain't about shit
That no longer gets me up, it don't arouse shit (why?)
See I'm on my OnDemand in the house shit
I've lost so many relationships
(Tell me) Is it, just because I don't relate to shit?
Me I (me I) I hate ignorance so much
I'm prayin for niggaz that didn't grow much
Maybe our whole generation was raised wrong
I'm only responsible for me, I gotta stay strong
I'm so easily sidetracked
I just lost my train of thought, but besides that
I spent years tryin to figure out why is that
... Why? But besides that

Uh uhh, I'm so easily sidetracked!
Uhh, goin on nigga, I spent years tryin to figure out why is that
Why? I mean, I'm so easily sidetracked
Fuck is goin on?

Yo, cig's still unlit, lookin a pic of a man cross-eyed
On my way to kill the nigga 'til the thought died (uhh)
Or it's a lie, I'm just hogtied
Got frog eyes, cause chick with a phatty walked by
Nice complexion, nice tan
And so behind her I ran 'til I seen her desination was a man
(So) In the street I stand, with my heat in hand
For what reason, I don't remember beefin
Note to self on my hand, "Get even!"
But I don't remember needin re-venge
Now anybody comin toward me I'm reachin
Leg bleedin - (so) fuck it
I'll retrace my steps followin the path of my blood leakin
Led me to Juan's house which I visit every weekend
To my knowledge, me and him wasn't speakin

    Soundtrack to my life

  60. H.... I....

    do tell has to be one of my fav if not my overall fav joey track!

  61. Z.... S....

  62. Z.... S....

    word, one of the best lines in rap.

  63. B.... ....

    I've lost so many relationships, is it, just because I don't relate to shit? <--- Fucking genius.

  75. E.... ....

    You know how some songs you feel so much that you get kinda choked up? This is one of those songs...

  76. Y.... ....

    I'M SOO EASILY SIDETRACKED!!!

  77. T.... ....

    I've listened to this song a million times, and on some real shit, this brought tears to my eyes because this shit is so relatable..... It really is music therapy.... Only Budden

  78. L.... T....

    I feel u Joe.

  79. t.... ....

    Every time i listen to one of Joe's songs i think Dame this ones Dope Damn this one Dope too.

    @Atadratel if u liked 3 sides listen to Freight Train, check out in my sleep and this is for..but man pick any of his shits and u goes in

  83. J.... ....

    @Atadratel

    Joe Budden really shines when he does his 'Mood Muzik' Series. Mood Muzik 4 just recently came out late last year, its classic imo. Definitely check that out, and his Mood Muzik 4.5 is coming out later this month with like 7 new tracks or something. One of his most popular songs is Dumb Out, if you havent heard that, thats Joe Budden in a nutshell. My favorite song from him is 'Get The Picture', not on any of his major albums. Some of the realest lyrics ever

  84. T.... P....

    coldplay and joe budden??? thats some heavy stuff, great muzik

    Somehow I just came across this song and it might be my new favorite, can't take it off repeat. I used to listen to Whatever It Takes/Find A Way everyday for months and know all the words, this song is my new addiction. The beat is nuts too.

  96. k.... ....

    @aoarecruiter cool, never knew that. it's a tight sample nonetheless

  97. l.... ....

    @krayziebydaflesh Nope Coldplay sampled this beat from a band called the "Blue Oyster Cult" that has been around since the 70's.The song they sampled off to get the beat was veteran of psychic wars.

  98. k.... ....

    @aoarecruiter Thought this was a Coldplay Sample

  99. F.... ....

    @jonnyboi93 so tru i dont even turn the radio on in my car just cd or ipod
