Joe Budden - Young Niggaz Lyrics
[Joe Budden ad libs]
[DJ On Point - talking over Joe Budden]
This shit right here in called Young Niggaz
Shout out to my nigga Ron Browz on the beat
(DJ ON POINT)
[Verse 1 - Joe Budden]
Yo, my struggle's a little different
Y'all niggaz was selling, I was sniffin
Psyche, rewind it, I'm just kiddin (OH!)
I was hangin with old cats, tryna put my bid in
Same safe you was stackin in, I was tryna get in
Y'all was fuckin with pigeons (naw)
Was still spittin, before the video vixens
Around the time Ewing had got dunked on by Pippen
Niggaz was still pitchin
I was stealin money from my moms anytime she left her purse in the kitchen (that was fucked up)
Guzzlin a fifth and
I was high as a fuck, OD'n on Visine, so my eyes wouldn't glisten (OH!)
Moms still bitchin
She thought I knew better, but I didn't
She tried to talk to 'em, wouldn't listen (listen, wouldn't listen)
It's almost like somethin inside of me kept itchin
I thought the streets loved me, naw who was I kiddin? (kiddin)
God lookin like the devil (oh)
Sendin me to the pawn shop anytime I found shit that looked like metal
I dropped outta school, naw not to be cool
I was sittin there bored, thought all y'all was fools
Fuck I wanna read up on "Romeo & Juliet"
Way back, I ain't even have my first toolie yet
Angie ain't even make that knife go through me yet (talk to 'em)
Matter fact, I ain't even smoke my first bollie yet
Tried to have it wrapped, but things wasn't a doobie yet
What was comin for me, but naw it ain't subdue me yet
[Chorus - Joe Budden]
Young niggaz, know I used to be a young nigga
I used to pop off to prove I ain't the one nigga
B and E's, stick ups and dirty guns niggaz
This before I finally had my little young nigga
Young niggaz, God keep me from these young niggaz
Not the smart ones Lord, just the dumb niggaz
Might have me thinkin I'm still one of them niggaz
Shit changed from when I used to be a young nigga
(You know why his name is On Point, cause he On Point pussy)
[Verse 2 - Joe Budden]
Yo, aiyyo
My first time locked up, I was a child
Met up with mad niggaz I ain't seen in a while (yeah)
And it wasn't bad bein locked in with them (but)
But couldn't fathom lockin in at 10
Like fuck readin a book, sat on my bunk, mad time to get my thoughts straight
One month, one shower, still without a court date
Just bags of nicotine, rollin paper
Did pull ups, push ups, how the fuck'd I get here?
War stories, you hear a lot of shit here
Great place to visit, but naw don't wanna live here (live here ...)
Naw gotta get my mind in a new place
Grimey ass niggaz stealin my socks and toothpaste
Can't ever remember feelin such neglect
But snakes get snaked (dog), what the fuck'd I expect? (expect)
I thought if anything I had earned niggaz respect
But niggaz hung up soon as they heard "Collect"
Had my mag with the tits out
O.G.s' said to me the streets don't love you, they'll be there when you get out
Bunch of the same people, stealin the same space
A few of 'em'll die, a few will take your place
I prayed to God that I never catch another case
Cause CO's just treat us like we rats in a maze
You wonder why Joey always hype and smilin (why?)
I was this close to Rikers Island
Was bein on Rikers, wilin (wilin)
I've been through way worse shit than havin a few gripes about my album (c'mon)
[Chorus - w/ ad libs]
[DJ On Point - talking over Chorus]
Shout out to mixtapekings.com
Can't forget my nigga Moozoo, Victory Square
[Outro - Joe Budden - talking (echo)]
For real
God keep me from these little young niggaz man
Cause I'll fuck around and get a bid
Make me somethin stupid and shit
Made me resort to bein ..
Bein the old me and shit
I worked hard to get money
I ain't tryna go back
I ain't tryna go back to the hood, keep my eyes lit up
Keep me from these niggaz, for real

Where can we find this instrumental? it's impossible to find!!! i tried even figuring out what sample was used for the instrumental and i can't seem to find it or have the slightest clue. Anyone got any traces on where we could find this beat!?!!
I remade it
you gonna share that?
lol most of joe buddens fans right now are tight jean wearing twitter bop instagram niggas, but in the early 2000s before even Mood Muzik he used to spit east coast fire in its purest form
what do jeans have to do with anything? oh you wearing some jeans 3 size larger than your real size
josj15 L
I used to pop off to prove I ain't the one nigga ....dead ass
hella bent degenerates
I like rap painting a picture. not random ghetto topics strung together. its usually when the vets aint hungry they end up sound like this. joe budden here is hungry. he talkin to him, delivery, ridin beat, chorus is great. piano adds sonic. dope. my favorite. 'fuck readin a book'
Classic!!!
real shit man
@afwert 856 ^^

A-Dox
I was high as a fuck, OD'n on Visine, so my eyes wouldn't glisten

@cletedawgthewalmart he lived in new york at a point in time
Yes Sir
1:08-1:17 illest lines
dropped out of school naa not to be cool I just thought all yall was fools..
luv this
@puertoricanrum151 Don't type LIKE THIS.
HOW DO I EXPRESS MY SELF!
joey keeping the art of storytelling alive in hiphop
I really like this song, it makes a lot of sense, I knew a slew of kids when I was younger who were all about the gangsta noise and what not. I know a few of em who ended up as straight crackheads, or in juvie with fucked records, or with kids and dropping out of school working at gas stations and they're like 17. Joe was mad lucky. Not many are these days. <3
@afwert 856!!! JOEY!!!
Sick yo
If he can do songs like this on a more consistent basis, he would be that dude. Joe is talented as hell, he just has to do better at picking beats that fit his bars and tone. This shit hit home because I can relate.
tats wat I'm talking about kid joey is tat guy
Need Instrumental!!!!!!!!
He's real good at telling life stories
ha this shit is real
Listen...Joe is a TRUE lyricist...he not only says what he says but...he says it clever...
AND he puts his personal pain into his music...unlike ALOT of the rest
This is Hip Hop...if ya say not...well..ya get it confused..
MAJESTIC
I didn't know Ron Browz did this beat.
I agree Joey might be the best in the game right now
I def. get this shyt. Mad young mutherfuckers talk and act hard like they got something to prove, I used 2 do dat to, then you realize dudes get locked up and go nowhere and all dat tough talk dont mean shit in front of a judge when you lose you job.
there will nevert be a mood musik 2 again, damn. all his new shit is crack, but mm2....classic
Eminem is nice no doubt but saying Joe Budden sucks is just bullshit. Of course Eminem, is above Budden but dont come on here denying Joe Budden is nice with the mic too
He has toooooo many songs that are great
Add a couple more like EXXXes, couldn't help it, & pray for me.....this dude is insane wit dis shit
The same dude da made this beatz is the same dude who made arab money beat. (Ron Brownz)
YES!!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion I think Mood MuZik 2 was better than Mood Muzik 3, I got both and they're both hot thpugh so it dosn't matter. Joey!!!!!
