[Talking:]

Chea... Escape Route... it's, it's that on top music

Chea, talk to em, the top

Ohhh!? on the track

JOEY

It's ya man, holla at him

[Verse 1:]

Now look, look, look, look

They say once you get to a certain age

At a certain point you hit a certain phase

Become hard to break out of certain ways

No matter how bad you tryin' to impersonate

So I promised, I swore

I start doin things that I ain't never done before

Going against my core, I was sure my new chore

Would be to go and see some shit that I never saw

I.E, I swore that when I left man

I'd never say another word about a Def Jam

When you look at the big picture gotta figure that

No matter right or wrong they interpret the shit as bitter

Niggggas, they don't care it's what they ask me

They don't care that I just answered this shit last week

And lastly, not a thing will slip past me

And most of these gangstas is bitches, ask apache

Nigggga

[Talking:]

Uh uh uh, never

Uh, uh, never

Uh, talk to,.. never

Nuh, uh, you already know

Never again

One quarter of the Slaughter

[Verse 2:]

Yo yo yo

Modern day Hercules on the track

Even if it brings me to my knees

I still put Jersey on my back

I swore id never cheat cause as hard as it made my girl cry [nigggga]

Man that day I felt my world die [nigggga]

Insensitive, so if you see me going through emotion

Most the time I'm going through the motions

I swore id never played or could but the CL so good

If I change my mind I'm going through it ghostin

Forgive me father, I swore I'd never lie again

But could'ntfight temptation, I had to try again

Swore I was done with vicodin 'til I changed my mind's mind

And convinced him it was harmless, just vitamins

I swore id never make another song

Contrived to conform to some shit that didn't belong

Orrrr, how about I never say never

If I start today, can't expect me to see something that far away

[Talking:]

Nahimean? it ain't tunnel vision or nothing like that

How the fluck...

Uhhhhh, uhhh

One more 'gain

How you sposed to see nothin?

You can't!

It's, it's, it's that amalgam music

[Verse 3:]

Yo swore I'd never respond to haters

Honestly it's draining

But on the other side it's entertaining

Built a shield that would never let the pain in

Armed with an alarm to notify me if it came in

And some niggas say I'm changing

So I swore to never be with them even though I agree with em

For better or for worse like a wedding

You chillin with a chameleon, I just adapt to my settings

Take a momento, and see a man without a memory

I don't remember me, mentally in fact similarly

It's just me and my alter ego

Pardon us, swore to never dumb it down but fans won't smarten up

I swore it never be another Mood Muzik

Or it'd be a while, I ain't in the mood to do it

I helped the game do away with all the trash

Never live in the past, treat everyday like it's my last motherfucker

[Talking:]

Treat everyday like it's ya last one

Tomorrow's not a promise!

Haha

Words of advice, words of wisdom

It's, it's, it's, that Amalgam music

Testing, haha

Just testing
