Joe Budden - Better Me Lyrics

OK but um who's alien messiah da guru god n what's he doing at Philips halfway house in long branch nj

Who is the guitarist? He killed it on some of Joes future work. He makes that shit cry, Joe makes the pen bleed

This is POWERFUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still in 2019 this song this album puts me in a different space...make me feel I can overcome my fuckups....Halfway House is hardest album to find Spotify definitely dont have it or livemixtapes...

July 2019... still bumping that ON TOP MUZIK

Sick album cover

Because I wasn’t born into a canopy, maybe I was prone to falling in love with vanity

2019 still on blast. "Music is Just What Feelings Sound Like"

OK but who's alien messiah da guru god n what's he doing in Philips halfway house in nj n how he knew about hidden before yall

I wish he could use this as a sleeper on his podcast

The music part of Joe's beats are much needed.

Thank you Joey, the rest is best left unsaid. its really irrelevant to say too much to this man, just Thank you Joey man, Salute the scope behind this masterpiece just thank you JOEY. 2019

I love this song so much. Thank you man‼️

If you were as good as people say you would still be making music instead of chatting to a bunch of dudes in a room.

Joeyyyy

2018 bitch!

Joey 201 stand up.

Some artists make timeless music some don’t

Damn Broo makes me think of 10th grade

timeless

💪💪💪💪

Damn one of the hardest songs

"Tell God I'm better than the shit I show"

Joe Budden sampled Incubus? And then threw some Chili Peppers’ lyrics in there too?

Melissa Ferrell his musical purview is so underrated

OK but who's alien messiah da guru god n what's he doing at Philips halfway house

Which songs

Still slapn this in 2017

Duell Tapia 2018 and beyond

Still gotta come to YouTube to hear this song because it's nowhere on any of these streams lol that must be a ill ass sample

daREALtruestory I feel your pain my man.

Datpiff.com.

I liked old Joe, he's such a fuck Bitch now

that guitar solo isn't on the original Incubus track

I love this song so much on so many levels because i absolutely loved that song from incubus dig and how he flip it with that ill flow

this track still gives me hope

joe if you are reading this in 2017. this song is perfect and hopefully u bring more if this type if song. lyrics are deep and the beat is so on god level

Terrell Owens

alll the best artist got the worst personal problems anybody agrees ?

"With my treason came a cause that I believed in , is it really wrong if somebody's got a reason" food for thought

2017 halfway house still rings truth till this day! Real mother fucking hip-hop. #JERSEYSHIT#RealHipHop#KNOWTHAT!!

Definitely dope as fuck

Makes it that much better that a very select group of people really understand the power of these songs..Joey never disappoints..legendary 2017 goin strong

amen to that brother!

So true!!

What are some more songs like this? Joe budden or anyone

Damn right!!!!!

2019 we still here

Yo who was that in the guitar ?🔥🔥

J.Artistry its the song dig by incubus one of my favorite bands

"The BEST RAPPER in The WORLD WIDE WEB... Take Off The "WIDE WEB, and Still Applies"... **sighs** I Love This Dude... #BestRapperEver #JoeBudden

Dope Shit !!!!!

I remember watching a video of Terrell Owens highlights with this track in it was my favorite video

I think people hit the dislike button just to dislike shit.

ya they are shitttt!!!

this was straight fire

word up

you know it's classic when 7-8 years later people are not only bumping it but talking about it. Joe is one of the greatest ever.

Lets clarify the beat/smaple for you musically sheltered people.

Incubus- Dig

omg i love how he added incubus in the background and used their beat man. a total different type of song. (90's alturnative) combined. that is amazing and so open minded of him. man hr is skillful and uses resources better than anyone. (like the rHCP bit in there too.) damnnn 🔥🔥🔥💞💞💞💞

Dope track i could play this allday long 👏😎

#salutegang

im a straight up down south country rap tunes type nigga but this MF here does touea nerve, like talkin bout it fam...big up to joe for this bishh...

im still in that mood...salute

music gets no better!

+moodmuzik True!

Why sample an incubus song. Write your own damn music.

because it sounds fucking awesome. thats why.

+Patrick Hunt yeah it sounded great before Joe Blow robbed it then crapped all over it. I mean rapped over it.

+lakaisk8r52 if you dont like it, dont listen. Both sound great imo. Its okay to be biased but at least try to have an open mind.

It's a sample you fucking idiot

Edward fuck you

SOMETHING WON'T LET ME SLOW DOWN I CAN'T EXPLAIN FATE!

I listened to this song today while hittin the weights and really opened up an introspective avenue for me....I cant remember the last time could actually say that about a rapper in this era...Good deal, Joey Buddenito....

yeahhhhhhh

SMH...this song is crucial fam. Its truly a anthem for those lost.

you know we had to add the lyrics from KAP&EVIL we see much in this world, but never act. we need to change that.

Younger self only sees the smaller PICTURE, so I got older and became familiar with the SCRIPTURES, not the ones written on walls but the ones written across TIME. So Naïve I was; so pardon me for only thinking GRIND, only thinking money, I was so BLIND, but how often do the older dudes point out the obvious not until its too late and you lost more than your MIND. Thankfully the Lord stood by PATIENTLY cause nobody gets taught what they know now, He understood my COMPLACENCY. So I dusted the past and made new GOALS, He let me GATHER, reunite my SOUL and let me MATTER. Yes, people I'm smarter now, the lessons' been LEARNED, no more before, all the concentration is on the AFTER. I'm all LAUGHTER cause the effect made it BURN. So now I'm the MASTER, teaching my disciples how to last LONGER, how to overcome slow and become FASTER and STRONGER. Let me extend my hand and help you climb this LADDER, let me help you be known to this world, and rid yourself of this RAPTURE. I'm gonna reach and breach through your walls and preach to help you see you also MATTER.

Damm this track is my shit joe budden always killing these beats lyrically real talk he is a beast

"Tell god I'm better then the sh*t I show". Powerful

@zero41 "another... Dig me up from under what-- is coveringgggg.. The better part of meeee"

That guitar solo goes HAM

never realized joe was this deep .. big up bro .. the rap world isnt worthy of you right now , dig these words .. plus i feel you dude .. keep on truckin nigga

@hugo windsor-carnegie a lot of people sleep on joey, all his work is amazing

@thebest12700 hopefully  he wont dumb down his work ,  hope he remain s true to his art.. shits dope though no doubt, real social commentary

+hugo windsor-carnegie he dumbed it down 13 or so years ago when he signed to def jam and tried to get radio play at least he's getting respect now in this YouTube age

the deepest rapper off all time and one of the best song writers

incubusssss

@Gold49ersFan
Incubus

When I say Joey the best - Niggaz look @ me like I'm stupid smh

Mashala April man I agree with you they think I'm retarded

Mashala April man I agree with you they think I'm retarded

LORD PAiN MUSIC

LORD PAiN MUSIC me too bro. Fuck'em. They need to open their ears

only true hip hop heads understand Joe is one the best ever. since Tupac nobody makes music that touch like Joe

"Part of me was gruesome, I ain't change.. I grew some"... Simple line but strong meaning

"And if I did change I welcomed that shit to come"💯

Soooo fucking hard.

wow i love this so much more because he sampled Incubus and referenced the red hot chili peppers also! Joe you are my favorite rapper ! I love the guitar solos!

This song is hard

my ipod touch reset and now I cant find this song anywhere on iTunes or anywhere other than youtube..

Use a youtube converter. or a program i use called mp3rocket its free. been using it for a few years now.  just downloaded this song using it, you type the artist and or song and it loads a list(mainly all from youtube)to pick from and you can preview the song before downloading it. And if the song isn't listed their it has a built in youtube converter. :)

follow me on instagram @shygod03 joe the truth

I love Joe Budden like for real, for real, and for mad years, love everything about him and I'm born and raised in Jersey and still rep Jersey but I hate to even say this but I will... EVER SINCE he been on that corny ass show Love and Hip-Hop, I seriously have been cringing when I see him on there.  Just seeing the way he act on there, corny as hell.  I'm just tired of all the Tahiry bullcrap, and all the other antics.  Like how that show gonna turn one of the greatest rappers of our time into such a dickbag on tv?  I refuse to watch that show bc I can't afford to lose anymore respect for Joey because he's too nasty on the mic and I seriously see him perform at least once a year and I was getting to the point where I didn't even want to fuks with him like that anymore, LOL. 

+GracieJean Kelly That hollywood crap is just that....Mouse is the most underrated lyricist of all time. I am from NC and currently am in DC. My best friend is from Jersey. I used to get so pissed when I would go to Jersey and see the amount of people from there hating on him. I guess only the people who can relate really listen to him.

thats messed up joey has help me through hard times this dude something else

GracieJean Kelly don't let that Hollywood television ish discourage u from supporting real hip hop and the real mouse... This boy a beast in the booth nef

GracieJean Kelly act?? that's jus how real that nigga is he dnt care he makes more songs cry then ne1 else ..

buddens gotten me threw detoxing so many fucing times man , you make being sober sound fun, id kick dope and just listen to you for two weeks straight man.....thanx Joeyyy

@Kelly Krazee are you still clean?

@KC CHIEF yes I'm actually clean still, I'm on medical marijuana and cbd oil because after about 3 years clean I could no longer take the friggin anxiety, sleep problems, PTSD triggers so I started medical marijuana and then just recently I started cbd oil.. but I have aYouTube, ig/fb now as Kelly krazee and talk about a lot of shit but sometimes recovery, recovery humor, and just life in general. I never would have been able to do that if I was still on opiates. The road to recovery isnt easy and I just went to my brothers funeral and a close friend funeral in the past 6 months so it's still killing people daily... tomorrow is not promised yall so life your life the best way you can and please if anyone ever needs help, advice, someone to talk to, hit me up. I became a recovery coach, mental health counselor and peer specialist so lol this is my life now..

@Kelly Krazee that's really cool. Congratulations. On your new life.

@KC CHIEF thanks ❤

Never heard this song till now. And I purchased halfway house. Lol. Some times I feel punished for getting music the legal way. Good song

I never knew this song was the bonus track from halfway house...that's kind of fucked up..

"If I turn into another, dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me"
It's a sample of the chorus from the song 'Dig' by Incubus.

I love this song. I just wish the chorus was recorded better. Got no clue wtf it says.

they tried to change him to fit a mold,,glad he was that rage against the machine....

sub me im human

Why we us real Joe Budden fans be upset with him on Shady?

INCUBUS: Light Grenades - Dig.
