Joe Budden - Immortal Lyrics






What if the hunger was missin'? What if the passion was gone?
If we're truthfully speakin', never saw it lastin' this long
If the words didn't rhyme, what would I do for a livin'?
But I've been dead for so long, I figure I'm due for some livin'
They only see the effects, never pay no mind to the cause
My thinking is so complex, implicit, he can get lost
What if everybody was real and I wasn't surrounded by frauds?
The moral in that is so priceless just cause I know what it costs
Lookin' back, damn near every problem, I had it
Never got 'em retracted
I combat it, problematic, every problem of an addict
But that's just the way the cards fell
Heartfelt but can you be cheated if God dealt?
Fuck this shit, only regret that I have is never bein' regretful
I mean they all tried to kill me, none of them were successful
A few I knew for some years, some never met me and tried
But you can't kill nothin' that's ready to die

[Hook - Joe Budden & Emanny:]
They say I live my own way, own way, and that's fine
I'm just livin' my own way, own way, like I can't die
They can't remove my heart, my soul might take it's toll
The air I breathe and the ground below
But no way, no way, let 'em all try
That's how it feels to be immortal
Immortal
That's how it feels to be immortal
Immortal
That's how it feels to be immortal

And now I'm feelin' like Steven when he was up in that hospital
Nigga shot him nine times, they got him thinkin' illogical
Crippled, feelin' immortal, he cheated death, he unstoppable
He just want that revenge, nigga, feel like dying's impossible
They want me to regress like I ain't been through the worst
Instead of me bein' blessed, they want me pinned in that dirt
If you knew me in the past you would think my winning's deserved
They never noticed my path and all the sins I did first
Both my parents did drugs, see they put them syringes to work
And I carry that same exact gene, but I never mention I'm cursed
Those prescriptions were murder, I blame it all on that nurse
She started my relapse way back, I developed a thing for them percs
Fuck this shit, only regret that I have is ever bein' regretful
Them fuckin' pills tried to kill me, none of them were successful
I close my hands on my knees, send these words to the sky
You can't kill nothin' that's ready to die, fuck this shit

[Hook - Joe Budden & Emanny:]
Say I live my own way, own way, and that's fine
I'm just livin' my own way, own way, like I can't die
They can't remove my heart, my soul might take it's toll
The air I breathe and the ground below
But no way, no way, let 'em all try
That's how it feels to be immortal
Immortal
That's how it feels to be immortal
Immortal
That's how it feels to be immortal

See I'm so self destructive, hurt anyone that come near
Done it my whole career, was always one of her fears
Hurt her so much in the past, I'm supposed to be healin' her
But she love me so much, she say that it's only killin' her
Now she say she can't watch it, pill poppin', it's toxic
Promised her I would stop it, just go hide when I pop it
It's a shame we can never be the same, wasn't prideful
How can I tell you I'm nowhere near finished from bein' suicidal?
Baby that wasn't me, just some nigga that smelled like me
Fuck like you stuck by some nigga that felt like me
You watched me lose weight, you just waited there helplessly
You just offerin' help to me, I just dissed the shit selfishly
When you left, I condemned you, really I should commend you
Not for havin' that in you, but for havin' the strength to
I make amends to you now, you shouldn't have seen me that high
I killed you when you wasn't ready to die

[Hook - Joe Budden & Emanny:]
Say I live my own way, own way, and that's fine
I'm just livin' my own way, own way, like I can't die
They can't remove my heart, my soul might take it's toll
The air I breathe and the ground below
But no way, no way, let 'em all try
That's how it feels to be immortal
Immortal
That's how it feels to be immortal
Immortal
That's how it feels to be immortal

  26. M.... A....

    Mannnn... thas what I been sayin since '03 when his self titled album came out. Idgaf if you felt a way about his feature on Marques Houston's "Up In the Club!" If you was him and Marques Houston was hot then wit Kell's (Not Kells now🤣🤣🤣) production!...you would do it too! But he got mad skills on this ...whatever we call the mic now. If you take the time to hear him, he has punches like fab and what we call the greats but also has content like the greats! He has won every battle he's been in...well... some say the hollow battle was or wasnt lost...I digress...still in my top 10 !

  27. J.... P....

    Emenim would eat him alive!

  72. J.... B....

    best j B song I've heard from his last albums. the hook is craazzzy. funny enough I can actually see Em and Joe on this together. spitting that emotional talk.

  73. G.... M....

    Joe is one of a kind!!!...Straight lyrics!!!..miss him......

  74. D.... f....

    “You can’t kill something that’s nothing ready to die”

    D.... f....

    Diving for Depth Not and NOT “nothing!”😉🤫

  75. A.... R....

    a shittier version of drake

    A.... R....

    The guy who's style Drake took.

    A.... R....

    homer wisdom facts. These young dudes are idiots.

  76. X.... T....

    I can understand why he's scared of Eminem

    X.... T....

    @Xander T Ems the most vocal rapper? wtf are you talking about lmao i guess english isn't your first language. If Em has a problem he should be the 1 dropping a track, not 1 line. I wouldn't respond to 1 line either especially if i'm retired.

    X.... T....

    @homer wisdom he just doesn't want beef with em i can understand why Eminem is clearly the most lyrical rapper and you can't argue with Eminem stats

    X.... T....

    @Xander T yeah aite whitey

    X.... T....

    @homer wisdom I'm black 😂

    X.... T....

    @Xander T Well you need to read a book, because you're stupid

  77. P.... L....

    When he said you cant kill something that's ready to die I felt that shit. I never understood how people can laugh and or make fun of other people's pain... I love this song Joe is definitely in top 20💙

  78. T.... M....

    Well beat it

  79. J.... I....

    i took a chance and said "fuck it" i'll listen to some joe budden shit....... i don't regret it

  80. J.... P....

    Damn. This dude is good.

  81. M.... G....

    This deep af! Awesome beat, great hook and all around super dope lyrics, this is a certified Classic💯

  82. N.... ....

    Your garbage boi

  83. B.... ....

    Where was this Joe during his career, the lyrics, the hook, even the beat this song should be respected as one of the best in rap...... I slept on joe

    B.... ....

    Always was there

    B.... ....

    Always, always been there.

  84. C.... H....

    havn't heard this song before now, but its wreckin!

  85. S.... R....

    I got to admit I didn't know who Joe Budden was when he started his beef with Eminem. I'm a big hip-hop fans, as well as an Eminem fan. I heard Joe Budden say he's been better than Eminem this last decade, so I listened to this song. It's a good song, but is it better than Love The Way you lie? Legacy? Lucky You? Bad Guy? I need a doctor (Technically a Dre song but Eminem has more bars on it)? Guts over fear? The Monster? Not afraid? All great Eminem songs released in the last decade. So in what was has Joe been better than Eminem this entire decade? That's just insane talk.

    S.... R....

    Seb R. Bro listen to Whatever It Takes by Budden. Him and Eminem are a lot closer than people think especially when it comes to writing about their respective struggles.

    S.... R....

    @Arturo McDowell Writing is one part of being a great rapper. Budden might be a good songwriter but he's Ok as a rapper

    S.... R....

    He’s far better than a “ok” rapper. He has character flaws that people tend to look at more so than his rapping skills. His Mood Muzik series are amongst the best mixtapes and display of rapping skills. Listen to “Truth for Truth” or “3 Sides to a Story” or “Pump It Up Remix” or “Family Reunion” and you’ll see what I’m saying. He’s better than most fans’ fav rappers.

    S.... R....

    @Seb R. lmao you've obviously not listened to much rap music. Plus those Eminem songs are some of his worst.

    S.... R....

    Personally i'd say Joe's "all love lost" album is better than anything Em has put out in a long time, not to discredit Em because he is dope but I agree that joe has been better recently

  86. M.... G....

    'better than eminem' ahahhahaha

  87. l.... h....

    damn this hits hard joe!!

  88. S.... T....

    Imagine having your grans grave in joe budden's music video lmao

  89. j.... p....

    humm🤔 booooo👎 shit......

  90. H.... H....

    + I'm screaming 🗣️ U N D E R R A T E D !

  91. T.... E....

    That up and down voice shit in the verses is annoying. But it's a good song

  92. T.... E....

    This is super dope

  93. c.... i....

    Joe talk to merkulies man he's has the same style

  94. t.... ....

    Doo doo.
