Joe Budden - Thou Shall Not Fall

I’m on a war path, tell the opposition
Now keep it to yaself, I’m my only competition
Keep the hate comin', I love the criticism
But understand I’m successful by my own admission
I never had !! but a bad !!
Naw, let me stop lying, mostly they was average (OH!)
People said my voice would be heard by the ma#ses
Dusthead nicca from Jerz, I wounldn't of graphed it
Questions, you can ask it, teamed up with The Klasix
Workin' on a cla#sic, smash hit, then that's it
Maybe niccas thought my knees gon' buckle
Newport in my mouth with two G's on the buckle
Got more now than them few G’s when I hustled
Spanish broad with them two D’s like I love you (BUT!)
But se#y lady it was nice to know you, gotta move on
They can't strip my armor, a nicca too strong
I think niccas is shady but the proof's gone
I put the jewels on cause fools thought it gone
Now move on

I tried to told dudes way back in in '02
That eventually the game would go back to being soul food (OH!)
I mean soulful while everything is woeful
I try to stay fresh like Whole Foods on the Pro Tools (OH!)
And Mistah F-A-B wanna mention him (dawg)
_____ fell the !! off, I wont mention him (nicca!)
Only respect one Fab and I’m friends with him
Phonte backed out, I guess niccas pumped sense in him
They went and pumped slugs in my little brother
But dawg, I still love Little Brother
This other guy I ain't’ know who's dude got glued to YouTube
Hit Jin asked him if he digested his food smooth (oh!)
How you beef with Joey
Did his without this to say he ain't sure how to fear, Heathcliff ain't scared of the Hogie
Nerve of the young !!, Yosemite Sam is getting gun ho
nicca bank account got one O
He could snort lines with d*ck and won’t!!dope
They stringing you along, don’t take it and try to jump rope (nicca!)
Dawg, this how you know you shouldn't feel glory
'Cause I ain't even show and end up being the story
I’m sorry

I need it to be know I’m grown, I’m on some next !!
Thinking oil money Texas, not a necklace (OH!)
Gotta shoot at mom dukes before the Tec spit
I don’t go out lookin for drama like the Feds did
Music with a message but I’m no backpacker (backpacker)
Some vengefulness in me but I’m no backst@bber
Known baller in the strip club, I'm throwin cash at her (YO!)
I’m trying to help shorte and goals attach faster
Was insecure growing up, niccas laughed at her
Now she think she got some self-worth because her[..] fatter
I told her give ya self the ... (SO!)
Next time, they chain you up you can break through those
nicca call you out ya name, mami, break dude nose
Gotta getchu where you goin', might take you slow
Maybe bend but never let 'em make you fold
Accept ya shortcomings, baby, they gonna make you whole
I’m gone

Dusthead nicca from Jerz, I wounldn't of graphed it

Correction:
I wouldn't* have grasped* it.

They can't strip my armor, a nicca too strong

Correction:
They can't shake* my armor.

That's about it
