Stuck In The Moment

[Intro - Joe Budden - talking] (*echo*) How's everybody feeling out there? Y'all good? I wanna thank everybody for coming out Sharing this moment with a nigga It means more to me than it can to anybody else Trust me (talk to 'em) [Verse 1 - Joe Budden] Check it, When the night falls and the smoke clears Millions of miles away, yet they so near (uh) I remember memories, so I'm never lead astray When tomorrow comes I know it's only due to yesterday Without a boundary (uh), check my latitude New attitude, see I'm grateful for having gratitude I'm not complacent (but), but got no regrets Few hating niggas wanna see me regress Deep breath, life is too short for me to be stressed Interpret ice grilling as their way of saying he's blessed You wanna hate, I got my own show, be my guest Remember doctors used to tell me I was depressed At the time was dating a model with double D chest I thought, 'til she laughed that shit off and said these's F's Before I bought my first gun, was already armed Teach you about couth, little bit of class, heavy charm Used to give my last, for a nice chain, heavy charm High school dropout but went to every prom (talk to 'em) Now everyone I went to high school with Now they thirty years plus still on some high school shit (talk to 'em) Seems like all the fly niggas and bitches that was well off (now they) Is junk head high niggas, all the bitches fell off From surgery, rapping for niggas that never heard of me (uh) Burglaries, dapping up niggas that want to murder me (uh) If you close minded, I call that an emergency Blind fold yourself as if there's nothing more to further see (ta ha) Honestly that's absurd to me If the sky is the limit, then where's the urgency? (me?) I embrace life (ta ha), I'm so carefree But I won't judge y'all, if you don't care to be (uh) Just know no matter who you are (what?) The right system (it'll), turn a role player to a superstar (oh!) I'm talking rock bottom, a whole 'nother tier Stuck in the moment made me move through a whole 'nother year How'd I become straight forward? No baggage, y'all can run from the past, I'm a make my way towards it Like (ta ha), nigga I remember stage fright Back when I ain't know if I could rock the stage right Who knew I'd end up being the nicest? My point, hard to come up short when shit is priceless (ta ha, uh) Hard to come up short when shit is priceless (oh!) [Hook � Emanny] - w/ Joe Budden ad libs I can't explain it, I just gotta embrace it That something got me feeling this way, yeah Instead of running, I'm waiting here for it Cause nothing ever been this great I'm stuck in the moment Stuck in the moment, the moment Stuck in the moment, the moment I'm stuck in the moment Stuck in the moment, the moment Stuck in the moment, the moment I'm stuck in the moment [Verse 2 - Joe Budden] I say this with all certainty, people wanting the worst for me Got to wait in a long line, it's not a first for me Most of my defects have been put in my past If you only see what I have, then you overlooking my path If you knew about my hardships and the bloodshed It'll speak for itself (trust me) and that's enough said I carry heavy weight, who wanna try and bear it? Hope to lessen it daily, if you wonder why I share it Being stuck in that moment never appealed to me You ain't live my life, so you can't imagine how real it be I'm talking about the long haul Put me on a high pedestal (then you), better be prepared to watch a long fall (So) So the trampoline I adore Got so much to say to the people I ignore Dog, some moments you rather forget because they scare you I lock onto them shits like a pit, they just prepare you Photographic memory of deja-vu The way I do, whatever I say I do Nigga built Ford Tough, show facades what talent is (you could) Get a different V, you ain't got to Dodge Challenges (oh!) Emotional Roller-coaster, Vivian Green Every event led to living a dream (or), or do I live in a dream? Where there's no such thing as a crisis My point, can't come up short when shit is priceless (oh!) [Hook] [Break - Emanny] I've been through the struggle, been through the hustle But never did it bring me down I don't know where I'm going But all I know is, I'm stuck in the moment Maybe I've been, here before But I don't see no need to change it Don't know what life has in store But I'm prepared to embrace it [Hook] - w/ ad libs
