Ordinary Joe (WCH)

[Verse 1] I'm hollow to the core, yeah my bones are empty No marrow, no mass, but heart I got plenty Though no blood flows through these veins, somethin' is in me Linda, Jimmy, Deloris, Jerry and Uncle Ricky My whole family tree 'bout as normal as me Everybody got they own story of what's supposed to be And what could've been, what should've been Should've been led on to the fact that I'm destined to never win How come every record I'm on ends up in the 99 cent bin? Pick it up if you need something to wipe while you're shittin' Can't pipe down, boy, rappers need rippin' I'll never be like Mike or even Scottie Pippen Goofy A&R tell me the elements are missin' Chippin' in his two cents, listen, nothin' is smitten Sittin' on leavin' more Brisk than Lipton Nipped in the bud, how come your bomb record was a dud? [Hook] I should reap what I sow My life is just so ordinary I'm a ordinary joe On the contrary this a new all-time low This is a new all-time low I should reap what I sow, my life is just so ordinary I'm a ordinary joe On the contrary this a new all-time low On second thought I get another chance tomorrow [Verse 2] This plastic life that we fed intravenously The tubes that we watch religiously Not real, nothin' is, nothin' begins without an end This is big business but back to the test again Justice will fail us we must look from within This is the truth, I got the blueprints right here in the booth Is you in? Then jump in, the deadpool is now accepting applications For the nameless and faceless The has-beens and the almost famous Fucked in our anus without a reach-around Reach way down until you found that dark somethin' hidin' out Smoke from my lungs and flush from my liver 'Til it slivers out my mouth hole I remember how life was before my downfall Before these wars closed in Soaked in sweat A.K.A. Hard work'll get you nowhere, don't forget [Hook] [Verse 3] Smidgeons and digits and acres of paper Negotiations and crunchin' numbers, contracts A new savior has attached to this beat like a serial rapist The girls with short skirts and high heels on they feet You'll never defeat me, I'm a centipede You cut off an end of me but I only grow back stronger There's no remedy Honestly, I never drank hennessy, I can't afford it I only drank forties, lordy lordy No fuckin' bitches'll court me, distort the image of the world But more importantly, there's more to me than meets the eye I cordially invite you into the mind of a ordinary joe with an ordinary name Livin' in a ordinary house never see things like fame, or money, bitches and champaigne Your cause are lame, beats are weak and your raps sound the same Ain't a god damned game, stop sayin' it is I break my ribs tryin' to fill in these ad-libs Mad kids can't see with closed eye lids Still, half these MC's don't know who I is [Hook] [Outro] A working class hero's nothin' to be Trust me, don't do it, I watched my old man go through it And my whole family live with no respect, we give it Are you here to pay homage are you here to bear witness? Working class hero's nothin' to be Trust me, don't do it, I watched my old man go through it And my whole family live with no respect, we give it Are you here to pay homage are you here to bear witness?
