Intro (Joe Budden) Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Okay
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
The time has finally come, beautiful people
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Cheah
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
I've been singing this tune
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
For entirely too long now
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Prolly like, eight, nine years, something like that
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
But I'm here, only to present to you your album
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Featuring myself
I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Joe Budden, hi haters

[Verse]
The time is finally near, it's getting closer I'm finally scared
Scratch that, the album's out, y'all, it's finally here
I repeat myself for the haters, y'all, I'm finally here
Every street corner, jail cell, finally cheer
'Cause it was y'all that voted me, y'all that noticed me
It was y'all that said I should've been signed to Def Poetry (Uh)
It was y'all that said yes, shout to Floetry
Mama raised me proper, the streets just molded me
The streets coded me, made me a better pedigree
Now things are complicated like Avril Lavigne said it be
But I took some time out to get my shit straight
And present to you, Jump Off's seventy-minute mixtape (Uh)
This here's for real, this here's the official (Dawg)
This here's not a "Best Of," this is the best of
How can I say this? It's sorta like
Hov', 'Pac, B.I.G. blended with Bill Withers and Miles Davis
(Let's) Let's add Al Green, folks, I miscalculated
Now it's Ludacris time, "Move, get out my way, bitch!"
I'm a rapper's rapper (Uh), the kid can do this
To you ignorant ma'fuckers, don't misconstrue this
Everything's reversed now, I live in the Matrix
So how can I stay anonymous, when it's my job to be famous? (Talk to 'em)
A lot of y'all can't interpret when I'm speakin' that language
But some better understand, to the rest, it's better you can't
Now, when you speak of the elite, I feel honored if mentioned
Because the goal is On Top, never honorable mention
If Joe's purpose is due, here it is, it's no further anew
Enough said with no further ado
[Outro]
Cheah (I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin')

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
