When I proposed to the game I figured life was merry
Five years later I'm feelin' like Tyler Perry

from Joe Budden – All Of Me Lyrics on Rap Genius

Also, if life was merry (or married, as one could possibly hear it), Joe went for the next best thing: the rap game. Couldn’t propose to life…propose to rap.

Leading to the next line in which he now feels like Tyler Perry, alluding to his movie “WHY DID I GET MARRIED”—he’s thinkin from hindsight, why did he even pursue rap in the first place (rap is that metaphoric marriage)
