Songtext zu 'Off 2 The Races' von Joe Budden

And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
You are my one true love, you are my one true love

Let her know I’m here if she ever need me to be with her
As long as she know I can never be with her
She asks you why, I just need you to keep it G with her
Tell her I found the happiness that I could never see with her
3 Years after that break up, should’ve had closure by now
We’d be best friends, you’d have let this end we’d be closer by now
What you want is upset, hostile, angry, evil, jealous, bitter shit
Fuck makin your bed and lying in it, you bought that house, live with it
I came to you for a second chance, you gave me your ass to kiss
Found another salad to toss, how the fuck is you mad at this?
Oh, I forgot, you not in love anymore
And I’d believe it, but see I’m not on drugs anymore
That’s based on action, words I stopped believing still I hear it though
Would you save them if you knew they became meaningless to me years ago?
But if happiness is the finish line, I beat you there
So karma must be real cause since we broke up he ain’t treat you fair

Remember our break up? I rapped about it on Downfall
But you know I don’t stay down for long
Remember you met that other dude, he’s smarter and more mature
With more bread that you’d thought would be around for long
Remember you pulled the rug from under me, left me to be alone
I threatened suicide, bang, was crazy about you
But that stalker dude was still right to the point you waste that for this name
And when we speak now you still say I’m crazy without you, my
My, how the tables have turned
Or are they bending just a little, you resent it just a little
Cause dude that ruined your life made you doubt yours
It’s the reason that loneliness you gave me is now yours, check it
Your perspective I can’t even call it hatin
You mad at the situation, really it ain’t even Kaylin
We both sympathized, that pain is felt and shared
To watch a man that you helped better display it elsewhere
Watch a man you spent years with, grew with
Come across to someone that you want nothing to do with
To sleep in a bed with "what ifs?" instead of something special
How can you get over us? The public won’t even let you
I know to wake up with that fear is gross
Love me from far cause you scared to get close
But what are you fearing the most?
If happiness is the finish line I beat you there
I always thought that when you’d put the baggage down I’d meet you there

Uh, let’s bring up the speed a lil bit
Now a nigga balling, you still tell me to grow some
Entertaining threesomes, you don’t think that it’s wholesome
Say that you can’t trust me, think I’m out here trashing you
Got a lot of answers to questions I don’t be asking you
I tried to be friends so I don’t see a problem passing through
You welcome a nigga to pain, it is me harassing you
You must be misconstruing my love and it’s gassing you
Causing you to wear our shit out, and think it's fashionable
I'm thinking you should put our history in back of you
That would call for you stepping outside of yourself and being rational
Come to friendship, you question me in that capacity
How would you ever know it’s not something you ever asked of me
And VH1 just gave us another episode
So maybe it’s smart that you can’t let this go
Cause love changes, a thug changes
And soul mates become strangers, word up
