No Love Lost Lyrics - No Love Lost - Joe Budden

Mic check, mic check 1-2 1-2 

Made a lot of mishaps, lot of mistakes, lot of missteps 

Grown shit though, is when you can recognize that 

And I recognize that, and real recognize that 

Talk to 'em 

Last word, check it, unbeatable force, insurmountable object 

Bull should've known better than counting me out, I'm from the projects 

So if I ever do it for greed, indeed something is wrong 

Prepare for the future, remember I used to get heat from the oven on 

They wanted to see Budden gone, fiend'd out on sour 

But nobody helped put Budden on, had to bring my own power so 

I'm having a private party, that only myself attends 

And if the DJ plays the song to my soul, it'll give itself a cleanse 

They telling me all the pain I ever felt was self-infringed 

But I had help from friends, one even held the syringe 

Architect of my own path, I'd like to think it's designed the best 

Defied the odds, I never aged while giving time a test 

No niggas on house arrest, I'm on a minor rest 

You trying to call me or text me, don't even bother, I'm trying to give mine a rest 

I got a treasure but its content is invisible 

Was filled before with shit that I thought I treasured, but made me miserable 

My affairs together, here forever, yeah I'm back to work 

Learned in order to lose love, probably gotta have it first 

My life's a crap shoot, my dice are loaded, ain't no stopping me 

Most interesting man, a hard place is between a rock and me 

I'm torn within, and my eyes are heavy 

I'm born again, just means I died already 

Means I survived already, so fuck they want with me? 

World been against me so long, misery hates my company 

Isolated my whole life, not many know who Joseph is 

In order to reciprocate love, you gotta notice it 

Gotta recognize it, gotta feel it first 

Gotta be let inside it, feel its hurt and then kneel to its worst 

If you contain it, don't hide it, gotta reveal it first 

And when you think you hit rock bottom, gotta feel it worse 

Or, my rule book is just dated 

And for you to truly appreciate it, you gotta at least be hated 

Mama I made it, if anyone know my way was hard 

They prayed for my downfall on deaf ears, I was praying to God 

So God, I loved love till it resented me 

And if it's still a stranger, then I love who it pretends to be 

No love lost 

No love found 

They found a little bit though 

I don't know where they found it out, but it was there 

So I guess the moral of the story, 

Is as you mature, so will it 

Just gotta find it 

One
