[Joe Budden]
What if the hunger was missin? What if the passion was gone?
If we're truthfully speakin never saw it lastin this long
If the words didn't rhyme, what would I do for a livin?
But I've been dead for so long I figure I'm due for some livin
They only see the effects, never pay no mind to the cause
My thinkin is so complex, simplicity can get lost
What if everybody was real and I wasn't surrounded by frauds?
The moral in that is so priceless just cause I know what it costs
Lookin back, damn near every problem I had it, never got 'em retracted
I combat it, problematic, every problem of an addict
But that's just the way the cards fell
Heartfelt but can you be cheated if God dealt?
Fuck this shit, only regret that I have, is ever bein regretful
I mean they all tried to kill me, none of 'em were successful
A few I knew for some years, some never met me and tried
But you can't kill nothin that's ready to die
Fuck this shit, c'mon

[Chorus: Joe Budden] + (Emanny)
They say I'm in my own way, own way and that's fine
I'm just livin my own way, own way like I can't die
(They can't remove my heart, my soul might take its toll)
(The air I breathe and the ground below)
But no way, no way, let 'em all try
(That's how it feels to be immortal, immortal)
(That's how it feels to be immortal, immortal)
(That's how it feels to be immortal...)

[Joe Budden]
Uhh (uhh)
And now I'm feelin like Steven when he was up in that hospital
Nigga shot him nine times, they got him thinkin illogical
Crippled, feelin immortal, he cheated death, he unstoppable
He just want that revenge, nigga feel like dying's impossible
They want me to regress like I ain't been through the worst
Instead of me bein blessed they want me pinned in that dirt
If you knew me in the past you would think my winnin's deserved
They never noticed my path and all the sins I did first
Both my parents did drugs, see they put them syringes to work
And I carry that same exact gene but I never mention I'm cursed
Those prescriptions were murder, I blame it all on that nurse
She started my relapse way back, I developed a thing for them Perc's
Fuck this shit, only regret that I have, is ever bein regretful
Them fuckin pills tried to kill me, none of 'em were successful
I close my hands on my knees, send these words to the sky
Man you can't kill nothin that's ready to die
Fuck this shit, c'mon

[Chorus] w/ ad libs

[Joe Budden]
Uhh...
See I'm so self-destructive, hurt anyone that come near
Done it my whole career, was always one of her fears
Hurt her so much in the past, I'm supposed to be healin her
But she love me so much, she say that it's only killin her
Now she say she can't watch it, pill poppin, it's toxic
Promised her I would stop it, just go hide when I pop it
It's a shame we can never be the same, wasn't prideful
How could I tell you I'm nowhere near finished bein suicidal?
Baby that wasn't me, just some nigga that smelt like me
Fuck like you stuck by some nigga that felt like me
You watched me lose weight, you just waited there helplessly
You just offerin help to me, I just dissed the shit selfishly
When you left I condemned you, really I should commend you
Not for havin that in you, but for havin the strength to
I make amends to you now, you shouldn't have seen me that high
I killed you when you wasn't ready to die
Fuck this shit, c'mon

[Chorus] w/ ad libs

[Outro: Emanny]
Ayy, that's how it feels to be immortal
That's how it feels to be, immortal
Immortal, nooo ooooh
