Not Now I'm Busy lyrics - Joyner Lucas (feat. Nefertitti Avani)

[Joyner Lucas:]

Don't tell me that shit didn't record, man

Man, lets try this again

My name is Joyner Lucas

I'm from Worcester, Massachusetts

And, uh

By this time you get this video, it might be too late

I did something really, really bad, man

I killed somebody tonight, yeah

I did

And I don't know if I shoulda did it, but

I felt like it was necessary, nah mean?

The person who I killed was the old me (The old me)

Yeah, see

I realized that everything I ever thought I knew about myself was wrong

And I realized that I had to sacrifice who I was

For who I wanna become (Wanna become)

And I when I say, "Not now, I'm busy"

That means I was too busy to face myself (Face myself)

And too busy to face the truth

And the truth is (Truth is)

The old me got tooken advantage of

The old me got fucked over

The old me got beat down

The old me got shit on and spitted on and lied to

And even though I tried to forgive

And force myself to live with the hurt that I hide behind a smile

While the water overflows as I hold my breath

And block my nose in hopes that I do not drown

And in that moment, I realized that I was lost and couldn't be found

And I needed to heal, I just didn't know how

So I grabbed that gun and did what had to be done

'Cause I couldn't hide, I couldn't run

I just had to die and every drop of blood

Was for every tear that I ever bottled up, now it's a flood

So fuck who you thought I was, you piece of shit

The old me says please forgive, but new me says eat a dick

The old me was supposed to give, the new me don't owe you shit

The old me just don't exist, so fuck you, you—

[Nefertitti Avani:]

I don't need emotions, I need endorphins

(Keep it down, keep it down, shh) Oh, woah

Don't know the pain, that it come with the game

Don't know the sun gon' come after the rain

You been turnin' nothin' into something

(Keep it down, keep it down, shh)

Ain't fuckin' helpful, to be real with ya

All I hear is interruptions

Baby, not now (Oh)

Pipe down (Oh)

Baby, not now (Now, now)

Pipe down (Not now, I'm busy)

Baby, not now (Oh)

Pipe down (Oh)

Baby, not now (Now, now)

Pipe down (Not now, I'm busy)
