Exxxes
Joe Budden Lyrics

She be callin my name
The woman he's involved with is constantly seeking his attention and affection.

Screamin real loud, I would think she was in pain
She is sexually vocal, often screaming loudly during intercourse.

Niggas tried to tell me her head was insane
Other people have warned him of her unstable mental state.

Everything she'd do took a toll on my brain
Her actions and behavior have a negative impact on his mental health.

It seemed a little strange
Despite the red flags, he remains involved with her.

She don't got a name so for now let's call her ashley
He doesn't know her real name, so he gives her a temporary one.

Had her gym clothes on, seen her when she passed me
He first saw her while she was wearing workout clothes and passing by him.

Met her up at Exxon, her body was the nicest
They met at a gas station and he was immediately physically attracted to her.

Cursin up a storm, she complainin bout the prices
She was cursing and complaining about the cost of gas while they were at the station.

She just left Toronto, for Jerz bought a condo
She recently moved from Toronto to New Jersey and purchased a condominium.

Know everything about her but we ain't never had a convo
He knows a lot of personal information about her but they've never had a real conversation.

Pops wasn't around much, her mother raised her
Her father wasn't present during her upbringing and her mother raised her alone.

Got so much in common that I don't like to face her
He feels a strong connection to her and that scares him.

Her parents is dope heads, she dropped out of school too
Her parents are drug addicts and she also dropped out of school.

Got the same tat's as me, and I found that unusual
They have identical tattoos, which he thinks is strange.

Mad I smoke cigs said they bad for my own health
She disapproves of his smoking habits and tells him they're harmful to his health.

Said she'll never love me, cause I don't love my own self
She believes she can't love him because he doesn't love himself.

Gave me the ass the first night, and I gladly tossed it
They had sex the first night they met and he was happy about it.

The best part was I ain't have to ask for it
He didn't have to make any effort to initiate sex because she was willing.

Her period don't ever come in, when I dick her down
She never gets her period when they have sex.

She always runnin but she be callin my name
She frequently leaves him but still contacts him for attention.

She like to scream so the neighbors might hear her
She enjoys being vocal during sex and doesn't mind if others hear her.

For some reason liked it in front of the mirror
She enjoys having sex in front of a mirror, but he doesn't understand why.

She be makin strange requests and I ain't talkin bout just pullin her hair
She makes unusual sexual requests beyond just pulling her hair.

She be sayin choke me like I lost all respect
She asks him to choke her, which he finds concerning and disrespectful.

And every time I do a mark show up on my neck
He gets bruises on his neck after choking her during sex.

She say punch her, smack her, like I'm her attacker
She asks him to physically abuse her during sex, pretending he's an attacker.

I say you a fool, she say just do what I asked ya
He doesn't want to hurt her, but she insists on him fulfilling her requests.

I be goin slower till she tell me do it faster
He tries to go slow during sex, but she asks him to go faster.

Every time I'm out with her, niggas just harass her
When he's out with her, men frequently make unwelcome advances towards her.

I don't understand it, she's so unattractive
Despite her appearance, men are still hitting on her when they're together.

Shorty lookin terrible, plus she come with baggage

I tap it, though she below my average it deceives me
He has sex with her even though she's below his usual standards.

She be talkin marriage sayin she'll never leave me

I say imma bounce but I say I don't believe me
He thinks about leaving her but doesn't believe he'll actually do it.

She fucks me every time she sees me
She has sex with him every time they see each other.

I be wantin to strangle her, throw her off the balcony
He has violent thoughts towards her.

Dangle her, mangle her, how long have I carried this anger for
He has built up anger and resentment towards her.

How come when we argue, we gotta get physical
They resort to violence when they argue.

We crucial conflict, she end up in critical
Their physical fights have resulted in her getting seriously hurt.

Habitual, happens daily like its her ritual
Their physical altercations have become a regular occurrence.

But show your face bitch, stop bein invisible
He wants her to confront and take responsibility for her actions.

Is it just my mental, is she just a symbol
He questions his mental state and whether she's simply a manifestation of his issues.

There for me to look at everything that I resemble
He sees her as a reflection of himself and his personal issues.

Sometimes during sex I blurt another name
He calls out another woman's name during sex with her.

Do that mean I look at me and be ashamed
He feels guilty and ashamed for calling out another woman's name.

Of cheatin on me,
He worries that he's betraying himself by being with her.

Wit a hottie, wit a body who so happen to embody
The other woman embodies the physical traits he finds attractive.

Everything that I so happen to not be
He feels inferior to the other woman because she represents everything he lacks.

I be tryna leave her, but then I get leanient
He wants to end things with her, but he keeps giving her chances.

Since I'm in this room alone, she becomes convienient
He only goes back to her when he's feeling lonely or vulnerable.

Then we lie together, cry together, I swear I hope we die together
Despite everything, they still share intimate moments and he feels emotionally attached to her.

I finally grew the balls to tell shorty we should separate
He gets the courage to break things off with her.

Save your breath, nothin you can do to make me hesitate
He's determined to follow through with ending things and won't be swayed.

There's no room for me and you to grow

Don't love me, or leave me alone, do both did she

Apologize for anything that she did

Said without me, she can't think of no reason to live
She claims to be unable to live without him.

Said she'll miss gettin piped down
She will miss having sex with him.

Then she picks up a shank
She becomes violent and picks up a knife.

I had to tell the crazy bitch to put the knife down
He has to intervene to protect himself from her violent outburst.

Cryin, eyeshadow on her face, filthy
She is crying with makeup smudged on her face.

Feel me, if you kill you, its gonna kill me
He feels responsible for her well-being, even though it's damaging to him.

She said you neglect me

I said we the same so, whatever you do is gonna affect me

You know I can't let it be, naw

So if we gotta stay together just to co-exist, so it is

She said I love you, and hugged me, took her pants off, And proceeded to fuck me.
Despite their issues, they continue to have a physical relationship.
