Hook:
|
Started from the ground
|
Building to the sky now
|
Watch it fall down
|
How you gon' survive now?
|
Yeah, it's cold blood in a nigga
|
The streets left no love in a nigga
|
|
No love in a nigga
|
|
[Yo Gotti:]
|
f I could paint a picture
|
I would show the image of a thug henny
|
Yeah, run away nigga
|
Popping pain killers
|
Praying for a call, four dogs with them pistols
|
Natural born killers
|
We sold crack to his mother, he turn his back on his brothers
|
Killed his partner for the plug
|
He think everything a hustle
|
Cold motherfucker
|
Oh no, I'm black hearted
|
No feelings, just a gun
|
We done raved in the kitchens
|
Not to mention all the holes in his pistols
|
So homies think the whole world against him
|
Play ball, coach best him, grandpa
|
Playing extra, he raised in Mississippi but he moved out to Memphis
|
Kill a heart with doubt
|
So homie touch and she grab
|
This a C trail rap, come fight that slap
|
Shutdown, do crap, this town back out, damn
|

[J. Cole:]
|
Here's a voice for the voiceless
|
My words like multiple choice to the choiceless
|
Emerge like a search light in the darkness
|
For this young, black carcass
|
My niggas either join the Armed Forces, or they corpses now
|
In God we trust But it's bucks that we worship, now
|
Boy that root of evil gon' forever rule the people
|
See, I seen just what that fast money gon' come and do to people
|
Hit a lick, it was a hit
|
He said, 'Let's go and do the sequel'
|
But his, nigga wasn't 'bout it, nigga wasn't 'bout it, now
|
Feeling guilty, "What would Momma think about me?"
|
Told' em, think about it nigga, won't you think about it now?
|
But he was money hungry
|
Plus he trigger happy
|
So they hopped up in the Caddy
|
Burnt his pack, just like a Stevian
|
Thirty minutes later, blood is leaking at the ATM
|
Momma in denial, like her baby boy on trial
|
For a murder that he ain't commit
|
Tears soak the handkerchief
|
|

J. Cole - Outro:
|
They say the good die young, that's the truth
|
My nigga floating up in heaven now, that's the proof
|
I ain't make it to the funeral, but homie rest in peace
|
If this world get too cold, I hope one day you rescue me
|
Nigga maybe we can fly someday
|
Oh we can fly someday
|
Yeah up in the sky someday
|
Do real niggas get to heaven?
|
