(Verse 1: Bas)
|
They putting prices on heads, silver or lead
|
I pray the scores settle 'fore the devil notice you dead
|
Got me smoking the potent, my eyes open and Otis, they red
|
Thoughts of my eye roam and words that I hoped I had said
|
That aunty sippin on, we missin ya
|
Even tho you gone, your thought alone can lift us up
|
This is us
|
Got some niggas that never call me unless they need something,
|
But I pick up, like, "whassup, what you need cousin?"
|
My niggas know that I love 'em
|
Give 'em roses while they can smell 'em
|
Cause ain't no tellin' who'll be here tomorrow
|
Used to borrow your digital scale
|
Flippin' them sales
|
But now it's digital dash while you're still in the past
|
Boy, trust me when I tell you, the picture got much bigger
|
The swishers and dutch fill up
|
Bitches in lust with us
|
Momma would dissapprove, losing my way
|
Lost in the sauce, this bolognese is so amazing
|
Had a talk and she remark: "you so engaging"
|
Running game, it's all the same
|
I'm growing jaded
|
Had a couple things in common, like Lonnie Lynn
|
But I'm too faded for conversatin'
|
I'm sittin' here contemplatin' how to win
|
|
(Hook x2: J Cole)
|
Time keeps slipping away, away
|
Another day another love song, hey
|
Another day another love song, hey
|
|
(Verse 2: J Cole)
|
Yeah
|
Cousin in jail again, asking me for bail again
|
Close when I was 12, but I was much frailer then
|
He was like 16, a nigga from the gutter and
|
Years ago his favorite uncle had married my mother and
|
Here we are, runnin' through the Ville like dumb and dumber and
|
For that summer man I swear I wish you was my brother then
|
Well time passed and we fell off cause you moved back home
|
Little did you know Jermaine done grew a new back bone
|
Niggas thought he wouldn't make it 'till he proved that wrong
|
12 years later on the radio that Who Dat song
|
Your homeboy bumps the Warm Up now you buggin'
|
Cause you looking at the cover and you say "Yo that's my cousin"
|
And niggas looking at you like you lying but you wasn't
|
Next thing I know you blowing up my line all a sudden
|
And I'm showing love saying "yo look what I did,
|
Man, nobody coming from here ever did this shit this big"
|
But now you saying "Man enough about you,
|
Shit what about me, my nigga what about me?
|
Oh you forgot about me?"
|
Same niggas showed you how to rap, now you don't know how to act
|
Boy I'm at the bottom you could pull a nigga out of that
|
Put me in a video, yo put me on your hottest track
|
Bring me on the road with you, you know 'cuz got yo back
|
And I'm strapped up if them niggas act up
|
See you headed to the top you need to let me catch up
|
Please let me catch up
|
Won't you let me catch up man"
|
"I'll see you when I see you
|
Harsh as it seems to say, I wouldn't want to be you
|
Bail you out for your daughter and I pray to God
|
A nigga never pull your card or she won't ever get to see you"
|
