[J.Cole] It ain’t hard to tell, I excel and prevail Young n-ggas rising hell but talk well Make sales, I managed to re-fake jail Blast on the road to success was unpaved land But here we are, breathing, f-ck demons Never get caught sleeping I’d rather be caught dreaming Now me and my n-ggas be flying across seas Laughing at the days we used to rack tall T’s Now we rock shows up in London, wondering? How they even heard of me Never did occur to me if I get to the top one day Lotta niggas gonna be sending shots my way Could’ve been the worst that I shot then say Across the bear hoes you never got complain Monday, through, Sunday is on One day you’re here, next day you’re gone
Wake up with the fear of living for another day Tell myself that there's nothing that I cant take Your strenght is the sickness I cant hide I tried to be invisible to him Make no noise tip toe through everything Hell's fury feeds the fear inside
It's like acid rain in a hurricane Might hear your call to bring me cover It's a crown of thorns living me torn Might hear your call to bring me cover
[beat break]
I made choice that I cannot live with I regret not choosing you over him Im suffocating in this life Dont know if I can survive this weather And your turned up with your arms and umbrella I send a farewell tonight
It's like acid rain in a hurricane Might hear your call to bring me cover It's a crown of thorns living me torn Might hear your call to bring me cover
[beat break]
[J.Cole] My life could be a movie dawg let me write the script It'd be something truly never read like a crypt Learn it with clothes full of hoes like a pimp Far from a flower but I rose like a blimp Now who we gonna cast for the roles in this flick Only bad hoes getting shows for the tricks Who gonna play the lead, though? Will Smith? Maybe Second thought, fuck it, ain’t nobody gonna play me Yo, some day is on, one day you’re here, next day you’re gone Some day is on, One day you’re here, next day you’re gone Some day is on, One day you’re here, next day you’re gone One day you’re here, next day you’re gone
And though the risk has come I know I cant run into your arms I know that you will come to save me from harm, from harm
It's like acid rain in a hurricane Might hear your call to bring me cover It's a crown of thorns living me torn Might hear your call to bring me cover, to bring me cover
