[Verse 1] I'm a fool, hundred thousand for the jewels Last year we killed the game and left y'all browsing for the clues Old niggas out here searching for that fountain of the youth Money talks and hoes say it's an arousing point of view Don't make me act a fool like Malcolm before the suit How could you justify, I testified up in this booth And then, throughout the years, spilled tears and shed truth Somehow they love a nigga better when he talk about his loot Chain like a kaleidoscope, see life through a wider scope Therefore, I know this necklace really represents a noose Still I hit the jeweler how much racks to make me cooler Just play the game homie, I ain't make the rules up Started from the bottom same way you lace your shoes up So if I'm blowing cake, just blame it on the place I grew up Where niggas had nothing but dreams and television Got no plans of seeing hell or prision You can tell I'm living, right? Never said I'm living right
[Bridge: Cee-Lo sample] I'm a fool Such a fool For you
[Hook: Cole] And they like Boy you a fool Boy you a fool Boy you a fool And they like And they like And they like Boy you a fool Boy you a fool And they like And they like
[Verse 2] I'm a fool, hundred thou to go to school So much debt me and my mama damn near drowning in a pool The first to go to college, they say knowledge is a tool But these hoes on campus make a young nigga drool So we party, skip class, get ass and talk cool Meanwhile, she back home working hard, I use that as my fuel So I finally graduated but I'm sad to say it I ain't learn a fucking thing except the game and how to play it I'm a fool, no scuffs on my shoes No cuts, I don't bruise, so fuck y'all reviews She told me "Cole, I love you rode with you way before the riches But you way too educated to be calling women bitches And calling brothas niggas, pardon if I cross a line But all this time knew you was different than all them other niggas" I responded to her "please don't put me on a pedestal Cuz I know better and I'm still a fool"
