Partially functional, half of me is comfortable The other half is close to the cliff like Mrs Huxtable These boys got them hoslters and clips they pack like lunchables Like white boys in grade school While we ate school made food just Eyeing they shit, wish I was trying they shit Knowing when mama hit the store she wasn’t buying that shit No I ain't crying a bit man Thats just life thats how that shit work You reach your hand in fire, you pull it back when you get burnt Gotta learn when you get hurt Even if its with cupid He beat you and you went back She's officially stupid Oh yeah I understand thats your man You had a plan You been together for some years You sticking with him for the kids So you overlook the tears but we both know thats a bad look Cause 20 years from now your daughter will probably get her ass whooped If this too deep for the intro I’ll find another use But just in case its perfect let me introduce Cole, cole, cole
[Hook] Time to save the world Where in the world is all the time? So many things I still don't know So many times I've changed my mind Guess I was born to make mistakes But I ain't scared to take the weight So when I stumble off the path I know my heart will guide me back
[Verse 2: J. Cole] If this too deep for the intro I’ll find another use But just in case its perfect let me introduce It’s Cole, I had a dream and so I made a move A ill ass nigga who just so happened to stay in school Still rap for hustlers and muthaf-ckers that hated school Said thats for busters that heard my shit and I made it cool This ain't to say that I’m gifted as if I’m Christmas shopping I got gangsta niggas lining up in admissions office And possibly cause all the hoes a nigga scraped A lot of shit up on my plate so you know a nigga late to my first class I’d much rather sit up in first class Should I admit that a slutty bitch was my first smash Wasn't experienced, so nah I didn't wear it out Always thought my first time would be someone I cared about But being a virgin was something to be embarrassed 'bout I used that ass for practice so I wasn't scared out my mind You call it rhymes I call it clearing out my mind Was just a young boy starin out my blinds Till I got free from my momma leash Running loose through the streets Like a stray dog in heat And we looking for some freaks can you play Pardon me, whats your name, don’t mistake me for no lame No not me She knew I was on the team cause she seen how tall I’d be In the club dappin’ niggas, eventually R-I-P Damn, you win some, you lose some That just how its happens And if a nigga step up to ya, then you gotta scrap em Your name is all you got, throwing hands by the bathroom Its funny I barely told nobody I started rapping Cause see some niggas was haters that I just viewed as clowns At 14 I knew I was the nicest dude around I gotta make a move, I gotta do this now If they don’t know your dreams, then they can't shoot em down
[Outro] Ha. Yeah nigga. Hell Yeah! I felt that one in my fuckin soul
