| Uh, yeah
|
| I said it won’t be long (no)
|
| ‘fore we out here baby
|
| Gotta get you up out here baby
|
| Said it won’t be long
|
| ‘fore we out here baby
|
| We up out here baby
|
| I say a prayer and look up in the sky
|
| Thank God even though a nigga headed to this tired day job
|
| Will my eyes stay wide still I know I’m gonna blow
|
| This is music for my niggas cause I know you want more
|
| Cause that old shit fake but this new shit real
|
| J. Cole not Jay but this that Blueprint feel
|
| Hey Cole is you crazy that’s some big boots to fill
|
| Yeah straight out the Ville and the shoes fit well
|
| Seen heaven, seen hell, seen niggas get killed
|
| Knew every detail still never would tell
|
| Scared of the repercussion, scared of them people bussin'
|
| Bullets be hittin' nigga’s you swear they could be percussion
|
| Niggas be holding triggers before they could read instructions
|
| Oh God, never did our fathers teach us nothing
|
| No law, but became a man on my own
|
| Showed my momma I could stand on my own
|
| Dear mama, your son hurting
|
| Living in this cold World where niggas shun virgins
|
| And praise hoes
|
| As days go by shawty 19 years old
|
| No clothes for her baby yet she stay so fly
|
| Tell me why mamma do you cry
|
| Is it cause you know my teacher be feeding me lies
|
| Is it cause you know that Preacher is greedy inside
|
| Cause racism is alive I see the disguise
|
| Mamma I know it hurts
|
| It hurts me to watch you go to work barely hanging on
|
| Some rich man getting richer while you slaving for him
|
| So whats the options for him
|
| A young nigga from the hood without a pops at home
|
| Surrounded by no good
|
| And soon no good becomes so good quick
|
| A little drug money got him feeling so hood rich
|
| Killing your hood with the same shit Ronald Reagon filled up your hood with
|
| And it’s still in your hood shit
|
| I’m feeling no good mamma
|
| I’m sick of my soul
|
| Is there a better life for us I just sit and I hope
|
| I just hope and I pray
|
| It’ll change one day I’ll make a change one way
|
| And mamma I can fly you out this cold world
|
| This cold life, it’s all wrong
|
| There’s no right
|
| Its hard to see the good when there’s no light
|
| Just grab onto me, trust me hold tight! |
