January 28th |
| Rap tune |
| Can I make a million dollars off a rap tune? |
| Can I make a million dollars off a rap tune? |
| I’m tryna make a million dollars off a rap tune |
| Yeah, look |
| The real is back, the ville is back |
| Flow bananas, here, peel this back |
| And what you’ll find is, your highness |
| Can paint a picture that is vivid enough to cure blindness |
| Carolina’s finest, you knew that already |
| In terms of the greatest, I proved that already |
| And if you would like, I do it twice |
| I just sharpen my blade, for a minute became lost in my ways |
| This for my niggas that was tossed in the graves |
| Every so often I fade deep in my thoughts |
| And then get lost in the days |
| We used to play before your coffin was made |
| Just got the call nigga got caught with a stray |
| Hope he’s okay |
| Just got paid what Cochran got paid to free OJ |
| Just to share my life on the stage in front of strangers |
| Who know a nigga far too well, and that’s the danger |
| Know me better than I know myself |
| I rip a page out my notebook in anger |
| And let these thoughts linger, singing |
| Don’t give 'em too much you (Don't give 'em too much you) |
| Don’t let 'em take control (Don't let 'em take control) |
| It’s one thing you do (It's one thing you do) |
| Don’t let 'em taint your soul (Don't let 'em taint your soul) |
| If you believe in God (If you believe in God) |
| One thing’s for sure (One thing’s for sure) |
| If you ain’t aim too high (If you ain’t aim too high) |
| Then you aim too low (Then you aim too low) |
| What’s the price for a black man life? |
| I check the toe tag, not one zero in sight |
| I turn the TV on, not one hero in sight |
| Unless he dribble or he fiddle with mics |
| Look out the window 'cause tonight the city lit up with lights |
| Cameras and action |
| May no man alive come through and damage my faction |
| I brought you niggas with me 'cause I love you like my brothers |
| And your mothers' like my mother |
| Think we need a plan of action |
| The bigger we get the more likely egos collide, it’s just physics |
| Please let’s put our egos aside, you my niggas |
| And should our worst tendencies turn us into enemies |
| I hope that we remember these |
| Nights full of Hennessy |
| When Hov around we switch up to that D’usse |
| Gotta show respect, one day we tryna stay where you stay |
| 'Cause we from where you from |
| Not talkin' bout the slums |
| I’m talkin' 'bout that mind state that keep a black nigga dumb |
| Keep a black nigga dyin' by a black nigga gun |
| And keep on listening to the frontin' ass rap niggas son |
| Yeah I said 'son' |
| This is New York’s finest |
| For 11 winters straight I took on New York’s climate |
| Like show me New York’s ladder |
| I climb it and set the bar so high that you gotta get Obama to force the air |
| force to find it |
| Never mind it, you’ll never reach that |
| Cole is the hypnotist, control the game whenever he snap |
| That’s every track, nigga |
| Don’t give 'em too much you (Don't give 'em too much you) |
| Don’t let 'em take control (Don't let 'em take control) |
| It’s one thing you do (It's one thing you do) |
| Don’t let 'em taint your soul (Don't let 'em taint your soul) |
| If you believe in God (If you believe in God) |
| One thing’s for sure (One thing’s for sure) |
| If you ain’t aim too high (If you ain’t aim too high) |
| Then you aim too low (Then you aim too low) |
| I ain’t serve no pies, I ain’t slang no dope |
| I don’t bring no lies, niggas sang my quotes |
| I don’t play no games, boy I ain’t no joke |
| Like the great Rakim, when I make my notes |
| You niggas might be L or you might be Kane |
| Or you might be Slick Rick with 19 chains |
| Or you might be Drizzy Drake or Kendrick Lamar |
| But check your birth date nigga, you ain’t the god |
| Nah you ain’t the god |
| Nigga, Cole the god (Cole the god, Cole the god) |

| Make a million dollars off a rap tune |
| Can I make a million dollars off a rap tune? |
| (*sound of baby laughing*) |
| I’m tryna make a million dollars off a rap tune |
| I wanna make a million dollars off a rap tune |
| I’m gonna make a million dollars off a rap tune |
