All of y'all niggas shoot at the opps and run from the cops
And I don't get it, I ain't suggesting
You fire your weapon at twelve, but hell
Why in the fuck do we feel the niggas
Looking like us that deserve to be killed?
Meanwhile, Capitol Hill been making it
Easy for them to go stuff us in cells
I ain't no preacher for real, I just like to
Cut on the mic and start letting it spill
And I been leaving a trail, you play all
My albums and find you a letter revealed
This a suicide note, come here, look what I wrote
I'm 'bout to kill myself, J. Cole, I don't even want this role
Wanna rebuild myself, tuck my pole under the driver's seat
Nigga, don't try to reach, I'll bust a hole right in your frontal lobe
That's a lobotomy, two months ago, I was on Bus Road
Nigga spotted me, said, "What's up, Cole? I love you, bro"
He said he proud of me, that touched my soul
Wasn't too long ago that I was over here at Sandy First Middle
Had my very first little girlfriend
That would let me get a feel or two
Back then it was considerable, enough to avoid the ridicule
But come another year or two
Boy, you better be fucking on something
My mama ain't never even give me no rubbers
Papa was gone, how to put Trojan on was something I had to discover
All on my own, y'all know the song
I probably been singing this shit for too long
Pardon me if I been sounding like some broken
Record, I come from the brokest of homes
I come from the brokest of homes
It's seven o'clock on the dot, I'm in my drop top
Cruising the streets that I grew up in
I didn't think the same back then
Saying, "Oh, how we changed, man," fuck, that's when
The pistols go pop, bodies drop, they got the block blocked
It's the police, we ain't seen nothing
I just roll up my weed, then get to puffing
And lay back in my seat, oh yes, I'm numb again
Oh, there, there, there
Finding you lose when you choose to neglect
The roots that we grew to protect us, oh
The sun has been blinding lately, mmm
One day you find when your light's out
You always were a bright star to me
Even the times the world didn't say so
One in the morning
If the walls where you are talked, would they fess up?
I'm scared of the tales they'll tell us
Much better if I ignore
Steady, will you be around when I'm ready?
I'd rather you go and be happy
But I don't wanna leave you alone, oh
Yeah, I'm steady, but love might be gone when you're ready
I should move on and be happy
But I don't wanna leave you alone, oh
Love is a mountain climb for you
Thought you were lying, I could pull you
Scared I wouldn't grasp for long, but my hold is strong for you
How many ways must I profess?
Gunshot to your head, die for me
Hey, how can I let you go?
Have mercy, it's broken
I'm handcuffed, I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed, I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed, I'm roped in
Have mercy, it's broken
I'm handcuffed, I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed, I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed, I'm roped in
