[00:00.379][Intro: Jay-Z]

[00:01.110]There's a ***** right now somewhere

[00:02.495]He at the table with a bowl of Apple Jacks

[00:06.413]And he's reading the back of the cereal

[00:08.372]And in between eating the Apple Jacks he's writing some ****

[00:12.865]And he wants my spot

[00:15.060]I'mma find him though, I'mma sign him..

[00:19.135]I don't want no problems

[00:20.023][Verse 1: J. Cole]

[00:42.122]Like we always do at this time, Cole blowin' your mind

[00:46.067]Hey dummy, this no accident, all of this was designed

[00:49.019]Took my time, crept from behind

[00:51.735]And I opened up your blinds, rise and shine, Cole World

[00:55.471]Same ***** used to drive around with yo girl

[00:58.005]In my mama's Civic, now I'm out here tryna get it

[01:00.486]I ain't like you lame ass ******, boy I spit it how I live it

[01:03.308]So when you see me in the streets, man I ain't gotta mimic

[01:06.442]'Cause I ain't got an image to uphold, this real ****

[01:09.342]I ain't got a gimmick, I just flow, the ****** went nuts for

[01:12.816]The boy that set fire to the booth

[01:14.932]In a game full of liars, it turns out that I'm the truth

[01:17.780]Some say that rap's alive, it turns out that I'm the proof

[01:20.731]'Cause the ones y'all thought would save the day can't even tie my boots

[01:23.788]The ones y'all thought could hang with me can't even tie my noose

[01:26.400]Let these words be my bullets, *****, I don't rhyme, I shoot, bang!

[01:29.456][Hook]

[01:31.886]Before I wake

[01:33.218]I pray to the Lord, my soul to take

[01:40.193][Verse 2]

[01:40.611]Lord I been dreamin' bout the paper, get rich 'fore I see my life taper

[01:43.771]Hope my mama get to see Jamaica before she meet her maker

[01:46.932]I hoop was never good enough to ever be a Laker

[01:49.649]But these words I record got me ballin', Jordan

[01:52.575]More than a rapper this a natural disaster

[01:55.187]Boy, I'm meaner than Katrina mixed with Gina, "Shut up, Cole!"

[01:58.609]This is for my ****** back home, homes, what up, bo?

[02:01.482]This is for the ******* that played me, what up, ho?

[02:04.304]Nah I ain't mad, it's sad, you went from bad to real bad

[02:07.752]Two kids that don't even know their real dad

[02:10.103]Real sad, baby girl I wish you still had it

[02:12.637]Then maybe you could get a taste of livin' Villematic

[02:15.693]Is Cole still at it? Y'all be talkin' about the same ****

[02:18.593]That's how I feel about it, mama was a real addict

[02:21.309]That's why I don't respect that lyin' ass white **** you talkin'

[02:24.444]Cole's planning funerals, you might fit the coffin

[02:26.926][Hook]

[02:29.460]Before I wake

[02:30.818]I pray to the Lord, my soul to take

[02:38.054][Verse 3]

[02:39.099]Get on your job lil mane, this ain't Saturday

[02:42.390]We in two different lanes, you can't navigate

[02:45.264]We in two different games, you playin' patty cake

[02:48.294]Brother you're lame, you're Shane Battier

[02:50.749]You out of shape, my mind run a mile a minute

[02:53.701]The sky's the limit, I'm so high, I'm divin' in it

[02:56.731]My rides is tinted, my knob's gettin' slobbed up in it

[02:59.448]She hollerin' God, man you would've thought that God was in it

[03:02.740]But it's just a ***** God invented

[03:04.620]The best out, foolish pride'll make you not admit it

[03:07.520]But if this **** ain't fire *****, why you noddin' with it?

[03:10.472]The hate in your blood can't stop your soul from vibin' with it

[03:13.371]Now you all conflicted cause my flows is wicked

[03:16.611]And my hoes is thicker and all of yours is pickin' me

[03:18.909]Cause they know a star when they see a star, *****

[03:22.279]Ain't even got to **** him to know he a raw *****

[03:25.153]I got her in my bedroom, but cheer up, *****

[03:27.974]You saved so many hoes, you a hero, *****!

[03:31.239]Medal of honor, I'm feelin' on top like Pac

[03:34.139]When he slept with Madonna, hey, this is death before dishonor

[03:37.430]Get arrested and forget to tell my mama

[03:39.442]She got enough to stress about, my ****** gonna get me out

[03:42.628]Then we hit the club with the thugs and the liquors

[03:45.293]No criminal record but I'm makin' criminal records

[03:48.349]Isn't it ironic? Isn't it iconic?

[03:51.301]Jacket so expensive you wouldn't even try on it

[03:54.305]But it fit me perfect, I purchase it if I want it

[03:56.944]The city on my shoulder, so no girl, you can't cry on it

[03:59.843]When you make a list of the greatest aye, am I on it?

[04:02.691]Maybe not yet but ***** I got the clock set

[04:05.277]It goes tick-tock, game on lock

[04:08.411]Son gon' shine but the reign won't stop, oh no

[04:11.781][Outro]

[04:23.797]If I should die before I wake

[04:26.593]I pray to the Lord my soul to take

[04:29.414]My soul to take, my soul to take
