[Verse 1: J. Cole]
And could I be a star,
Does fame in this game have to change who you are?
Could I be the same one who came from a far away life,
Just to make it in this broadway lights,
Now shining in the broad day light, go figure,
A slow transition from a lil broke nigga from the Ville,
Got a deal a real life saver,
Dreams of being behind the Will like Jada,
I chill now, cop a lil ice later, Cole you go the glow like a lil lightsaber,
So clap for him, then applaud Hov, he gave him the platform
Flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for him,
No sir,
The flows cold as a shoulder of a gold digging hoes when a broke nigga approaches,
Told ya I'm focused man, I'll let you motherf*ckers soak it in,
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Dear Lord, what am I here for?
Is it the girls or the money or is there more?
I know the world about to come to a endin
So before it does let me finish all my sinnin
I see the devil grinning, as if he winning
This is the bottom of the 9th inning
I'm coming back like light skinnin
What a sad sight looking at my gas light
Damn man I just threw ten in
Look 5 dollars won't get you what it used to
And look love don't mean what it used to
And everybody and their momma on youtube
Is it just me or is this unusual?
Don't want to lose you
Just want to reach ya'll
So let me slow down, to the beat ya'll
Put the remote down, move your feet ya'll
One time for the boys holdin heat ya'll
Keep that tucked before somebody get hurt
See me I'd rather cut catch a body give birth
Now if you was the last man walking on earth
Turn this up, clap your hands like this was church
