[00:00.000] 作曲 : J. Cole
[00:00.000]It ain't nothing I want more
[00:04.760]Ain't nothing I want more
[00:06.576]Like I told you when I first came I said, "I ain't come here to waste my time"
[00:11.334]I came here
[00:12.495]They gave us chance to get in, like we asked for
[00:14.662]And that's what we here to do
[00:16.661]Yeah, nigga, 26, straight up
[00:18.708]Job still ain't done
[00:19.762]But I, I said, "You-You know what I'm here for"
[00:20.775]Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutch insanity
[00:22.561]I got more cribs than habitat for humanity
[00:25.388]Shit profound, we propagatin' more profanity
[00:27.564]Paid off collections from recollections of calamity (Oh shit, look, that nigg gonna shoot)
[00:29.960]This shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (Oh shit)
[00:32.488]'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me (Run nigga, run)
[00:35.378]Told 'em to come off this chain for tryna floss
[00:37.859]Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
[00:40.388]When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)
[00:42.743]Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handin' me
[00:45.548]I busted the trees, it was barely stronger than the squeeze
[00:47.939]Bullets travel through leaves, it probably killin' someone randomly
[00:50.418]Ran in the crib and played it off, it was the family
[00:52.950]Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me
[00:55.595]Woke up screamin', seein' a demon had his hand on me
[00:58.290]Still sport the scar on my arm the way he branded me
[01:00.937]Like a two-door, my niggas burnin' with the mute off
[01:03.545]Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact
[01:05.939]Trigger and a paranoid mindset, now I'm back
[01:08.467]Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity
[01:11.194]Now that I'm rich, I feel nobody understandin' me
[01:13.713]All I can do is cut the mic on, holla at you
[01:16.102]Can't let the fame scare me off from speakin' candidly
[01:18.846]All them niggas is so cane they started singin' like deadly
[01:21.681]Now I'm left here, paid like I planned to be damned
[01:24.273]A lot of times, those situations are, um, handled way before the time comes
[01:31.463]In the summer when I think you truly prepare yourself, and
[01:34.464]With training and conditioning, things like that
[01:37.211]When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
[01:41.608]You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in
[01:45.086]Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
[01:47.839]You know, it always come to light
