[Intro]
Don't matter where you're from
Raps
Raps
Sitting in the corner writing raps
More raps
Just gotta keep it coming
Hold on
Let me [sing?]
[Verse]
Fuck your self-worth
Fuck is heaven?
I'll go to hell first
And lately I've been looking, I ain't really sure if hell's worse
What if the real demon's disguised?
And all you thought, it was lies
On the cross, would I be nailed first?
And God ain't ever asked you a favor [?]
Jesus but don't call him by his actual name
[?] was a revolutionary enslaved for trying to break the ways of the weak-minded
I know your mind can't see it but can you see mine then?
I'm moving forwards at a [?] and you're behind it
Looking for a vision of something I can believe
With all signs looking ahead like a fucking widow's peak
I've been blowing some trees, swimming in every beat
On the chopping block but you'll never get ahead of me
Enemies evil but you'll never see the end of me
Crazy if you think you're ever gonna better me
So take a step in my home
Bored kids, scumbags, attention hoes being scared of our lives of something we've rarely known
But I look at all the appreciation that we never show
It seems you never gonna know what a hoe means
Till you're out on the streets kicking dirt with your feet
A crooked system we live in when someone kill for the water you shit in
Most wells so why they upper percentages
Yeah, the snakes in the trees, watch em hang
Theives take, watch yourself lose weight like Jenny Craig
Just a kid tryna dodge in suburbia
Look around at everybody and they all look plagued
It's all the same
Fuck that
[Sample: Capitalism is Modern Slavery - J Cole]
“And that’s what capitalism teaches us. It’s a every-man-for-himself mentality. It’s a I gotta be on top….For me to be on top, I gotta have a bottom. For me to own any company, any business… Capitalism is like… its just paid slavery. It’s the same set up as slavery, only difference was slaves wasn’t getting paid, but it’s the same setup. I own this plantation. You’re at the bottom. I got some managers right here that oversee the field and get paid a little more than you, but it’s not that much better off than you. They feel better because their on top of you. But it's like you ain't that guy. That guy is milking everybody.”
Angie: “Well, who is that guy?”
J. Cole: “I don’t know. It’s only a few of those guys in the world.”
Angie: “Yeah, yeah. A few of those.”
J. Cole: “Those guys. But I don’t know who they are and I don't know if... you know.. but I know that-thats not.. to me, that's not a system that does it anymore because it’s selfish and nobody cares about nobody."
