[Dreamville, J. Cole - Heavens EP lyrics]
(I'm working on dying)
Yeah, yeah (And like that)
(Gotta have a space) yeah
(Gotta have a space, it's been a pleasure)
Know what I mean?
(She belong to the streets)
Freedom, know what I mean? (We gone)
Uh (Space to get this shit off, Gangsta Grillz)
Yeah
Yeah (Get this shit off my mind, off my chest)
Yeah (Know what I mean?) yeah
With every record, i be asking the masses to
Tune your hearts to me
I represent intelligent niggas that
Grew up harshly but lately I've been
Questioning, second guessing
Whether or not I've got something to
Offer since I done eluded poverty
Or has the money watered me down
That truth is hard for me
Like the second time I got
Cut from the junior varsity
Fightin' back tears
I promised to switch gears
And said to myself "Whatever you do
You won't do it partially"
From this day forward
I move with a new ferocity
Ferrari coupe velocity
A fail-proof philosophy
Success is in the effort
So if a nigga tried his hardest
I'm at peace knowing God ain't deal it
In this group of cards for me
Some people say that I'm running third
They threw the bronze at me
Behind Drake and Dot, yeah
Them niggas is superstars to me
Maybe deep down, I'm afraid of my luminosity
So when you see me on red carpets
I'm movin' awkwardly
Posin' all nervous, afraid of the judgement
And the thought of showin' too much
Of my day is repugnant
I be keepin' my kids away from
The gaze of the public 'Cause these days
It feel like hate is they favorite subject
Fuck it
Attitude like a young O'Shea with a AK
Aimed at your brain, violate, and I bust it
I don't play when it come to family
That's one thing I refuse
Pimpin' they kids out for views or
Just to be in the news could never be me
I piss in the celebrity tea
God with me on this record
This is Heaven's EP the tale's official, the
Best nigga breathing
It just failed to hit you
You couldn't tell 'cause you fell
For the bells and whistles
And that's an area I don't excel
I'm from the 'Ville where young
Girls talk grown as hell
That's raw, never saw one person go to Yale
But every nigga that I know done gone to jail
At least once
Provin' we the ones police hunt
For the pains
We smoke three blunts the size of tree trunks
Too much hunger
It's no wonder these niggas can't keep up
So saying "Yes" to a feature just
Means I'm 'bout to eat lunch, bitch
I'm goin' for it, no never shall he punt
I'm the one and you can be sure
Speaking of beachfront
I'm kickin' my feet up while I
Write this in somewhere tropical
Supposed to be relaxin', this
Passion makes that impossible, mm
(Gangsta) supposed to be relaxin'
This passion makes that impossible
Follow the leaders
Another Gangsta Grillz classic
Like I never left dJ Drama
Dreamville d-Day
Gangsta Grillz
Yeah, yeah (And like that)
