[J. Cole, Bas - Cousins lyrics]
They putting prices on heads, silver or lead
I pray the scores settle 'fore
The devil notice you dead
Got me smoking the potent, my
Eyes open and Otis, they red
Thoughts of my eye roam and words
That I hoped I had said
That aunty sippin on, we missin ya
Even tho you gone
Your thought alone can lift us up this is us
Got some niggas never call me
'less they need something
But, I pick up, like, "whassup
What you need cousin?"
My niggas know that I love 'em
Give 'em roses while they can smell 'em
'Cause ain't no tellin' who'll
Be here tomorrow
Used to borrow your digital scale
Flippin' them sales
But now it's digital dash while
You're still in the past
Boy, trust me when I tell you
The picture got much bigger
The swishers and dutch fill up
Bitches in lust with us
Momma would dissapprove, losing my way
Lost in the sauce
This bolognese is so amazing
Had a talk and she remark: "you so engaging"
Running game, it's all the same
I'm growing jaded
Had a couple things in common
Like Lonnie Lynn
But, I'm too faded for conversatin'
I'm sittin' here contemplatin' how to win
Time keeps slipping away (how to win) , away
Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
Time keeps slipping away, away
Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
Yeah cousin in jail again
Asking me for bail again
Close when I was 12
But I was much frailer then
He was like 16, a nigga from the gutter and
Years ago his favorite uncle had
Married my mother and here we are
Runnin' through the Ville like
Dumb and dumber and
For that summer man I swear I
Wish you was my brother then
Well time passed and we fell off
'cause you moved back home
Little did you know Jermaine done
Grew a new backbone
Niggas thought he wouldn't make it
'till he proved that wrong
12 years later on the radio
That "Who Dat" song
Your homeboy bumps the Warm
Up now you buggin'
'Cause you looking at the cover and
You say "Yo that's my cousin"
And niggas looking at you like
You lying but you wasn't
Next thing I know you blowing up
My line all a sudden
And I'm showing love saying "yo
Look what I did
Man, nobody coming from here ever
Did this shit this big"
But now you saying "Man enough about you
Shit what about me, my nigga what about me?
Oh you forgot about me?
Same niggas showed you how to rap
Now you don't know how to act
Boy, I'm at the bottom you could
Pull a nigga out of that put me in a video
Yo put me on your hottest track
Bring me on the road with you
You know 'cuz got yo back
And I'm strapped up if them niggas act up
See you headed to the top you
Need to let me catch up
Please let me catch up
Won't you let me catch up man?"
I'll see you when I see you
Harsh as it seems to say
I wouldn't want to be you
Bail you out for your daughter
And I pray to God
A nigga never pull your card or she
Won't ever get to see you
Time keeps slipping away, away
Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
Time keeps slipping away, away
Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
I pray the scores settle 'fore
The devil notice you dead
Got me smoking the potent, my
Eyes open and Otis, they red
Thoughts of my eye roam and words

That aunty sippin on, we missin ya
