[J. Cole - NBA Playoff Promo lyrics]
There's gold at stake for Golden State
How much weight can King's shoulders take
When the odds ain't great some fold and break
While greats let the dreams
Of a ring motivate
Boys become men when postseasons begin
These lights shine brighter baby
Sink or you swim to those who got here by
The skin of they teeth
The formula's the same now: win and repeat
Never sleep on a man that's expected to lose
With a chip on his shoulder
And something to prove
The bottom's full of Wolves and
They thirsty for blood
The mission is to catch
Somebody slipping above
"But numbers don't lie
" I've heard 'em say it at times
"Cream rises to the top
" is a favorite of mine
And the cream of this crop
You'll admit is impressive
But to quote the boy Hov
"Gotta finish your breakfast"
And watch for the quiet ones
They bringin' the storm
Even with a man down, "The show must go on"
No time for crying, better pick up the slack
Cause ain't no guarantee that you
Gon' ever be back
How much weight can King's shoulders take
When the odds ain't great some fold and break
While greats let the dreams
Of a ring motivate
Boys become men when postseasons begin
These lights shine brighter baby
Sink or you swim to those who got here by
The skin of they teeth
The formula's the same now: win and repeat
Never sleep on a man that's expected to lose
With a chip on his shoulder
And something to prove
The bottom's full of Wolves and
They thirsty for blood
The mission is to catch
Somebody slipping above
"But numbers don't lie
" I've heard 'em say it at times
"Cream rises to the top
" is a favorite of mine
And the cream of this crop
You'll admit is impressive
But to quote the boy Hov
"Gotta finish your breakfast"
And watch for the quiet ones
They bringin' the storm
Even with a man down, "The show must go on"
No time for crying, better pick up the slack
Cause ain't no guarantee that you
Gon' ever be back
