[J. Cole, Omen - The Badness lyrics]
Yeah, keep following me keep calling me
Yeah yeah
Yeah ay
Believe in God like the sun up in the sky
Science can tell us how
But it can't tell us why
I seen a baby cry then
Seconds later she laughs
The beauty of life, the pain never lasts
The rain always pass
The sun don’t always shine (yeah)
When it's gone I'm lonely
But when it's there I'm fine
I hate the wintertime because
The nights come quicker
The light make them whites think
I'm a nice young nigga
But at night they think twice
And walk a little faster
It's funny, hunnid-years-ago I'd've
Called this nigga, master
How the tables turn but still
The fire burning huh
I feel the heat the world is a dryer turning
Turning
Im looking for some higher learning, learning
Girl you what I desire, yearning, yearning
You say I'm easily distracted
I think the problem is I'm
Easily attracted by the darkside
The temptation got me questioning
Where my heart lies
I'm tryna separate myself like apartheid
But ay the liquor keep swallowing
I swear I walk with God
But the devil keep following
I say the devil keep following, following
I say the devil keep following, following
I say the devil keep following, following
Uh feel like I'm riding on a chartered
Plane of broken hearted pain
Turbulence is constant my pilot
Has gone insane
If I can find a parachute to parasail
Maybe these parasites of
Paranoia won't prevail
Character dope as hell
But where is my parallel sweetheart
Deep thoughts lost in my brain
So I sleep hard nights with no progress
Mane I'm thinking like I'll probably
Find a Loch Ness
In the projects before I find this
Object of my love, this object of my heart
Guitar strings have strum in
Search of my counterpart
Bound to start drinking or smoking
Sink in this ocean
Leaping through the badness hoping
I'm reaching for closeness
Feel like the devil keep following me
Feel like the devil keep following me, uh
Yeah yeah
Yeah ay
Believe in God like the sun up in the sky
Science can tell us how
But it can't tell us why
I seen a baby cry then
Seconds later she laughs
The beauty of life, the pain never lasts
The rain always pass
The sun don’t always shine (yeah)
When it's gone I'm lonely
But when it's there I'm fine
I hate the wintertime because
The nights come quicker
The light make them whites think
I'm a nice young nigga
But at night they think twice
And walk a little faster
It's funny, hunnid-years-ago I'd've
Called this nigga, master
How the tables turn but still
The fire burning huh
I feel the heat the world is a dryer turning
Turning
Im looking for some higher learning, learning
Girl you what I desire, yearning, yearning
You say I'm easily distracted
I think the problem is I'm
Easily attracted by the darkside
The temptation got me questioning
Where my heart lies
I'm tryna separate myself like apartheid
But ay the liquor keep swallowing
I swear I walk with God
But the devil keep following
I say the devil keep following, following
I say the devil keep following, following
I say the devil keep following, following
Uh feel like I'm riding on a chartered
