[J. Cole - The Storm lyrics]
My man, Shawn, from around the way, son
Been down from day one
Never been known for mistakes but
Was bound to make one her name was Nina
See he was all about the cash flow
Til she came and had this man
Pussy whipped to the max yo
A true dime piece describin her, brown eyes
Caramel skin, thick thighs
Goes beyond speech
But besides looks her mind's lost
Known for kickin cats to the curb
Leaving their hearts on the sidewalk
Shawn was one of them
She said she was lovin him
But only fucked him because he
Had some funds comin in
He couldn't see it though
She was cheating and he didn't even know
He even bought a crib with this schemin ho
In the ride, mad jewels, mad clothes
Mad shoes and to show his commitment he
Got her name tattooed
I gotta hand it to her
She had the stuff planned out
But watch what happened when her luck ran out
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
You up now but you'll get yours some how
Some day in some way, shape, or form
Revenge is coming no way to escape the storm
Time passes
Shawn is thinking about wedding rings
But he knows the signs of cheating
And doesn't wanna believe them
He disregards them
Goes out for diamond ring shopping
Now the big question is when
Is he gonna pop it
Waiting for the right time
Meanwhile Nina's the same ho
Like a snare drum but bangs way more
For Shawn up to this point shit's going well
Til one day his homeboy hit him on his cell
Like "Yo son you won't believe this
I just seen your chick" ("Where?")
"In the mall with this cat
He was palming her ass
I swear to God son need me to
Run up on him and drop him?"
"Nah, chill I got this
I'll hit you back if it's poppin"
He hung up, I called Nina
"Where you at? What you doing?"
"At the mall with some
Friends buying new Timbs"
Somethin sounded funny
She was lying for sure
But Shawn had a little plot of his own
Check it
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
You up now but you'll get yours some how
Some day in some way, shape, or form
Revenge is coming no way to escape the storm
I missed you (Aw)
Missed you so bad I followed you
(What, where?) followed you all the way
To your boyfriend's rendevouz (What?)
Yeah bitch you caught now
So don't even try to give me that shit you
Thought how it wasn't you who I saw now
(No it wasn't) you trifling ho
I gave my whole life to you yo
And now you basically shove a
Knife in my throat (It's not like that)
But, it's alright though
The same cat you was fucking with then
Is currently laying dead in the
Trunk of my Benz (Oh God)
Yeah get to crying
In a minute you'll be there beside him
And by the time the cops find
You I'll be in the islands (No, I'm sorry)
Visualizin what could have been
Between me and you it was just just a dream
You fucked up the thing between us two
So now it's speak your peace before
You leave this earth bitch
(We can work this out)
I hope that shit was worth it
And now I pray that God is merciless
With this said
Goodbye to the reason I lived this life
(Shawn) pointed the gat to her mouth
Long kiss goodnight (No)
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
You up now but you'll get yours some how
Some day in some way, shape, or form
Revenge is coming no way to escape the storm
Been down from day one
Never been known for mistakes but
