[J. Cole, Bas - Tribe lyrics]
This one's for you this one's for you
I think I made it
I think I made it, I think I made it
'Cause, I'm always smiling
And you are the reason now
Girl, I can't explain it
It's all in the timing, I had to get low
I had to get low
I had to get back, I had to report
I had to get facts 'cause you are just that
You that girl, you share your truths with me
And I find them true, a muse
You in the booth with me
Can't spend no time on the nickle and dime'n
I got me a girl, she don't want no diamonds
A daily reminder to holla at God
Like "Where did you find her? Good looking
My nigga" everything 'round me I took it
Did it with only the niggas I knew
And a few niggas I thought I knew better
There go my bitches, I always do better
But, you're more top echelon
My next probably be a step backwards
Niggas front when they get struck with love
Like the drama majors, be the best actors
I'm done with all that tough acting
John Madden would've saw it happen
And so it happens
My niggas want life's good things
They still dreaming and you deserve 'em too
I'ma do it just so it happens
I think I made it, I think I made it
'Cause, I'm always smiling
And you are the reason now
Girl, I can't explain it
It's all in the timing, I had to get low
I had to get low
I had to get back, I had to report
I had to get facts 'cause you are just that
You that you share your truths with me
And I find them true, a muse
You in the booth with me
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la (This one's for you)
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la (This one's for you)
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la (I'm hella faded)
La, la, la, la, la (yeah) la, la, la, la, la
I'm hella faded, yeah
I'm hella faded, I'm hella faded
These niggas been hating
I don't know the reason now
Sometimes I feel jaded
They don't see the real me
They only know Cole, they only know Co-ole
I had to get back
I had to resort to turning my back
I'm doing just that, true that
I thought He was through with me
But that wasn't true
The proof? You in the coupe with me
God shuffled the cards
Dealt me a hand with impossible odds
Put an obstacle course up
Look, and I conquered them all
(Conquered them all)
With minimal effort I'm fresher than
Sock in your drawer (Fuck)
They spinning my records so heavy
I'm topping the Forbes
Stuck in a rock and a hard place though
Is it true what they say? The higher you go
The longer the fall?
Well, I dropped to the floor
The knock at the door was on cue
Uh, I thought that I saw it
All 'til I saw you
Now I call you when the sun
Shines and the rain dries up i'm a pit bull
But for you I be on chain tied up
(One more time)
In the backyard with a muzzle on
Tail wagging like Oregon Trail
Waiting on you to come through
Just like you do, well
I think I made it, I think I made it
I think I made it
'Cause, I'm always smiling
And you are the reason now
Girl, I can't explain it
It's all in the timing, I had to get low
I had to get low
I had to get back, I had to report
I had to get facts 'cause you are just that
You that you share your truths with me
And I find them true, a muse
You in the booth with me
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la (This one's for you)
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la (This one's for you)
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la (This one's for you)
La, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la
I think I made it
I think I made it, I think I made it
I think I made it
'Cause, I'm always smiling and you
Are the reason now
I think I made it
I think I made it, I think I made it
'Cause, I'm always smiling
