[Intro: Yeah, take nigga Cozz & nigga Yeah, yeah, I got to Yeah,
[Verse 1: holding enemies hostage Eventually the will come and haunt ya Hennessey memories leaving me But the Hennessy makes the awesome So instead of me talking I'm jotting And steady plotting on how to spaghetti toppings You know that parmesan, that cheddar, The list goes on and on you my heart is dark You know my list is long, I'm a phenomenon It's like these people keep It's always the expected who ends up getting it So don't tell me no niggas hating What's the if I hear Mr. not giving a with a joint in his ear Put steak on his plate then so long disappear Empty gut I'm hungry man, the pointing this year I'm like I'm dealing with children boy I'm killing Niggas already trying to styles You break a tooth if you down Bitch I go way too
1: Cozz] Cause I've in this hood dog for way too long man been quiet for way too long Been waiting can't wait too long dog I've broke man for way too long No hot for way too long You can't knock the hustle way too strong Yeah way too strong
2: J. Cole] Death to the imposters, me the king My dreams could win Oscars, my niggas turned My white friends doctors, fatherless how I got this knowledge is wild Streets taught me, speak nigga watch from the crowd Cause any nigga that's loud, just want attention and eventually No fake niggas allowed in my circle You been through half the I been through it'll hurt ya dawg Tread softly, my nigga state to state running late watch 'em avoid state troopers, that's the weight watchers Run this dope set this cake till say "Gotcha" Or till the fat lady sings, and niggas oprahs And hate niggas Make no mistake that we know the stake still, we hope to over eight figures Slim chances, but niggas bet against the odds and who am I to criticise how you play cards dawg
[Hook 2: J. Cause I beat the odds going way too hard I been getting on for way too long I been patiently for way too long I been quiet for way too long You can't know the hustle dawg way too strong way too strong I said you knock my hustle dawg it's way too strong It's way too
[Verse 3: J. Look, I never admit it, get my brother acquitted Yo' tell the I be happy to pay him off if he's with it My and blood, hauled off to the cell I search for heaven as I see him getting lost in hell for coffin or jail To never try is the ultimate But love is wanting more for someone than they want for Deep, I I love a lot Because the more I do my thang the more I feel the guilt and that my brother's not Reminisce as we was screaming "Fuck a cop" Guess he it serious, for me that shit was just for props Arms too to hug the block I comfort in my dreams, of things seen on the screen of fortune and fame Decisions, decisions, the Porsche or the I a trip back to the 'Ville only corpses remain Some of them niggas still breathing but dead inside Victims of a Tears fill my eyes
3: J. Cole] Cause I've out of touch man for way too long I've been out in for way too long I've been, getting this for way too long I ain't my pops back in way too long I make my girl wait for way too long I if I changed in my way to own Can't knock my but It's way too strong way too strong
