[Intro: J.
[Chorus: J. How I make it this far How else I it this far How else I it this far How else I it this far
[Verse 1: J. Listen, music my and blood It's been my only love since yea I to play Jay high and Ye high Thinking one day I would go fan to fuckin' player I guess I a way huh My Cozz wants Zendaya A note, I'm rooting for you I use these bars and recruiting for you But treat her And just remember on your lonely nights this mic will be friend You tell it all your that you keeping deep within Your fantasies, regrets, your happy and your sins And if he doesn't at least he can pretend begin to be the men we never seen In the 80's they smoke but now today they sippin' lean And poppin' Fuck niggas runnin' their families The streets don't give a about the Grammys Wish I could talk to granny, wish I could smoke in But when it hit the blunt my mind it tortures me ain't supposed to be, apparently I take it as a and stick the shit that's steering me In the direction of some music is my therapy I thank the Lord he care for me
[Chorus: J. Cole & How else I it this far How else I it this far How I make it this far How else I make it far How I make it this far How else I it this far You I gotta thank God How I make it this far, far
[Verse 2: Music is my soul and I it only saves a chosen few From going to school or dope, crazy Back in I was bumping Cole daily Now I'm writing rhymes in the notebook that gave me And bro you so crazy, but all I can do is you You threw your boy a lob, and shit, I even say to But fuck it all that he stay true Cause you a dime, I'm sure you that every day so look Fuck being fine cause I you got a brain too And shit, let me not get my full You know your brain A little different when you haven't ate So I'mma leave it up to fate to make these And to my intentions I did it for more of the passion, not the great Knowing that more than fat asses and great sex Tryna be the man I yet But demons on me like ashes on gray sweats Cause man I ain't made and I'm lacking the patience a battle to take in the fact that I ain't win, yet What am I saying again, I go play and win I travel and take I look to God then I him
Cozz] How I make it this far How else I it this far How else I it this far How else I it this far Yeah, how else I make it far How else I it this far You know I gotta God How else I make it far, far
[Verse 3: I ain't got money to blow but I'm getting there dawg Can't get momma a home but I'm there y'all Won't reach the end of the road just sittin' there How you gon' learn to grow if you listening y'all? Look, I'm still a of the game but I been through some things And I could school you rather say don't be in the brain You gotta learn to fly before you cruising the planes And you could be a boss, gotta do it in your lane Choosing and choose to instead of choosing to pray To use and for pay You doing it for the or you doing it to get praised? would you do for fame if it was family or money? They probably lose you Probably buy a car and try and with the pain homies and hoes is truly the same Try and screw you for Yeah truly a shame But I seem to see the beauty in the rain I made it far
