[Intro: Mike Epps]
2
Married men act totally different when they're by themselves, don't they?
3
You see them with their wife, like, "what's up Tony? Hey man, how's everything going brother?"
4
"Just taking it easy, hanging out with the lady"
5
"Alright, take it easy now, God bless you"
6
You be like that nigga ain't like that
7
You see him by himself, "What's up Tony?"
8
"Hey, yo, where's the bitches at, nigga?"

[Verse 1: J. Cole]
10
Yeah, give me my space
11
Lord ain't enough time to chase all these dreams
12
I mean I got no time to wait
13
Love my girl but told her straight up "don't wait up"
14
Stumble home late, I'm drunk, we fucked then made up
15
Used to living free as a bird, but now I'm laid up
16
Feeling like a nigga got handcuffs on
17
How the fuck did my life become a damn love song?
18
She ride for a nigga and she stand up for him
19
But a nigga wanna be a nigga, be a nigga
20
Ride through the streets with freaks and real niggas
21
She never understand what it's like to be a man
22
Knowing when you look inside yourself you see a nigga
23
And you don't wanna let her down but you too young for the settle down
24
And maybe you can thug it out, learn what is love about
25
When you can't live with her and you can't live without
26
Oh shit, goddamn, I think the devil got his hands on me
27
Stripper saying: "Baby, why don't you throw these bands on me?"
28
And I came to spend, she pop a molly let the motherfucking games begin
29
I'm running...
30
[Hook: J. Cole]
31
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
32
I'm holding on desperately
33
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
34
I'm holding on
35
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
36
When it's all said and done everybody dies
37
In this life ain't no happy endings
38
Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinning and fake repentance
39
The preacher says we were made in image of Lord
40
To which I replied: "Are you sure?
41
Even the murderer? Even the whore?
42
Even the nigga running through bitches on tour?"
43
With a good girl at home folding clothes and shit
44
She losing faith in him and he knows and shit
45
Like what the fuck is a break, don't know how much I can take no more
46
I give you all I got till it ain't no more
47
No more tears it's been ten long years, damn near
48
I don't know if I can wait no more, and who can blame her
49
You complaining 'bout every time you out, you come back she pout
50
Sleeping back to back, this is wack
51
We 'bout to go platinum in a minute, crib acting out
52
My childhood fantasies of wife and home
53
But it's a whole lot of actresses I'd like to bone
54
And despite the rumors you hold out on account the guilt
55
She's has got to spend her nights alone
56
And she ride or die like Eve and 'em
57
Make home cooked meals every evening
58
And even then, your lowest days no longer Superman
59
At least you got your Lois Lane
60
But you...
61
[Hook]
62
[Verse 3: J. Cole]
63
Yeah, unbelievable seen evil that not even Knievel know
64
At age 3 I knew this world was three below
65
Listen, even know my ego low achieved the unachievable
66
Imagine if my confidence was halfway decent, yo
67
This just in, fucked more bitches than Bieber though
68
Still I keep it low, got my niggas on the need to know
69
Basis, my manager back in the day was racist
70
I was a young boy, passing skate and tucking laces
71
Old perverted white man who told me: "Jermaine, It's all pink on the inside
72
Fuck what color their face is." wise words from an indecent man
73
Made me reflect on the times when we was three-fifths of them
74
And change empower less, brave souls reduce the cowardice
75
Slaving in the baking sun for hours
76
Just to see the master creep into the shack where your lady at
77
Nine months later got a baby that not quite what you excepted
78
But you refuse to neglect it cause you know your wifey love you
79
Does you refuse to accept it?
80
That's that type shit that tell why my granny light skin
81
Rich white man rule the nation still, only difference is we all slaves now
82
The chains still concealed in our thoughts
83
If I follow my heart to save myself
84
Could I run away from 50 mill like Dave Chappelle?
85
