[Verse 1: J. Cole]
2
I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained
3
Unappreciated, unalleviated
4
Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
5
Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
6
No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
7
Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
8
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same
9
But homie if you change, man you change for the better
10
Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
11
Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
12
Did she have a clue of all the schemes he was schemin'
13
Still loved him just enough to put up with the cheatin'
14
Months go by and only see him for a weekend
15
I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
16
We all got angels, we all got demons
17
As you fall through the club
18
Bad bitches down to do all the above
19
Money comes fast so bein' hungry don't last
20
Till you look in the mirror you saw who you was
21
Cole World, it couldn't be more clearer
22
The time is now, couldn't be more herer
23
My reign gonna last like 3-4 eras
24
Say hello to the real, I can be your hero
25
[Hook]
26
Hey, I'mma put us all on the map
27
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
28
I knew they gone feel it like they tank on E
29
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
30
Cause ain't nobody tell me why I ain't gonna be no more
31
Thinking I'mma fall? Don't be so sure
32
I wish somebody made guidelines
33
On how to get up off the sidelines
34
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
35
Up in 1st class, laugh even though it's not funny
36
See a white man wonder how the fuck I got money
37
While he sit at coach, hate to see me walk past em'
38
Young black pants sag, headphones blastin'
39
Know what he askin', "how did he manage?"
40
"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"
41
Slang we be speakin' probably soundin' like Spanish
42
Then I fuck they heads up when a nigga show manners
43
Some New York niggas thought it was funny callin' us Bamma
44
Laughin' at the grammar cause they didn't understand us
45
Must've thought we slow, but little do they know
46
I came up in here to take advantage of that shit ya'll take for granted
47
Opportunity that I would kill for
48
Lookin' at rappers like "what the fuck you got a deal for?!"
49
When I was assed out with my funds low
50
It's nice to know I had the whole world at my front door
51
[Hook]
52
[Verse 3: J. Cole]
53
I made it to the Roc, even though they tried to box me out
54
I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
55
But what they don't understand is this is all plan
56
It's a bigger picture and you can't photoshop me out
57
Some nigga ask me why Jay never shout me out
58
Like I'm supposed to give a fuck
59
Don't you know that I be out in France
60
Where the fans throw they hands like Pacquiao
61
Not cause my looks, cause my hooks could knock Rocky out
62
And my lines is designed from the heart
63
Young Simba been a lion from the start
64
Dumb nigga's, ya'll been lyin from the start
65
My life's like a movie, truly
66
And these niggas is dyin' for the part
67
But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
68
Twenty years, wonder who they gone say was more important
69
Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
70
Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same
71
[Hook]
