[Intro:]
2
Hurt, to think that you lied to me
3
Hurt, way down deep inside of me
4
And it breaks my heart...
5
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
6
Get paid a pretty penny for my thoughts
7
I'm Hardaway with grammar, I'm hot
8
They only care 'bout a nigga when he hand the rock
9
Or when he dishing the pill, or when he grippin' the steel
10
Bailing out my brother, telling the lawyer "get the appeal"
11
With the flick of the pen write the check and he out
12
Two years later he be at my shows checking me out
13
Know he proud of lil bro and how my records be out
14
Flashbacks to childhood when he was deckin' me out
15
Now it's clear lil Maine is the best mc out
16
Hands down, flow water, can't drown
17
My flow father, go harder, Cole smarter
18
Shout out to fiends in Queens, I'm team no daughters
19
[Bridge:]
20
I seen it all at this young age
21
The only thing left to do is die and hit front page
22
Should I knock on wood and pray like God forbid
23
These hoes be poppin' pills, these niggas be poppin' shit, bitch
24
[Hook:]
25
Pac on the mic in his prime
26
They only care 'bout a nigga when he writing a rhyme, boy
27
Kenny Lofton you feelin' my pace?
28
They only care 'bout a nigga when he stealin' the base
29
It's like I'm Wilt the Stilt, I'm fucking them all
30
They only care 'bout a nigga when he dunkin' the ball
31
And it breaks my heart
32
The world's a stage and I'm just playing my part
33
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
34
Just caught fire like a young Richard Pryor with unforgettable quotes
35
They only care 'bout a nigga when tellin' a joke
36
Or when he's sellin' his dope
37
They tell the reverend "Man, I rather get to heaven with coke
38
Then live in hell and be broke"
39
Shout out to black man who beat the odds by yellin' for hope
40
Today he asked if I could Twitter y'all and tell you to vote
41
My nigga, how could I, knowing what I know
42
It's a game of charades, masquerade for the dough
43
Read the teleprompter these niggas is actors on the low
44
Yeah I voted for the nigga cause he got the best show
45
Like I got the best flow
46
On your mark, set, go
47
Mama got us out the hood but we still ghetto
48
[Bridge:]
49
[Hook:]

[Verse 3: Young Jeezy]
51
I said, you wouldn't know the truth if it was right there in your face
52
See I can't explain the feeling when feds surround your place
53
In that pj Rose, I drink that shit by the case
54
Like somebody pray for me, Reverend Run, Pastor Mase
55
See I do this for my homie he got caught with a soft eight
56
When I say a soft eight, yeah that's two less than ten
57
If they let him out today he gon' do it all again
58
Say he lost the first time it won't stop until he win
59
Street life will have you drunk, I'm talkin serious Gin
60
Screamin' Scarface, but we all know how that ends
61
Every word is like dope, you can snort it like lines
62
If I said it, then I meant it, they reciting' every line
63
If I had to write a book, it would be the Life & Times
64
Every verse is that work, you can weight it like a nine
65
You see I lost a lot of niggas and it broke my heart
66
Life is staged I just play my part
67
[Hook:]
