[Verse 1: J Cole]
17
Yeah, this is the Ville, home of the fast-lifers
18
Where we get high and don't come down, we gas righteous
19
Man, I wonder how hard to live my past life was
20
Cause this one hard, I could show you my scars
21
I ain't crying tho...
22
Then save that pity for the next man
23
Or that girl getting beat down by her ex-man
24
Hey, hold your head, mama
25
I know you wish that nigga dead, mama
26
If I can find a way to kill him, I won't have any drama

Damn mama, tell me who you love

This one is for the boy that sees his mama on drugs

I feel your pain, boy and just know that I been through the same, boy
30
That lady needs you more than ever
31
Don't be ashamed boy
32
Cause when it rained, boy, that was your umbrella
33
The one that changed your pissy sheets when you was a young fella
34
And now she in the bedroom on her knees
35
Staring at the sky, screaming "Lord please! "
36
Tell me now
37

[Verse 2:]
47
Soon as you cling on, my mind's saying "be gone! "
48
I leave em with wrinkled foreheads, they now Klingons
49
Confused, cause friendship's abuse and I'm sorry for it
50
My life performance been trifling, some nights I fight my conscience?
51
Was never given space, but I always heared the heart
52
Always miss playing the hand that was dealt the joker cards
53
It's what I was feeling like, lonely low energy
54
Fallin slow clinically, ballin' over we finna be
55
Don't pity me ever, even when them haters answering
56
Mindstate of the victim, no victim, I'm just a champion
57
Money come in slow, God, intervene
58
Spirit's never broken, I'm just focused, don't pity me
59
No no no, you see this pain put a strain on my whole life
60
I seen the rain, seen my dreams turn to long nights
61
But all I ask is don't pity me, no, no!
62
Don't pity me, no, no, no!
63

[Verse 3:]
77
I freestyle life, can barely write the rent
78
Yearly income can barely keep this music life in check
79
Call up mama, hate to borrow money, with Christmas near
80
Hey you know what? How about we make each other gifts this year
81
Friends are calling me up, asking me if I'm signed yet
82
Who I'm working with? Am I making dollar signs yet?
83
Disappointment within their voices, do they pity me?
84
Disbelief, I'm a stay driven like them city streets
85
But ah, it seems like every day is rainy weather
86
Can barely fit my pain and poverty the same umbrella
87
But he don't care, he don't care, it's hard to keep em dry
88
No more caterpillar, now you see him change: peeping Tom
89
This life'll flash before your eyes
90
So get your match before your fire turns to ash
91
No more drive, no more gas, before you cry, get your last
92
Before you die, life your past with no regrets
93
Broken X, no looking back man
94
