1
I hit the weed I told myself the last time would be my last
2
I don't trust my own -ggas now my mind racing fast
3
Got my foot up on the gas, got a hundred on the dash
4
If the police run up on me I aint stopping for they ass
5
Boy you know my L's dirty if they stop me I'm goin to jail surely
6
I'll be next to my brother in the cell no bail for me
7
Man let me out send me back to bitches that smell Purdy (pretty)
8
And all I gotta do is call once and she'll be all ready
9
Yeah buddy can't you tell I'm goin thru hell
10
I don't even open my mail
11
I'm in the shower with soap on the towel
12
I need cleansing
13
Bad bitches all on the prowl they need Benzes
14
P-ssy -ggas running they mouth but we aint flinching
15
The names that need mention
16
I got dreams bigger then your whole team
17
You -ggas so broke yet somehow you so green
18
I guess this indie started with a penny now I'm getting plenty money
19
[Chorus]
20
One time for the city, yea
21
Two times for you
22
Hey
23
And one time for the city, hey
24
And two times for you
25
[J Cole - Verse 2]
26
Look kid, it's raining outside boy
27
F-ck an umbrella, -ggas banging outside boy
28
They guns dumb bell a -gga
29
Tired of telling -ggas that's a cease rest in peace
30
We tired of only having just a peace
31
And f-ck policing, they killing -ggas what's the reason
32
His daughter starving and she f-cking freezing
33
So no wonder why he f-cking squeezing
34
They out here bussin' leavin' -ggas stuck in bleedin' on the flo'
35
Bullets wet you like a semen on a hoe
36
Breathing slow man I inhale
37
One day you tryna make rent, next day you in jail
38
Lord knows he meant well
39
So I take the pencil and write like a pen pal
40
Some shit that's darker than the tints up on the windshield
41
Welcome to sinville where -ggas on base
42
Sh-t is looking like an infield
43
High as a Sprint bill
44
What you think, that's the reason why this ink in my pen kills
45
Phoney -ggas until they are extinct, b-tch I've been real
46
One time for the city, yea
47
Two times for you
48
Hey
49
And one time for the city, hey
50
Two times for you
51
Hey
52
[Verse 3]
53
The more -ggas sayin'
54
Cole the wrong one bringin' the city shine
55
All he ever doin' is paintin' pictures of crime
56
Tellin' stories of pain, paintin' pictures of dope
57
Bitch if you listen I'm paintin' pictures of hope
58
That boy in class embarrassed because he broke
59
Hopin' the day he won't be the butt of somebody's jokes
60
See me; I lived it all from dirt-poor in trailer
61
Worried about my mother and never trustin' my neighbors
62
To middle-class with a backyard and my own room
63
To bein' the only black kid in my homeroom
64
Academically gifted and followed my own rules
65
Was runnin' the streets hey ma I'll be home soon
66
Was out chasin' ho's, was out hoopin'
67
Them -ggas wasn't ballin' but yet they was foul shootin'
68
So meet the newest role model who don't know how to fake this sh-t
69
Never sold a rock and look I made it bitch
70
[Hook]
71
One time for the city, yea
72
Two times for you
73
Hey
74
And one time for the city, hey
75
And two times for you
76
Hey
77
[Outro]
78
Girl it's been so long, I've been gone from you
79
But you ain't gotta worry 'bout the things I do
80
It's hard but the thought of you would ease my pain
81
Girl I promise they gon' know our name
82
Ain't seen you smile in awhile
83
But I been dreamin' 'bout you
