(Verse 1: Bas)
They putting prices on heads, silver or lead
I pray the scores settle 'fore the devil notice you dead

Got me smoking the potent, my eyes open and Otis, they red
Thoughts of my eye roam and words that I hoped I had said
That aunty sippin on, we missin ya

Even tho you gone, your thought alone can lift us up
This is us
Got some ^!$$%s that never call me unless they need something,

But I pick up, like, ?whassup, what you need cousin??
My ^!$$%s know that I love 'em
Give 'em roses while they can smell 'em

Cause ain't no tellin' who'll be here tomorrow
Used to borrow your digital scale
Flippin' them sales

But now it's digital dash while you're still in the past
Boy, trust me when I tell you, the picture got much bigger
The swishers and dutch fill up

(*##$es in lust with us
Momma would dissapprove, losing my way
Lost in the sauce, this bolognese is so amazing

Had a talk and she remark: ?you so engaging?
Running game, it's all the same
I'm growing jaded

Had a couple things in common, like Lonnie Lynn
But I'm too faded for conversatin'
I'm sittin' here contemplatin'? how to win


(Hook: J Cole)
Slipping away, away

Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
Time keeps slipping away, away

Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey


(Verse 2: J Cole)
Yeah
Cousin in jail again, asking me for bail again

Close when I was 12, but I was much frailer then
He was like 16, a ^!$$% from the gutter and
Years ago his favorite uncle had married my mother and

Here we are, runnin' through the Ville like dumb and dumber and
For that summer man I swear I wish you was my brother then
But time passed and we fell off cause you moved back home

Little did you know Jermaine done grew a new back bone
^!$$%s thought he wouldn't make it 'till he proved that wrong
12 years later on the radio that Who Dat song

Your homeboy bumps the Warm Up now he buggin'
Cause he looking at the cover and say ?Damn yo that's my cousin?
And ^!$$%s looking at you like you lying but you wasn't

Next thing I know you blowing up my line all a sudden
And I'm showing love saying ?yo look what I did,
Man nobody coming from here ever did this %#@! this big?

But now you saying ?Man enough about you,
%#@! what about me, my ^!$$% what about me?
Oh you forgot about me?

Saying ^!$$%s showed you how to rap, now you don't know how to act
Boy I'm at the bottom you could pull a ^!$$% out of that
Put me in a video, aye put me on your hottest track

Bring me on the road with you, you know 'cuz got yo back
And I'm strapped up if them ^!$$%s act up
See you headed to the top you need to let me catch up

Please let me catch up
Won't you let me catch up man?
I'll see you when I see you

Harsh as it seems to say, I wouldn't want to be you
Bail you out for your daughter and I pray to God
A ^!$$% never pull your card or she won't ever get to see you


(Hook: J Cole)
Slipping away, away

Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
Time keeps slipping away, away

Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey
