J. COLE lyrics : "Tears For ODB"

(Verse)
Tears for ODB, drug induced poetry
What's the use? Strung out from that drug abuse

What was me?
80's baby so I know my pops was getting high
In the 90's me and mama barely getting by

2000's, I was concentrating more on getting fly
Getting (*##$es, getting rich to get the %#@! I couldn't buy
You know the story, you know my allegory

I was sent from heaven with a set of horns, they better warn yall
I'm here for more then just the kicks, some witty metaphors dawg
This more uh the type of %#@! you spit to set a war off

Cuz ^!$$%s be poor, get money, then still don't know
With the $#&@ they can't cop a house, the system meant to lock us out
But I'm knockin down the doors, strapped up with a 4-4

Robin Hood %#@! and yea I'm hood rich
That's good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip
Get good hand from a good (*##$

I give 2 %#@!s, I'mma tell you straight up

(Hook)

Straight up
Straight up
Byany chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it
They say life is what you make it, (*##$
But I'm just tryna make it straight up

Straight up
Straight up
By any chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it
They say life is what you make it, (*##$


(Verse)
Lord have mercy on my soul, what I've done and what I've seen
My life has tumbled into that, which only you could intervene

I put my heart in senseless things ? money, (*##$es and street %#@!
Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won't be %#@!
Grew up in this (*##$ without a pot to piss, no toilet

How ironic, I took a lot of %#@!
Like a bottom (*##$ or a model chick, high off !@%!e
They locking sons up for less, I don't care how yall cope

But yet I still pedal this dope and these pills
I never known how sittin comfy on that Oprah seat feels
More than likely be on most wanted posters we steal

Holding on to old dreams of being Hova, be real
We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles
Left for dead, some ^!$$%s fled, people say they sold they souls

I just think they found a better way
Lord knows I never prayed
But sometimes I be wishin I could levitate

I take this straight up

(Hook)

Straight up
Straight up
Byany chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it
They say life is what you make it, (*##$
But I'm just tryna make it straight up

Straight up
Straight up
By any chance, I'mma take it

Rather die before I fake it
They say life is what you make it, (*##$
But I'm just tryna make it straight up


(Outro)
Hey

Hey
Go away
2-6 faded out %#@!

For all my ^!$$%s still going through it
Yea
Straight up

My ^!$$%s gotta learn something
It's 2012 ^!$$%
And we're still killing ourselves
You ought to know by now ^!$$%
Now you gon never know

Yo
