    Why i feel like this was a cole song?? Or is cole just that goat that he gets on some s--- and make it his own :ummmm:

    Feel like cole did the song and told rapsody to add a verse instead of the other way around lol

    Basically it feels like j.cole feat. Rapsody. Its like cole did the song decided he wasnt gon use it for his projects and gave it back to 9th for jamla upcoming compilation

    There's a lot in these bars. Take a moment

    [Verse 1: J. Cole]
    Yeah, look
    Born into pain, alcoholic veins
    Over-analytical brain a product of the shame
    And runnin' from a past, that's checkered like the game
    Somewhere 'long the way somebody snatched my peace and main
    Maybe that's the reason I spent decades seekin' fame
    And fortune hopin' that a proper portion would contain
    The sadness in my eyes, remember when I came
    In this music business, all their questions was insane
    "Why you never smile in your pictures?" I refrain
    From givin' you the answer 'cause that answer wasn't plain
    Enough for me to see 'cause at the time I knew my name
    But didn't know myself, and so I dealt with s--- the same
    As a fugitive, but running from the truth and s---
    I s---t the s--- with n----s, but they never loop the s--- that's hidden deep
    Within the crevices like ever since I was a child
    Seen my mama with the pistol pointed at her dome and how
    In the f--- do you expect for me to ever be the best lil' me
    That I can be, when trauma's deep inside of me, like I.V. fluid Pumpin' through the blood of wifey, while she's givin' birth
    To my child, I know my thoughts are runnin' wild
    Bear with my style, this just a trial run
    Just heard these kids don't know 'bout Malcolm
    And I'm sort of heartbroken 'cause the elders lost hope in our youth
    And here I sit dead in the middle not a little boy no more
    But not quite old yet, wakin' up in cold sweats
    Scared that I'm too disconnected from the kids' perspective
    The world ain't got no patience for some s--- that's introspective So where in the f--- that leave me? Irrelevant, I guess
    Went from Heaven-sent to hella bent, intelligent but stressed, d---


    [Chorus: J Cole]
    Oh, I swam for miles, only to realize the current
    Is fightin' against me and I'm so tired, floatin' now
    Oh, from here on out, I've got to realize the power
    Of learnin' to let go, and just let God
    Enjoy the ride

    [Bridge: Rapsody]
    One more time
    Swim good, enjoy the ride (Yeah)
    Every day I rise, thank God that I am alive (Yeah)
    Yeah, swim good, enjoy the ride (Yeah)
    Every day I rise, thank God that I am alive (Uh)

    [Verse 2: Rapsody]
    Permanent vacation for forever
    Some things you gotta leave behind, some people just like weather
    And seasons, for that reason, I know I'll always have a leg up
    Weatherman forecast me dead last, think I'm just another n-----
    Maybe, I'll be the next Black Beatle like Swae Lee
    Yeah, I know my worth, these colonizers got to pay me
    Yeah, I had to go first 'cause the rest would never last
    I had to show the positives for those that couldn't add
    Lookin' at the ads, they only love us if our a---
    Out and so I'm out, I got an Audi and it's bad
    I said that line 'cause n----s only respect you if you brag
    It don't work with me the same, don't give a f--- 'bout what you have
    Everybody claimin' boss, none of you n----s got no staff
    It don't measure up the same, what's a quarter to a half?
    Of a whole lot of problems, n-----, who taught you to add?
    Where I'm from, we don't recognize that it's good math
    If you don't teach the ones that's comin' up to multiply their cash
    Think for themselves, think beyond sales
    Everything with worth don't come with some whistles and some bells
    The ones I gotta leave behind, the ones you gotta bail
    Meek Mill, I'm workin' hard, ain't too far from a meek mil'
    To keep it real, the realest n----s I know always kept it real
    And I'ma tell you, Black-on-Black murder been whack
    9th, turn me up so they can hear me in the back
    Yeah, and that's pretty hard for me
    But you see hopeful n----s and where they all ought to be
    Scared to grow wings, Birdman with a bunch of Carter beef
    That's old news, look n-----, you talkin' to modern me
    Smarter, we had better conversations sittin' with barbers
    Puttin' hearts and heads in n----s who don't think ahead, who taught you?
    School y'all, school y'all, welcome to the schoolyard
    Teach you how to make moves without needin' a UHAUL
    I was on you all when I was growin' up
    Now it's you all that's all on these nuts
    I'm ballin', havin' a ball and I got the balls to say it
    Who needs inspiration where you know when you can play it?
    Carolina to the heart, nobody here gon' play us
    The day that we expire, Carolina's where they'll lay us
    I woke up feelin' like Aaliyah, yeah, a million and one bucks
    Told these n----s I don't give a single million and one f---, Rap
