    This was a J Dilla beat produced for Erykah Badu (Didn't cha Know),which is originally a sample from a jazz funk group called Tarika Blue (Dream Flower). If you listen to each song, you can feel the difference. Shout out to J Cole for doing it justice though and keeping music alive.

  • @GOODKidBURNCity
    @GOODKidBURNCity Před 5 lety +87

    Verse 1]
    Partially functional, half of me is comfortable
    The other half is close to the cliff like Mrs. Huxtable
    These boys got them hoslters and clips they pack like Lunchables
    Like white boys in grade school, while we ate school made food
    Just eyeing they shit, wish I was trying they shit
    Knowing when mama hit the store she wasn’t buying that shit
    No I ain't crying a bit man, that's just life that's how that shit work
    You reach your hand in fire, you pull it back when you get burnt
    Gotta learn when you get hurt, even if it's with cupid
    He beat you and you went back, who's officially stupid?
    Oh yeah I understand that's your man, you had a plan
    You been together for some years, you sticking with him for the kids
    So you overlook the tears, but we both know that's a bad look
    'Cause 20 years from now your daughter probably get her ass whooped
    Look, if this too deep for the intro I’ll find another use
    But just in case its perfect let me introduce
    Cole
    [Hook: Erykah Badu]
    Time to save the world, bearing the world is all the time
    So many things I still don't know, so many times I've changed my mind
    Guess I was born to make mistakes, but I ain't scared to take the weight
    So when I stumble off the path, I know my heart will guide me back
    [Verse 2]
    Yea, man, is this too deep for the intro? If so I’ll find another use
    But just in case its perfect, let me introduce
    It’s Cole, I had a dream and so I made a move
    A ill ass nigga who just so happened to stay in school
    Still rap for hustlers and mothafuckers that hated school
    Said "that's for busters," then heard my shit and I made it cool
    It's safe to say that I’m gifted as if I’m Christmas shopping
    I got gangsta niggas lining up in admissions office
    Ayy, possibly cause all the hoes a nigga scraped
    A lot of shit up on my plate so you know a nigga late to my first class
    I’d much rather sit up in first class
    Should I admit that a slutty bitch was my first smash?
    Wasn't experienced, so nah I didn't wear it out
    Always thought my first time would be someone I cared about
    But being a virgin was something to be embarrassed 'bout
    I used that ass for practice, so I wasn't scared out my mind
    You call it rhymes I call it clearing out my mind
    Was just a young boy starin' out my blinds
    Till I got free from my mama leash
    Running loose through the streets
    Like a stray dog in heat
    And we looking for some freaks can you play, pardon me
    Whats your name, don’t mistake me for no lame, no not me
    She knew I was on the team cause she seen how tall I be
    In the club dappin’ niggas, even-tu-ally R-I-P
    Damn, you win some, you lose some, that just how its happens
    And if a nigga step up to ya, then you gotta scrap em
    Your name is all you got, throwing hands by the bathroom
    Its funny I barely told nobody I started rapping
    'Cause see some niggas was haters that I just viewed as clowns
    At 14 I knew I was the nicest dude around
    I gotta make a move, I gotta do this now
    If they don’t know your dreams, then they can't shoot em down
    [Interlude]
    Ha, yeah nigga
    Hell yeah, I felt that one in my fuckin' soul
    [Outro: Erykah Badu]
    Ooh, hey, I'm trying to decide
    Which way to go, think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
    Ooh, hey, I'm trying to decide
    Which way to go, think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Love that dude. “ you win some you lose some that’s just how it happens, and if a brotha step up to you then you gotta scrap him. Your name is all you got, throwin hand by the bathroom, it’s funny, I barely told nobody I started rapping, see some brothas was haters that I just viewed as clowns, at 14 I knew I was the nicest dude around, I gotta make a move, I gotta do this now, if they don’t know your dreams, then they can’t shoot them down. “
