Lyrics m y . l i f e - J. Cole



Oh, you came there, God
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Lord
No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah
No matter how long it take, n-
Oh, God, yeah
You better be
Spiralin′ up, just like a rich n- staircase (spiral up)
No-fly zone, please stay the f- out my airspace (out my face)
N- say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say (dare say)
Know it′s on sight when I see you, I'm workin' at SquareSpace
Yeah, top of the mornin′, I know that you thought that I was dormant
Woke up early from shots that were swarmin′
A block full of opps, now the cops in an orbit
Guess somebody got popped and they knockin' on doors
Tryna find an informant but I ain′t see nathin'
I′m mindin' my business as God is my witness
No weapon gon′ prosper that's formin' against me
N-, I′m starvin′, immensely
Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon′ miss me
Ja Morant, I'm on my Grizzly
You n- just cubs but no, not the ones in big leagues
After The Fall Off, I promise I′m comin' to sellin′ out Wrigley's
I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics
To profit off quickly
My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons
Not really the hustlin′ instincts
Therefore, often, my pockets was empty
So I summoned my partner
Was servin′ up r- on the corners, the project assemblies
Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it′s plenty
Wanna be in the spot like where every b- want me
Like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty
What I see in the sky
The ′Ville is the ceilin', can′t reach up too high, evidently
Nah, I can't reach up too high, evidently
Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley
I can′t be out here moppin′ a Wendys
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you sayin′ now won't budge me
′Cause where I come from (come from), so often (so often)
People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It′s my time and my world, my life, my life
Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized
I let the K go when Johnny died
Swangin' that m- side to side
We don′t participate, ain′t with that squashin' sh-
All we believe in is homicide
I got a good heart, so I sent teddy bears
Every time we make their mommas cry
I pray my past ain′t ahead of me (21)
When I'm in love, I love heavenly (on God)
If you betray me, you dead to me (21)
I disrespect you respectfully (straight Up)
I got some partners who left this Earth
Maybe the pain made a better me (on God)
Just know they secrets is kept with them (on God)
I feel like the streets is in debt with me (straight up)
I gave my heart away to all the dawg
′Cause that's who accepted me (21)
I blame my pops for that sh-
′Cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)
Give all the props to my momma
′Cause no matter what, she always protected me (on God)
I promise you, it ain′t no checkin' me (on God)
Jump in the water, get wet with me (straight up, 21, 21)
You want my money or wanna have s- with me?
Can′t let the opps or the law get the best of me
I get to answerin', you get to textin′ me
I see chicken, you n- is breast to me
Plantin' the seed but it ain′t a sesame
Can't let you-, grow next to me
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you sayin′ now won′t budge me
'Cause where I come from (come from), so often (so often)
People you grow up with layin′ in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time and my world, my life, my life
