paroles de chanson How Did I Get Here - J. Cole , Offset

Uh, nobody, you know what I'm sayin', nobody
Nobody thought a nigga would be
Right here, though, you know
That shit make like, that shit make
That shit make a difference in me and you
You was supposed to be here, nigga
Nigga, I wasn't supposed to be
In this motherfucker man
You know what I'm sayin'
Give all the glory to God and hard work
But you niggas gotta respect this shit
You know what I'm sayin'
I'm straight from the
Where I'm at? (Where) Where I go?
(How) How did I get here? (How did I get here?)
Walk around with a Smithfield (Smithfield)
I'm from the south, had a gold grill (Gold grill)
Remember doing shows in Mobile (Mobile)
Go against me and it's road kill (Road kill)
Waking up and see the sunrise (Sunrise)
I turned five and got baptized (Baptized)
We was living up in College Park (College Park)
Midnight heard the gunfight (Gunfight)
Playing football at Forest Park (Forest Park)
Gresham Park where your
Moment get defined (Get defined)
Story of my life (The life)
Way before I ever wrote a rhyme
(Way before)
Have you ever done time? (Time)
Lookin' at my kids through the blinds (Blinds)
Confinement mind (Confinement)
How you feeling when you face a dime? (Time)
The truth be told (Told)
I'm supposed to be locked up and dead
Cold (Cold)
In the mind of an old (He cold)
White man the black man soul
Felt like I was born on Mars (Mars),
Everybody staring too hard (Starin')
They didn't really think I was a star
(They didn't really)
Then I fucked around and beat the odds
(Fucked around)
How did I get right here? (How did I?)
Neck-wrist on chandelier (Chandelier)
Made me wanna drop some tears (Tears)
Thanking God that I switched gears (Whooo)
I'm from another light year, I'm a Martian (Martian)
One-third of a human, just partial (One third)
I'm the Sergeant, the Captain, the Marshal (Serge)
I start to barf, it was too much potion
Too fast, everything slow motion
I get the cash and my money keep grossing
(Get the cash)
Popped a bottle, Champagne, we toastin'
Suicide doors on the coupe when they open
They didn't believe in me (Naw)
Check the stats, number one, you see (You see)
I bet my haters can't breathe
Nigga don't even compare to me (Naw)
Street niggas, we rare, unique (We rare)
We can fuck 'em by the pair, by the three
(By the pair)
Chopper sounding like a snare on a beat
(Like a snare)
I'm from the A, I love your ass, it's a peach (Peach)
Where I'm from, niggas cash, don't lease (Cash)
Where I'm from, the sticks on the backseat
(Stick sticks)
Where I'm from, police put you six feet
A lot of bums and they sleeping on the street (Bums)
Yeah, yeah, that's at home
Nigga go back to your family
Where you dead wrong (Go back)
Miss my dog, dead and gone (Miss him)
I can hear his voice telling me "don't go along" (Pistol)
Yeah, the money can't fix that (Naw)
Dirty money, had to rinse that (Dirty money)
I try my hardest not to look back (Try)
Not too long ago I would've took that (Gimme that)
This for my niggas at the cook packs (Cook cook)
Million dollar trap fall, 'cause I won't rat (Rats)
Yeah, ain't no coming back (Yeah)
How I made it out the jungle, yeah
Without a scratch (Hey)
Where I'm at? (Where) Where I go?
(How) How did I get here? (How did I get here?)
Walk around with a Smithfield (Smithfield)
I'm from the south, had a gold grill (Gold grill)
Remember doing shows in Mobile (Mobile)
Go against me and it's road kill (Road kill)
Waking up and see the sunrise (Sunrise)
I turned five and got baptized (Baptized)
We was living up in College Park (College Park)
Midnight heard the gunfight (Gunfight)
Playing football at Forest Park (Forest Park)
Gresham Park where your
Moment get defined (Get defined)
Story of my life (The life), way before I ever wrote a rhyme
(Way before)
Have you ever done time? (Time)
Lookin' at my kids through the blinds (Blinds)
Confinement mind (Confinement)
How you feeling when you face a dime? (Time)
The truth be told (Told)
I'm supposed to be locked up and dead
Cold (Cold)
In the mind of an old (He cold)
White man the black man soul
Baptized at First Baptist Church
The pastor name was Reverend Johnson (Okay)
Chastised his shirt and matching shoes
But had to front, it never bothered him (Okay)
Hurt his pride but he swallowed it (Okay)
Dirt is all that he spotted
And in the dirty south where bodies piling up
So high, they block the birds
And rerouted them (Damn)
Plenty murderers had observers but
You never heard a peep out of them
So many funerals it ain't enough numerals
To keep count of them (Whoa)
Look, I'm just settin' the scene
Back when I stared at the
Phone as I'm letting it ring
Another collector, they leave us a message
My mama in deficit, must intervene
I bust out the seams
I'm getting to big for these britches now
I invest in the dream, I'm destined for green
I got superstar dick for these bitches now
I got superstar dick for these bitches now
And I think about that when I dig 'em out
(When I dig 'em out, when I dig 'em out)
Where I'm at? (Where) Where I go?
(How) How did I get here? (How did I get here?)
Walk around with a Smithfield (Smithfield)
I'm from the south, had a gold grill (Gold grill)
Remember doing shows in Mobile (Mobile)
Go against me and it's road kill (Road kill)
Waking up and see the sunrise (Sunrise)
I turned five and got baptized (Baptized)
We was living up in College Park (College Park)
Midnight heard the gunfight (Gunfight)
Playing football at Forest Park (Forest Park)
Gresham Park where your
Moment get defined (Get defined)
Story of my life (The life)
Way before I ever wrote a rhyme
(Way before)
Have you ever done time? (Time)
Lookin' at my kids through the blinds (Blinds)
Confinement mind (Confinement)
How you feeling when you face a dime? (Time)
The truth be told (Told)
I'm supposed to be locked up and dead
Cold (Cold)
In the mind of an old (He cold)
White man the black man soul
