[00:00.000] 作曲 : J. Cole
[00:00.005] 作词 : J. Cole
[00:00.567] Are you doin' this work to facilitate growth or to become famous?
[00:05.833] Which is more important?
[00:07.367] Getting or letting go?
[00:09.687] You can do anything, anything you can do?(You can do anything)
[00:21.356] You can do anything, anything you can do?(You can do anything)
[00:32.802] Everything come back around full circle
[00:35.823] Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful?
[00:38.758] Everybody gotta cry once in a while
[00:41.635] But how long will it take 'fore you smile
[00:43.914] This is that come back to life sh*t
[00:46.074] My n**gas pick me up and we gon' light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
[00:50.445] And paint the town red for my n**ga found dead too soon
[00:53.842] Yeah
[00:55.267] To the left of that decimal, I need seven figures to play the joint
[00:58.913] Turn up your decibels, peep how I decimate a joint
[01:02.052] Check out my projects like them workers that Section 8 appoints
[01:04.890] And you'll see how I flipped, like exclamation points
[01:07.929] My n**gas shoot first as if they never played the point, more two guards
[01:11.950] Enough straps to fill four U-Hauls
[01:14.019] More death than World War II caused around these parts
[01:17.404] We pour the brown just to drown these thoughts
[01:19.677] Of black corpses in county morgues, Lord, those images hauntin'
[01:23.459] I ain't been sleep yet, it's ten in the morning
[01:25.510] I'm sendin' a warnin', a problem with me is like the BET hip hop awards
[01:29.457] I'm startin' to see you n**gas don't want it
[01:31.187] I'm sick of this flauntin', from n**gas I know for sho' ain't got mo' dough than Cole
[01:34.619] Trash rappers, a*s backwards, tryna go toe to toe
[01:37.629] We laugh at ya, staff strapped up on top the totem pole, to blast at ya
[01:41.457] Bass masters, look how they tote a pole
[01:43.502] Gotta know the ropes and the protocol
[01:45.821] Or they gon for sho blow your clothes half off like a promo code
[01:49.474] Made a lil' tune called "Foldin' Clothes," and a n**ga still ain't known to fold
[01:53.514] Under pressure, well you know what Cole do
[01:55.420] Make a diamond, they just rhymin', me, I'm quotin' gold
[01:58.255] One phone call get you canceled like a homophobe
[02:01.252] In this PC culture, address me as the G.O.A.T
[02:03.733] Like they call Chief Keef Sosa, in my sectional like a f**kin' three piece sofa
[02:08.466] I'm known as the chosen one
[02:09.858] Another dead body lay frozen that's how it go sometimes
[02:13.019] When n**gas weighin' coke and not the pro's and cons
[02:15.455] Well I ain't with that sleepin' underground like a gopher, so I go for mines
[02:18.798] Everything come back around full circle
[02:21.745] Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
[02:24.858] Everybody gotta cry once in a while
[02:27.428] But how long will it take 'fore you smile
[02:29.724] This is that come back to life sh*t
[02:32.164] My n**gas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
[02:36.426] And paint the town red for my n**ga found dead too soon
[02:39.833] Now I know why they call it blue moon (Yeah)
[02:42.302] Survival at all costs, everyday n**gas get logged off
[02:45.506] Bodies get hauled off
[02:46.975] Passin' a funeral procession while holdin' my breath in the car I thought
[02:49.802] At times, it be feelin the devil be winnin' but do that mean God lost?
[02:52.732] Just got off the phone with my n**ga, he back in the kennel, my dog lost
[02:55.725] I brought him round close to me
[02:56.921] Before but he
[02:57.538] Became addicted to clout and all the hoes we'd meet
[03:00.030] I slowly peeped jealousy on his breath, whenever he spoke to me
[03:02.793] Like on the low, he feelin' like in my shoes is where he supposed to be
[03:05.785] I tried to ignore the signs, but there in the back of my mind, it felt
[03:08.806] Like lettin' a n**ga come sleep on your couch but he eatin' up all yo' groceries
[03:11.590] My n**ga repeated this quote to me, I felt its potency
[03:14.495] Said, "Most of these n**gas gon' hang themselves, just give 'em the rope and see"
[03:17.605] Sh*t, I heeded that, and what got showed to me
[03:20.467] Was screamin' that, some n**gas you gotta leave em back unfortunately
[03:23.519] We seen the trap, n**gas be on that demon clock resultantly
[03:26.303] They fiend to clap as often as the Genius app misquotin' me, uh
[03:30.253] Meanwhile, I see that yo' diamonds is glistenin'
[03:32.408] I'm glad that you shinin' but need I remind you my n**gas is dimin' and nickelin'
[03:35.414] Scrapin' up whatever coin they can find, the pettiest crime they committin' it
[03:38.330] Just to get by for a limited time, the steepest of mountains they tryna climb
[03:41.258] I'm here tryna find the derivative
[03:42.710] You n**gas don’t feel me, you see the clout
[03:44.485] You don't see the real me
[03:45.237] If I was sick, you n**gas wouldn't heal me
[03:46.879] Therefore I'm healin' myself, gettin' in tune with my God
[03:49.291] Slowly revealin' myself, buildin' my wealth
[03:51.075] A n**ga touch mine, I'ma kill 'em myself, trust me
[03:53.098] Everything come back around full circle
[03:56.011] Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
[03:59.001] Everybody gotta cry once in a while
[04:01.819] But how long will it take before you smile
[04:04.168] This is that come back to life sh*t
[04:06.234] My n**gas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
[04:10.696] And paint the town red for my n**ga found dead too soon
[04:14.175] Now I know why they call it blue moon (Yeah)
[04:16.478] B**ch, I'm back outside, n**ga
[04:19.106] I'm back outside
[04:21.726] I'm back outside
[04:24.927] B**ch, I'm back outside
[04:27.214] Everybody mentions suicide prevention
[04:31.293] Man, they even made a hotline
[04:34.017] To call up when there's tension but I got a question
[04:36.988] What about a f**kin' homicide?
[04:39.994] Need a number for my n**gas to call
[04:42.662] Whenever there's a urge to get triggers involved
[04:46.070] Need a number for my n**gas to call
[04:48.887] Whenever there's a urge to get triggers involved
