Caleborate - Produced By J. Cole lyrics
[Verse] This is just my check in on a mission tryna find myself Vexed missing blessings Tryna find my Wealth The best Always dressed In nothing less than What's comfortable Excuse my diction I been bumping Nas For a month or two Watching all the things in this world That's supposed to be a part of me Got me ready to make my own Carter Three See this sh** is a part of me So pardon me I had to part My opposition Had to get my own pot to piss in Had to make my own bread Build my own business I had to make it past chilling in the hood business Seeing my dad really put me in a different state f** what I been running for I'm lost in another race The one for my soul The one against my demons The one I drink away The one that keeps me scheming Late at night to be a star You know I call it dreaming It's not about the fame I mean that I really mean it But let me tell you the truth And why I do this here's the reason I promise you it's not no corny sh** I'm really speaking I wanna save lives first and foremost Cuz I remember Chance The Rapper saving me from jumping outta dorm rooms But I also need money Cuz my family ain't got it And see I got a talent That could fill up mom's wallet So for me to not get paid Is literally me wilding You gotta understand My life won't be like yours without it And I cannot just chill And wait to perish at the bottom So you gon have to hear me Make my way thru all my problems Cuz n***a I am legend Fresh Prince but I ain't rich I'm a dog Kinda small But ain't never been b**h Problem 1 n***a, I was broke last year I couldn't afford sh** Almost sold dope last year Just weed You know in case I make it with this dream This next one in line Behind balling in the league See I cannot fail Because my pockets so frail Worst part of my day Was putting up with Auntie yells Then Nic called You know that's my big dawg He said we gotta hit New York You a big fish don't get small So he took some dollars He coulda gave to his daughter And put em on a n***a that he knew would take it farther I was scared as f** I even fainted on the plane Cuz I knew this was it I'd never see the bay the same We Got up in them offices Gave em a good listen Told em I could see the future of the game I got a vision I can change the whole thang Like when Jordan met Pippen I know you see the same Nodding yo head while you listen I know that I got a thing for being the best out Respected like D-Rose Savvy like Steve Stoute Dipping on these hoes Blowing my weed out Fixing my Yankee cap Rewriting my daily raps I swear I'm the cleanest out Cole I need a beat Like you need a damn haircut Cole I need a beat Got some bars You wouldn't dare touch See at least you f**ing with me now I was scared first I didn't wanna let you down Peace to who wears the crown Look around Now I swear It's different in the world for guys like us Not just emcees n***as who really say real stuff Including Lil Uzi, 21, Kodak, Tee Grizz, Lil Yachty, Denzel Curry, Migos, Rae Sremm, Rich Homie, and of course my n***a Thug All my dawgs painting what our childhoods was You get no love If you hating On a young man Stacking up his chips Like he finna go all in The system want us missing I can see they hate the vision I'm done tryna play the game for n***as that's just sitting I'm done tryna be the guy That's getting all the b**hes I just wanna touch the sky And bring you all there to witness I just wanna touch the sky And bring you all there to witness [Hook] So let me spread my wings Aye let me spread my wings So let me spread my wings Aye let me spread my wings So let me spread my wings Aye let me spread my wings
