Cordae - Coach Carter lyrics
[Intro] Huh, yeah, huh Ladies and gentlemen uh, huh Boys and girls, huh Need y'all to just uh, huh, rock with me Uh, yeah, uh [Chorus] I used to dream about a Dodge Charger Suicide doors, sittin’ on 24's I was tryna find a job, but sh*t, why bother? Being broke can make you try harder Sittin' in the house watchin’ Coach Carter Plottin' on this fu*kin' Cartier, hey Plus a ni**a tryna go farther I finally arrived and nobody's here, hey [Verse 1] I used to dream about a new Hummer Back when G.O.O.D. Music dropped Cruel Summer Back when ni**as wondered if I'd do numbers Check the stats, boy, a ni**a doing huge numbеrs Got this dime piece su*kin' on my cucumbеr I ain't doin' too bad for a newcomer This life sh*t gave me scars with a bruise under, hm Certain sh*t will make you wonder (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) But that’s a part of the game we call life, love is hard to attain My lil’ brother drive a Jeep and I just bought him a chain A real ni**a what I'm is and what I always remain But this b*tch temptation keep callin’ my name I wrote this song in LA, I was driving my Benz Thinking 'bout this road I'm on to acquiring ends I'm a fu*kin’ outlier, I retire these trends ni**as told me I was stupid just for hiring friends (Huh, but, uh) [Chorus] I used to dream about a Dodge Charger Suicide doors, sittin' on 24's I was tryna find a job, but sh*t, why bother? Being broke can make you try harder Sittin' in the house watchin' Coach Carter Plottin' on this fu*kin' Cartier, hey Plus a ni**a tryna go farther I finally arrived and nobody's here, hey [Verse 2] Okay Listen to these proverbs, the odd words we call rap music That took me all across the globe, watch people react to it Figments of imagination, couldn't fathom elation Ain't describable with words, so I'll go illustrate it Illustrious rhymin' career, for which my rhymes are revered Clear signs of alignment shows my timing is near We all here for an assignment, severals souls that are migrant Simply vessels in this climate, solitary confinement I break free every time that I wake My fate bleeds and create seeds that eventually blossom to trees Getting rid of all the extra sh*t I thought I would need I put your head on the swivel, wear my heart on the sleeve But just breathe, the simple exercise can even rectify Our greatest sins, although my days won't end next to God I atone for all of my wrongs throughout songs But let him who is without sin go cast the first stone, motherfu*ker [Chorus] I used to dream about a Dodge Charger (Dodge Charger) Suicide doors, sittin' on 24's I was tryna find a job, but sh*t, why bother? Being broke can make you try harder Sittin' in the house watchin' Coach Carter Plottin' on this fu*kin' Cartier, hey Plus a ni**a tryna go farther I finally arrived and nobody's here, hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
