J. Cole - A Tale of 2 Cousinz lyrics

(Intro) Imma one take this (Verse 1) Goal of the year is to hit it so hard that you think I got a ghost writer Other rappers jealous because I flow tighter Jumping over these bars like a f**ing harlem globetrotter When Tyrone and I hit it, you know these views go right up If ya girls an artist I'll probably cosign her Right before I go inside her I don't spend moneys on hoes When they clothes already so designer So you can spoil her, leave her back for me to find her It's easy to f**ing steal your girl When ya'll look like you belong on grindr Tyrone and I taking shots like a fighter pilot Grinding until a both of us have a private island Until i got a billboard column as the hottest humble and most talented artist We've come a long way since chubby cousins with friendly competition Sitting in a parking lots, with freestyles we never finished 3 years later we got better through repetition Nobody can really get at us, we both handle our business Man this is just a tale of 2 citiez I knew a girl that really f**ed with me, her game was so tricky And I guess I got a bit deep She took my breathe away, goddamn it I miss you Nikki But you would have put me in the grave Yeah Tyrone and I have seen two different sides of the same place Look through my eyes and you'll see that half of the world just ain't safe I learned quick even though I came late Don't trust no one, cause its rare to find someone honest, cause out here to keep it 100, ya'll gotta start conflict Ain't that ironic, no need to throw punches don't need to be Adonis But when you're down hip hops the only one there like it's just me and the chronic Forest Hills Drive, got me up vibing at 5 A tale of 2 citiez got me waiting for a ride Without hip hop I'd just be waiting to die But I'm okay cause I know its going to be alright And when I wake up, I realise that I'm rhyming to the wrong beat Homies thinking they kings so I walk up to throne like motherf**er why you sitting in the wrong seat? Goddamn I should put a few ex girls in the hot seat Throw a shout to Drake and start talking about how they wronged me, and why they ain't call me Goddamn Rashad why you gotta be so salty? Half of these girls be so f**ing dumb And they just craving someones love White girls that would vote Donald Trump Nah I wanna see Kanye in the office With no secretary gossip You know hes on some boss sh** Thats always been my hypothesis Finally a leader who f**ing competent I like someone reckless who doesn't care about the consequence sh**, Saint was probably born cause he couldn't be bothered asking Kim where the condoms went Should't be dissing all these fake homies But I ain't ever keeping it anonymous Receiving major hate, you know we receiving a lot of it But I guess that I'll admit It's cause Chandra and I produce the hottest sh** Oath to a modest b**h, but you crazy as f** Wondering what I'm up to, pulling some reconnaissance I ain't really ever thought of this But when it comes to girls I've always been pretty blind with it, But when it comes to the beat I've been the sickest like I have some f**ing sinuses I'm on a creative wave and I guess I'm gonna keep riding it, Reading the rap bible I just want to f**ing write in it Or at least f**ing die with it (Verse 2) Last night I had a bad dream Like I've stopped moving forward in this maad scene At the party on the floor, call me a taxi sh** I don't remember that night why the f** you ask me I've been known for brutal honesty But imma k** this sh** like it was my last beat Tyrone and I collab, thats everyones f**ing fantasy Won't stop rising until we reach the f**ing canopy I ain't had the best cards but I dealt with what was handed to me Ever since the womb, my lifes been insanity Trying to pave my own, don't care who's really mad at me So I'll be happy when I'm 28 and i got that 9th spot Jump 2pac up to 2, and put first up with kdot I'm just moving forward I ain't ever gonna look back again If you f**ed me over, stop pretending that it was an accident, These hoes and fake homies give me a headache so hand me another aspirin I really don't want to ask again I want to keep flowing cause I feel as though all my rhymes are inadequate Until I get world recognition I cannot quit, good guy turned bad, Call me Anakin Still the sickest like I'm just releasing hallogens That's just my detailed an*lysis I've been crafting my art until my hands got callouses But its christmas so tonight lets just smoke cannabis No one else produces any fire, so to stay warm I had to bring a heat pack Goddamn it J Cole bring the f**ing beat back Father forgive me for my childish habits I'd k** this beat if Tboy let me, but he ain't hire an a**a**in But listen to his fire, your seat belts you should fasten I appeal to the ma**es To rap and nicotine Tyrone and I have always been addicts I've been pa**ionate since to pimp a bu*terfly Determined to be realer than every other privileged guy And I don't say the n word cause I'm not black and I'm not living another lie But we were both were slaves to the white man, we ain't so different you and I Man ain't this something, this collab sh** is what I'm loving, Teezus and I 2k16 just be buzzing Sorry not sorry to past girls I won't be hugging Avoiding the drama Cause we all just Rose right above it Put me in the court, ya'll know that I want to sub in Coming to you from a Tale of 2 different Cousinz
