J. Cole - February 10th Freestyle lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm the gardener of the yard of snakes And only time will tell if I'll be great I can help it, Everywhere I go, I'm fashionably late But this a special occasion, where the hell is my cake? 20 years on this Earth & it ain't up for debate I got raw talent in me, Time to let it escape So raw, you can cut it like you cutting a steak But watch out for the blood cause this sh** is contagious Some of y'all need to catch it cause y'all music outrageous Nowadays all y'all n***as going through the same phases Question, why you don't stick to the basics? Second thought, don't worry this the year of the ACES More cla**ics on the way, All I need is your patience New semester started so I'm posted up in the Ville And if I get a record deal, So be it dreams come true But here's one thing I'll never ever let 'em do [Hook: J. Cole] Don't give 'em too much you Don't let 'em take control It's one thing you do Don't let 'em taint your soul If you believe in God One thing's for sure If you ain't aim too high Then you aim too low [Verse 2] I feel ya Cole, If you ain't aiming high...What you aiming for? Opportunity gone knock, just hope I'm home to get the door A lyrical genius, thanks to the greats though Lazy n***as stealing answers, Copying each others flow And it's getting out of hand The people want that real, & Trust me I understand Just need a little support, could you be my kickstand? Taking over the game slow like I got it in quicksand When I was stressed out, My momma helped me realize I'm on this Earth for a reason...reason that I gotta find Only regret I got, is ever making her cry Young & Dumb, Hated trouble, So I felt I had to lie (krazy a** lies) Grew up, no longer that guy My father taught me great morals imma use until i die "These labels won't taint my soul" too much pride Won't make a deal with the Devil no matter how hard he try As I look back on my life, safe to say I was blessed And if your friend ain't heard of me...Tell 'em that I'm the best (Yeah I said best) Who better? I will finish the rest, then show up to their repast...as the best dressed I'm only getting older so I set myself a nice goal And if I reach it, will all depends on how the dice roll If you learn one thing from me, learn to be humble Cause you will never know the day your tower will tumble [Hook]
