J. Cole - Willow Tree lyrics

[Hook: J.I.D] Knowing what I know, I got to pray, I got to hope, I got to say I'm gonna make it out Going with the flow, I got a plant inside my hands, I'm on my knees, I got to pray to God, yeah And I don't see no other way, I gotta make it out, yeah Can't live like this another day, I gotta make it out Knowing what I know, I got to pray, I got to hope, I got to say I'm gonna make it out Going with the flow, I got a plant inside my hands, I'm on my knees, I got to pray to God, yeah And I don't see no other way, I gotta make it out, yeah Can't live like this another day, I gotta make it out [Verse 1] My people know perception is a clever disguise Steady we roll, steady we navigate through the sky Always been told "you better hurry, get out alive" Oh where to go? No where to run to protect your hide What if you hold, crumbled and cracked on a couple lies It was still gone Now you wonder where you fit in the file, better press on Better hope that double click save your life Gotta make it out Shedding my skin, preparing to die [Refrain] Here we go, here we go We already know life can get difficult Shake my head, ain't you headed for typical Breaking bread with my n***as from years ago, years ago Here we go, here we go We already know life can get difficult Shake my head, ain't you headed for typical Breaking bread with my n***as from years ago, years ago [Verse 2] Bleeding led us cop the tone, now I'm sleeping better Mama calling on the phone, I forget to text her Loose sleep, cry week, buy weekly I talk to God, I don't see him, but I need it I've been running out of rope for a minute I watch this dirt turn to gold in a minute I grab a sow and it's written Sit and wish and top it, just hold for a n***a I'm feeling low, I'ma blow a whole O for my n***as [Hook] Knowing what I know, I got to pray, I got to hope, I got to say I'm gonna make it out Going with the flow, I got a plant inside my hands, I'm on my knees, I got to pray to God, yeah And I don't see no other way, I gotta make it out, yeah Can't live like this another day, I gotta make it out [Refrain] Here we go, here we go We already know life can get difficult Shake my head, ain't you headed for typical Breaking bread with my n***as from years ago, years ago Here we go, here we go We already know life can get difficult Shake my head, ain't you headed for typical Breaking bread with my n***as from years ago, years ago
