J. Cole - The World is Empty lyrics

[Verse 1] It's Cole, won't lie, won't stop 'til the race is won n***as who be rapping how real they are Usually turn out to be the fakest ones Carolina where I made it from Cold world no blanket son Girls fast how Jamaicans run Puffing on the city where the Lakers from, L-A, L-A, la la So high everything is a “ha ha” for me Dreaming of the days of a drop 500 And a bad b**h that will go to Popeyes for me You can never tell me that I'm not hungry If you ever felt what's inside my tummy My mind wondering now, is my time running out? Is the Lord up top with a stop watch for me? Hope not [Hook] (My world is empty without you babe) (My world is empty without you) [Verse 2] A wise n***a told me don't chase that cash Follow your heart you'll make that fast Does a stripper love to shake that a** Or does she wish to erase that past? Got a n***a in her face just ga**ed Like “baby girl why you take this path?” Stack in his hand trynna make that last All she thinking bout is how to take his last Rub titties in his face and laugh Gotta try not to look fake in fact A little more money like a few more 20's When you let that n***a grab your naked a** Okay he's gone now, roll her eyes when he whispers in her ear “This ain't the life for you baby let me take you out of here" Cause [Hook] She like n***a yeah right You know how much motherf**ing money I'm making? [Verse 3] My n***as sit back blowing the L Only getting high cuz we closer to hell n***a trying to live like Hova, but well We broke and that dough coming slow as a snail Hustle hard in the snow in the hail Hit the block like a postman with mail My brother got knocked now they hold him in cells My mom broke but she posted the bail Someway, somehow n***a feeling Like the sun down even when the sun up Hear the sound out the window of the gun bust And you wonder why n***as keep the gun tucked But this how n***as was brung up A mother just trying to raise her son up 'Til a stray bullet got his lungs struck And the Governor couldn't give one f** While she singing [Hook]
