[J Cole]
Look, I just shed tears homie
And now I ain't to proud to admit it
Just seen my father for the first time in a minute
And when I say a minute I mean years man, d***
A whale could have swam in them tears fam
Cause as I left him I reflected on my youngerI days
When it was just me and my brother and my mother played father
Cause no other man bothered
Not even my biological
It never seemed logical
But I accepted it cause I ain't know no better
Thought I was brighter than a polo sweater
No pops was like Martin with no Coretta
So many things you could have told me
And saved me the trouble
So it may be that anger's to blame
But that's no excuse
Only you and God know the truth
And why you only ?
Spending Summer with you and playing
With my cousin Maury
Maybe I should be telling you f*** you
Cause you selfish
But I want a father so bad, I can't help it
I break down, I break down
Can't help but break down
I never thought I'd see my mama on that s*** man
f***** with her body, now she sit down
I wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a pool
Who would have ever thought that it would come to this, man?
Quicksand is what this life feel like
That s*** these rappers kick is nothing like real life
You made a milli off of serving hard white? Yeah right..
My mama tell you what sticking to that pipe feel like
Stupid n*****, ain't heard of coppers shooting n*****?
I swear to god, wish I could bulletproof my n*****
Can't get no jobs, but they still recruiting n*****
We tryna stand tall when it gets to crucial n*****
Break down! We break down..
Serving time, lie down
And she don't want nobody to know
It started 25 pounds
By the time he get out, she gonna be 4
Now will his girl stay down?
Ain't no doubt, yeah she love him fo sho
But temptation stays round
And if she strayed, how could he ever know?
And so, she goes to the club on the weekend
A little freakin, them n***** holla
But tonight I see the devil creepin
Cause she been lonely, she ain't felt a man in 7 seasons
d***! She do the best that she can
Her mama telling her to find another man
She college educated with a felon boyfriend
That's what she thinking tonight
Maybe she's ripe for pleasing..
Stay down mama! Gotta be strong, don't break down mama!
Please..
