[00:02.95]Lyrics by：J. Cole
[00:04.95]Composed by：J. Cole
[00:07.83]Produced by：DZL/Omen/J. Cole
[00:16.21]My ****** be smoking on something loud
[00:19.27]Head to the cloudz
[00:20.87]I ain't been steppin out tired of sticking out in the crowd
[00:24.99]This world is changing
[00:27.64]Right in front of me
[00:29.13]Gray hairs I'm aging
[00:31.42]Quicker than I thought I'd be
[00:34.82]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[00:39.08]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[00:43.26]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[00:47.39]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[00:50.32]Please believe these flows teach egos
[00:52.14]To freeze and then recede I'm C4
[00:54.16]Beneath your Jeep the second you turn that keyhole
[00:56.22]Then heat blows your weak flows right out the water
[00:58.31]The father boy I work smarter and harder
[01:00.47]My style got a restraining order don't bother
[01:02.62]I charter unseen territories in order
[01:04.72]To push it farther than you ****** had ever thought of
[01:06.72]I caught a lotta murder charges turned artists
[01:08.86]To martyrs when I rock thot turns to goddess
[01:11.00]Fiends turn to kings dreams turn to things tangible
[01:13.61]My hands are full with grands I pulled
[01:15.21]From stanzas no I can't go slow
[01:16.82]I'm Sandra Bull either proceed with speed or don't breathe
[01:19.59]There's no creed or color that won't heed
[01:21.30]To the warning the planet'll shake when I'm performing
[01:23.53]Tectonic plates from a place where Tecs on their waist
[01:25.74]So stay safe or get left with chest on your face
[01:27.81]As death waits for your last of breath
[01:29.41]I'ma pass the test yes I'm a master chef
[01:31.42]Want a taste then pay for it
[01:32.80]They claim they're real but they're seldom straightforward
[01:34.88]The pain I feel on my frame gets transmuted to a dangerous flame
[01:37.70]I spit fire at the devil while the angels sang
[01:39.85]The flow changed but Jermaine's the same I'm Plain Jane
[01:42.00]Not a chain on my neck but shine like baguettes
[01:44.30]A shame not a flex to rhyme like the rest
[01:46.31]My mind's quite depressed if I don't write these
[01:48.22]I'm Spike Lee of the audio back in my barrio
[01:50.82]Parties got shot up so I built up all my cardio
[01:52.91]Dodge shells collect coins like I'm Mario
[01:54.83]But this is not a gaming experience I'm serious *****
[01:58.25]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[02:02.53]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[02:06.69]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[02:10.88]Straight up straight up straight up yeah
[02:12.95]My ****** be smoking on something loud head to the clouds
[02:17.83]I ain't been steppin' out tired of sticking out in the crowd
[02:21.93]This world is changing right in front of me
[02:26.06]Gray hairs' I'm aging quicker than I thought I'd be
[02:30.08]I'm that bass in your trunk the bullet that missed Trump
[02:32.14]The gun that jammed 'cause it seemed God had other plans
[02:34.19]The Son of Man extending his hand to Son of Sam
[02:36.32]In forgiveness for all of the homicides we witnessed
[02:38.50]The overdramatized the traumatized with sickness
[02:40.70]Thrown in the pan and caramelized for richness
[02:42.76]And served on a plate with sirloin steak
[02:44.60]To billionaires who don't care the world's gon' break
[02:46.59]Long as they make money off it pain brings profit
[02:48.82]One man gains it soon as the next man lost it
[02:50.94]There's a bridge you can walk to hear God talk
[02:53.02]But there are real slim odds a rich man crosses
[02:55.28]'Cause greed is a poisonous seed indeed
[02:57.25]As it spreads like weeds through the mind's apple trees
[02:59.23]I proceed with caution and I'm not flossing
[03:01.49]Unlike some I'm not defined by my fortune
[03:03.45]I'm defined by rhymes though I'm in my prime
[03:05.57]There was times that I was down 'cause I'd thought I'd lost it
[03:07.65]But no low and behold as my poetry grows
[03:09.69]I give all glory to God as the story unfolds
[03:11.75]And the gray hairs that grow on my head will show
[03:13.82]Ain't no time limit to get it you ain't never too old
[03:15.94]So keep hold of your dreams no matter how it seems
[03:18.04]If you don't water your lawn well then it won't stay green
[03:19.99]I seen babies turn fiends addicted to the screen
[03:22.12]Their dad shares cashiers replaced by machines
[03:24.37]Don't buy subscribe so you can just stream
[03:26.26]Your content like rent you won't own a thing
[03:28.34]Before long all the songs the whole world sings'll
[03:30.66]Be generated by latest of AI regimes
[03:32.63]As all of our favorite artists erased by it scream
[03:34.61]From the wayside "ayy whatever happened to human beings?"
[03:39.20]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[03:43.29]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[03:47.44]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[03:51.78]Straight up straight up straight up straight up straight up
[03:53.60]My ****** be smoking on something loud
