Get It - J. Cole
Gotta get my groove back, you know?
It's been a little minute,
Yea
Yeah
Uh,
Label me greedy, but see me finish what Petey started,
From Carolina where n_ggas spray like graffiti artists,
The south n_gga, n_ggas used to think we retarded,
And slow as hell, but well well, now we regarded as the n_ggas. (yea)
I f_ck with non rapping n_ggas, non clapping n_ggas,
N_ggas is real, y'all is action figures. (ha)
Ain't into acting bigger than I really am,
Ain't no two ways around it, motherf_cker I'm the man.
Where the beef at?
Back in the days I ain't even go out for recess,
A n_gga don't play, man, I been living okay.
Been up in Queens where they 'rid of those foes,
And n_ggas GATs got bodies like video hoes.
It's J.Cole, you not f_cking with just any old flow.
I'm like the '95 Penny, you like Penny '04,
No disrespect to my favorite player,
N_ggas praying a n_gga never see the day a n_gga rich,
So I'm slaying n_ggas, yea.
[Chorus:]
This is for my n_ggas tryna make it,
Watch out for them evil ass n_ggas tryna take it, uh,
They love to see a n_gga dead up, in jail,
Living in a world where we set up to fail,
But I'm a get it, n_gga I'm finna to get it.
I'm a get it, n_gga I'm finna to get it.
Yeah
I'm a get it, n_gga I'm finna to get it. (yea)
I'm a get it, n_gga I gotta get it.
N_ggas in the streets, no,
N_ggas blessed beats,
I got that priest flow, heavenly.
You gonna cross over if he reach for the rock,
Just a figure a speech for the glock,
From the Ville, where police know the heat flow a lot. (yea)
Like our beats yo, it's hot,
N_ggas laid out,
Caught a fake n_gga centerfield it's cause they played out,
Watch our boys fade out, n_ggas tryna hate,
If he only knew my d_ck's in his dame's mouth,
Just made out, came out the woodworks,
Now they tryna peep a n_gga footwork.
I'm getting real green, y'all n_ggas playing on some good turf,
Fake money, scared money, never make money,
And a n_gga never fear nothing but God,
F_ck a facade,
I'm just focused on stuffing my pockets up with them wads and sh_t,
Hundred thousand dollar deposit sh_t,
Been dreaming 'bout millions since a n_gga was five or six,
And so I strive, I'm the God, this some bible sh_t,
N_gga I,
Yea,
[Chorus:]
This is for my n_ggas tryna make it,
Watch out for them evil ass n_ggas tryna take it, uh,
They love to see a n_gga dead up, in jail,
Living in a world where we set up to fail,
But I'm a get it, n_gga I'm finna to get it.
I'm a get it, n_gga I'm finna to get it.
Yeah
I'm a get it, n_gga I'm finna to get it. (yea)
I'm a get it, n_gga I gotta get it.
Tell em Geppettos my n_ggas is ghettos with scarface dreams,
On the block with the hard hate, that's all they seen,
N_ggas killing n_ggas in broad day on all they screams,
Watching cops loving car chase scenes,
N_ggas arrested,
Treat us like roaches, the prison's n_gga infested.
They hate to see the day we ain't slain, n_ggas invested.
All created equal looks like equal to a less than,
Depending on your race, or depending on your address, man.
I've been blessed, was given less and but still progress, man,
I hate to see the position my n_ggas left in,
Slay dope or n_gga you slave for minimum wage,
Ashamed,
But we living in the cage, so n_gga get paid, sh_t,
How could I tell a n_gga not to hustle?
Yea it's a better life my n_gga, but it's not for us though,
Instead they wanted us to break,
They never wanted us to make it, yea,
To my n_ggas smart enough to be smart enough to take it, n_gga!
