[00:01.000] 作曲 : Andre Thomas/Timothy Thomas/Kunihiko Murai/Yumi Arai/Jermaine Cole
[00:22.850]The real is back, the ville is back
[00:24.910]Flow bananas here, peel this back
[00:27.850]And what you'll find is, your highness
[00:29.630]Can paint a picture that is vivid enough to cure blindness
[00:32.280]Carolina's finest
[00:34.020]You knew that already
[00:35.240]And turned to the greatest, I proved that already
[00:37.220]And if you would like, I do it twice
[00:39.200]I just sharpen my blade for a minute but came lost in my ways
[00:42.310]This for my *****s that was tossin' the graves
[00:44.750]Every so often I fade deep in my thoughts and get lost in the days
[00:48.100]We used to play before your coffin was made
[00:50.100]Just got the call ***** got caught with a straight
[00:52.990]Hope he's okay
[00:54.170]Just got paid what Cochran got paid to free OJ
[00:56.970]Just to share my life on the stage in front of strangers
[00:59.870]Who know a ***** fall to well, and that's the danger
[01:02.580]Know me better than I know myself
[01:04.510]I rip a page out my notebook in anger
[01:07.250]And let these thoughts linger singing
[01:08.270][Hook]
[01:08.580]Don't give 'em too much you
[01:10.010]Don't let 'em take control
[01:14.220]This one thing you do
[01:17.130]Don't let 'em taint your soul
[01:19.890]If you believe in God
[01:22.740]One things for sure
[01:25.530]If you ain't aim too high
[01:28.430]Then you aim too low
[01:30.530][Verse 2]
[01:32.170]What's the price for a black man life?
[01:33.710]I check the toe tag, not one zero in sight
[01:36.360]I turn the TV on, not one hero in sight
[01:39.320]Unless he dribble or he fiddle with mics
[01:41.560]Look out the window cause tonight the city lit up with lights, cameras and action
[01:45.320]May no man alive come through and damage my faction
[01:48.110]I brought you ***** with me cause I love you like my brothers
[01:50.860]And your mothers' like my mother
[01:52.100]Think we need a plan of action
[01:53.890]The bigger we get the more likely egos collide
[01:56.480]It's just physics, please let's put our egos aside
[01:59.240]You my *****s, and should our worst tenancies turn us into enemies
[02:02.700]I hope that we remember these
[02:04.950]Nights fulla Hennessey
[02:06.170]When Hov aroun we switch up to that D'usse
[02:08.160]Gotta show respect, one day we tryna stay where you stay
[02:11.210]Cause we from where you from
[02:12.530]I'm not talkin' bout the slums
[02:14.880]I'm talkin' 'bout that mind state that keep a black ***** dumb
[02:16.460]Keep a black ***** dyin' by a black ***** gun
[02:19.220]And keep on listening to the frontin' ass rap *****s son
[02:21.550]Yeah I said son
[02:23.150]This is New York's finest
[02:24.600]For 11 winters straight I took on New York's climate
[02:27.370]Like show me New York's ladder
[02:29.060]I climb it and set the bar so high that you gotta get Obama to force the air force to find it
[02:33.590]Never mind it, you'll never reach that
[02:35.360]Cole is the hypnotist, control the game whenever he snap
[02:38.300]That's every track
[02:41.800]Don't give 'em too much you
[02:42.660]Don't let 'em take control
[02:45.040]This one thing you do
[02:48.040]Don't let 'em taint your soul
[02:50.830]If you believe in God
[02:53.730]One things for sure
[02:56.520]If you ain't aim too high
[02:59.520]Then you aim too low
[03:02.930]I ain't serve no pies, I ain't slang no ****
[03:05.720]I ain't bring no lies, *****s sang my quotes
[03:08.050]I ain't play no games, boy I ain't no joke
[03:10.990]Like the great Rakim, when I make my notes
[03:13.840]You *****s might be L or you might be Kane
[03:16.780]Or you might be Slick Rick with 19 chains
[03:19.680]Or you might be Drizzy Drake or Kendrick Lamar
[03:22.830]But check your birth date *****, you ain't the God
[03:25.530]Nah you ain't the God
[03:29.890]***** Cole the God
