作曲 : J. Cole/Anderson Hernandez
Since a younglin'
always dreamed of gettin' rich
Look at me my niggas
Fantasize about a white picket fence
With some trees my niggas
Used to want a path
finder with some tints
That's all I need my niggas
Throw some 20's on that b***h
and get it rinsed
But now I see my niggas
That the worlds a lot bigger ever since
Picked up the paper
and they stay my niggas
Eddie caught a body,
I'm convinced
Anybody is a killer,
all you gotta do is push 'em to the limits
**** being timid in the Civic politickin'
with the pushers and the pimps
I'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse?
Yeah can I get a glimpse?
Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really
such a bad thing?
They robbin' niggas on the daily
Can you blame a nigga?
that ain't never had things?
Guess not, last night they pulled up
on my niggas at the light like
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air
Small town niggas Hollywood dreams
I know that everything
that glitters ain't gold
I know the shit ain't always
good as it seems
But tell me till you get it
how could you know?......
Listen up I'm about to go
and get rich
**** with me my niggas
We gon' circle round
the Ville and hit a lick
Cop some tree my niggas
And some powder, bag it up
and make it flip
You gon' see my niggas
One day we gon' graduate
and cop a brick
And that's the key my niggas
Listen up I'm bout to go and get rich
Stand back and watch
if you want to ****
Me I want my pockets fat,
a badder b***h
Tired of seein' niggas flaunt,
I wanna flaunt too nigga
Watch some rollers
in the ****in' Crown Vic
Tryna lock a nigga up,
that's what they won't do nigga
Wanna know a funny thing about this shit ?
Even if you let em' kill your dream
it'll haunt you nigga
haunt you
Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is
that really such a bad thing?
I look around like do
you wanna be another nigga,
that ain't never had things?
(What's the value of a thing?)
Guess not, last night
we pulled up on a nigga
at the light like
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air
Hands in the air now,
hands in the air
Father forgive me for my, childish ways
I look outside and all the clouds are gray
I need your hands to take me, miles away
Your wish is my command, my command,
my command, but
Before you go I've got to, warn you now
Whatever goes up surely, must come down
And you'll get your piece
but no peace, won't be found
So why just take me man,
take me man, take me man
Your wish is my command,
my command, my command
