    Produced by J. Cole
    Everything come back around full circle
    Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
    Everybody gotta cry once in a while
    But how long will it take before you smile
    This is that come back to life shit
    My niggas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
    And paint the town red for my nigga found dead to soon
    Yea
    To the left of that decimal I need 7 figures to play the joint
    Turn up your decibels peep how I decimate a joint
    Check out my projects like them workers that section 8 appoints
    And you’ll see how I flipped, like exclamation points
    My niggas shoot first as if they never played the point, more 2 guards
    Enough straps to fill four uhauls
    More death than World War II caused around these parts
    We pour the brown just to drown these thoughts
    Of black corpses in county morgues, Lord, those images hauntin
    I ain’t been sleep yet, it’s 10 in the morning
    I’m sending a warning, a problem with me is like the BET hip hop awards I’m starting to see you niggas don’t want it
    I’m sick of this flauntin, from niggas I know for sho ain’t got mo dough than Cole
    Trash rappers Ass backwards tryna go toe to toe
    We laugh at ya, staff strapped up on top the totem pole
    To blast at ya,
    Bass masters, look how they tote a pole
    Gotta know the ropes and the protocol
    Or they gon for sho blow your clothes half off like a promo code
    Made a lil tune called folding clothes, and a nigga still ain’t known to fold
    Under pressure, well you know what coal do
    Make a diamond, they just rhymin, me I’m quoting gold
    1 phone call Get you cancelled like a homophobe,
    In this PC culture, address me as the goat, like they call chief Keef Sosa, in my sectional like a fuckin 3 piece sofa
    Im known as the chosen one,
    Another dead body lay frozen that’s how it go sometimes
    When Niggas weighing coke just like the pro’s and cons
    Well I ain’t with that sleeping underground like a gopher, so I go for mines
    Everything come back around full circle
    Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
    Everybody gotta cry once in a while
    But how long will it take before you smile
    This is that come back to life shit
    My niggas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
    And paint the town red for my nigga found dead to soon
    Now I know why they call it Blue (YEAAAA)
    Survival at all costs, everyday niggas get logged off
    Bodies Get hauled off
    Passing a funeral procession While holding my breath in the car I thought
    At times it be feelin the devil be winning but do that mean god lost
    Just got off the phone with my nigga he back in the kennel my dog lost
    I brought him round close to me
    Before but he
    Became addicted to clout and all the hoes we’d meet
    I slowly peeped,
    Jealousy on his breath, whenever he spoke to me
    Like on the low he feeling like in my shoes is where he sposed to be
    I tried to ignore the signs, but there in the back of my mind it felt
    Like letting a nigga come sleep on your couch but he eating up all yo groceries
    My nigga repeated this quote to me, I felt it’s potency
    Said Most of these, niggas gon hang theyselfs, just give em the rope and see
    I headed that, and what got showed to me
    Was screaming that, some niggas you gotta leave em back unfortunately,
    We seen the trap, niggas be on that demon clock resultantly
    They fiend to clap, as often as the genius app misquotin me
    Meanwhile, I see that yo diamonds is glistening
    I’m Glad that you shining but need I remind you my niggas is diamond and nickeling
    Scraping up whatever coin they can find, the pettiest crime they committing it
    Just to get by for a limited time, the Steepest of mountains they tryna climb
    I’m here tryna find the derivative
    You niggas don’t feel me,
    You see the clout
    You don’t see the real me
    If I was sick, you niggas wouldn’t heal me
    Therefore I’m healin myself, getting in tune with my God, slowly revealing myself, building my wealth, a nigga touch mine ima kill em myself
    Everything come back around full circle
    Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
    Everybody gotta cry once in a while
    But how long will it take before you smile
    This is that come back to life shit
    My niggas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
    And paint the town red for my nigga found dead to soon
    Now I know why they call it Blue (YEAAAA)

      Difference is the rappers who flaunt the "lyrical" image are low-key trash. As far as I know, not one line is wasted in this song. Lyrical Miracles fill their songs with arbitrary big words, fast rapping, and overused flows that brings nothing new or interesting to the table. Then they got the nerve to be on a high horse

      Flybased “coke” but not “pros” and “cons”. Because coke as you know can be different things and have different meanings depending on the context it is used in. Like I want to drink a coke or I want to sniff some coke,etc. the “pros” and “cons”

    My younger brother and I always listen to jcole everyday. He recently passed away and today is his first month of not being with us. Really felt my brother in this track ngl. Makes me miss him more. Hope he was still here to listen to this masterpiece
