J. COLE - Crunch Time (Truly Yours EP) lyrics

rate me

Tick, this is for my niggas in the 4th quarter

Just watchin that clock tick

At what point do you start seein bread?

Been out hustlin for years, shoe box right under my bed

I moved the work at my mama house and got me a little ol crib

I always fantasized if I had went to college instead

Would I be happily married instead of broke and unwed

My nigga made a major move, I said I hope for the best

I told my sister as I kissed her cheek, I’m better off dead

Cause fucking with this white it’s all been downhill like a sled

Now listen, I understand they say you make your own bed

But tell me who supply these sheets with this cheap ass thread

In denial about the feds, he can’t see past bread

I do exactly what the man in the ski mask says

Ok, these are the times, survival my only crime

I gotta be on my grind, a lot of my homies gone

Inside of me lord I know it’s a lie that we gonn be fine

But mama I’m tired of crying, just lie to me one more time

Cause it’s crunch time, cause it’s crunch time

Shit real dog, a nigga got bills

It’s crunch time, it’s crunch time

Shit real man, a nigga got bills

Look, scavenge these records of these days

Mp3’s looking for the samples to put a nigga on mtv’s

This is for niggas with empty dreams and empty jeans

Still holding on to the word maybe

Cause it’s 9 to 5 shit is driving you stirr crazy

Coming home tired just to hear from your lady

Hollering bout your baby,

Need this and need that and all you want some peace and quiet

Maybe some feedback, on these raps

Cause labels ain’t holling and niggas ain’t downloading

Nobody see your vision, they walk around blind folded

All this time, holdin on the possibilities

You step outside, you smoke a blunt and then you feel the breeze

Fuck what they talking, it ain’t like life come often

Only thing worst than death is a regret filled coffin

So travel before you die or always wonder what if

I thank the lord for this wonderful gift

Looking for striff in this crunch time

Looking for striff in this crunch time

Shit real dog, a nigga got bills

It’s crunch time,

Nigga it’s crunch time,

Shit real dog, a nigga got bills dog

I feel your pain my nigga trust me

For all my niggas out there trying to get it

A few nigga I know, a few niggas I don’t know.
