J. COLE - Song For The Ville lyrics
rate meYeah, yeah
You could turn me back down, I'm good
Aye aye, yeah, yeah
I'm good right there ya'll, yeah
Them real niggas can relate
Yeah yeah
Them real niggas can relate man (Aye)
Carolina stand up!
Yeah
Aye!
Aye baby tell me have you ever seen a nigga chasin' dreams? (Yeah)
Leavin' everything he love behind to make them scream
Kisses his momma on the cheek, say, "Don't worry I'll be back"
"I gotta get you out this shit, I'm a hurry, I'll speed back"
You see, that's the type of shit the boy be thinkin' when he dreamin'
And he don't pay no mind to them niggas that's disagreein'
Sayin, "Nigga, is you crazy? "
Them same ones that's talkin' be the same ones not doin' shit,
"Aye, nigga is you lazy? "
Or is you scared to follow dreams? I know you gotta have one
The opportunities be in yo' face, you gotta grab one nigga
But while you're bullshittin', I'll be woodgrippin' gettin' welcomed
On the road to riches, God help him
I'll holla at ya'll niggas when I see you, wouldn't wanna be you
Cus you fear what I don't, see this here is what I want
So I'm a get it poppin', I'm rockin' despite the obstacles
Look, my nigga what you call impossible is possible
Aye, tell my niggas to keep they heads up
We made it too damn far just to give it up
And we way too strong
This is a song for the Ville
Yeah, yeah
And baby don't cry, you know I'm comin' back
I did it for the city, gotta get up on the map
And I know we gon' shine
This is a song for the Ville
Yeah (AYE!)
I thank the Lord for my many blessings
Though I'm stressin', I know it's temporary
Starin' at my granny obituary
She almost made it to 80 before they buried
Damn! Can't even tell you I'm sure I'll to make it to 30
Cus you never know! Sometimes life takes a turn for the worst
Is you holdin' on to will, or did you let it go?
Heaven knows I'm tryna hold on
So every night I pray and hope my life is prolonged
The journey seemed so long but hold up! Don't take me up!
I got big dreams nigga, ya'll can't wake me up!
Life's a bitch but death don't break me up, I got too much to live for
It seems too many niggas die with way too much potential
Gotta get up out this trap even if I got to scrap
I'll lay a nigga down flat before I'll let him hold me back
Ya see I ain't afraid of obstacles
But what you niggas call impossible is possible
Yeah, so aye
Aye, tell my niggas to keep they heads up
We made it too damn far just to give it up
And we way too strong
This is a song for the Ville
Aye, aye
And baby don't cry, you know I'm comin' back
I did it for the city, gotta get up on the map
And I know we gon' shine
This is a song for the Ville
Yeah (AYE!)
Aye some niggas take they life for granted, wastin' time
Time is money my nigga, I cannot waste a dime
Or a minute, too much business to handle to be sleepin'
Too much spinach to eat for niggas beefin',
So I'm out here trick or treatin', can my niggas comprehend?
Bill Gates, Donald Trump, motherfucker let me in
Stop hatin' that's a sin, why these niggas so sinful?
I guess they hate to love a nigga, yes it's that simple
As I ride through the city, feelin' lucky to be breathin'
I know a couple peers that didn't make it to the season, poured out
See I believe that things happen for a reason, no doubt
Strange times, as I watch these niggas throw they gang signs, and they strapped
Crypt or Blood, nigga we all black
From the same city, the same schools we was taught at
Aye fuck the drawbacks and obstacles
Man what them teachers call impossible is possible nigga
Yeah
Aye, tell my niggas to keep they heads up
We made it too damn far just to give it up
And we way too strong
This is a song for the Ville
Aye, aye
Aye baby don't cry, you know I'm comin' back
I did this for the city, gotta get up on the map
And I know we gon' shine
Uh, this is a song for the Ville
Yeah yeah (AYE!)
Aye
Aye, tell my niggas to keep they heads up
We made it too damn far just to give it up now
And we way too strong
This is a song for the Ville
Yeah yeah
So baby don't cry, you know I'm comin' back
I did this for the city, gotta get up on the map
And I know we gon' shine (I know we gon' shine)
This is a song for the Ville
Yeah (AYE!)
Yeah yeah yeah!
