This is me, thinking to myself at 5:14 am November 15th, 2015 Sometimes I wanna say f*ck rapping I need money now I'm bout to start trapping Front me a lil ounce Have it back in 15 minutes I'm like "Boy, give me a pound I got a nigga tryna get it right now" He like "How?" I say "All you gotta know is I know niggas who tryna get it like an owl You don't know them, but they know you and it's wild Guess they know you through #TheCrew Yeah we get around" Know not to cross us, cause they bound to get a round F*ck with Cole, and you really bout to have a crooked smile I was told to make a vow that I would always stand my ground And that includes if I have to knock another nigga down Leave him in the ground, don't wanna hear another sound It's pretty clear that you the clown, court Jester I'm the king with the crown, but I'm brown in this country So I'm bound to fucking drown, I'm bound to fucking drown Let me expound It's not like I can be a, you know, a black man in today's society And express my emotions freely And still live up to the heteronormative standards Of what, like, is hegemonic masculinity in today's society, you know I can't just come out and say that... Sometimes I doubt myself and I don't think that I can make it Steady fighting demons, I'm leaving this world forsaken These niggas the same age as me and they in better places in they career Now my confidence starts to break And all y'all songs on SoundCloud got at least a thousand plays The listens you get it in hours, I get in a couple days Maybe a week or two F*ck it, at least I'm still getting paid "You a waiter at the IHOP across from where you stay" Well, okay, I need to see some brighter days And by the way, Shekinah told me a long time ago that I would find a way To be heard The studio is my personal hideaway I ain't proud of working for pennies, living the harder way That's why I think I need to flip a dime in the meantime F*ck a written rhyme, I just wanna write a check The only way I'm getting signed is if I let them change my style I swear to God, that's the only thing I'ma regret F*ck these loans and this school, I'm 19 and in debt My life's already fucked, I thought I did this shit correct It's like you study chapter 7, but chapter 8 is the test Or you miss the school bus, but your parents already left For the job that they got, cause they work and they grown They do it to pay the bills and pay back them student loans On your back, about some chores, but on your back, you got some clothes Nigga, be grateful that you got a place that you can call your home And if you don't, I mean no harm, I mean no disrespect But nowadays generation, see, we gotta chase a check Everything is "What you got and what she got" and who's is best? Competition, it's a competition better than the rest It's the system that these people got embedded in our necks Capitalism, time to play, ante up, I'm taking bets Gotta play their game to win, and like I said, I'm still in debt, nigga So I'm bout to get this fucking check, nigga Acting up right now, you bout to get knocked down and left, nigga Coley is the king in the game of life, this is chess, nigga Open up my mind and realize that I'm the best spitter Why throw it away to do some time and meet my death quicker? I thought about my actions and the things that I had done The decisions that I made, of the person I've become Is it worth it, living by the streets, dying by the gun? I don't know But I know if I don't blow up as a rapper Then for sure I'll be an actor with a show Lo and behold, I'ma chase the gold even when I'm running slow And if you ain't know me when I was broke Then you can't call me Cole It's Coley to all you new niggas With TC, that's #TheCrew, nigga Shoutout to Jr. for letting me borrow this beat Inspired by K. Lamar, this is my ROTC And I'm the rapper of the crew
