[Verse 1: Bas]
They putting prices on heads, silver or lead
I pray the scores settle 'fore the devil notice you dead
Got me smoking the potent, my eyes open and Otis, they red
Thoughts of my eye roam and words that I hoped I had said
That aunty sippin on, we missin ya
Even tho you gone, your thought alone can lift us up
This is us
Got some niggas that never call me unless they need something,
But I pick up, like, "whassup, what you need cousin?"
My niggas know that I love 'em
Give 'em roses while they can smell 'em
Cause ain't no tellin' who'll be here tomorrow
Used to borrow your digital scale
Flippin' them sales
But now it's digital dash while you're still in the past
Boy, [bad word] me when I tell you, the picture got much bigger
The swishers and dutch fill up
 [bad word] in lust with us
Momma would dissapprove, losing my way
Lost in the sauce, this bolognese is so amazing
Had a talk and she remark: "you so engaging" [bad word] game, it's all the same
I'm growing jaded
Had a couple things [bad word]  like Lonnie Lynn
But I'm too faded for conversatin'
I'm sittin' here contemplatin'

[Hook: J Cole](x2)
Time keeps slipping away, away
Another day another love song, hey
Another day another love song, hey

[Verse 2: J Cole]
Yeah
Cousin in jail again, asking me for bail again
Close when I was 12, but I was much frailer then
He was like 16, a [bad word] from the gutter and
Years ago his favorite uncle had married my mother and
Here we [bad word] #39; through the Ville like dumb and dumber and
For that summer man I swear I wish you was my brother then
Well time passed and we fell off cause you moved back home
Little did you know Jermaine done grew a new back bone
Niggas thought he wouldn't make it 'till he proved that wrong
12 years later on the radio that Who Dat song
Your homeboy bumps the Warm Up now he buggin'
Cause he looking at the cover and say " [bad word] yo that's my cousin"
And niggas looking at you like you lying but you wasn't
Next thing I know you blowing up my line all a sudden
And I'm showing love saying "yo look what I did,
Ain't [bad word] from here ever did this [bad word] this big"
But now you saying "Yo enough about you,
 [bad word] what about me, [bad word] what about me?
Oh you forgot about me?
Saying niggas showed you how to rap, now you don't know how to act
Boy I'm at the bottom you could pull a [bad word] out of that
Put me in a video, yo put me on your hottest track
Bring me on the road with you, you know 'cuz got yo back
And I'm strapped up if them niggas act up
I see you headed to the top you need to let me catch up
Please let me catch up
Won't you let me catch up man"
I'll see you when I see you
Harsh as it seems to say, I wouldn't want to be you
Bail you out for your daughter and I pray to God
[bad word] never pull your card or she won't ever get to see you

[Hook]
