[ve:3.00] |
[00:01.78] |
Freedom or jail, clips inserted |
[00:03.52] |
A baby's being born same time a man is murdered |
[00:06.00] |
The beginning and end, as far as rap goes |
[00:08.64] |
It's only natural, I explain my plateau |
[00:10.84] |
And also what defines my name |
[00:13.08] |
Yeah, long live the idols, may they never be your rivals |
[00:15.90] |
Pac was like Jesus, Nas wrote the Bible |
[00:18.78] |
Now what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of glory and sin |
[00:21.56] |
No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin |
[00:24.10] |
I ain't mad at you, young king, this unsung song is haunting |
[00:27.12] |
Along comes a one son called a offspring |
[00:29.44] |
The Earth spins, my Old Earth grin, sung a church hymn |
[00:32.40] |
She birthed in September, took my first wind, again, the Earth spins |
[00:35.84] |
I jumped in my first Benz, fled out, lead out |
[00:38.67] |
Screams got in the game and took bread out |
[00:40.66] |
The nerve of these niggas, weak flow, yo Cole let's murder this sequel |
[00:43.84] |
Freedom or jail from Fayetteville to QB though |
[00:46.66] |
Cause back when I was young there was massive niggas |
[00:48.96] |
But I passed them niggas, just being nasty nigga |
[00:51.98] |
Military hat, fatigue pants sagging, Henny'd up |
[00:54.81] |
Execs asking will he live to see his own release date happen |
[00:57.82] |
Straight off the corner with the armor, arm and hammer |
[00:59.07] |
But I had a appeal, I was a charmer |
[01:03.16] |
Yet still being my mama's son was my biggest honor |
[01:06.26] |
This shit was just kinda just a hobby in my project lobby |
[01:09.08] |
We was trying to be the Queensbridge Cosby's |
[01:11.69] |
But the street life robbed me of that, so I had to put it in raps |
[01:14.86] |
And who could I ask for help? Older niggas was getting mad |
[01:17.89] |
But that's the gift and the curse, that's the good and the bad |
[01:20.66] |
At least you got Jay, but he already one of the greats |
[01:23.48] |
And it's hard for the great to tell somebody how to be great |
[01:26.47] |
Nigga I tried and niggas threw that shit right back in my face |
[01:29.10] |
They took my cosign, but they ain't let me EP their tapes |
[01:32.12] |
And when they joint tanked, that's when they point blame |
[01:34.91] |
So point blank, young Cole, you won't be the same |
[01:37.90] |
The first album freedoms and them fourth album pressures |
[01:40.72] |
A big difference between 'em but I get why you said it |
[01:43.34] |
Radio records are needed, I just wanted it to bring the warning |
[01:46.48] |
Global warming to that cold world you was breathing |
[01:48.83] |
That's some advice I never got |
[01:51.24] |
If I don't sell another record, I'll just steady rock |
[01:53.78] |
While you was writing down my rhymes I was just trying to show you |
[01:56.66] |
That if you say what's on your mind, you can stand the test of time |
[01:59.56] |
Now I'm playing Born Sinner loud, saw you live, rock the crowd |
[02:03.19] |
Like wow, you made your nigga Nas proud |
[02:05.52] |
So you ain't let Nas down |
[02:08.12] |
It's just part of the game, becoming a rap king, my nigga |
[02:11.24] |
You ain't let Nas down |
[02:13.71] |
How that sound? Here the crown, pass it to you like nothing, nigga |
[02:17.17] |
You ain't let Nas down |
[02:18.18] |
Long live the idols, may they never be your rivals |
[02:20.26] |
Slick Rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the Bible |
[02:23.03] |
Now what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of glory and sin |
[02:25.52] |
Large Professor's my mentor, that's how the story end |
