| [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 |
