hunger on hillside with bas

J. Cole

[J. Cole:]
Alright now, alright now
God has a plan for you
And all you ve got to do is believe, believe, believe
Yeah

Shit gon get hard, keep your head strong
If I quit now, then I m dead wrong
Fightin off this hunger for hours
Big stepper, nigga, don t get stepped on
The money might fade, but respect don t
Still gon be me when success gone
I don t speak the language of cowards
I walk through the flame like I m Teflon

I sucked up the pain and I kept goin
Whole world know my name, bitch, my rep strong
We sold out in less than a hour
These words I still sang like I m slept on
I sin, so I can t cast the next stone
Unless it s baguettes round my neck bone
Inside of my frame lies a power
You can t get this game from no TED Talk
I wanna know if they understand me
I put it all on A, ain t no plan B
Hopin all this weight ain t gon drown me
Fucked around, got grey hairs already
Runnin up the stairs on a tower
Runnin up these Ms by the hour
If I drop a gem, money showers
When you get your taste, they get sour

[J. Cole (James Fauntleroy) :]
Shit gon get hard, keep your head strong
(Just keep your head strong)
The money might fade, but respect don t
(The ultimate price is regret now)
Still gon be me when success gone
(Still gon be me, ahh-ahh-ahh)
Big stepper, nigga, don t get stepped on

[J. Cole:]
Waitin my turn like grains of sand inside a hourglass
Mainly concerned back in the day with how long I would last
Make a few thousand dollars stack with every hour passed
I catch you playin inside my lane and I ma foul your ass
Put the whole game on top my back, don t need no chiropract
They callin me young PWC, I got my power back
Ain t fuckin around, beefin with me gon get you hollered at
Niggas can t see me one-on-one, that s word to Kyla Pratt
You hittin them weights, congratulations cause you built somethin
You takin a lot of boxin lessons, but you still pussy
I see right through you niggas just like 2Pac hologram
Ain t doin Coachella, bookin me gon be a lot of Ms
I m feeling myself, I m building my wealth up til it s towerin
I put my tongue all in my bitch, she get to hollerin
I ain t doin no dirt no more, I stopped creepin six years ago
Fun fuckin them hoes
until you realize that you is the ho

Shit gon get hard, keep your head strong
If I quit now then I m dead wrong
Fightin off this hunger for hours
Big stepper, nigga, don t get stepped on
The money might fade, but respect don t
Still gon be me when success gone
I don t speak the language of cowards
I walk through the flame like I m Teflon

[James Fauntleroy:]
Can t be afraid of sunlight
Spotlights when it close
All the pain you hold
Makes you worth your weight in gold
Can t be afraid of sunlight
Spotlights when it close
All the pain you hold
Makes you worth your weight in gold
God has a plan for you
And all you ve got to do is believe, believe, be?
