the let out

J. Cole

Step, step
Step, step
Will I make it home? (Step)
Will I make it home? (Step)
Only God knows (Step)
Only God knows (Step)

Inside of the club, on a wall, she was right there beside me
Couldn t tell there was danger around me
Damn, she blinded me
Please watch your step, I heard from a concerned gentlemen
He was bout my age
With a face that displayed he was genuine
Be safe, he said
Heard niggas who was loud in the hallway
By the bathroom door
They was plottin on you and your compadres
So I sobered up quick with a heightened sense of fear in me
What the fuck you doin in the Ville with no security?
Yeah, they ll say they love you
But trust, that don t mean anything
Somebody gon hate you, for what? It could be anything
The way that you walk, you talk
The way that you rap, you know
The way that you put on the Ville
But you barely come back no more
My radar is up, I notice this dude with his hat real low
The vibe is negative, I m telling shawty, We got to go
And at the same moment, I swear that the lights came on
The DJ was yellin some shit on the microphone, he said

Yeah, you ain t got to go home
(Oh, you ain t got to go back home)
But you gotta get the?but you gotta get the fuck out of here
Fuck out of here, fuck out of here, fuck out of here
(But you can t stay, can t stay)
When the lights come on
(Yeah, when those lights start turning on)
Everybody, get the?everybody, get the fuck out of here
Fuck out of here, fuck out of here, fuck out of here
(You can t stay, can t stay, can t stay)

Oh, will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out? Will we survive the let out?
Oh, will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out? Will we survive the?

She got the type of thang you can t even find no more
They play the type of games I don t be around no more
I see some niggas that tyin bandanas on they face
Hop in the trunk, that s where the hammers always lay
I m tryna find a way to get to the parking spot
Feel like a mile away, I got to get off the block
Shawty done stopped and put her hands around my waist
And told me, I want you (Damn)

Step (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, not right now, right now, no)
Yes, it happened to me, my nigga
(Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking
Let s go this way, right here)
And please believe me when I tell you
It can happen to you (Niggas on some weird shit)

Proceed with caution, thinkin they stalkin your moves
Pistols be sparkin , leaving your thoughts on your shoes
Outside of the club paranoid, with keys in my hand
Heard the shots ring out, full survival instincts, we ran

Will I make it home? (Will I make it home?)
Will I make it home? (Will I make it home?)
Only God, only God, only God knows
Will I make it home? (Will I make it home?)
Will I make it home? (Will I make it home?)
Only God knows, only God knows if I ma ever get back to you

Oh, will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out? Will we survive the let out?
Oh, will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out? Will we survive the let out?

In a hood near you (In a hood near you)
There s a late-night gathering of souls
In the parking lot shortly after the club close
Cause niggas don t wanna go home
But it won t be long fore somebody start wildin
Shots start firin , and good times turn violent
At the let out

Oh, will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out? Will we survive the let out?
Oh, will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out?
Will we survive the let out? Will we survive the let out?
