Acid Rain

[J. Cole]

It ain’t hard to tell, I excel and prevail

Young *****s rising hell but talk well

Make sales, I managed to re-fake jail

Blast on the road to success was unpaved land

But here we are, breathing, **** demons

Never get caught sleeping, I’d rather be caught dreaming

Now me and my *****s be flying across seas

Laughing at the days we used to rack tall T’s

Now we rock shows up in London, wondering

How they even heard of me

Never did occur to me if I get to the top one day

Lotta *****s gonna be sending shots my way

Could’ve been the worst that I shot then say

Across the bear hoes you never got complain

One day, though, some day is on

One day you’re here, next day you’re gone

Wake up with the fear of living for another day

Tell myself that it’s nothing that I can’t take

Your strength is the sickness I can’t hide

I try to be invisible to him

Make no noise, tip toe through everything

Hell’s fury feeds the fear inside

It’s like acid rain in a hurricane

Might hear your call to bring you cover

It’s a crown of thorns leaving me torn

Might hear your call to bring you cover

I made choices that I cannot live with

I regret not choosing over him

I’m suffocating in this life

Don’t know if I can survive this weather

And you turn up with your arms and umbrella

I send a farewell tonight

It’s like acid rain in a hurricane

Might hear your call to bring you cover

It’s a crown of thorns leaving me torn

Might hear your call to bring you cover

[J. Cole]

My life could be a movie let me write the script

It would be something truly never read like a crypt

Learn it with clothes full of hoes like a pimp

Far from a flower but I rose like a blimp

Now who we gonna cast for the roles in this flick?

Only bad hoes getting shows for the tricks

Who gonna play the lead, though? Will Smith? Maybe

Second thought, **** it, ain’t nobody gonna play me

Yo, some day is on, one day you’re here, next day you’re gone

One day you’re here, next day you’re gone

I know the risk has come, I know I can run into your arms

I know you’ll come to save me from harm

It’s like acid rain in a hurricane

Might hear your call to bring you cover

It’s a crown of thorns leaving me torn

Might hear your call to bring you cover
