Dreams

[Intro: J. Cole]

You got to follow me with what I'm doing right here man

Like, when I say this shit is crazy, I don't mean it's crazy like crazy

I just mean crazy like it's fuckin- like it's actually crazy

[Verse 1: J. Cole]

Seems like I always had crushes on chicks I couldn't have

And then I end up fucking with someone I shouldn't have

See, in my mind, it's like I'm perfect for her, I gotta show her

But sadly, in reality, dog, I don't even know her

But still somehow she got my mind infatuated

Absolutely fascinated with the thoughts of what she might be like

Time after time after time I had to wait

Is fate procrastinating?

I can take it cause I might be right, cause it's

[Hook (x2): J. Cole and Brandon Hines]

This the girl of my dreams

Ay, is she good as what she seems?

Or am I lying to myself?

Ay, should I try and get some help?

[Verse 2: J. Cole]

Oh shit, she passed me on the boulevard

Ay, tell me is it stalking if I follow her like all the way home without her knowing?

Nah, nigga, I'm just curious where she stay at

Besides when I'm with her, this gon' be the spot we lay at

And maybe I'll just drive by occassionally

And if one day I happen to see her outside, she'll wave at me

Imagine what she'll say to me:

This ain't no time to be afraid no more, it's time for bravery

No matter if my homies think I'm crazy, this

[Hook (x2): J. Cole and Brandon Hines]

[Verse 3: J. Cole]

Look, I spot her walking in the mall

Okay, it's time to grow some balls if she really gon' be yours

Oh my god, I'm walking towards her

My mind screaming stop, but my legs keep walking forward

Straighten up your face, nigga, she see you coming for her

My heartbeat racing, and my hands keep shaking

Say something, you shy motherfucker, she's waiting

"What's up girl, don't mean to interrupt

But in the city I done met a lot of women

But you from my dreams

And will you come true?

I know about a show that we can catch, some R&B and rap, and you should come through"

She said, "Uh, I'd love too

Except I don't like rap

Besides, if I went with you, then I don't really think my man would like that"

(Damn, Damn)

Okay, you say you got a man, I mean, I definitely understand

I'm happy for you, really am, I couldn't have been the only fan

In the world of a girl like you

I mean, you're beautiful, and I'm sure he's a very nice dude

It ain't no biggie, well I'm sure that I'm gon' see you 'round the city

Only thing I ask if shit don't work out for y'all, then don't forget me

And don't act like a stranger when you see me on the scene

I came up with a world-class scheme to get

[Hook (x2): J. Cole and Brandon Hines]

[Verse 4: J. Cole]

So I find out the nigga name, know exactly where he stayin'

Find out when he leave for work, "Hold up nigga, is you sane?"

I'mma follow in my car; I'mma cut in front of his

Run him right into the wall, maybe even off the bridge

I give her a little time, then console her while she crying

She gon' take that as a sign; finally she will be mine

I'll be king, and she'll be queen when I hit her with ring

At the wedding, who gon' sing?
