Born Sinner - J. Cole (J. 科尔)/James Fauntleroy[00:00:00]
Spinning in circles,[00:00:25]
Live my life without rehearsal[00:00:25]
If I die today my ni**a was it business?[00:00:27]
Was it personal?[00:00:29]
Should this be my last breath[00:00:30]
I'm blessed cause it was purposeful[00:00:32]
Never got to church to worship lord[00:00:33]
But please be merciful[00:00:35]
You made me versatile,[00:00:36]
Well rounded like cursive[00:00:37]
Now you chose me for purpose[00:00:39]
I put my soul in these verses[00:00:40]
Born sinner, was never born to be perfect[00:00:43]
Sucka for women licking their lips[00:00:45]
And holding these purses[00:00:47]
Back when we ran the streets[00:00:48]
Who would think we grow to be murderers[00:00:50]
Teachers treated niggas as[00:00:51]
If they totally worthless[00:00:53]
And violent, and hopeless[00:00:54]
I saw but never noticed[00:00:56]
That the college is right to be[00:00:57]
Or that you can be bosses[00:00:59]
Rest in peace to Tiffany,[00:01:01]
I don't know if this is[00:01:02]
The realest sh*t I ever wrote[00:01:04]
But know that the realest ni**a wrote this[00:01:05]
And signed it,[00:01:06]
And sealed it in a envelope[00:01:07]
And knew one day you would find it[00:01:09]
And knew one day that you would come back[00:01:10]
And rewind this, singing[00:01:12]
I'm a born sinner[00:01:13]
But I die better than that, swear[00:01:14]
You were always where I needed you to be[00:01:18]
Whether you were there or not there I was there[00:01:21]
I was born sinning[00:01:24]
But I'll live better than that better tonight[00:01:26]
If you ain't f**king with that[00:01:30]
I don't care yeah, yeah, yeah[00:01:31]
Yeah, this music sh*t is a gift[00:01:37]
But God help us make it[00:01:39]
Cause this music business is a cliff[00:01:40]
I got a life in my grip,[00:01:42]
She holding tight to my wrist[00:01:43]
She screaming Don't let me slip[00:01:45]
She see the tears in my eyes,[00:01:46]
I see the fear on her lips[00:01:48]
True when I told you[00:01:49]
You the only reason why[00:01:50]
I don't flip and go insane[00:01:52]
My roof in the pouring rain[00:01:53]
You knew me before the fame,[00:01:55]
Don't lose me the more I change, you[00:01:56]
Just grow with me,[00:01:59]
Go broke you go broke with me[00:01:59]
I smoke you gon' smoke with me[00:02:01]
Woman's curse since birth,[00:02:03]
Man lead her to the hearse[00:02:04]
I go Bobby you go with me damn[00:02:05]
Listen here,[00:02:08]
I'll tell you my biggest fears[00:02:09]
You the only one who knows them[00:02:10]
Don't you ever go expose them[00:02:12]
This life is harder[00:02:14]
Than you'll probably ever know[00:02:15]
Emotions I hardly ever show[00:02:16]
More for you than for me[00:02:18]
Don't you worry yourself[00:02:20]
I gotta do this for me[00:02:21]
They tell me life is a test[00:02:23]
But where's a tutor for me[00:02:24]
Pops came late I'm already stuck in my ways[00:02:26]
Ducking calls from my mother for days[00:02:29]
Sometimes she hate the way she raised me[00:02:31]
But she love what she raised[00:02:33]
Can't wait to hand her these house[00:02:34]
Keys with nothing to say[00:02:36]
Except[00:02:37]
I'm a born sinner[00:02:38]
But I die better than that, swear[00:02:39]
You were always where I needed you to be[00:02:43]
Whether you were there or not there I was there[00:02:46]
I was born sinning[00:02:49]
But I'll live better than that better tonight[00:02:51]
If you ain't f**king with that[00:02:55]
I don't care yeah, yeah, yeah[00:02:56]
I'm a born sinner[00:03:02]
But I die better than that, swear[00:03:03]
You were always where I needed you to be[00:03:07]
Whether you were there or not there I was there[00:03:10]
I was born sinning[00:03:13]
But I'll live better than that better tonight[00:03:15]
If you ain't f**king with that[00:03:19]
I don't care yeah, yeah, yeah[00:03:21]
