Enchanted - J. Cole

Enchanted - Coldworld
Yea this is where the
Yea this is where the fathers ain't living
At least not with us
Might see them around the city and won't even say wassup
When niggas play tough won't even smile in mirrors
And we learn to f**k hoes off trial and error
Just a small town ni**a big city hustle
Glued to the TV Jigga Diddy Russell
These were our heroes strictly for them zeros
For that Robert Deniro niggas reload on them kilo's
Dodging them people
Mad at myself cause I done seen some things
That I'd rather not tell
Shawty smoke crack and her boyfriend too
And sometimes he touch her daughter how the boyfriends do
Pull up to the club where my boys went too
See that yellow tape and the boys in blue
A ni**a on a stretcher and though I never met you
I'm thinking God bless you the city try and get you
Man don't let the city get you
F**k the horoscopes know the ropes like a wrestler
If them bullets wet you bet your Momma need a tissue
Your face on the front of our shirts screaming we miss you
We miss you
Come with me
Run quick see what do we have here
Now do you wanna ride or die
La da da da la la la la
Come with me
La da da da la la la la
Run quick see what do we have here
Now do you wanna ride or die
La da da da la la la la
Lets see God
I know you only do whats best for me
But is it cool if we negotiate my destiny
They always telling me it's temporary
Than why it's feeling like a cemetary
My dreams ain't got no obituaries
My city hurting and none of us were equipped here
You heard me say I was balling
I probably meant tears
I'm trying to get clear I'm tryna quit fear
Who wrote the scripts here
These kids live there whole life just killing time
Running the race with no finish line
They tryna noose us with they ropes but I'm finna climb
I think my foolish pride might become my suicide
But I ain't tryna go no baby
And through these lines and quotes you gotta find some hope
Cause I ain't dying my words gon' last forever
You can hold the treasure
Look inside you can see a diamond in my mind
I'm tired of seeing d**e fiends wiping they nose clean
Is my neighborhood just a smoke screen
I think I'm in the dungeon fam I see low green
Son's raised by bo queens but there's no kings
No kings no kings
Come with me
Run quick see what do we have here
Now do you wanna ride or die
La da da da la la la la
Come with me
Run quick see what do we have here
Now do you wanna ride or die
La da da da la la la la
It seems like niggas either feel you or they tryna kill you
I face the sky and hope to God ain't acting unfamiliar
You play whatever cards he deal no matter how peculiar
They tell me that its God's will
I'm asking God will you
Heal a ni**a from all this pain
Momma smoking coc*ine as it rains out
Am I to blame try to stay sane so I came outside
Where they rock with them thangs out
To clear my mind at the same time
They blew that boy's brains out
But will it change
It's like niggas is free
But our minds still in the chains
Brothers killing each other the blood spill its a shame
Will it ever slow up
A lot of niggas getting older but they never grow up
And do they son's like they fathers did and never show up
Don't even cry about it just another episode of life
Watch the season ni**a no re runs
The devil buying souls ni**a no refunds
Man don't let the city get you
F**k the horoscopes know the ropes like a wrestler
If them bullets wet you bet you momma need a tissue
Your face on the front of our shirts screaming we miss you
Another day another song a mother prays
Another gone
But still we play like ain't nothing wrong
Like ain't nothing wrong
Cause ain't nothing wrong
I'm not as fast I'm not as tall
But before I pass
I gotta ball
I gotta ball
I gotta ball
Ni**a I gotta ball
