J. Cole - I'm a Fool lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a fool, hundred thousand for the j**els Last year we k**ed the game and left y'all browsing for the clues Old n***as out here searching for that fountain of the youth Money talks and hoes say it's an arousing point of view Don't make me act a fool like Malcolm before the suit How could you justify, I testified up in this booth And then, throughout the years, spilled tears and shed truth Somehow they love a n***a better when he talk about his loot Chain like a kaleidoscope, see life through a wider scope Therefore, I know this necklace really represents a noose Still I hit the j**eler how much racks to make me cooler I just play the game homie, I ain't make the rules up Started from the bottom same way you lace your shoes up So if I'm blowing cake, just blame it on the place I grew up Where n***as had nothing but dreams and television Got no plans of seeing hell or prision You can tell I'm living, right? Never said I'm living right [Bridge: Cee-Lo sample] I'm a fool Such a fool For you [Hook: Cole] And they like Boy you a fool Boy you a fool Boy you a fool And they like And they like And they like Boy you a fool Boy you a fool And they like And they like [Verse 2] I'm a fool, hundred thou to go to school So much debt me and my mama damn near drowning in a pool The first to go to college, they say knowledge is a tool But these hoes on campus make a young n***a drool So we party, skip cla**, get a** and talk cool Meanwhile, she back home working hard, I use that as my fuel So I finally graduated but I'm sad to say it I ain't learn a f**ing thing except the game and how to play it I'm a fool, no scuffs on my shoes No cuts, I don't bruise, so f** y'all reviews She told me "Cole, I love you rode with you way before the riches But you way too educated to be calling women b**hes And calling brothas n***as, pardon if I cross a line But all this time knew you was different than all them other n***as" I responded to her "please don't put me on a pedestal Cuz I know better and I'm still a fool" [Bridge] + [Hook]
