J. Cole - New Year's Resolution (Be Free Remix) lyrics

[Verse 1: Kelby] A little less hate Let's make a lot more love Shape a history that we can be proud of Get out from under the covers No shame in loving your brothers But we're having trouble giving 'cus we can't love us So I just focus on healing Tried to listen to myself got caught up in the feelings I wanna put my whole self out But since we fell out I got hurt, and now it's too revealing I want to build back trust Gotta start with honesty but real's too much These scars ain't tough And though it hurts me soul There's a paradoxical high in being exposed Fear keeps me closed Wanna bite the bullet put my soul on the track Like nothing's changed Heart on my sleeve Like I'm not ashamed But I'm not there yet Know that I've got to be I'm working on the path so that I can be free Working hard, sweating I don't have a degree Wonder how much longer I'll be stuck in the academy But that's no complaint, it's great, I give thanks, and say grace Now imma be the change I want to see!
