J. Cole - Serenade lyrics

[Verse 1] Whoever thought a Carolina n***a would've been the greatest We strong cause the hard times made us into men Hold up I gotta say that sh** again I said the hard times made us into men See a man gonna stand with the world as a weight But the boy gonna break, only so much he could take See I traveled outta state and I ain't know a soul Told my momma I'd be back when I had a million sold Million flows million stories I done told Shed tears when they cut me from the team couldn't wait till next year Then I told the best player look "Though I ain't as tall as y'all n***as Next year I'mma be better then all ya'll n***as" Ay this is for the Ville shout to all ya'll n***as I pray you never pa** like them ballhog n***as And at all cost n***a I'mma shine They gon' remember my name like it's tatted on they mind J. Cole J. Cole Ay, fresher than a day old newborn, b**hes blowing kisses That's the same ho that you on I knew her back in high-school, but heard she failed college She blew me like she blew her nail polish That's knowledge if I ever seen it Say I'mma call her, but don't ever mean it See I'm preoccupied, watch how my stock arise She want the time and that's just something I cannot provide Cause time is money and I, I ain't no dummy and I I'm trying get paid, man I gotta stay brave Atlanta I let your misses sip me, I ain't talking David Banner, ain't a planner So if it's random then it's naturally Name a motherf**er out here matching me [Outro] n***a I'm feeling good, n***a I'm feeling good n***a I'm feeling good, n***a I'm feeling good n***a I'm feeling good
