J. Cole - Sideline Story Remix lyrics

[Intro: Fifth Business] [Verse 1: Fifth Business] I just want to get it right, and live life in a nice crib With white skinned girls walking right in, I might man But until then I hope my mind stay bright Cause I like to keep the lights dim with a girl in my right hand I know we taking off this the flight plan My girl ain't talking back I heard she looking for the right man Hah, so this what I'm saying You told me you was faithful but that's not what other guys claim But I was wrong to dwell in my pain cause obviously I'm the one who wronged you when the time came And I'm sorry for repeating myself Opportunities preceeded the need for feeding my self I was couch surfing, street sleeping, bullsh** I was knee deep in Always had them kicks to throw my motherf**in' feet in Meaning, that's just another reason For y'all to duck when I'm leaping, giving daps then I'm peacing My demeanour's never leaving not even for a weekend or a holiday I've just been working for a solid pay Trynna get these dollars raised before I start my scholar phase Where all my people holler Jay and it's safe to ball away But hey, I ain't coming home yet, man I still got the summer, sun is never go'n set, hey I called my man up like who you running from yet Man my city is greedy but it can stomach your debts Cause from here? You can rise or you can plummet instead I was homeless so it led to me just f**in' for beds But I guess in retrospect I was stuck in a sense Cause all I wanted was love but I was loving the s** Then regrets would follow, followed by blatant disrespect Cause I was hatin' my decisions like incisions to the neck Just, fishing for a cheque, wishing I was set But after a year of misery imprisonment was next Then I was, bailed out and shipped off to rehab And it was seemingly eating at my disease that was Slowly k**ing my soul my old life wasn't appealing no more Still the feelings are drawn but Jordan stayed and Tanner is gone b**h!
