J. Cole - Song for the Ville lyrics

[Verse 1] Aye baby tell me have you ever seen a n***a chasin' dreams Leavin' everything he love behind to make this cream Kisses his momma on the cheek, say, don't worry I'll be back I gotta get you out this sh**, I'm a hurry, I'll speed back You see, that's the type of sh** the boy be thinkin' when he dreamin' And he don't pay no mind to them n***as that's disagreein' Sayin', n***a, is you crazy Them same ones that's talkin' be the same ones not doin' sh** Aye, n***a is you lazy Or is you scared to follow dreams I know you gotta have one The opportunities be in yo' face You gotta grab one n***a But while you're bullsh**tin' I'll be woodgrippin' gettin' wealthy On the road to riches, God help me I'll holla at ya'll n***as when I see you, wouldn't wanna be you Cause you fear what I don't, see this here is what I want So I'm a get it poppin', I'm rockin' despite the obstacles Look, my n***a what you call impossible is possible [Refrain] Aye, tell my n***as to keep they heads up We made it too damn far just to give it up And we way too strong This is a song for the Ville Yeah, yeah And baby don't cry, you know I'm comin' back I did it for the city, gotta get up on the map And I know we gon' shine This is a song for the Ville, yeah [Verse 2] I thank the Lord for my many blessings Though I'm stressin', I know it's temporary Starin' at my granny obituary She almost made it to eighty before they buried Damn, can't even tell you I'm sure I'll to make it to 30 Cause you never know, sometimes life takes a turn for the worst Is you holdin' on to will, or did you let it go Heaven knows I'm tryna hold on So every night I pray and hope my life is prolonged The journey seemed so long but hold up Don't take me up I got big dreams n***a, ya'll can't wake me up Life's a b**h but d**h don't break me up, I got too much to live for It seems too many n***as die with way too much potential Gotta get up out this trap even if I got to scrap I'll lay a n***a down flat before I'll let him hold me back Ya see I ain't afraid of obstacles But what you n***as call impossible is possible Yeah, so aye [Refrain] Aye, some n***as take they life for granted, wastin' time Time is money my n***a, I cannot waste a dime Or a minute, too much business to handle to be sleepin' Too much spinach to eat for n***as beefin' So I'm out here trick or treatin', can my n***as comprehend Bill Gates, Donald Trump, motherf**er let me in Stop hatin' that's a sin, why these n***as so sinful I guess they hate to love a n***a, yes it's that simple As I ride through the city, feelin' lucky to be breathin' I know a couple peers that didn't make it to the season, pour it out See I believe that things happen for a reason, no doubt Strange times, as I watch these n***as throw they gang signs, and they strapped Crips or Blood, n***a we all black From the same city, the same schools we was taught at Aye f** the drawbacks and obstacles Man what them teachers call impossible is possible n***a, yeah [Refrain]
