J. Cole - The Fall lyrics

[Intro] Yeah yeah You know it's Reel Season We in here I say, don't put me on no pedestal [Verse 1] Now this right is a preview, of what tape bring you cause this is real rap Sharing all my dispositions with the people who will listen I paid all my dividends so see the vision in fact Cause I had no time to vent in a while This female called life has been preventing a smile So when you see me out in public and look like I'm mean mugging It's just me and my dawgs man the whole team crushing On this chick called hip hop since we was 14 Should've tried to be numb to it fill my pen with morphine Cause in between I was ignoring the truth But afterwards I felt Payne like Mr. Lawrence's ma**euse So many cyphers, and verses with no substance But you couldn't tell me nothing back then cause man I loved it Young and misled is what my conscious had said When I look at my old verses that I spit and then read I would provide facts for everyone for resistance As I watch everybody walk away into the distance I pushed people away to try and figure out life And lost so many great people in that time in my life But being a rapper is stepping in the jungle But they tell me that I'm too humble But don't put me on no pedestal, please don't put me on no pedestal [Chorus] (K Charlz and Bangi) But don't put me on no pedestal, pedestal, pedestal But don't put me on no pedestal Went thru stuff you couldn't fathom [Verse 2] What this tape gon bring cept some feedback and a bunch of questions More like a peace of mind and a bunch of lessons Lit up like a Christmas tree dawg but ain't no second guessing Took away multiple choice so you all will explain confessing Tape ain't even close to dropping yet I'm already stressing It could be a big mistake or it could be the perfect blessing But I'll take chances and the risk I just the for people who had loved me just go and pop the disk Into stereo's or headphones for a closer look Man I went places that I wasn't even supposed to look Man I won't stop until I got the whole culture shook Learning how to take the Heat like reading Coach Spoelstra's book And he ain't even got one His time is coming around the same time I drop my album A bunch of dudes I went to school with is asking how come Some do good with em some do good without them If I ever get a release date just know that I'll be wilding Some think I'll go commercial with mine is different advertising Strategizing since you left me, you remember when you met me Know I made a huge mistake but that quick girl you gon forget me Know we could be better but I do not you would let me Maybe when I look better now is that time you that gon get me If ever, they still ask me why we not together I am Paul, and this Ephesians, pay attention to the letter How I fall into that subject matter I just want Mormon but I'm going to them latter Day churches, you might mess up your fingers if you try to scratch the surface I been praying out to God and I am sure that this my purpose Probably took you away to help me with these verses I wrote If you listen in I got about a million quotes So fall back and try to send you links You respect my music and I respect what you think But if I had one chick, it would be Keke Palmer Rack up on every comma Cause them dudes sweating you like wearing fur coats and hoodies in a sauna Don't trip about it girl you know I got you 4 years ago I dropped UPC 1 Blind to the fact of what the lil kid could become The next year over was just one year over You already cold hearted now giving the cold shoulder Year after that man I found something real essential Two kids in love and both of them full of potential Year after that man it was something real resentful But I kept you away so I can stabilize my mental May not reach out thru a text, but I'll reach out thru a pencil I guess I'm finding people for the kid to vent to But I guess you'll come around if it's really really meant to So I'll switch it up this fall and make the tape real suspenseful Know you might disagree though we don't talk now you might still end up with me But no pedestal, Please don't put me on a pedestal, yeah [Outro] Anyways man The Learning Process, October 15th I always like dropping in the fall cause everybody wants the summer but by fall y'all off So we'll bump, while it's the winter and it's too cold go outside we gon be ones in the stereos ya dig? I never messed so much (?) so much like in a song, see I just messed up talking there Reel Season
