J. Cole - Want You To Fly lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, uh God is real and he usin’ me for a bigger purpose So f** the world that would have you think That a n***a worthless Sometimes I think that these verses can help a person Way more than the ones they readin’ in churches On days of worship No disrespect to the Lord and Savior, that ain’t just ego I just observe that them words no longer relate to people Cause modern times be flooded with dollar signs And social media stuntin’, my n***as just wanna shine Their frame of mind so far removed From the days and times of Nazareth Like these days is a labyrinth, in a maze so elaborate We barely get through half of it ‘fore it’s too late My n***as is felons from sellin’ weight In more than two states .22 in his waist before he could even shoot straight Quick to draw on you like Aaron McGruder, n***a who fate? All of that to say maybe the hood need a new faith A new story about a boy from not too far where you stay [Chorus] Want you to fly, want you to fly, mhmm Want you to fly, want you to fly, here you go Want you to fly, want you to fly, mhmm Want you to fly, want you to fly, here you go Want you to fly, want you to fly, mhmm Want you to fly, want you to fly, here you go
