Omen - Pity lyrics

[Hook - J Cole] Is this the life that you chose for me? Is this the life that you chose for me? Is this the dice that you rolled for me? I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it [Verse 1 - J Cole] This is The Ville, home of the fast-lifers Where we get high and don't come down, we gas prices Man, I wonder how hard to live my past life was Cause this one hard, I could show you my scars I ain't crying tho.. They say that pity's for the next man Or that girl getting beat down by her ex-man Hey, hold your head, mama I know you wish that n***a dead, mama If I can find a way to k** him, I won't have man drama Damn mama, tell me who you love This one is for the boy that sees his mama on d** If feel your pain, boy.. just know that I been through the same, boy That lady needs you more than ever Don't be ashamed boy Cause when it rained, boy, that was your umbrella The one that changed your pissy sheets when you was a young fella And now she in the bedroom on her knees Staring at the sky, screaming "Lord please!" Tell me now: [Hook - J Cole] Is this the life that you chose for me? Is this the life that you chose for me? Is this the dice that you rolled for me? I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it [Verse 2 - Omen] Soon as you cling on, my mind's saying "be gone!" I leave em with wrinkled foreheads, they now Klingons Confused, cause friendship's abuse and I'm sorry for it My life performance been trifling, sometimes I fight my conscience Was never given spades, but I always had the heart Always misplaying the hand that was dealt the joker cards What I was spending like, lonely low energy Performance slow clinically, rolling over we finna be Don't pity me ever, when them haters answering Mindset of a victor, no victim, I'm just a champion Money come in slow, God, intervene Spirit's never broken, I'm just focused, don't pity me No no no, you see this pain put a strain on my whole life I seen the rain, seen my dreams turn to long nights But all I ask is don't pity me, no! Don't pity me, no! [Hook - J Cole] Is this the life that you chose for me? Is this the life that you chose for me? Is this the dice that you rolled for me? I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it [Verse 3 - Voli] I freestyle life, can barely write the rent Yearly income can barely keep this music life in check Call up mama, hate to borrow money, but Christmas near Hey you know what? How about we make each other gifts this year.. Friends are calling me up, asking me if I'm signed yet Who I'm working with? Am I making dollar signs yet? Disappoint them, within their voices - do they pity me? Disbelief - I'mma stay drilling like them city streets But ah, it seems like every day is rainy weather Can barely fit my pain and pride the same umbrella But he don't care, he don't care, it's hard to keep em dry No more caterpillar, now you see him change: peeping Tom This life would flash before your eyes And get your mash before your ride turns to ash No more drive, no more gas, before you cry, get your last Before you die, life your past with no regrets Broken necks, no looking back man
