J. Cole - Premeditated Murder lyrics

[Verse 1:] Am I changing right before your eyes? Becoming someone you don't recognize As if I was disguised, I'm on that sh** as if I was the Fly I'm touchin' skies, no puffin' lie Man these songs that I made in my bedroom and sh** Gon' finally give a n***a leg room and a whip From a Civic to a Chevy must've died and went to heaven Like a pa**enger on 9/11 - please go find a reverend You see I promise that I'd never change But that was way before I made the dough and met the game Say hello to Miss Thang, I forgot yo name, she yellow And even white women want a n***a - Othello I'm ballin' with nuggets, like f** it I'm Carmello Now the crib got much room -Portobello She drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow I sit yo a** down like you was playin' a cello See, you n***as hated and I levitated further Knew I would k** the game, premeditated murder So if it comes down, may the best man win No sweat like a head band [Chorus:] Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen You know it can't get no better for me No it can't get no better for me Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen You know it can't get no better for me No it can't get no better for me [Verse 2:] I'm a k** the game and invite witnesses No d**h penalty, I'm givin' out life sentences Like keep grindin' boy, your life can change in one year And even when it's dark out, the sun is shining somewhere Yeah, look here I pay dues My own worst enemy so f** it either way I can't lose 808's so my south n***as feel me Light-skinned so the house n***as feel me She catch me creepin' out your house she'll k** me Is it worth it what's under that blouse? My heart'll turn pitch black and cold if I split with my girl If I could gift-wrap the globe, I would give you the world But, do you love me like you used to? Even though I ain't that n***a that you're used to Remember back when I was broke, you would fix me Do you prefer the broke me or the rich me The broke me couldn't buy you meals, not even a value meal And now I pay for everything, how you feel? Mixed feelings 'cause now all the chicks feelin' him You gotta adapt though never goin' back [Chorus:] Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen You know it can't get no better for me No it can't get no better for me Where I'm from, if you ever seen what I seen You know it can't get no better for me No it can't get no better for me I can't keep running away I can't keep running away I swear I'm coming back today But if I'm wrong And I ain't got what it takes Then all dem people that was counting on me Boy won't you climb down the mountain for me
