[00:00.12]j. cole - 1985
[00:00.57]1985 I arrived
[00:02.95]33 years d**n I'm grateful I survived
[00:05.41]We wasn't s'posed to get past 25
[00:08.04]Jokes on you motherf**ker we alive
[00:10.46]All these n**gas popping now is young
[00:13.34]Everybody say the music that they make is dumb
[00:15.96]I remember I was 18
[00:18.55]Money p**sy parties I was on the same thing
[00:21.01]You gotta give a boy a chance to grow some
[00:23.54]Everybody talkin' like they know somethin' these days
[00:26.40]N**gas actin' woke but they broke umm
[00:28.82]I respect the struggle but you all frontin' these days
[00:31.41]Man they barely old enough to drive
[00:33.93]To tell them what they should do who the f**k am I
[00:36.51]I heard one of em' diss me I'm suprised
[00:39.00]I ain't trippin' listen good to my reply
[00:41.86]Come here lil' man let me talk with ya'
[00:44.35]See if I can paint for you the larger picture
[00:47.02]Congrats 'cause you made it out your mama's house
[00:49.50]I hope you make enough to buy your mom a house
[00:52.10]I see your watch icy and your whip foreign
[00:54.78]I got some good advice never quit tourin'
[00:57.44]'Cause that's the way we eat here in this rap game
[00:59.97]I'm f**kin' with your funky lil' rap name
[01:02.64]I hear your music and I know that rap's changed
[01:05.13]A bunch of folks would say that that's a bad thing
[01:07.77]'Cause everything's commercial and it's pop now
[01:10.47]Trap drums is the sh*t that's hot now
[01:13.08]See I've been on a quest for the next wave
[01:15.68]But never mind that was just a segue
[01:18.07]I must say by your songs I'm unimpressed hey
[01:20.75]But I love to see a Black man get paid
[01:23.45]And plus you havin' fun and I respect that
[01:26.07]But have you ever thought about your impact
[01:28.70]These white kids love that you don't give a f**k
[01:31.12]'Cause that's exactly what's expected when your skin black
[01:33.72]They wanna see you dab they wanna see you pop a pill
[01:36.53]They wanna see you tatted from your face to your heels
[01:39.12]And somewhere deep down f**k it I gotta keep it real
[01:41.71]They wanna be black and think your song is how it feels
[01:44.41]So when you turn up you see them turnin' up too
[01:46.94]You hit the next city collect your money when it's due
[01:49.57]You gettin' that paper swimmin' in b**ches I don't blame you
[01:52.08]You ain't thinkin' 'bout the people that's lookin' like me and you
[01:54.81]True you got better sh*t to do
[01:57.36]You coulda bought a crib with all that bread that you done blew
[02:00.10]I know you think this type of revenue is never endin'
[02:02.49]But I wanna take a minute just to tell you that ain't true
[02:05.17]One day them kids that's listening gon' grow up
[02:07.58]And get too old for that sh*t that made you blow up
[02:10.12]Now your show's lookin' light cause they don't show up
[02:12.72]Which unfortunately means the money slow up
[02:15.42]Now you scramblin' and hopin' to get hot again
[02:18.04]But you forgot you only popped 'cause you was ridin' trends
[02:20.72]Now you old news and you goin' through regrets
[02:23.51]'Cause you never bought that house but you got a Benz
[02:26.00]And a bunch of jewels and a bunch of shoes
[02:28.48]And a bunch of fake friends I ain't judgin' you
[02:31.08]I'm just tellin' you what's probably gon' happen when you rappin'
[02:33.89]'Bout the type of sh*t you rappin' 'bout
[02:35.58]It's a faster route to the bottom
[02:37.18]I wish you good luck
[02:38.52]I'm hoping for your sake that you ain't dumb as you look
[02:41.09]But if it's really true what people sayin'
[02:43.02]And you call yourself playin' with my name
[02:44.87]Then I really know you f**ked trust
[02:46.68]I'll be around forever 'cause my skills is tip-top
[02:49.29]To any amateur n**gas that wanna get rocked
[02:51.86]Just remember what I told you when your sh*t flop
[02:54.35]In five years you gon' be on Love & Hip-Hop n**ga
