(Album: The Off-Season - 2021)

[J. Cole:]
Oh, you came there, God
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Lord
No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah
No matter how long it take, nigga
Oh, God, yeah
You better be

Spiraling up, just like a rich nigga staircase (Spiral up)
No fly zone, please stay the fuck out my airspace (Out my face)
Niggas say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say (Dare say)
Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm working at Squarespace
Yeah, top of the morning, I know that you thought I was dormant
Woke up early from shots that were swarming
A block full of opps, now the cops in an orbit
Guess somebody got popped, now they knocking on doors
Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nathing
I'm minding my business as God is my witness
No weapon gon' prosper that's forming against me
Nigga, I'm starving, immensely
Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss me
Ja Morant, I'm on my Grizzly
You niggas just cubs but no, not the ones in the big leagues
After The Fall Off, I promise I'm coming to selling out Wrigley's
Nigga, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics to profit off quickly
My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons
Not really the hustler instincts
Therefore, often, my pockets was empty
So while some of my partners was serving up rocks on the corners, the project assemblies
Me, I was starting to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty
Wanna be in the spot like where every bitch want me like Rihanna dropping new Fenty
What I see in the sky, the 'Ville is the ceiling, can't reach up too high, evidently
Nah, shit, I can't reach up too high, evidently
Never seen no one driving a Bentley
I can't be out here mopping up Wendys

[Morray & J. Cole:]
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you saying now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)
People you grow up with laying in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now, my world, my life, my life

[21 Savage:]
Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized
I let the K go when Johnny died
Swanging that muhfucka' side to side
We don't participate, ain't with that squashing shit, all we believe in is homicide
I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears every time we make they mommas cry
I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)
When I'm in love, I love heavily (On God)
If you betray me, you dead to me (21)
I disrespect you respectfully (Straight up)
I got some partners who left this Earth
Maybe the pain made a better me (On God)
Just know that they secrets is kept with them (On God)
I feel like the streets is in debt with me (Straight up)
I gave my heart away to all the dawg hoes 'cause that's who accepted me (21)
I blame my pops for that shit 'cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)
Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what, she always protected me (On God)
I promise you, it ain't no checking me (On God)
Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)
You want my money or wanna have sex with me?
Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me
I get to answering, you get to texting me
I see chicken, you niggas is breast to me
Planted a seed but it ain't a sesame
Can't let you niggas or bitches grow next to me

[Morray & J. Cole:]
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you saying now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)
People you grow up with laying in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now, my world, my life, my life
