Enchanted (Explicit)

Enchanted - J. Cole/Omen

Yeah this is where the

Yeah this is where the fathers

Ain't livin' least not with us

Might see 'em round the city and won't even say wassup

When n***as play tough won't even smile in mirrors

And we learn to f**k hoes off trial and error

Just a small town n***a big city hustle

Glued to the tv jigga diddy russell

These were our heroes strictly for them zeros

For that robert de niro n***as reload on them kilos uh

Dodgin them people mad at myself 'cause

I done seen some things that I'd rather not tell

Shawty smoke crack and her boyfriend too

And sometimes he touch her daughter

How them boyfriends do

Pull up to the club where my boys went too

See that yellow tape and the boys in blue

A n***a on a stretcher and though I never met you

I'm thinkin' God bless you the city tryna get you

Man don't let the city get you

F**k the horoscopes know the ropes like a wrestler

If them bullets wet you bet your mama need a tissue

Your face on the front of our shirts screaming we miss you

Come with me

Run quick see

What do we have here now

Do you wanna ride or die

Da da da da da da da da

Come with me da da da da da da

Run quick see da da da da da da

What do we have here now

Do you wanna ride or die

Da da da da da da da da

Now see God I know you

Only do what's best for me

But is it cool if we negotiate my destiny

They always tellin' me it's temporary

Then why it's feelin' like a cemetery

My dreams ain't got no obituaries

My city hurtin' and none of us well equipped here

You heard me say I was ballin' I probably meant tears

I'm tryna get clear

I'm tryna quit fear who wrote the scripts here

These kids live their whole life just killing time

Running the race with no finish line

They tryna noose us with they ropes but I'm finna climb

I think my foolish pride might become my suicide

But I ain't tryna go no baby

And through these lines and quotes

You gotta find some hope

'Cause I ain't dying my words gon' last forever

You can hold the treasure look inside

You can see a diamond in my mind

I'm tired of seeing d**e fiends wiping they nose clean

Is my neighborhood just a smoke screen

I think I'm in the dungeon fam I see low green

Sons raised by both queens but it's no kings

Come with me

Run quick see

What do we have here now

Do you wanna ride or die

Da da da da da da da da

Come with me da da da da da da

Run quick see da da da da da da

What do we have here now

Do you wanna ride or die

Da da da da da da da da

It seems like n***as either feel

You or they tryna kill you

I face the sky and hope that God

Ain't acting unfamiliar

You play whatever cards he deal no matter how peculiar

They tell me that it's God will

I'm asking God will ya

Heal a n***a from all this pain mama smokin' c*****e

As it rains out am I to blame try to stay sane

So I came outside where they rock with them thangs out

To clear my mind the same time

They blew that boy brains out

But will it change it's like n***as is free

But our minds still in the chains brothers killing each other

The blood spill it's a shame will it ever slow up

A lot of n***as getting older but they never grow up

And do they sons like they fathers did and never show up

Don't even cry about it just another episode of life

Watch the whole season n***a no reruns

The devil out here buying souls n***a no refunds huh

Man don't let the city get you

F**k the horoscopes know the ropes like a wrestler

If them bullets wet you bet your mama need a tissue

Your face on the front of our shirts screaming we miss you

Another day another song

A mother prays another gone

But still we play like ain't nothing wrong

Like ain't nothing wrong 'cause ain't nothing wrong

I'm not as fast I'm not as tall

But before I pass I gotta ball

I gotta ball I gotta ball

N***a I gotta ball
