Kenny Lofton (Prod. By Canei Finch) Lyrics


Hurt, to think that you lied to me
Hurt, way down deep inside of me
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
Get paid a pretty penny for my thoughts
I'm hard away with grammar, I'm hot
They only care about a nigga when he handle the rock
Or when he dishing the pill, or when he gripping the steel
Bailing out my brother, tell the lawyer get the appeal
With the flick of the pen write the check and he out
Two years later he be at my shows checking me out
Know he proud of little bro and how my records be out
Flashbacks to childhood when he was decking me out
Now it's clear little Maine is the best mc out
Hands down, flow water, can't drown
My flow father, go harder, Cole smarter
Shout out to fiends in Queens, I'm team no daughters
I seen it all at this young age

The only thing left to do is die and hit front page
Shit, I knock on wood and pray like God forbid
These hoes be popping pills, these niggas be popping shit, bitch
Pac on the mic in his prime
They only care about a nigga when he writing a rhyme, boy
Kenny Lofton, you feeling my pace?
They only care about a nigga when he stealing the base
It's like I'm Wilt the Stilt, I'm fucking them all
They only care about a nigga when he dunking the ball
And it breaks my heart
The world s a stage, I'll just play my part
Just caught fire like a young Richard Pryor with unforgettable quotes
They only care about a nigga when he telling a joke, or when he's selling his dope
They tell the reverend "Man, I rather get to heaven with coke
Then live in hell and be broke"
Shout out to black man who beat the odds by yelling for hope
Today he asked if I could Twitter y'all and tell you to vote
My nigga, how could I, knowing what I know
It's a game of charades, masquerade for the dough
Read the teleprompter, these niggas is actors on the low
Yeah, I voted for the nigga cause he got the best show
Like I got the best flow, on your mark, set, go
I seen it all at this young age
The only thing left to do is die and hit front page
Shit, I knock on wood and pray like God forbid
These hoes be popping pills, these niggas be popping shit, bitch
Pac on the mic in his prime
They only care about a nigga when he writing a rhyme, boy
Kenny Lofton, you feeling my pace?
They only care about a nigga when he stealing the base
It's like I'm Wilt the Stilt, I'm fucking them all
They only care about a nigga when he dunking the ball
And it breaks my heart
The world s a stage, I'll just play my part
I said, you wouldn't know the truth if it was right there in your face
See, I can't explain the feeling when the feds surround your place
In that PJ rose, I drink that shit by the case
Like somebody pray for me, Reverend Run, Pastor Mase
See, I do this for my homie, he got caught with a soft eight
When I say a soft eight, yeah, that's two less than ten
If they let him out today he gonna do it all again
Say he lost the first time it won't stop until he win
Street life will have you drunk, I m talking serious Gin
Yeah, we screaming Scarface, but we all know how that ends
Every word is like dope, you can snort it like lines
If I said it, then I meant it, they reciting every line
If I had to write a book, it would be the Life and Times
Every verse is that work, you can weigh it like a nine
You see I lost a lot of niggas and it broke my heart
Life is staged, I just played my part
Pac on the mic in his prime
They only care about a nigga when he writing a rhyme, boy
Kenny Lofton, you feeling my pace?
They only care about a nigga when he stealing the base
It's like I'm Wilt the Stilt, I'm fucking them all
They only care about a nigga when he dunking the ball
And it breaks my heart
The world s a stage, I'll just play my part
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
I m hurt
Hurt much more than you ll ever know
Hurt, because I still love you so

Jermaine Lamarr Cole (born January 28, 1985 in Frankfurt, Germany), better known simply as J. Cole, is an American rapper and producer from Fayetteville, North Carolina. He is best known for being the first artist to be signed to Jay-Z's label Roc Nation after Jay heard his single Lights Please. He released his debut mixtape The Come Up in 2007 and followed this up with 2009's The Warm Up and 2010's Friday Night Lights. Songfacts reports that he dropped his first official single, Work Out on June 15, 2011, the two-year anniversary of The Warm Up. He released his highly anticipated debut album "Cole World: The Sideline Story" on Tuesday, September 27, 2011. It debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 with approximately 218,000 units sold.

Cole has appeared on the cover of The Source and Beyond Race magazines, as well as being featured as one of XXL’s 2010 Freshmen. Cole appeared on Jay-Z’s 2009 album The Blueprint 3, on the track A Star is Born, and is also featured on labelmate Wale’s debut album, Attention Deficit. Most recently, he was touring with Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, and Trey Songz on The Blueprint 3 tour. In January 2010, along with Jay Electronica and Mos Def, he appeared on the first single from the new Reflection Eternal album, Just Begun.

The rap world is at a crossroads. In the face of shrinking budgets, music executives, resting on their laurels, search out the next YouTube sensation with a catchy hook and dance move in order to amass digital single sales. While many artists have tried to break through despite an industry melt down, few have been met with critical praise. And the applause for those that have has not been loud enough to sway the course of the current rap market. Looking to excel where his contemporaries have failed, North Carolina native J. Cole (born Jermaine Cole) brings promise of a new day in hip hop music.Raised by his mother in North Carolina, J. Cole's hometown of Fayetteville would provide much of the sights and experiences that would come to shape his sound. Cole fell into rapping at the age of 12 when his cousin from Louisiana spent the summer in Fayetteville, showing him the basics of rhyming. He was instantly hooked. From there he delved deep into the music of hip hop luminaries including Tupac Shakur, Nas and Outkast, taking from them a love for telling stories with an unbridled rigor. Seizing every opportunity to write, at age 15 J. Cole found himself with composition notebooks full of rhymes but no beats of his own to lay them on. Determined to create original songs, he begged his mother for a beat machine so he could produce music solely for himself. She granted his wish and from there, a young Cole spent all his free time creating sounds and songs that would lay the foundation for what his style has evolved to today.

Feeling the need to be heard, J. Cole used college as a tool to chase his dreams. He attended St. John's University on an academic scholarship, choosing the school so that he could be in the heart of the music industry: New York City. After polishing his sound and graduating Magna Cum Laude, J. Cole is dropping his debut mixtape, properly titled "The Come Up" hosted by DJ On Point. A mash up of dusty, soul filled sound beds, raw, energetic drums and an endless range of topics everything from the carefree days of college to the seemingly endless plight of those have-nots scrapping for change. The Come Up puts J. Cole's broad palette of lyrical and production talents on display. "All a nigga wanna do is take his momma from that, but they rather lock us up and make sure we don't come back," he vehemently spits over the cascading keys and triumphant strings of the self produced "Lil' Ghetto Nigga."

With such a diverse display, J. Cole is poised to wake up a dormant industry and cement his name in this game. But more than that, with his debut studio album currently in production, he hopes to change the tide of current rap music, swaying it in a more insightful, meaningful and passionate direction."
