The Plan Lyrics


(Hook)
One time for the plan
Straight to the top I got the power in my hands yeah
Live for the moment be high
Act like you want it reach out
No we aint on but we try
Now holla back and reply
(Verse 1)
feel like i live for this moment
i see it in they eyes
them other n*ggas dont want it
my style they can crown it
but cant dethrone it
i was aiming for the top
and now i am on it
with a powerful performance
i was in my zone
send flowers for opponents

tell em get well soon
cuz i aint in the mood
if you read that word backwards
then it should spell doom
am on fire
yall can inhale fumes
as i zoom by ya
ask ya nigga,whose higher
fueled by a desire you should admire
thats why am what they aspire to be before they retire
uh a living legend with god given blessings
with a game so cold
they probably watching this in heaven
expecting the incredible
so baby watch me do that
uh and make the angels say lord how he do that?
hook (*2)
lalalalala lalala lalalaaa
(verse 2)
A champions metality
and so am scoring ignoring the fact you fouling me
and one
where i go you cant come
i was schooling your father boy
that makes you my grandson
uh i been around the block twice
now my shots nice
no referee but best believe out here i got stripes
now that they must consider me a legit scorer
can you believe i started out as a bench warmer
have me feelling like master splinter
now the haters and commentators say thats a winner
hey hard work pay off
nah i dont take a day off
i rest not
i bet thats why your best shot way off
these are the things that drems are made of ,its sweet
no time for sleep when you elite
if what you reap is what you sow
then what was you expecting?
except for comming second
while i become a legend
hook (*2)
lalalalala lalala lalalaaa
why dont you reach for the sky?
oh you dont believe you can fly
i guess ill see you when you get there
i guess ill see you when you get there (*2)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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."
