Rise and Shine

There's a nigga right now somewhere
 He at the table with a bowl of Apple Jacks
 And he's reading the back of the cereal
 And in between eating the Apple Jacks he's writing some shit
 And he wants my spot
 I'mma find him though, I'mma sign him
 I don't want no problems

 Like we always do at this time, Cole blowin' your mind
 Hey dummy, this no accident, all of this was designed
 T—t—t—took my time, c—c—crept from behind
 And I opened up your blinds, rise and shine, Cole World
 Same nigga used to drive around with yo girl
 In my mama's Civic, now I'm out here tryna get it
 I ain't like you lame ass niggas, boy I spit it how I live it
 So when you see me in the streets, man I ain't gotta mimic
 'Cause I ain't got an image to uphold, this real shit
 I ain't got a gimmick, I just flow, the niggas went nuts for
 The boy that set fire to the booth
 In a game full of liars, it turns out that I'm the truth
 Some say that rap's alive, it turns out that I'm the proof
 'Cause the ones y'all thought would save the day can't even tie my boots
 The ones y'all thought could hang with me can't even tie my noose
 Let these words be my bullets, nigga, I don't rhyme, I shoot, bang!
 Before I wake, uh
 I pray to the Lord, uh, my soul to take, uh
 My soul to take, uh, my soul take, uh
 My soul to take
 Lord I been dreamin' bout the paper, get rich 'fore I see my life taper
 Hope my mama get to see Jamaica before she meet her maker
 I hoop was never good enough to ever be a Laker
 But these words I record got me ballin', Jordan
 More than a rapper, this a natural disaster
 Boy, I'm meaner than Katrina mixed with Gina, "Shut up, Cole!"
 This is for my niggas back home, homes, what up, bo?
 This is for the bitches that played me, what up, ho?
 Nah, I ain't mad, it's sad, you went from bad to real bad
 Two kids that don't even know their real dad
 Real sad, baby girl I wish you still had it
 Then maybe you could get a taste of livin' Villematic
 Is Cole still at it? Y'all be talkin' about the same shit
 That's how I feel about it, mama was a real addict
 That's why I don't respect that lyin' ass white shit you talkin'
 Cole's planning funerals, you might fit the coffin
 Before I wake, uh
 I pray to the Lord, uh, my soul to take, uh
 My soul to take, uh, my soul take, uh
 My soul to take, hey
 Uh
 Get on your job lil mane, this ain't Saturday
 We in two different lanes, you can't navigate
 We in two different games, you playin' patty cake
 Brother you're lame, you're Shane Battier
 You out of shape, my mind run a mile a minute
 The sky's the limit, I'm so high, I'm divin' in it
 My rides is tinted, my knob's gettin' slobbed up in it
 She hollerin' God, man you would've thought that God was in it
 But it's just a nigga God invented
 The best out, foolish pride'll make you not admit it
 But if this shit ain't fire nigga, why you noddin' with it?
 The hate in your blood can't stop your soul from vibin' with it
 Now you all conflicted cause my flows is wicked
 And my hoes is thicker and all of yours is pickin' me
 Cause they know a star when they see a star, nigga
 Ain't even got to fuck him to know he a raw nigga
 I got her in my bedroom, but cheer up, nigga
 You saved so many hoes, you a hero, nigga!
 Medal of honor, I'm feelin' on top like Pac
 When he slept with Madonna, hey, this is death before dishonor
 Get arrested and forget to tell my mama
 She got enough to stress about, my niggas gonna get me out
 Then we hit the club with the thugs and the liquors
 No criminal record but I'm makin' criminal records
 Isn't it ironic? Isn't it iconic?
 Jacket so expensive you wouldn't even try on it
 But it fit me perfect, I purchase it if I want it
 The city on my shoulder, so no girl, you can't cry on it
 When you make a list of the greatest aye, am I on it?
 Maybe not yet but bitch I got the clock set
 It goes tick-tock, game on lock
 Sun gon' shine but the rain won't stop, oh no
 ♪
 If I should die before I wake
 I pray to the Lord my soul to take
 My soul to take, my soul to take
