Just A Nigga
J. Slim Lyrics

My nigga just made bail
My friend just posted bail to get out of jail

I just came up, on some grey 12's
I just got lucky and acquired some grey 12's (sneakers)

Great health, cheers to that
I am celebrating my good health

Do this shit for Queens got my ears to that
I am doing this music for Queens and I am listening to what they want

They hate us but, not more they hate theyselves
People despise us, but they hate themselves even more

I guess that they gotta motivate theyselves
Those people need to find their own motivation

We can never correlate you will never see my plane
We can never be on the same level, you will never see me in the same situation as you

Right in front of you but your vision is so plain
I am right in front of you, but you cannot see the bigger picture

I see it more vivid, seen it all, did it
I have a more clear perspective because I have experienced and accomplished more

Round these fake fucks still keep it authentic, granted,
Even though I am surrounded by fake people, I still remain genuine

Give or take fucks, how your measures rate us
Whether you like us or not, how you judge our worth

Dammit, you'll never understand it
You will never comprehend it

And even though I'm so lit
Even though I am successful and popular

I've seen the cards handed and I replayed mine
I have been dealt a hand in life and I made the most of it

Hell yeah I'm on tilt, but I'm never off handed, gotta keep good time
I may be off balance, but I still keep going and stay on beat

Free your mind and everything'll follow won't you
If you let go of negative thoughts, positive things will come your way

Listen when you get a blessin' you don't ask why
When you receive a blessing, don't question it, just accept it

You just pass forward, and fast forward
Keep moving forward and don't look back

All my niggas from the hood got a passport
All of my friends from the neighborhood have a passport

And them girls already know we ain't ask for it
The girls know that we didn't beg for their attention

Said she from the hood but her ass foreign
She claims to be from the same neighborhood, but her appearance is foreign

Drive a Malibu but her gas foreign
She drives a car made in America, but the fuel she puts in it is foreign

Her aspirations I can't relate with
I don't understand her goals

But I'm like a ghost cause my ass tourin'
I'm out of sight because I'm on tour

Burn holes in all my clothes
I wear my clothes so often that they have holes

But I got merch' and this cash for it
I may wear worn out clothes, but I have merchandise to sell and make money

Glass floors and no ceilings
Floor made of glass, but no roof

How I wish we could both feel it
I wish we could both experience it

For all or once gone cause I miss here breathing
For those who are no longer here, I miss being able to breathe the same air as them

Any y'all saw came any y'all part
If you saw it, you are a part of it

Got a race cars
I have racing cars

Penny my thoughts, nah this shit premium
My thoughts are expensive, not worth just a penny

And everything'll follow got to
If you let go of negative thoughts, positive things will come your way

Tell the good lord, we gon raise hell
I am telling God that we are going to cause trouble

We gon' pop off, like a fake nail
We are going to start something, just like a fake nail pops off

Take the top off and get ill get ill get
Let's take the roof down and have some fun

Tell the fuckin' mayor he got hate mail
I'm sending hate mail to the mayor

Less shake downs and more Shakespeare
Less violent tactics and more artistic expression

Please, all these niggas don't care
Please, these people don't care

Prepare for the new shit, that Cole is the truth shit
Get ready for the new stuff, because Cole brings the truth

Nigga this is loose shit, nigga this is Bas shit, meaning this some true shit
This is unrefined material, this is Bas's style, meaning this is authentic

Telling you shit, bout the crew, how we do shit, who sick
Talking to you about the crew, how we do things, who is ill

And, tell my niggas in the two-six
And, pass along this message to my friends in zone 26

In the coupe, on the kickbacks with the pool stick
In the car, relaxing with a pool cue

This for my new chick tryin' get fit
This is for my new girl trying to look better

Say she too thick
She says she is too heavy

Ain't no such thing as too thick
There is no such thing as being too heavy

What you wanna be a toothpick?
Do you want to be as thin as a toothpick?

What you wanna get your cooch licked?
Do you want to have sex performed on you?

Well I'm tryna get my flute played!
Well, I'm trying to have oral sex performed on me!

If we the new slaves
If we are the new oppressed people

I am Frederick Douglass of rhetoric
I am skilled in persuading people, just like Frederick Douglass

Ahead the the others
Ahead of everyone else

You motherfucka's better get free
You all need to free yourselves

This for that insecure girl
This is dedicated to that girl who lacks confidence

Your name I won't mention
I won't say your name

On Instagram straight flickin'
On Instagram, posting suggestive photos

Bitch you a nipple slip away from strippin', might as well
You are so close to being a stripper, you might as well do it

Get your clientele up
Attract more customers

You a pioneer
You are not afraid to explore something new

Them girls fuck for free
They have sex without asking for anything in return

I'm never buying there
I am not interested in those girls

Save that shit for the d.r
Take that to the Dominican Republic (where prostitution is legal)

I rock crowns and these niggas rock tiaras
I wear crowns, while these guys wear feminine headpieces

Or tiaras
Also, they could be wearing tiaras

I'm pete carroll
I am like Pete Carroll (who is he?)

Left college and I fucked the pros up
I left school early and succeeded in my profession

Guess it ain't luck when the luck just shows up
I guess it's not really luck when success just comes to you

Like every verse
Just like all my songs

On the spot shit is never rehearsed
My freestyle is always improvised, never planned

You heard it first
You heard it here for the first time

I swear to god, Cole world
I promise, this is the world of J. Cole

We doin' it out here, in the UK fool!
We are making it happen here in the UK, fool!

Y'all ain't ready
You are not prepared

I got Bas the genius over there
Bas is a genius and he's with me

I got DJ dummy downstairs
My DJ is downstairs

We gon' take on the world
We are going to conquer the world

Free your mind and everything'll follow, won't you, won't you
If you let go of negative thoughts, positive things will come your way
