[Intro: Choir & J. Cole]
~#**************#~
Im a born sinner
~#**************#~
But I die better than that, I swear
~#**************#~
Its way darker this time
~#**************#~
*Laughs*
~#**************#~
[Chorus: J. Cole & The Notorious B.I.G.]
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov, now Im in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
~#**************#~
Cole, time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov, sometimes Im real like Pac
~#**************#~
Sometimes I focus on the flow to show the skills I got
~#**************#~
Sometimes I focus on the dough, look at these bills I got
~#**************#~
This is a message for some rappers tryna steal my spot
~#**************#~
You niggas famous on the internet, Im real life hot, homie
~#**************#~
Get your weight up, fake niggas get sprayed up
~#**************#~
My verbal AK slay faggots
~#**************#~
And I dont mean no disrespect whenever I say faggot
~#**************#~
Okay, faggot? Uh
~#**************#~
Dont be so sensitive
~#**************#~
If you want to get fucked in the ass, thats between you and whoever elses dick it is
~#**************#~
Pause, maybe that line was too far
~#**************#~
Just a little joke to show how homophobic you are
~#**************#~
And who can blame ya? Boy Meets World, Im tryna find a new Topanga
~#**************#~
And bang her out, no hanging out
~#**************#~
My pops was club hopping back when Rick James was out
~#**************#~
And all I get is Trinidad James, wait a minute, thats strange
~#**************#~
Sip a bit of champagne, say fuck it
~#**************#~
If the hoes like it I love it, nigga, nigga, nigga
~#**************#~
Used to watch Rap City, Big Tigga, Tigga
~#**************#~
Rap nerd, even copped Rah Diggah, Diggah
~#**************#~
Pac had a nigga saying fuck Jigga, fuck Biggie
~#**************#~
I was only like 11 so forgive me
~#**************#~
A decade later Id be all up in the city
~#**************#~
Tryna get Hov to fuck with me
~#**************#~
With a burned CD full of jams that was up in my hand
~#**************#~
When he said he didnt want it it was fuck him again
~#**************#~
One day, he gon regret playing me
~#**************#~
Little did I know in a year hed be fucking paying me, what could you say to me? I
~#**************#~
Beat the odds like Vegas, I used to rap about haters
~#**************#~
Before niggas was hating me, now they hate to see
~#**************#~
A young black man with a college degree
~#**************#~
Fucking all these little models for free, pardon me
~#**************#~
[Chorus: J. Cole & The Notorious B.I.G.]
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Got the game back, and I ain’t ever letting go
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
Im the prince of the city, I studied Machiavelli
~#**************#~
You niggas couldnt blow with C4 strapped to your belly
~#**************#~
I snuck up out the parts where niggas be living heartless
~#**************#~
And cannot tell the difference between Iraqi, Israeli
~#**************#~
And so Im wondering really what could you actually tell me
~#**************#~
Im tryna keep my homie from throwing crack in the skully
~#**************#~
So, back with this pen to give back for my sins
~#**************#~
Took a black president to tell the Japanese sorry
~#**************#~
But who the fuck gon tell my niggas sorry
~#**************#~
Never seen his pops cause hes sorry
~#**************#~
Fucked up education, would ask for reparations
~#**************#~
But I’m probably just gon go and buy Ferraris, vroom
~#**************#~
Please forgive him
~#**************#~
According to the preacher man he needs Jesus in him
~#**************#~
But the Devil run the TV so the demons in em
~#**************#~
Im in trouble
~#**************#~
Did a deal with the Devil, now Im pleading with him
~#**************#~
Like give me my soul
~#**************#~
[Bridge: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
My nigga, I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
Please give me my soul
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
Please give me my soul
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
But the Devil dont play fair
~#**************#~
[Refrain: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
Im bout to go and join the Illuminati
~#**************#~
Fuck everybody
~#**************#~
Im bout to go and join the Illuminati
~#**************#~
Fuck everybody
~#**************#~
Im bout to go and join the Illuminati
~#**************#~
Fuck everybody
~#**************#~
Im bout to go and join the Illuminati
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
These next three bars is dedicated to the retards
~#**************#~
Keep on asking me about the Illuminati;
~#**************#~
Is you stupid, nigga? Young black millionaire
~#**************#~
Old white billionaires, Im sure that they can do without me
~#**************#~
And I aint really into sacrificing human bodies
~#**************#~
Couple more As I wouldve been a summa cuma laude
~#**************#~
Beyoncé told me that she want to cop the blue Bugatti
~#**************#~
That shit is more than what Im worth, I think she knew it probably
~#**************#~
Well this is awkward, awkward
~#**************#~
Want to know what else is really awkward, awkward
~#**************#~
When niggas buy rings for bitches I had flings with
~#**************#~
Im praying I dont see em at the Oscars, Oscars
~#**************#~
[Interlude: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
Hey J. Cole, this way, hey
~#**************#~
Oh, hey, whats up? Whats goin on with you? Okay
~#**************#~
Big smile, man, big smile, let me see that crooked smile
~#**************#~
J. Cole, J. Cole, this way, look this way
~#**************#~
Oh friend hug, friend hug, just keep it friendly
~#**************#~
We friends, friends
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: J. Cole]
~#**************#~
Re-adjustin my target audience, cause its obvious
~#**************#~
Ive gone astray, losing my way like Timberlake
~#**************#~
Produced by Timbaland on that goddamn FutureSex/LoveSounds
~#**************#~
Whats playing in my mind, just the sound of my whole career
~#**************#~
Crash and burning, the thing that I mostly fear
~#**************#~
Was on track for the first two years until I let the Devil steer
~#**************#~
Now what have we here? Mask my tears, but I
~#**************#~
[Bridge: J. Cole, Yolanda DeBerry & Tanikka Myers]
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting go
~#**************#~
I aint ever letting you go again
~#**************#~
[Outro: J. Cole & The Notorious B.I.G.]
~#**************#~

~#**************#~

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
~#**************#~
Sometimes I brag like Hov
~#**************#~
Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is Cole
