j. cole - a p p l y i n g . p r e s s u r e lyrics
[intro]
yeah (yeah)
yeah, n+gga (one two, one two, one)
the off+season (one two, one two, one two, one)
the off+season, n+gga
we offing n+ggas (ayy, that’s right)
f+ck you talkin’ ’bout? (that’s right, ayy)
offing n+ggas (yeah, hey, yeah)
(vocal up a little more, hey)
[verse]
uh, applying pressure
started my grind where crime festers
and now it’s showing like they in they second trimesters (pregnant)
that’s why when n+ggas throw a shot or two online, i pay no mind to their benign gestures (mm)
n+gga, plеase, i got my mind on much bigger things, to say the lеast
my latest beat just sound like they was released by david east (what up, east?)
verses hit hard, never pitched hard or played the streets
these n+ggas’ whips hard, behind closed doors, can’t pay the lease (uh)
ain’t nothin’ wrong with livin’ check to check ’cause most have to (i understand that)
instead of cappin’, why don’t you talk about being a broke rapper? (i don’t understand that)
that’s a perspective i respect because it’s real
what it’s like to be nice as f+ck but got to stress to pay the bills
that was me in ’08, seein’ no cake
not even on dates i celebrated my birth
just did the mental math and calculated my worth
sh+t crazy, didn’t know i got more m’s than a real slim shady video (how many of us in here?)
big boss, less rick ross, more like a wavy hideo
kojima, they tote steamers around the way we tippy+toe
’round crack vials and cold+blooded k!llers, no reptiles
just projectiles, from n+ggas salty you rockin’ the fresher textiles
i seen best pals grow up and switch (i hate to see it)
sometimes over a couple dollars, more often over a b+tch (ah, i hate to see it)
i can cap and say that i never scratched my jealousy’s itch
but thank god i conquered that ’cause if not i’d never be rich
envy, keep your pockets empty, so just focus on you
if you broke and clownin’ a millionaire, the joke is on you
money ain’t everything, i never say that (never)
but n+ggas throw stones knowin’ they sell soul to get wherever they at (come on, man)
just know these verses is some sh+t they gon’ forever playback, n+gga (come on, n+gga)
[outro]
h+ll yeah (ooh)
f+ck, you know what it is, n+gga
don’t even dare
n+ggas try to act like they don’t—, b+tch
that’s why i gotta flex sometimes
’cause n+ggas just try to act like you just not that motherf+ckin’ n+gga, like
like you just really don’t do it how you do it
like n+ggas will really try to act like you don’t do what you do
n+gga look you dead in your face
and really act like you don’t do it to the level that you do it
that’s why sometimes you gotta come through and just do it at the level that you do it in front of every n+gga face
so they know the difference between you, the real n+ggas, and the mothaf+ckin’ fraudulent n+ggas, man
don’t never get it f+cked up
if a n+gga can’t do it like you do it sometimes you gotta do it in front of his f+ckin’ face so he’ll know forever
d+mn, that n+gga did it how i always wanted to do it and i’ll never be able to do it like that
b+tch it’s a difference (ah)
(these are the same ones telling our people what we are and we aren’t because we’re just not working hard enough
and that mentality is what we’re up against today
but this is good to know because this time, when we march on the capitol
you can go ahead and let ’em know long before we get there, we’re coming to get that check)
