jones (rap) - coletrain pt. 2 lyrics

i got a chip on my shoulder that right now is the size of texas
cause i feel iin various ways i’ve been so disrepected
by not only my peers but my so-called compet-tion
and i can’t name one artist that would willingly want it with him
yeah you tried to write me off acting like i wouldn’t notice
if i knocked your eyes straight then maybe you could focus
on the struggle of an artist surrounded by local rappers
and old heads who think they’re the plug but got it backwards-

yeah they gulp when they see me, ha, its picture perfect
and i hope i offend a few folks, to me its worth it-
i’m hurting on the inside, call it a crime of p-ssion
for what i’m about to say
and i hope i get a reaction
cause i’m better than ya cousin pookie and his friend ray ray
you queens getting mad i’ll drop my cd on your bday
oh the hood said you hot? well they lying like mufasay
i know i said that wrong but i’m the king and this is my tape

man i’m asking for a friend, what it take to be great
i try to speak on a level to make sure you can relate
in one year, i opened up for four major names
how many of you or your rapping homies can say the same?
at least a thousand cds, and people wearing my tees
to doing comedy shows and shutting down frat row
all while working two jobs and paying my band
now ask me how many of my songs the radio jammed?

the answer zero, not the hip hop or the r&b yo
a minor setback but i bet that ain’t no stopping me though
give back to your community more than you do but we know
i’m far from hood but smart enough to never f the g code
been in a couple movies both acting and musically gold
i’m multifaceted while you b-st-rds can barely speak so
even my drunken uncle who swear up and down that he flow
can paddle upstream on my scheme now call me hero
i’ll be your hero..
man i got so much to say to you but not enough time to say it
a wise man once said:
[don’t give em too much you]
man its too late
i’m hoping that my vulnerabilities can make you great
cooked up a couple samples now i’m rising like a souffle
people been coming up telling me touch but meaning touche
mad at me because i proved to be better than who they
-ssumed would be the next to get the ball but this a new play
cause i’m the coach the ref and the player so here’s what i say
just chill and take these l’s (yo you need to be cool j)-

i mean

to the world if its worth it i’m farthest from perfect
i told you on that other song sometimes i still get nervous-
about my
day to day living and all things uncertain
see you don’t know what life is like for me behind that curtain
leave the roses on the stage while i walk on the th-rns
bare footed.. grateful for all the shoes that i’ve worn
while they were beautiful they’d hide the ugliness of my corns
and temporarily keep me sheltered from all of the storms
that life brings-

i hope you hear the pain when i sing
cause i don’t do it for fashion
i don’t do it for rings
i do it so my nieces and nephews watching can dream
and learn from all of my mistakes hoping they don’t make the same
i’m praying that for good reason you remember my name
and though its in my blood i’m hoping that these poems aren’t in vain
downing all this fire water tryna drown out the pain
cuz right now i feel like i’ve lost way more than i’ve gained

from

stupid decisions to hurting these women
how you gon break god’s creation and expect some forgiveness
that’s when i take a step back and see the tears on the mirror
and as they fall, the picture they paint can’t be any clearer
it’s a.. man on a mission that doesn’t quite get it
his heart is big but its wounded and covered in st-tches
a young king with a prince and that gleam in his eye
comes straight from that visionary that he’s got by his side
now let em…. never too much never too much
