J. Cole Keep Heaven Dancing

Yeah Ayy, today my mom's birthday, man (Lala-la-la) I don't know, I think she's fifty–, I think she's fifty-three If I do the math right (Yeah) Feeling rather uninspired Feeling rather un-admired Come on, baby, won't you love me? Never put a soul above me Don't you see, I'm special, darling? Tell me why then aren't you calling? Could it be you found another? You forgotten how I loved ya One day, you'll see that you've made a Terrible mistake and pray to God above for second chances My rhythms will keep heaven dancin' Keep heaven dancin' Keep heaven dancin' I'm a chip off my old block where they hold Glocks In '92, they smoke rocks, now I hope not I wouldn't know 'cause we got out of there I miss Aiesha, had the caramel features and a lot of hair Sometimes, I wonder where she at now Imaginin' the way she look and how she act now Did the hood get her? Have a baby by a hood nigga Give ya two good guesses where he at now But, you never know maybe she overcame I mean just think about how far that lady Oprah came From humble beginnings to hugging a billion But that's one in a million if ya from where I'm feeling nostalgic about hardest nigga out of the south Though I was feeling claustrophobic and I had to get out 'Cause while I ain't a street nigga, ain't pretend to be The Ville was killing niggas mo' innocent than me Smart niggas went to college in attempts to flee Friends stay singing hating penitentiary And that's life in a nutshell I heard a couple dumb niggas say they love jail I feel for 'em 'cause that's real for 'em Less hope than a stillborn Cole world but can feel warm Though, sometimes play a song that can bring sunshine That's why I don't really give a fuck about punchlines I just be writing, not to enlighten, to release At night, a little Henny and some head can bring me peace If only I could get away with murder like police It'd be a couple niggas that's deceased, now rest in peace Feeling rather uninspired Feeling rather un-admired Come on, baby, won't you love me? Never put a soul above me Don't you see, I'm special, darling? Tell me why then aren't you calling? Could it be you found another? You forgotten how I loved ya One day, you'll see that you've made a Terrible mistake and pray to God above for second chances My rhythms will keep heaven dancin' Keep heaven dancin' Keep heaven dancin' All you niggas rap on the same beats Make me want to hit Dame Grease and get one of them joints X passed on Make some shit that I can hear Flex blast on For your whip let your foot press gas on 'Cause it seems hits is how the best last long So I ask God for my next smash song All he sent is my next sad song full of private thoughts For a minor cost you could tresspass on It's from the heart like a chest pass homes My nigga was in prison and he just got home He blowin' up my cell, did four years in jail And I never sent no mail and I guess that's wrong But if he really knew me then he'd understand A week out and already got a gun in hand Yes, it's true what they say, only God can judge But the catch is, He never does He know exactly why my nigga stressed, unhappy, high Thinking, "How did four years just pass me by?" Can't get a job, but the streets showed me how Niggas I was cool with ain't my homies now My own daughter act like she don't barely know me now Baby mama promise me that she would hold me down The bitch promised that she would hold me down It was lonely in a cell and it's lonely now, sing Feeling rather uninspired (Sing) Feeling rather un-admired (Sing) Come on, baby, won't you love me? (Sing) Never put a soul above me (Sing) Don't you see, I'm special, darling? Tell me why then aren't you calling? Could it be you found another? You forgotten how I loved ya One day, you'll see that you've made a Terrible mistake and pray to God above for second chances My rhythms will keep heaven dancin' Keep heaven dancin' Keep heaven dancin'
