J. Cole - a p p l y i n g . p r e s s u r e (Official Audio)(MP3_160K)
[00:02.70] Yeah (Yeah)
[00:06.46] Yeah, nigga (One two, one two, one)
[00:07.95] The Off-Season (One two, one two, one two, one)
[00:09.71] The Off-Season, nigga
[00:12.95] We off of niggas (Ayy, that's right)
[00:14.45] Fuck you talkin' 'bout? (That's right, ayy)
[00:16.46] Off of niggas (Yeah, hey, yeah)
[00:20.20] (Vocal up a little more, hey)
[00:22.70] Uh, applying pressure
[00:24.20] Started my grind where crime festers
[00:25.70] And now it's showing like they in they second trimesters (Pregnant)
[00:28.44] That's why when nigga's throw a shot or two online, I pay no mind to their benign gestures (Mm)
[00:33.44] Nigga, please, I got my mind on much bigger things to say the least
[00:36.70] My latest beat just sound like they was released by David East (What up East?)
[00:39.69] Verses hit hard, never pitched hard or played the streets
[00:42.44] These niggas whips hard, behind closed doors, can't pay the lease (Uh)
[00:46.45] Ain't nothin' wrong with livin' check to check 'cause most have to (I understand that)
[00:48.70] Instead of cappin', why don't you talk about being a broke rapper? (I don't understand that)
[00:51.45] That's a perspective I respect because it's real
[00:53.95] What it's like to be nice as fuck but got to stress to pay the bills
[00:56.70] That was me in '08, seein' no cake
[00:58.94] Not even on dates or celebrated my birth
[01:01.95] Just did the mental math and calculated my worth
[01:04.47] Shit crazy, didn't know I got more M's than a real Slim Shady video (How many of us in here?)
[01:08.94] Big Boss, less Rick Ross, more like a wavy Hideo
[01:10.71] Kojima, they tote steamers around the way we tippy-toe
[01:13.44] 'Round crack vials and cold-blooded killers, no reptiles
[01:16.70] Just projectiles, from niggas salty you rockin' the fresher textiles
[01:21.45] I seen best pals grow up and switch (I hate to see it)
[01:22.69] Sometimes over a couple dollars, more often over a bitch (Ah, I hate to see it)
[01:25.44] I can cap and say that I never scratched my jealousy's itch
[01:27.95] But thank God I conquered that 'cause if not I'd never be rich
[01:30.70] Envy, keep your pockets empty, so just focus on you
[01:33.46] If you broke and clownin' a millionaire, the joke is on you
[01:36.19] Money ain't everything, I never say that (Never)
[01:38.45] But niggas throw stones knowin' they sell soul to get wherever they at (Come on, man)
[01:42.46] Just know these verses is some shit they gon' forever playback, nigga (Come on, nigga)
[01:45.44] Hell yeah (Ooh)
[01:50.69] Fuck, you know what it is nigga
[01:53.70] Don't even dare
[01:55.45] Niggas try to act like they don't—, bitch
[01:57.69] That's why I gotta flex sometimes
[02:00.20] 'Cause niggas just try to act like you just not that motherfuckin' nigga like
[02:04.94] Like you just really don't do it how you do it
[02:07.45] Like niggas will really try to act like you don't do what you do
[02:09.94] Nigga look you dead in your face
[02:11.45] And really act like you don't do it to the level that you do it
[02:14.70] That's why sometimes you gotta come through and just do it at the level that you do it in front of every nigga face
[02:20.98] So they know the difference between you, the real niggas, and the mothafuckin' fraudulent niggas, man
[02:27.20] Don't never get it fucked up
[02:29.20] If a nigga can't do it like you do it sometimes you gotta do it in front of his fuckin' face so he'll know forever
[02:33.44] Damn, that nigga did it how I always wanted to do it and I'll never be able to do it like that
[02:37.19] Bitch it's a difference (Ah)
[02:43.95] (These are the same ones telling our people what we are and we aren't because we're just not working hard enough
[02:45.44] And that mentality is what we're up against today
[02:47.70] But this is good to know because this time, when we march on the Capitol
[02:51.70] You can go ahead and let 'em know long before we get there, we're coming to get that check)
