Immortal letra J. Cole Immortal letra |
Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope
|
Screamin', dollar and a dream with my closet lookin' broke
|
And my nigga's lookin' clean, gettin' caught up with that dope
|
Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?
|
Nigga I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know
|
Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?
|
Flashbacks to the pain, wakin' up, cold sweats
|
Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BoFlex
|
Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops
|
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
|
Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
|
And the drought got me prayin' for a car time vibe
|
Summer Rain come again
|
Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon
|
In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin'
|
Eyes wellin' up with tears
|
Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt
|
Immortalized on this shirt
|
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Form with the plot
|
One-Seven-Forty-Five
|
Form at the plot
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Form on the plot
|
Hood niggas don't lie
|
Form on the plot
|
My niggas don't die
|
Form on the plot
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Form on the plot
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Real niggas don't die
|
|
Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon?
|
Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon?
|
Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cried?
|
Have you ever seen a motherfuckin' ribbon in the sky?
|
Nope, all I see is that C.R.E.A.M nigga, that green
|
I'm a black king, black jeans on my black queen
|
And her ass fat, too fat for a flat screen
|
I'm the type of nigga make the whole fuckin' trap lean
|
Kingpin nigga, put wings on a crack fiend
|
If they want a nigga, they gon' have to send a SWAT team
|
And I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene
|
A legend, what that mean?
|
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Form with the plot
|
One-Seven-Forty-Five
|
Form at the plot
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Form on the plot
|
Hood niggas don't lie
|
Form on the plot
|
My niggas don't die
|
Form on the plot
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Form on the plot
|
Real niggas don't die
|
Real niggas don't die
|
|
To die a young legend or live a long life unfulfilled
|
'Cause you wanna change the world
|
But while alive you never will
|
'Cause they only feel you after you gone, or I've been told
|
And now I'm caught between bein' heard and gettin' old
|
Damn, death creepin' in my thoughts lately
|
My one wish in this bitch make it quick if the Lord take me
|
I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
|
And so I hustle like my niggas in Virgini-A
|
They tellin' niggas sell dope, rap or go to NBA, in that order
|
It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained
|
At the bottom and hanged
|
The strangest fruit that you ever seen, ripe with pain
|
| Listen...
