J. COLE - IMMORTAL SONGLYRICS
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 thin's 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 kin', 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
Kin'pin nigga, put win's 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...
