J Cole - Fortunate Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Look

[Verse 1]
I tend to drink while I drive, don't know why, I
Am so fortunate, I’m still alive, I
Don't make me lose my mellow, I ain't LaLa
They gon’ ask for me, like the Wi-Fi
Hit 'em and go, flee (Hit 'em go)
Niggas gettin' no cheese (Niggas gettin' no)
Nigga be charged up (Charged up)
Ain't gettin' no fee
Know niggas who OD
Get high as the nosebleeds
And I'm so fortunate (Fortunate)
I’m in the floor seats

[Chorus]
Live my life on the edge (On the edge)
I’m surprised I'm alive
When I prayed He heard every word I said
He heard every word I said (I said)
Remember fightin’ for my life
When they arrived they swung that knife right at my neck
Lord knows I could be dead (Dead)
Stay out these streets, they can only make you bleed
They can only make you bleed, yeah
You could be next (Next)
Stay out these streets, they can only make you bleed
Only make you bleed, yeah
[Verse 2]
As an adolescent, I had to learn some lessons, right
If the vehicle move slow, gotta duck, gotta go hide
Life flashed right before my eyes
Homie clutched the pistol on the side
Pizza man could've just died
We ain't takin' chances with our lives
So I close my hands and I pray and I pray
We spend so much time tryna count up our money
That we never count up our days, ayy
A regular day in L.A
A nigga dies in the summertime over colors that fade, instead of a fade
A gun to the face, I know I got angels
’Cause otherwise I don't know how a nigga survive

[Chorus]
Live my life on the edge (On the edge)
I'm surprised I'm alive
When I prayed He heard every word I said
He heard every word I said (I said)
Remember fightin' for my life
When they arrived they swung that knife right at my neck
Lord knows I could be dead (Dead)
Stay out these streets, they can only make you bleed
They can only make you bleed, yeah
You could be next (Next)
Stay out these streets, they can only make you bleed
Only make you bleed, yeah
