J Cole - Sideline Story Remix Lyrics

[Intro: Fifth Business]

[Verse 1: Fifth Business]

I just want to get it right, and live life in a nice crib
With white skinned girls walking right in, I might man
But until then I hope my mind stay bright
Cause I like to keep the lights dim with a girl in my right hand
I know we taking off this the flight plan
My girl ain't talking back I heard she looking for the right man
Hah, so this what I'm saying
You told me you was faithful but that's not what other guys claim
But I was wrong to dwell in my pain cause obviously
I'm the one who wronged you when the time came
And I'm sorry for repeating myself
Opportunities preceeded the need for feeding my self
I was couch surfing, street sleeping, bullshit I was knee deep in
Always had them kicks to throw my motherfuckin' feet in
Meaning, that's just another reason
For y'all to duck when I'm leaping, giving daps then I'm peacing
My demeanour's never leaving not even for a weekend or a holiday
I've just been working for a solid pay
Trynna get these dollars raised before I start my scholar phase
Where all my people holler Jay and it's safe to ball away
But hey, I ain't coming home yet, man
I still got the summer, sun is never go'n set, hey
I called my man up like who you running from yet
Man my city is greedy but it can stomach your debts
Cause from here? You can rise or you can plummet instead
I was homeless so it led to me just fuckin' for beds
But I guess in retrospect I was stuck in a sense
Cause all I wanted was love but I was loving the sex
Then regrets would follow, followed by blatant disrespect
Cause I was hatin' my decisions like incisions to the neck
Just, fishing for a cheque, wishing I was set
But after a year of misery imprisonment was next
Then I was, bailed out and shipped off to rehab
And it was seemingly eating at my disease that was
Slowly killing my soul my old life wasn't appealing no more
Still the feelings are drawn but Jordan stayed and Tanner is gone
Bitch!
