J Cole - St Tropez Live Lyrics

[Intro]
Listen, huh
Ay put your hands in the air one time, throw your hands in the air, one time, one time, hey
Put your hands in the air two times, throw your hands in the air two times, two times, two six
Put your hands in air three times, throw your hands in the air three times, three times, hey
Put your hands in the air four times, throw your motherfuckin' hands up and sing

[Verse 1]
Roll up and smoke my sins away I’d like to go to St. Tropez Maybe I'll go, maybe I'll stay Maybe I’ll stay
She asked me if I'm scared to fly To tell the truth, I'm terrified I never been that high before Very bad reason not to go (I know) Terrible reason not to go (I know)
Sing

[Verse 2]
Ay from the door I showed you my scars And I told you girl, "I won't lie" If we at war, then this is a war that I can't afford, no I, I, I I wanted more
But that was before Lord knows I'm torn, so I–I cry (No I, I, I)
From the corner of my eye, baby It's been hard for me to smile Lately, it's been hard for me to smile Lately, it's been hard for me to smile Lately, it's
Been hard for me to smile

[Spoken Interlude]

Put your hands in the air two times, throw your motherfuckin' hands in the-air

[Spoken Interlude]

Y'all feeling alright man, make some motherfuckin' noise one time
This shit crazy, man y'all don't even realize this shit is like
This shit is unreal man lemme- lemme talk to y'all for a second
I want to talk to y'all- because
It's cool for me to come out here tonight
It's just an honor to be able to fuckin' sell out the Crown and shit and come back home and this shit is retarded in itself I appreciate y'all, thank you man
But it's one thing for me to come out here tonight and just perform the whole album for y'all, that's already amazing, thank y'all for letting me do that shit, you know what I mean that's already crazy
Niggas don't do that type of shit, perform they whole albums
But it's one thing to just come and do the songs, that's cool, I love doing that I do that every day of my life
But, me personally, I like to use the shows as an opportunity that I don't ever really get like that
But I love to do it
And that's the opportunity to come here and speak directly to y'all and have y'all feel every word that I'm fuckin' saying to you that's what I like to do
So right now, I want to talk to y'all about- this song right here that I just did
The name of that song is called St. Tropez right, that's the name of that song, St. Tropez
But if I'm being honest with y'all
If I'm keeping it funky
If I'm being real
If I'm keeping it a hunnid
Or if I'm keeping it fo' hunnid how my nigga YG fo' hunnid be fuckin' saying
He love YG, look at him (laughs) aight'
If I'm being real, then the truth is
Nigga, I don't even know where the fuck St. Tropez is at
I don't know it's at
I don't give a fuck (laughs)
When I talk about St. Tropez in the song-
What I do know about St. Tropez is, it seems like the type of place that really rich people go to when they got a lot of fuckin' money and they wanna vacation and be on a yacht with champagne glasses and bikinis- it seem like that type of place
But when I talk about it on this song it's just a metaphor
What this song is about, and y'all gon' feel me, y'all gon' feel me cause I'm home, and y'all gon' feel me
What this song is about, and a lot of people don't understand this cause I be doing shows in New York, Los Angeles, you know fuckin' Chicago, big ass cities
So they don't feel me, they don't know what it's like to be somebody that's from a small town, a place like Fayetteville you know what I mean they don't know what it's like
They can't really relate to that shit, so what I'm trying to explain to them is
When I'm talking about St. Tropez on this song it's just a metaphor
We grow up our whole- our whole lives watching TV, looking at the movies, seeing places like what- like Paris, London England, St. Tropez, New York City, Chicago, L.A. right?
And as a kid from Fayetteville what do we tell ourselves?
"Man one day I'ma go there, one day I'ma go there" right?
What ends up happening?
A lot of times because we come from a small town what happens?
We suffer from what we call a small-town mentality now what does that mean?
That means we grow up our whole lives seeing these places, and we tell ourselves we gon' go
But as we grow up we get way too comfortable in our comfort zone, right?
And we too afraid to leave, right?
That's why so many people- ain't really stepping out the city like that, they too afraid to go right?
So what I'm talking about on this song is tryna give y'all insight to the mentality that I had to overcome
If you know anything about my story you know when I turned 18 I said "fuck this shit" I moved all the way to New York City I ain't know nobody in fucking New York- but I left
I left the Ville and I went to New York I took a leap of faith
Fast forward the rest is history
Right now- listen
I want to take a break from all this album shit
And I want to perform a song that only- only those people that's been fucking with me from day one is gon' fuck with
I don't know how many people in here that been fucking with me
