Bunce Road Blues

Steady
Will you be around when I'm ready?
I'd rather you go and be happy
But I don't wanna leave you alone no
All of y'all niggas ***** you shoot at the opps and run from the cops
And I don't get it
I ain't suggesting you fire your weapon at 12 but hell
Why in the **** do we feel that niggas that's lookin' like us who deserve to be killed?
Meanwhile Capitol Hill been makin' it easy for them to go stuff us in cells
I ain't no preacher for real I just like to cut on the mic' and start lettin' it spill
And I've been leavin' a trail you play all my albums and find you a letter revealed
This is a suicidе note come herе look what I wrote I'm 'bout to kill myself
**** J. Cole I don't even want this role wanna rebuild myself
Tuck my pole under the driver's seat nigga don't try to reach
I'll bust a hole right in your frontal lobe that's a lobotomy
Two months ago I was on Bunce Road nigga done spotted me
Said "What's up Cole? Nigga I love you bro"
He said he proud of me that touched my soul
Wasn't too long ago that I was over here at Seventy-First Middle
Had my very first little girlfriend that'll let me get a feel or two
Back then it was considerable enough to void the ridicule
But come another year or two
"Boy you better be ****in' on somethin'" my mama ain't never even give me no rubbers
Papa was gone how to put Trojan on was somethin' I had to discover
All on my own y'all know the song
I probably been singin' this shit for too long
Pardon me if I've been soundin' some broken record
I come from the brokest of homes shit
I come from the brokest of homes
It's 7 o'clock on the dot
I'm in my drop-top cruisin' the streets that I grew up in
I didn't think the same back then
Sayin' "Oh how we changed" my nigga that's when
The pistols go pop bodies drop
They got the block blocked it's the police we ain't see nothin'
I just roll up my **** and get to puffin'
And lay back in my seat oh yes I'm numb again
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh
Uh-oh
Oh yeah uh-oh
Yeah hey
Finding you lose when you choose to neglect
The roots that we grew to protect us oh
The sun has been blinding lately mm
One day you find when your light's out
You always were a bright star to me
Even at times the world didn't say so
One in the morning
If the walls where you once talked would they fess up?
I'm scared of the tales they'll tell us
Much better if I ignore
Steady
Will you be around when I'm ready?
I'd rather you go and be happy
But I don't wanna leave you alone no
Yeah I'm steady
But love might be gone when you're ready
I should move on and be happy
But I don't wanna leave you alone oh
Love is a mountain climb for you
Throw you a line I could pull you
Scared I wouldn't grasp for long
But my holding strong for you
How many ways must I profess?
Gunshot to your head die for me
Hey how can I let you go?
Have mercy it's broken
I'm handcuffed I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed I'm roped in
Have mercy it's broken
I'm handcuffed I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed I'm roped in
I'm handcuffed I'm roped in
