3 Wishes Lyrics - Truly Yours 2 - J. Cole

Yeah grew up with killers, I didn't know they was killers 

We was just together man, playing Mega-man on Sega man 

Your mama loved me to death, she reminded me of Afeni 

Yeah real black queen 

If I had a genie, 

I wish that she ain't struggle no more 

Y'all wouldn't have to go to sleep with all the roaches if she wasn't so poor 

You told me when you came to my house 

This shit was like a timeout from reality 

One night you asked me what I'm crying about 

Cause you was staying over for the weekend 

I woke up from out my sleep 

When I heard mama and my stepfather beefin 

I don't know if he been drinkin 

But I know this shit got loud and I heard rumbling from struggling 

And rolling on the ground 

Could never get used to that sound 

My mama saying get off me 

My tears is tumbling now 

I wish that you never saw me 

Cause I ll, felt like a coward, so powerless I was only 12

And grab the Glock right off the fucking shelf 

If nothing else scared a nigga shitless 

There goes two of my wishes 

Forever scarred, determined to get some heart 

No matter how big the nigga, no matter how small you are 

Fast-forward to our older years 

Two different paths 

You used to talk to me about college but that shit didn't last 

Waste of potential, getting cash, what could I say? 

So tired of not having things, you never see it my way 

Too proud to fold, your 

Your demise 

One day to my surprise, my nigga called me, told me you just caught a body twice your size 

I asked if it was self defense, he said it was defense of pride 

And that they trying to give you ten, but if you lucky you'll do five damn 

Not my nigga 

The same one that told me that things always get better 

Just trust me, don't cry my nigga 

The news call him a killer, but he my nigga 

Sad shit 

Hey yo genie last wish, free my nigga.
