Killers Lyrics - J. Cole

Momma I just killed a man 

My body still trembling can you feel my hand 

Don't shed no tears, it won't be long before they find out it was me momma 

This may be the last time you see me free ma 

Don't spend it cryin' 

You did your best, me I was blessed, know you were stressed tryin' 

To keep me out the streets, me ducking police 

Tryin' not to make a peek to wake you up out your sleep 

A drunk and high fool 

Skip a class, fluncking high school 

I know you taught me better, somehow I never learned 

Said I was playing with fire, somehoe I never burned 

You tried to set me straight, somehow I never permed 

You tried to show me right but somehow I never turned 

Lost in a cloud of marijuana, are you sane dummy 

Dry your face mommy, your not to blame for me 

See I'm a man, I gotta take whatever came for me 

At times I wonder 'bout my father 

Would it change for me if he was around? 

Would I still be running round with the lowlife's 

Bum ass n-ggas no jobs, no life 

Seen them n-ggas killed for no price 

I watched his life flash before his eyes like a strobe light 

I pulled the trigger momma 

Tryna be hard, I aint mean to kill the n-gga momma 

But what's done is done 

I'm on the run, I live my life like a movie now it's way too realer 

Who woulda thought your baby boy woulda grew up to be a killer

Yeh, now I'm a killer 

Guess I'm a killer 

They got me in here with the killers 

Yeah I mean the killers 

I wonder whats in store for me 

Lately been stressing, pray for blessings, hope that there's more for me 

Than just a simple life 

N-ggas that I used to hoop with is doing triple life 

Gave up the jump shot 

Work on the john shot 

Who woulda thought I used to block this n-ggas lay ups 

Now he's in a cell layed up 

I wish you well, stay up 

Like insomniacs 

This life can make a n-gga fold like a laundry mat 

I sip this cognac though to ease my brain from all this pain 

And so that I react slow, in this fast world 

Photos 

Slow n-ggas, fast girls 

Hoes give up ass while these ho n-ggas hold triggers 

Blast on 'em 

Hold up that old checker flag for 'em 

Chalk lines by the do not park sign 

It's deep, all these cold hearted n-ggas holding heat 

I'd rather blast before they steal a n-gga 

Tell 'em now boy, don't make me turn into a killer 

Yeah, into a killer 

Don't make me turn into a killer 

Yeah, to a killer, yeh yeh 

To those who had love for me in the past 

Who woulda thought time would fly by so fast 

I remember back in class we used to make believe 

Like it was draft day 

Swore that we would make the league, be rich 

Saturday morning had to rake the leaves, awww shit 

Watch how they pile up 

Seem like a mile up 

I was the blisters on my hand than I dial up my best friend 

Skating ring is where we headed tonight 

And if a n-gga disrespect, yes we ready to fight 

In retrospect that shit seemed petty 

At the time, the shit was heavy 

Cause life was all about your name 

You had to scrap with any n-gga that would call you lame 

Ashamed no doubt, so many n-ggas go they brains blown out 

Snatched a n-gga chain and he got his name rolled out in obituaries 

Another body in a cemetary 

Another young n-gga in the penetentiary 

And he don't give a f-ck no missionary 

Rap visionary, paint a picture n-gga pictionary 

Tell you what it is, I'm a dictionary 

I knew a n-gga that threw his d-ck in every chick in every city that he went to 

Went hard like the rent do 

Till he met the wrong bitch, man just came home ex-convict 

And he stay on with that Thriller 

Shit, f-cking around with them killers 

Yeah, with them killers 

F-cking around with them killers 

Say I'm a killer
