Tears For Odb Lyrics - Truly Yours - J. Cole

(Verse) 

Tears for ODB, drug induced poetry 

What's the use? Strung out from that drug abuse 

What was me? 

80's baby so I know my pops was getting high 

In the 90's me and mama barely getting by 

2000's, I was concentrating more on getting fly 

Getting bitches, getting rich to get the shit I couldn't buy 

You know the story, you know my allegory 

I was sent from heaven with a set of horns, they better warn yall 

I'm here for more then just the kicks, some witty metaphors dawg 

This more uh the type of shit you spit to set a war off 

Cuz niggas be poor, get money, then still don't know 

With the fuck they can't cop a house, the system meant to lock us out 

But I'm knockin down the doors, strapped up with a 4-4 

Robin Hood shit and yea I'm hood rich 

That's good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip 

Get good hand from a good bitch 

I give 2 shits, I'mma tell you straight up

(Hook) 

Straight up 

Straight up 

Byany chance, I'mma take it 

Rather die before I fake it 

They say life is what you make it, bitch 

But I'm just tryna make it straight up 

Straight up 

Straight up 

By any chance, I'mma take it 

Rather die before I fake it 

They say life is what you make it, bitch

(Verse) 

Lord have mercy on my soul, what I've done and what I've seen 

My life has tumbled into that, which only you could intervene 

I put my heart in senseless things - money, bitches and street shit 

Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won't be shit 

Grew up in this bitch without a pot to piss, no toilet 

How ironic, I took a lot of shit 

Like a bottom bitch or a model chick, high off coke 

They locking sons up for less, I don't care how yall cope 

But yet I still pedal this dope and these pills 

I never known how sittin comfy on that Oprah seat feels 

More than likely be on most wanted posters we steal 

Holding on to old dreams of being Hova, be real 

We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles 

Left for dead, some niggas fled, people say they sold they souls 

I just think they found a better way 

Lord knows I never prayed 

But sometimes I be wishin I could levitate 

I take this straight up 

(Hook) 

Straight up 

Straight up 

Byany chance, I'mma take it 

Rather die before I fake it 

They say life is what you make it, bitch 

But I'm just tryna make it straight up 

Straight up 

Straight up 

By any chance, I'mma take it 

Rather die before I fake it 

They say life is what you make it, bitch 

But I'm just tryna make it straight up 

(Outro) 

Hey 

Hey 

Go away 

2-6 faded out shit 

For all my niggas still going through it 

Yea 

Straight up 

My niggas gotta learn something 

It's 2012 nigga 

And we're still killing ourselves 

You ought to know by now nigga 

Now you gon never know 

Yo
