The Storm Lyrics - J. Cole

My man Shawn from around the way son been down from day one 

Never been known for mistakes but was bound to make one 

Her name was Nina 

See he was all about the cash flow 

'Til she came and had this man pussy whipped to the max yo 

A true dime piece describing her 

Brown eyes, caramel skin, thick thighs 

Goes beyond speech 

But besides looks her mind's lost 

Known for kicking cats to the curb 

Leaving their hearts on the sidewalk 

Shawn was one of them 

She said she was loving him 

But only fucked with him because he had some funds coming in 

He couldn't see it though 

She was cheating and he didn't even know 

He even bought a crib with this female hoe 

In the ride, mad jewels, mad clothes, mad shoes 

And to show his commitment he got her name tattooed 

I gotta hand it to her 

She had the stuff planned out 

But watch what happened when her luck ran out

What goes around comes around 

What goes up must come down 

You up now but you'll get yours 

Some how 

Some day 

In some way, shape, or form 

Revenge is coming 

No way to escape the storm 

Time passes 

Shawn is thinking about wedding rings 

But he knows the signs of cheating and doesn't wanna believe them 

He disregards them 

Goes out for diamond rings shopping 

Now the big question is when is he gonna pop it 

Waiting for the right time 

Meanwhile Nina's the same hoe 

Like a snare drum but bangs way more 

For Shawn up to this point shit's going well 

'Til one day his homeboy hit him on his cell, like: 

"Yo son you wont believe this, I just seen your chick." 

("Where?") 

"In the mall with this cat, he was palming her ass 

I swear to God son 

Need me to run up on him and drop him?" 

"Nah, chill I got this 

I'll hit you back if it's popping" 

He hung up but called Nina 

"Where you at? What you doing?" 

"At the mall with some friends buying new Timbs." 

Something sounded funny 

She was lying for sure 

But Shawn had a little plot of his own

What goes around comes around 

What goes up must come down 

You up now but you'll get yours 

Some how 

Some day 

In some way, shape, or form 

Revenge is coming 

No way to escape the storm 

What goes around comes around 

What goes up must come down 

You up now but you'll get yours 

Some how 

Some day 

In some way, shape, or form 

Revenge is coming 

Peep how he plays this whore 

I missed you (Aw) 

Missed you so bad I followed you (What, where?) 

Followed you all the way to your boyfriend's ron de vous (What?) 

Yeah bitch you caught now 

So don't even try to give me that shit you thought how it wasn't you who I saw now (No it wasn't) 

You trifling hoe 

I gave my whole life to you yo 

And now you basically shove a knife in my throat (It's not like that) 

But it's alright though 

The same cat you was fucking with then 

Is currently laying dead in the trunk of my Benz (Oh God) 

Yeah get to crying 

In a minute you'll be there beside him 

And by the time the cops find you I'll be in the islands (No, I'm sorry) 

Visualizing what could have been between me and you 

It was just just a dream 

You fucked up the thing between us two 

So now it's pick your piece before you leave this earth bitch (We can work this out) 

I hope that shit was worth it 

And now I pray that God is merciless 

With this said 

Goodbye to the reason I lived this life (Shawn) 

Pointed the gat to her mouth 

Long kiss goodnight (No) 

What goes around comes around 

What goes up must come down 

You up now but you'll get yours 

Some how 

Some day 

In some way, shape, or form 

Revenge is coming 

No way to escape the storm
