Night Rider lyrics
by J. Cole
Look at me, pathetic n*gga, this chain that I bought
You mix breed, fame, and pain, this it's heinous result
Let these words be the colors, I'm just painting my heart
I'm knee-deep in the game and it ain't what I thought
Copped a Range Rover my girl got the Mercedes
Iced out crazy, I wanna shine like Baby
Compared to that n*gga I ain't even got a bib yet
Truth be told, I ain't even bought a crib yet
This is everything they told a n*gga not to do
Images, everything I see, it got a lot to do
With the way people perceive, then what they believe
Money short, so this jewelry is like a weave
Here to deceive and hear n*ggas say, "I see you"
Now b*tches wanna f*ck you and n*ggas wanna be you
The police wanna stop you, frisk you, wonder, "What he do?"
If a hater snatch a chain I bet it still won't free you
Cause I'll be right back grindin' 'til I cop another
I sit and think 'bout all the sh*t I could've copped my mother
My partner say, "That's just the game, my n*gga"
So I hear my jeweler say, "Here goes your chain, my n*gga"
