[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh
[Chorus: Future]
f*ck do you know 'bout my passion?
f*ck do you know 'bout my pain?
f*ck do you know 'bout my struggle?
f*ck do you know 'bout Jermaine?
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
They say the Lord's timing is divine
And I walk with Him, so that explains mine
Cole, deep down you may find all that pain creates a strange bond
Slums connected like the drums in a bass line
Petrified of death and poverty, I chase mine
Like breathalyzer tests, I'm tryna walk a straight line
Meditating for a better state in my deranged mind
Till I saw the Buddha pose and realized he throwin' gang signs
I guess the lesson is you can't escape crime
Even when the strays flying, I remain calm
Fayettenam, you my heart, but at the same time
If I'm being honest, I can feel that flame dyin', uh
[Pre-Chorus: J. Cole]
So I'm ridin' through the city streets reachin' for a memory to hang on
Goin' backwards like a penalty to see a younger me, but that day's gone
Wild times looking up at cloud nine, how high can Jermaine climb?
Remember when they ain't respond when you holla?
Funny how a few dollars can change minds
[Chorus: Future & J. Cole]
f*ck do you know 'bout my passion? (Ta-ra-ra, ra-ra)
f*ck do you know 'bout my pain?
f*ck do you know 'bout my struggle? (Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra)
f*ck do you know 'bout Jermaine?
Ten toes is down on the pavement (Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra)
Umbrellas don't stop no rain
Niggas, they die everyday (Ra-ra, ra-ra-ra)
f*ck the world, let's run a train
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Since I was a pipsqueak, lean on survival instincts
On backstreets, where they're tearin' up hearts like them guys in NSYNC*
Codeine in they soda, dirty poppin' plus how the ends meet
When serving rock on deserted blocks tryna cause a frenzy
To profit quickly, I'm passin' by, my pockets empty
Tryna to make a legal dollar seem harder than guarding Wemby
When you're hardly six feet tall, if somehow I could ball
I better work hard on my handles, 'cause niggas gon' try to rip me
Don't wanna RIP, but if I leave, know God'll lift me
I'd rather sit inside a Bentley and be the owner like providin' kidneys
I know the love does not extend deep
I choose my homies wisely, seen too many die from friends beef
Big dreams to change the world back when I ride a ten-speed
Youthful delusion thinkin' through music I could end grief
When too many bodies get piled up in these rivals' histories
So stoppin' this violence is like bringing the Gaza Strip peace, uh
[Pre-Chorus: J. Cole]
So I'm ridin' through the city streets reachin' for a memory to hang on
Goin' backwards like a penalty to see a younger me, but that day's gone
Wild times looking up at cloud nine, how high can Jermaine climb?
Remember when they ain't respond when you holla?
Funny how a few dollars can change minds
[Chorus: Future & J. Cole]
f*ck do you know 'bout my passion? (Ta-ra-ra, ra-ra)
f*ck do you know 'bout my pain?
f*ck do you know 'bout my struggle? (Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra)
f*ck do you know 'bout Jermaine?
Ten toes is down on the pavement (Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra)
Umbrellas don't stop no rain
Niggas, they die everyday (Ra-ra, ra-ra-ra)
f*ck the world, let's run a train
[Outro: Future]
f*ck the world, let's run a train
f*ck the world, let's run a train
f*ck the world, let's run a train
f*ck the world, let's run a train
In a world
In a world
In a world
