[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Dear Mrs Bill Collector
I know you just doing your job, don't mean to disrespect ya
But we been going through this thing since way back
I told you when I get the dough I would pay back
But I got problems baby
(Yeah, if you only knew) I got bigger problems baby
Hey
So why you talking about the money that I owe
Like as if I didn't know man it don't mean nothing to me
'Cause right now I got my little boy crying and my grandmother dying
Could you please stop fucking with me, listen here
I ain't looking for no tears but my brother got a year
And my mother keep smoking that shit
On top of that I'm broke, please put that in your notes
For the next one to call me up talking that shit
And then I holla
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]
I just can’t take this shit anymore
I just might lose control
I feel like letting it go
Please just leave me
I need to be left
And if I'm wrong (I'm wrong)
Then let me be wrong
Just leave me alone
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Dear Mr Policeman
Ayy, am I wrong or ain't you supposed to keep the peace man
I could have swore that I was driving pretty peaceful
So why the hell is you pulling over me for?
Is it this black Mercedes?
Oh no I get it I get it I get it
Or 'cause I'm black? Hmm maybe
Yeah hey tell me why my hands start sweating
And I hold my breath every time that you get behind me
I turn my music down so you won't hear a sound
Man I'm nervous like I got a couple pounds on me
You pulled me over, you frowned on me
With your flashlight tell me what do you see
Thug n***as drug dealers it's a trip
Every n***a in this whip got a mother fucking college degree
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]
I just can’t take this shit anymore
I just might lose control
I feel like letting it go
Please just leave me alone
I need to be left alone
And if I'm wrong (I'm wrong)
Then let me be wrong
Just leave me alone
[Verse 3: J. Cole]
Yea, my middle finger to the law, bustin off, tryna touch the sky
My teacher said, "Impossible", but I'ma fuckin try
Plus how he gon' tell me, he don't make the rules
There's n***as dying everyday, man, we don't make the news
Instead they talkin bout some thunderstorm, cyclones
Timmy got his bike stole, top story, Tiger Woods "be fuckin all these white hoes"
Anchorman stop snitchin
Cut the commercial, he be texting all the side bitches, hey my goodness
How ironic, on trial for possession of some chronic
My lawyer came to court, man he was higher than the comet
Hey your honor, is you kidding? How you sit above me?
Are you perfect motherfucker, how you finna judge me?
When you home you don't cuss, drink and puff like us
These cops is bad boys, baby just like Puff
They hate they jobs and they days be fucked up like us
At the end of the day, you n***as just like us
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]
I just can’t take this shit anymore
I just might lose control
I feel like letting it go
Please just leave me alone
I need to be left alone
And if I'm wrong (I'm wrong)
Then let me be wrong
Just leave me alone
