J. Cole
No Role Modelz (Freestyle)
[Intro]
Shout out to the ones who know
Hold tight like I'm never letting go
I saved them
I saved them
I saved them
I saved them
[Verse 1]
Never thought that I would be a role model
Whole lotta sour as the pith hire my own product
So cover what I've covered and money blown in drone mode
Power I was in love with it when I discovered it
Never knew I was barking at
Sipping on a roach, barely can breathe, I choked
No seeds, no stems, between the leaves of the trees as I float out my glass house knowing it's broke like how did they know
[Hook 1]
Shout out to the ones who kept on
Shout out to the ones at home
Shout out to the ones who slept on
Thinking God can't save they soul
He'll save them
Yeah, He'll save them
He'll save them
He saved me
[Verse 2]
I mean who woulda known
Picture me as a role model
With a whole lotta baggage in my back pack
Weed in the knapsack
Hennessey sipped like a cup of tea
What if life seemed like a dream, not Martin Luther King's, a fact that
Life lived clean for Jesus seems hard to get
Far fetched to a non-believer but I've seen and apparently I've fallen next to His feet in the sand
Like a lamb, He carries me
Committed to forgiveness to the dead that had buried me
In a coffin they carry me like a bride, I'm marrying at the side of the King
I arrived meet Him at the sky
Fly and say bye to the world I tarried in
He was sent for me
I could never be
Anything to Him
He chose to be a friend of me
Been His enemy
Stressing over petty beef used poison as a remedy
Sentence too long, same song different melody
Product of what the world was selling me
What I better be made new in the image of the heavenly
Seconds can measure what I treasure in this life but I inherit in what the screaming mean
And what I could never be, never dreamed to believe but I seek and move, sprout trees
The moment I open up your palm, the doubt leaves
The presence of the Holy Spirit just surrounds me
It drowns me
The waters that I walk on, astounding and they say
[Hook 2]
Shout out to the ones who slept on
Shout out to the ones at home
Soon as they wake, we crept on
Hold tight I could never let them go
I saved them
I saved them
I can't save them
No God, only You
Only You can save 'em
Shout out to the ones who kept on
Shout out to the ones at home
Shout out to the ones who slept on
Thinking God can't save my soul
He'll save them
He'll save them
He'll save them
He could save them
He could save them
He could save them
He could save them
Yeah, yeah
He could save them yeah, yeah
Who woulda thought I would be a role model
Who woulda thought I would be a role model
Only following after You Lord
[Interlude]
Shame on you
If you fool me we can't get fooled again
[Outro]
The world ain't gonna fool me no more
