Låttexter: J. Cole. Premeditated Murder.

Am I changing right before your eyes?
Becoming someone you don't recognize?
As if I was desguised,
I'm on that shit as if I was the flies
I'm touchin' skies, no puffin' lie
Man these songs that I made in my bedroom and shit
'gon finally get a nigga leg room in the whip
from a Civic to a 7, must have died and went to heaven,
like a passenger on 9/11, please go find a reverend
you see I promised that I'd never change,
but that was way before I made the dough and met the game,
say hello, to miss thing I forgot your name, she yellow
and even white women want a nigga, Othello
I'm ballin' with Nuggets like fuck it I'm Carmello
Now the crib got much rooms, Portabello
she drop it low and then she bust moves for the fellow
I sit your ass down like you was playin' the cello
see, you niggas hated and I levitated further
knew I would kill the game, premeditated murder
so if it comes down to may the best man win,
no sweat like a headband nigga

where I'm from,
if you've ever seen what I've seen,
you know it can get no better for me,
no, it can't get no better for me.
where I'm from,
if you've ever seen what I've seen,
you know it can get no better for me,
no, it can't get no better for me.

I'ma kill the game and invite witnesses,
no death penalties I'm givin' life sentances
like keep grindin' boy your life can change in one year
and even when it's dark out the sun is shinin' somewhere
yeah, look here I pay dues,
my own worst enemy so fuck it either way I can't lose
808's so my south niggas feel me,
light-skinn it so them house niggas feel me,
she catch me creepin' out your house she gon' kill me
is it worth it for whats under that blouse?
my heart'd turn pitch black and cold if I split with my girl,
if I could gift wrap the globe I'd give you the world
but, do you love me like you used to?
even though I ain't that nigga that your used to?, yeah
remember back when I was broke you would fix me?
do you prefer the broke me or the rich me?
The broke me couldn't buy you meals, not even a value meal
now I pay for everything how you feel?
mixed feelings 'cause now all the chicks feelin' him
you gotta adapt though I'm never goin' back

where I'm from,
if you've ever seen what I've seen,
you know it can get no better for me,
no, it can't get no better for me.
where I'm from,
if you've ever seen what I've seen,
you know it can get no better for me,
no, it can't get no better for me.

I can't keep runnin' away.
I can't keep runnin' away.
I swear I'm comin' back one day...
But what if I'm wrong?
And I ain't got what it takes?
All them people that was countin' on me...
Boy won't you climb down the mountain for me?
