The Badness

[Produced by J Cole] [Verse 1: J.Cole] Yea, keep following me, keep calling me Yea, yea, yea Ay, believe in God like the sun up in the sky Science can tell us how it can't tell us why I seen a baby cry then seconds later she laughed The beauty of life, the pain never lasts The rain always past, the sun don’t always shine When its gone I'm lonely, but when its there Im fine I hate the winter time because the nights come quicker The light make them whites think Im a nice young nigga But at night they think twice and walk a little faster Its funny, 100 years ago I woulda called this nigga master How the tables turn but still the fire burning huh I feel the heat the world is a dryer turning, turning Im looking for some higher learning, learning Girl you what I desire, yearning, yearning You say Im easily distracted I think the problem is Im easily attracted by the darkside The temptation got me questioning where my heart lies I'm tryna separate myself like apartheid But ay the liquor keep swallowing I swear I walk with God but the devil keep following I say the devil keep following, following I say the devil keep following, following I say the devil keep following, following [Verse 2: Omen] Feel like I'm riding on a chartered plane of broken hearted pain Turbulence is constant my pilot has gone insane If I can find a parachute to parasail Maybe these parasites of paranoia won't prevail Character dope as hell, but where is my parallel sweetheart Deep thoughts lost in my brain so I sleep hard Nights with no progress Mane im thinking like I'll probably find a Loch Ness In the projects before I find this Object of my love, this object of my heart Guitar strings have strum in search of my counterpart Bound to start drinking or smoking, sinking this ocean Leaping through the badness hoping Im reaching for closeness Feel like the devil keep following me Feel like the devil keep following me
