Won't Be Long (J. Cole Cover)

[Hook] Say it won't be long For we out here baby Got to get you up out here baby [Verse 1] Big dreams, for a small boy This culture change you quick and you'll be out like Boy George No respect for the essence blessings The presence is not a lesson No reason for this confession The answer is not a question Now I know them lines went over ya head Let me go back ill describe on what I said There's discrimination around my nation I ain't talking bout the races of faces segregated in places I'm talking about this thing called hip-hop The youngings keep on doing until the critics make em stop You see that you ruin lives He just wanna be a rapper now he back on the streets making pies Already killed his dreams no telling if he's alive Stay in the gutter so no telling if he's alive I just pray that he survive No one deserves defications on they dreams just for them to die [Hook] [Verse 2] I have the same dreams too But its more likely that these nightmares become the ones that come true It only takes one person just to make you and break you And that one person should only be you It should only be true, it should never be through All these fire breathing dragons they should never be fueled Before you blowup Don't mind what these people have to throwup When you fix your flow and give and go no way they making you Hol up Hol up Who am I talking to I need to talk to you critics Cause y'all the ones that have us flipping ballistic There's constructive criticism then these being implicit Why not help an artist out if they ain't sounding terrific Cause the comments that y'all leave on twitter YouTube and blogs Sometimes go a little too far Saying homie you ass man you should kill yourself That can make a crazy man go and do it, and you ain't going thru it We can rap about our life and all the troubles and pains Or talk about my car cash woman and chains Its still a struggle either way And I'll be damned if I stopped and I was told for my life to take away Cuz if I stop this thing, then my life will take away I'm resurrected so I can wreck this musical game One day ill make it great and never worry what they say Right now all I can do is pray then I sing [Hook] [Bridge] I wreck it, direct the preference For the record I check the reference J. Cole is the first I'm second Who else give this beat a blessing? [Hook]
