[Intro]

It's way darker this time

[Hook]

Sometimes I brag like Hov

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Sometimes I brag like Hov

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Sometimes I brag like Hov

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Sometimes I brag like Hov

Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight

Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I brag like Hov

Sometimes I'm real like Pac

Sometimes I focus on the flow to show the skills I got

Sometimes I focus on the dough

Look at these bills I got

This is a message for some rappers trying to steal my spot

You niggas famous on the internet

I'm real life hot

Homie, get your weight up

Fake niggas get sprayed up

My verbal AK slay faggots

And I don't mean no disrespect whenever I say faggot, okay faggot

Don't be so sensitive

If you want to get fucked in the ass

That's between you and whoever else's dick it is

Pause, maybe that line was too far

Just a little joke to show how homophobic you are

And who can blame ya

Boy Meets World

I'm trying to find a new Topanga

And bang her out, no hanging out

My pops was club hopping back when Rick James was out

And all I get is Trinidad James

Wait a minute that's strange

Sip a bit of champagne, say fuck

If the hoes like it

I love it nigga nigga nigga

Used to watch Rap City Big Tigga Tigga

Rap nerd even copped Rah Digga Digga

Pac had a nigga saying fuck Jigga, fuck Biggie

I was only like eleven so forgive me

A decade later I be all up in the city

Trying to get Hov to fuck with me

With a burned CD full of jams that was up in my hand

When he said he didn't want it

It was, fuck him again

One day, he gon' regret playing me

Little did I know

In a year he'd be fucking paying me

What can you say to me

I beat the odds like Vegas

I use to rap about haters before niggas was hating me

Now they hate to see a young Black man with a college degree

Fucking all these little models for free

Pardon me

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

I'm prince of the city

I studied Machiavelli

You niggas couldn't blow with C4 strapped to your belly

I snuck up out the parks where niggas be living heartless

And cannot tell the difference between Iraqi, Israeli

So I'm wondering really

What could you actually tell me

I'm tryna keep my homie from throwing crack in the skully

So, back with this pen to give back for my sins

Took a black president to tell the Japanese sorry

But who the fuck gon' tell my niggas sorry

Never seen his pops cause he's sorry

Fuck the education

Would ask for reparations

But I'm probably just gonna buy Ferraris, vroom

Please forgive him

According to the preacher man he needs Jesus in him

But the Devil run the T.V. so the demons in him

I'm in trouble

Did a deal with the Devil but now I'm pleading with him

Like give me my soul

[Bridge]

My nigga

I ain't ever letting you go again

I ain't ever letting go

I ain't ever letting you go again

Please give me my soul

I ain't ever letting go

I ain't ever letting you go again

Please give me my soul

I ain't ever letting go

But the Devil don't play fair

[Refrain]

I'm bout to go and join the Illuminati

Fuck everybody

I'm bout to go and join the Illuminati

Fuck everybody

I'm bout to go and join the Illuminati

Fuck everybody

I'm bout to go and join the Illuminati

[Verse 3]

This next three bars is dedicated to the retards

Keep on asking me about the Illuminati

Is you stupid nigga

Young Black millionaire

Old White billionaires

I'm sure that they could do without me

And I ain't really into sacrificing human bodies

Couple more A's I would have been a summa cuma laude

Beyonce told me that she want to cop a blue Bugatti

That shit is more than what I'm worth

I think she knew it probably

Well this is awkward

Want to know what else is really awkward

When niggas buy rings for bitches I had flings with

I'm praying I don't see them at the Oscars

[Interlude]

Re-adjusted my target audience

Cause it's obvious

I've gone astray

Losing my way like Timberlake

Produced by Timberland on that goddamn FutureSex/LoveSounds

What's playing in my mind

Just the sound of my whole career

Crashing burning

The thing that I mostly fear

Was on track for the first two years

Until I let the Devil steer

Now what have we here

Mask my tears, but I

[Bridge]

[Outro]

Allow me to re-introduce myself

My name is Cole

My nigga

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Sometimes I brag like Hov
