Show Me Something - J. Cole
What am I here for
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand try'na get my head clear ya'll
This s**t is on my mind
Asking for the lord to show me all my signs
Show me something uh
'Cause I'm try'na find something uh
I'm lost can you show me something uh
I'm lost can you show me something
I sit and reminisce on them n***as
No longer here
And how I used to hit the mall and ya'll was always there
I sit and think how I didn't grow up with my father there
No need to cry 'cause it only made me stronger
I watch my brother get in trouble with the law and
That s**t cut me like I was sitting in a barber chair
'Cause I don't wanna see them locked up
In them bars in there
And I don't wanna see him stretched out in a coffin
I'm wishing I can move my momma out so far
From here
I know that she deserve much better
She worked hard as hell
That's why you never see me settle 'cause
They want us here
I'm try'na side step the devil but he heartless
But just know that I'm a rebel and
You it's almost here
I'm talking 'bout the revolution
I am Paul revere
So dry your eyes momma please you can pause
Them tears
'Cause I promise I'm going get us outta
Here
What am I here for
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand try'na get my head clear ya'll
This s**t is on my mind
Asking for the lord to show me all my signs
Show me something
'Cause I'm try'na find something
I'm lost can you show me something
I'm lost can you show me something
I swear I'm praying for my n***as
When I say grace
I know them n***as don't care who
They hit they spray straight
But lord please protect my family 'cause if they graze
*****s is loading up that ammi and them ak's
I know it's wrong and that revenge is all in your hands
But last night I heard they robbed and killed a old man
Now if they cold enough to take a life that's innocent
I know that they could give a f**k whether I live and s**t
And so I'm asking you if you can
Hold me down lord
Be my umbrella ella ella in this down pour
I know you never ever ever let me drown or
Won't let that devil evil evil win this round no
And though I stray from you
You know that my heart is good
And I know I ain't exactly living how I probably should
And I'm a try to act better like it's hollywood
*****s congratulate me I just tell 'em
God is good
What am I here for
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand try'na get my head clear ya'll
This s**t is on my mind
Asking for the lord to show me all my signs
Show me something
'Cause I'm try'na find something
I'm lost can you show me something
I'm lost can you show me something
My n***as drug dealing in the trap
I'm telling you wake up ni**a
It's a trap you set up
And to them young mothers fed up
Just keep your head up
Don't let up you fall you get up
You make your bed up that you sleep in
Fake rappers ain't practicing
What they preaching
They tell you hit the trap
While they relaxing on the beach and
I'm here to spit the facts a
***** backflipped off the deep end
And smell this s**t for what it is
Not kells but I love the kids
And so I make the song to let
'Em know that they important
'Cause them racist teachers could'nt
Give a f**k bout what they score
So they try to get them hands up on
Them grants like horace
Now they slanging for you know it
Cops is knocking they got warrants damn
And now he running for it damn
And now the cops is running for him damn
And now he finally slowing down
Hands behind your head lay down on the ground
What am I here for
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand try'na get my head clear ya'll
This s**t is on my mind
Asking for the lord to show me all my signs
Show me something
'Cause I'm try'na find something
I'm lost can you show me something
I'm lost can you show me something
