![]() ![]() Who would’ve thought you’d leave my momma high and dry Put me on to ‘Pac, and all the rappers that killed cops Uh, thirteen years knew you more then my real pops I’m blowing up fast and I hope these words haunt you I was too young to scrap you but damn if I ain’t want to Only five years old but sense danger in my house I should’ve, followed my instincts a stranger in my house The day you played my momma you played meĬan’t believe I let you in my heart nigga The first and third verse he talks about how he misses him and the second verse he lets him know what he feels like he did wrong. The original song is one of my favourite tracks of all time and J.Cole used this sample perfectly to make a track about the good times and bad times of growing up with his mom’s boyfriend and how he feels about him. The sample used for this track was none other than the classic song by Lauryn Hill, To Zion. This track did not make it to the final cut of his album (Born Sinner) probably because of some legal issues with the sample they used for the song. I never bought into the hype that much but listening to most of his songs I can give him credit for having a natural story telling ability. There was a lot of hype following him with people making claims saying he is the second coming of Nas. I was always kind of skeptical of J.Cole’s ability to rhyme ever since he came out. ![]()
