[00:00.0]Immortal (Explicit) - J. Cole
[00:02.25]Awwwww
[00:09.4]Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope
[00:12.13]Screamin' dollar and a dream with my closet lookin' broke
[00:14.71]And my ni**a's lookin' clean gettin' caught up with that d**e
[00:17.25]Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap
[00:20.07]Ni**a I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know
[00:22.44]Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor
[00:25.14]Flashbacks to the pain wakin' up cold sweats
[00:27.72]Six o'clock in the mornin' gotta hit the bowflex
[00:30.29]Get my weight up on the block keep watch for the cops
[00:32.96]God they love to serve a ni**a three hots and a cot
[00:35.6]Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
[00:38.21]And the drought got me prayin' for a car time vibe
[00:40.85]Summer rain come again
[00:42.05]Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon
[00:44.01]In my mind I been cryin'
[00:45.35]Know it's wrong but I'm sellin'
[00:46.66]Eyes wellin' up with tears
[00:47.9]Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt
[00:49.9]Immortalized on this shirt
[00:51.11]Real niggas don't die
[00:52.85]Forward with the plot
[00:53.91]One seven forty five
[00:55.44]For him at the plot
[00:56.48]Real niggas don't die
[00:57.94]Form him on the block
[00:59.02]Hood niggas don't lie
[01:00.67]For him in the plot
[01:01.76]My niggas don't die
[01:03.15]For him on the block
[01:04.34]Real niggas don't die
[01:05.79]For him on the block
[01:06.94]Real niggas don't die
[01:09.42]Real niggas don't die
[01:12.81]Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon
[01:15.42]Have you ever seen a ni**a that was black on the moon
[01:17.99]Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cried
[01:20.62]Have you ever seen a motherf**kin' ribbon in the sky
[01:23.229996]Nope all I see is that cream ni**a that green
[01:26.15]I'm a black king black jeans on my black queen
[01:28.81]And her a** fat too fat for a flat screen
[01:31.3]I'm the type of ni**a make the whole f**kin' trap lean
[01:33.990005]Kingpin ni**a put wings on a crack fiend
[01:36.55]If they want a ni**a they gon' have to send a swat team
[01:39.14]And I'm goin' out like scarface in his last scene
[01:41.66]A legend what that mean
[01:43.4]Real niggas don't die
[01:45.130005]Forward with the plot
[01:46.09]One seven forty five
[01:47.619995]Form at the plot
[01:48.6]Real niggas don't die
[01:50.240005]Form on the plot
[01:51.25]Hood niggas don't lie
[01:52.8]Form on the plot
[01:53.880005]My niggas don't die
[01:55.39]For 'em the block
[01:56.479996]Real niggas don't die
[01:58.03]For 'em the block
[01:59.11]Real niggas don't die
[02:01.74]Real niggas don't die
[02:25.32]To die a young legend or live a long life unfulfilled
[02:28.42]Cause you wanna change the world
[02:29.74]But while alive you never will
[02:30.99]Cause they only feel you after you gone or I've been told
[02:33.89]And now I'm caught between bein' heard and gettin' old
[02:36.26]Damn death creepin' in my thoughts lately
[02:38.72]My one wish in this b**ch make it quick if the lord take me
[02:41.86]I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
[02:44.35]And so I hustle like my niggas in Virginia a
[02:46.83]They tellin' niggas sell d**e rap or go to NBA in that order
[02:50.77]It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained
[02:53.3]At the bottom and hanged
[02:54.38]The strangest fruit that you ever seen
[02:56.22]Ripe with pain listen
