J. Cole – procrastination (broke) Lyrics

Don’t you dare run from it
Theres no boogie man
It ain’t coming to hurt you
I think acceptance is somewhat of virtue

To look your truth dead in the face without trying to escape the regret or disgrace

I write these words aimlessly

But not without hope that somehow I’ll stumble on something thats dope
A clever little line a thought to provoke myself and that listener digging for quotes
Hello

I don’t even know if somebody gon hear this
Got so many songs they get lost in the endless folders of the hard drive
I wish i was more fearless

Cuz i just say fuck it and dump all the music for nias that hated and nias that use it as fuel
To push them through long nights at school
Writing that last minute paper for classes
Due in the morning and I still relate to that procrastination for task

Cuz I need to finish this album,
But hell how many more times can i say that this will impale
Down in that well and pull it back up with the hope that its fill

Plus it don’t help that I’m rich now so that means that i don’t gotta deal
With stress from these creditors calling my cellular
Like that young rapper that don’t gotta a deal
But do got the skill and do got the will to make it no matter how long that it takes
For labels to see ya or a song that’ll break and the rest of the world to catch on that he’s great

Uh
How do you tap into hunger when you don’t got wonder bout where your next meal is coming from
Maybe you feel my conundrum
Or maybe the real is um so um
Far removed from the struggles of everyday folks
My shit just ain’t never gonna hit like it hit when a nigga was a lil more closer to broke (broke)

Uh
But fuck it the challenge be having me stoked
Throw in the towel you gotta be joking
I push my salary up with these quotes

Now, I push the lambo truck down in the ville
Hoping i connect with something thats real
Part of me wonders why Im even still

Holding on to this place,
my momma been gone
And my partners is straight
