J. Cole - Keep Heaven Dancing Lyrics

Yeah
Ay, today my mom's birthday, man
I don't know, I think she's fifty-, I think she's fifty-three
If I do the math right (yeah)

Feeling rather uninspired
Feeling rather unadmired
Come on, baby, won't you love me?
Never put a soul above me
Don't you see I'm special, darling?
Tell me why then aren't you calling
Could it be you found another?
You forgotten how I loved ya
One day, you'll see that you've made a
Terrible mistake and pray to
God above for second chances
My rhythms will keep Heaven dancing
Keep Heaven dancing
Keep Heaven dancing

I'm a chip off my old block where they hold Glocks
In '92 they smoke rocks now I hope not
I wouldn't know 'cause we got outta there
I miss Aiesha, had the caramel features and a lotta hair
Sometimes I wonder where she at now
Imagining the way she look and how she act now
Did the hood get her? have a baby by a hood nigga
Give you two good guesses where he at now
But you never know, maybe she overcame
I mean just think about how far that lady Oprah came
From humble beginnings to hugging a billion
But that's one in a million if ya, from where I'm feeling
Nostalgic about hardest nigga outta the south
Though I was feeling claustrophobic and I had to get out
'Cause while I won't a street nigga ain't pretend to be
The Ville was killing niggas more innocent than me
Smart niggas went to collages in attempts to flee
Friends stay, singing, "Hey, penitentiary"
And that's life in a nutshell
I heard a couple dumb niggas say they love jail
I feel for 'em 'cause that's real for 'em
Less hope than a stillborn
Cole world but can feel warm
Though sometimes play a song that can bring sunshine
That's why I don't really give a f*ck about punchlines
I just be writing, not to enlighten, to release
At night a little Henny and some head can bring me peace
If only I could get away with murder like police
It'd be a couple niggas that's deceased, now rest in peace

Feeling rather uninspired
Feeling rather unadmired
Come on, baby, won't you love me?
Never put a soul above me
Don't you see I'm special, darling?
Tell me why then aren't you calling
Could it be you found another?
You forgotten how I loved ya
One day, you'll see that you've made a
Terrible mistake and pray to
God above for second chances
My rhythms will keep Heaven dancing
Keep Heaven dancing
Keep Heaven dancing

All you niggas rap on the same beats
Make me want to hit Dame grease
And get one of them joints X passed on
Make some shit that I can hear Flex blast on
For your whip, let your foot press gas on
'Cause it seems hits is how the best last long
So I ask God for my next mass song
All he sent is my next ass song full of private thoughts
For a minor cost you could tresspass on
It's from the heart like a chest pass homes
My nigga was in prison and he just got home
He blowin' up my cell, did four years in jail
And I never sent no mail and I guess that's wrong but
If he really knew me then he'd understand
A week out and already got a gun in hand
Guess it's true what they say, "Only God can judge"
But the catch is he never does
He know exactly why my nigga stressed, unhappy, high
Thinking, "How did four years just pass me by?"
Can't get a job but the streets showed me how
Niggas I was cool with, ain't my homies now
My own daughter act like she don't barely know me now
Baby mama promise me that she would hold me down
The bitch promised that she would hold me down
It was lonely in a cell and it's lonely now, sing

Feeling rather uninspired (sing)
Feeling rather unadmired (sing)
Come on, baby, won't you love me? (sing)
Never put a soul above me (sing)
Don't you see I'm special, darling?
Tell me why then aren't you calling
Could it be you found another?
You forgotten how I loved ya
One day, you'll see that you've made a
Terrible mistake and pray to
God above for second chances
My rhythms will keep Heaven dancing
Keep Heaven dancing
Keep Heaven dancing
