Villuminati Lyrics
[Intro]
I’m a born sinner
But I die better than that, I swear
It’s way darker this time
*Laughs*
[Chorus]
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov, now I’m in the limelight ’cause I rhyme tight
Cole, time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I brag like Hov, sometimes I’m real like Pac
Sometimes I focus on the flow to show the skills I got
Sometimes I focus on the dough, look at these bills I got
This is a message for some rappers tryna steal my spot
You n!ggas famous on the internet, I’m real life hot, homie
Get your weight up, fake n!ggas get sprayed up
My verbal AK slay faggots
And I don’t mean no disrespect whenever I say faggot
Okay, faggot? Uh
Don’t be so sensitive
If you want to get f*cked in the ass, that’s between you and whoever else’s d*** it is
Pause, maybe that line was too far
Just a little joke to show how homophobic you are
And who can blame ya? Boy Meets World, I’m tryna find a new Topanga
And bang her out, no hanging out
My pops was club hopping back when Rick James was out
And all I get is Trinidad James, wait a minute, that’s strange
Sip a bit of champagne, say f*ck it
If the hoes like it I love it, n!gga, n!gga, n!gga
Used to watch Rap City, Big Tigga, Tigga
Rap nerd, even copped Rah Diggah, Diggah
Pac had a n!gga saying f*ck Jigga, f*ck Biggie
I was only like 11 so forgive me
A decade later I’d be all up in the city
Tryna get Hov to f*ck with me
With a burned CD full of jams that was up in my hand
When he said he didn’t want it it was f*ck him again
One day, he gon’ regret playing me
Little did I know in a year he’d be f*cking paying me, what could you say to me? I
Beat the odds like Vegas, I used to rap about haters
Before n!ggas was hating me, now they hate to see
A young black man with a college degree
F*cking all these little models for free, pardon me
[Chorus]
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Got the game back, and I ain’t ever letting go
[Verse 2]
I’m the prince of the city, I studied Machiavelli
You n!ggas couldn’t blow with C4 strapped to your belly
I snuck up out the parts where n!ggas be living heartless
And cannot tell the difference between Iraqi, Israeli
And so I’m wondering really what could you actually tell me
I’m tryna keep my homie from throwing crack in the skully
So, back with this pen to give back for my sins
Took a black president to tell the Japanese sorry
But who the f*ck gon’ tell my n!ggas sorry
Never seen his pops ’cause he’s sorry
F*cked up education, would ask for reparations
But I’m probably just gon’ go and buy Ferraris, vroom
Please forgive him
According to the preacher man he needs Jesus in him
But the Devil run the TV so the demons in ’em
I’m in trouble
Did a deal with the Devil, now I’m pleading with him
Like give me my soul
[Bridge]
My n!gga, I ain’t ever letting you go again
I ain’t ever letting go
I ain’t ever letting you go again
Please give me my soul
I ain’t ever letting go
I ain’t ever letting you go again
Please give me my soul
I ain’t ever letting go
But the Devil don’t play fair
[Refrain]
I’m ’bout to go and join the Illuminati
F*ck everybody
I’m ’bout to go and join the Illuminati
F*ck everybody
I’m ’bout to go and join the Illuminati
F*ck everybody
I’m ’bout to go and join the Illuminati
[Verse 3]
These next three bars is dedicated to the retards
Keep on asking me about the Illuminati;
Is you stupid, n!gga? Young black millionaire
Old white billionaires, I’m sure that they can do without me
And I ain’t really into sacrificing human bodies
Couple more A’s I would’ve been a summa cuma laude
Beyoncé told me that she want to cop the blue Bugatti
That shit is more than what I’m worth, I think she knew it probably
Well this is awkward, awkward
Want to know what else is really awkward, awkward
When n!ggas buy rings for b!tches I had flings with
I’m praying I don’t see ’em at the Oscars, Oscars
[Interlude]
Hey J. Cole, this way, hey
Oh, hey, what’s up? What’s goin’ on with you? Okay
Big smile, man, big smile, let me see that crooked smile
J. Cole, J. Cole, this way, look this way
Oh friend hug, friend hug, just keep it friendly
We friends, friends
[Verse 4]
Re-adjustin’ my target audience, ’cause it’s obvious
I’ve gone astray, losing my way like Timberlake
Produced by Timbaland on that goddamn FutureSex/LoveSounds
What’s playing in my mind, just the sound of my whole career
Crash and burning, the thing that I mostly fear
Was on track for the first two years until I let the Devil steer
Now what have we here? Mask my tears, but I
[Bridge]
I ain’t ever letting go
I ain’t ever letting you go again
I ain’t ever letting go
I ain’t ever letting you go again
I ain’t ever letting go
I ain’t ever letting you go again
I ain’t ever letting go
I ain’t ever letting you go again
[Outro]
Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is Cole
My n!gga
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is Cole
My n!gga
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Sometimes I brag like Hov
Born sinner
