J. Cole - 3 Wishes Lyrics
[Verse 1: J Cole]Yeah grew up with killers, I didn't know they was killersWe was just together man, playing Mega-man on Sega manYour mama loved me to death, she reminded me of AfeniYeah real black queenIf I had a genie,I wish that she ain't struggle no moreY'all wouldn't have to go to sleep with all the roaches if she wasn't so poorYou told me when you came to my houseThis shit was like a timeout from realityOne night you asked me what I'm crying about'cuz you was staying over for the weekendI woke up from out my sleepWhen I heard mama and my stepfather beefinI don't know if he been drinkinBut I know this shit got loud and I heard rumbling from strugglingAnd rolling on the groundCould never get used to that soundMy mama saying get off meMy tears is tumbling nowI wish that you never saw me'cuz iI, felt like a coward, so powerless I was only 12I wish I would'be bust through that door my *****ing selfAnd grab the Glock right off the *****ing shelfIf nothing else scared a nigga shitlessThere goes two of my wishesForever scarred, determined to get some heartNo matter how big the nigga, no matter how small you areFast-forward to our older yearsTwo different pathsYou used to talk to me about college but that shit didn't lastWaste of potential, getting cash, what could I say?So tired of not having things, you never see it my wayToo proud to foldYour demiseOne day to my surprise, my nigga called me, told me you just caught a body twice your sizeI asked if it was self defense, he said it was defense of prideAnd that they trying to give you ten, but if you lucky you'll do five damnNot my niggaThe same one that told me that things always get betterJust trust me, don't cry my niggaThe news call him a killer, but he my niggaSad shitAy yo genie last wish, free my nigga
