Gladiators

[Verse 1: B.o.B]

Okay, so I'm on the beat, what am I supposed to rhyme?

What am I supposed to do in this booth? Am I to flow a line?

What am I, a spokesman now? What am I, a poster child?

What am I supposed to smile?

What am I supposed to be the dopest MC to hold this down?

What if I wasn't poor as a child?

What if I didn't grow up in doubt?

I probably shouldn't be smoking so much, my mind is over fried

But still I notice how them same folks will smile

In your face, but behind your back them same folk will frown

But that's enough about them, talk about me

Yes, B to the O, I said B to the O

And to the B, I owe it to the streets

And I ain't trying to brag, but you know your boy's a beast

And yeah I gotta eat 'cause my groceries on this beat

And my song will carry on 'til I no longer speak

My soul is also Kosher added to the fact I'm cheap

And I put that on my grandma, Othella, so rest in peace

Hater

[Ad-Libs: J. Cole]

Yeah, nigga

Hey, yeah, nigga

Hey

[Verse 2: J. Cole]

Ayy, many blessings sent from heaven, thanking God to be alive

Flight attendant woke me up said, "Mr. Cole you have arrived, welcome"

In this game the price of fame is steep, Lord help 'em

Keep 'em sane, prayin' that the heat won't melt 'em

I'm headed to the top, I couldn't be more welcome

Took the lead role, now look I'm right outside your peephole

That's for the crown holders, never would I dethrone

But if you ever leave home, don't worry, I keep your seat warm

So yeah, I'm Simba in a sense, I'm the prince

You impostors no Mufasa's, but there's Oscars for you gents

When I say I'm better than you niggas don't mean no offence

But it's clear with no tints, man, just check the fingerprints

You'll see we not the same, I got a shit list with lots of names

And plus hit list with of rappers I'ma cock and aim

Then it's who shot ya, mane? Finally figured out the game

Got nuttin' to lose, and a whole fuckin' lot to gain

[Outro: J. Cole]

Uh, yeah, B.o.B., nigga

Boy, Grand Hustle, nigga
