About This Track

'Sunset' pairs J. Cole with Young Nudy over production from CHASETHEMONEY, the track built on Cole's boastful assertion that he wants the same confrontation everyone else does. The song moves between Cole's reflective verses, where he recalls narrow escapes from street violence, and a chorus that stacks material excess against the memory of where he came from, riding down Sunset Boulevard in a Rolls Royce whilst keeping one eye on the neighbourhood that shaped him. Young Nudy arrives in the second verse with a harder edge, his delivery all threat and momentum where Cole had allowed himself space to think. The track holds its tension between aspiration and survival, between the luxury Cole has earned and the vigilance that survival in his circumstances demands.

"Sunset" is a track by Dreamville, from the album Revenge of the Dreamers III, released 5th July 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Sunset

[Intro: J. Cole]

Pyrex Whippa

Niggas want smoke, mmh

Niggas want smoke, I want it too, mmh

Niggas want, mmh, niggas want, mmh

CHASETHEMONEY, CHASETHEMONEY

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Mmh, niggas want smoke, I want it too

Roses are red, my diamonds are blue

Pockets is green, a permanent hue

My niggas get work like assignments is due

Just made a mil', I counted it once

I think I go spread it around in the slums

2-6 god, that's where I'm from

Help me get used to the sound of the drum

Rolls Royce riding down Sunset

I must get a crib in LA

Fuck a nigga finna tell me?

Catch him slippin', Cinderell-ayy

Big ass chopper make God flinch

Ducking from the boys in the field

Just as good as poison with the steel

Hesitation always get you killed, nigga

[Verse 1: J. Cole]

I wanna pop my shit

I wanna cop my whip in cash

On that note, pull up on them folks

In an all black Ghost like Christmas Past

Vicious ass

Low-key rich with the same outfit that I did just have

Pardon the smoke, that's just my staff

Quik Stop, never seen this much gas, nigga

I got a story to tell you to speak for the niggas that never could speak for theyself

I was off Cumberland Road when a couple of niggas mistook me for somebody else

I put the pedal to metal when I seen the muzzle, I couldn't help but think to myself

Boy, keep your ass in the house, the city is bad for your health

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Mmh, niggas want smoke, I want it too

Roses are red, my diamonds are blue

Pockets is green, a permanent hue

My niggas get work like assignments is due

Just made a mil', I counted it once

I think I go spread it around in the slums

2-6 god, that's where I'm from

Help me get used to the sound of the drum

Rolls Royce riding down Sunset

I must get a crib in LA

Fuck a nigga finna tell me?

Catch him slippin', Cinderell-ayy

Big ass chopper make God flinch

Ducking from the boys in the field

Just as good as poison with the steel

Hesitation always get you killed, nigga

[Verse 2: Young Nudy]

(I'm really with the shit)

Pull up on your block, ain't no hesitation (Skrrt, yeah)

Hit you with the stick, try to run, you ain't gon' make it (Huh?)

Whole lot of money on your head, gotta take it (Yeah, I do)

Roll through your hood like some dice, we gon' shake it (We gon' shake it)

Bitch turned up in the spot booty shakin', yeah (Nasty)

I like this bitch gettin' naked, yeah (Yeah, bitch)

Fuck for the money, she crazy, huh (Yeah, bitch)

Paradise East, from the bricks, yeah, they made me

Niggas wanna hate, gettin' money, say I'm crazy (Okay)

Shit bankroll, ain't nothin' but big faces

Spread it in your face, make a motherfucker hate me

Whole lot of money, make me wanna come take it

I'm in the hood where this shit ain't safe

It's okay, got a Glock, AK

Niggas try to play, I'ma hit 'em in the face

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Mmh, niggas want smoke, I want it too

Roses are red, my diamonds are blue

Pockets is green, a permanent hue

My niggas get work like assignments is due

Just made a mil', I counted it once

I think I go spread it around in the slums

2-6 god, that's where I'm from

Help me get used to the sound of the drum

Rolls Royce riding down Sunset

I must get a crib in LA

Fuck a nigga finna tell me?

Catch him slippin', Cinderell-ayy

Big ass chopper make God flinch

Ducking from the boys in the field

Just as good as poison with the steel

Hesitation always get you killed, nigga
