Nothin' For The Radio

[Verse 1: Fashawn]

The ghetto is pitch black and we all wanna shine

So a third of us rhyme

The other half about math, flipping birds, we intertwine

There is no words to describe my habitat except hostile

40oz. brews and trips to the hospital or Wasco

Get locked in solitude surrounded by darkness hoping some light shine through

Cause we used to DVD boosting, crack rock producing, business suits claim we're useless

And won't give us jobs, and wonder why their ass get robbed

Wonder why my young brother stuck on reefer

Because the state refuse to pay good teachers

While the rich kids watch from the bleachers

I ask Jesus let some light creep in

[Hook: J. Cole]

May I kick a little something for the G's and cold hearted niggas that's freezin'

Everythang happens for a reason

But why a nigga stuck shit, this ain't nothing for the radio, nah this ain't nothing for the radio

Nah, this right here what you've been waiting for, hey this right here what you've been waiting for

[Verse 2: Fashawn]

Why is it me that this dark cloud follows?

I probably drown in this Belvedere bottle

Ugh I get my hymns from him it's a revival

The limits keep my hands spinning like a gyro

I need a chiro-prac, cause I feel like I'm alone in this world

Who got my back?

They tell me find god like I don't know where he at

And if he lost why we following him

Just acknowledge the fact that a father exists

And the devil's alive, I'm just caught in the mix

Before he shines his light on me I was out on the strip

Holding it down till I discovered my gift (got talent bro, I'm telling you)

It felt more like a curse, in my hoodie, I still made it to church

Just in time they hear the pastor complain like sunshine after the rain, help us out

[Hook: J. Cole]

May I kick a little something for the G's and cold hearted niggas that's freezin'

Everythang happens for a reason

But why a nigga stuck shit, this ain't nothing for the radio, nah this ain't nothing for the radio

Nah, this right here what you've been waiting for, hey this right here what you've been waiting for
