J. Cole - Heartache Lyrics






[Intro:]
Yeah yeah yeah
Elite Elite Elite... Elite
Ya know

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Slim nigga, lyrically on my limbs
Bigga then a nigga hittin' the gym
Regular benchpressin' the bar,
Ten steps up from ya'll, you could follow my lead,
If you shoot for the stars, I guess you aimin' at me
But please hold your applause
Ya'll holdin' up the wall goddammit I'm on the flo'
Good Lord, can't you see me gettin' down on a ho
And she drop it so low she sittin down on the flo'
I never pound with the flo, at times I wonder
Aye when they listen to my shit man can they hear my hunger?
Or will these hatin' ass rappers try to steal my thunder
Aye this is big shit poppin', you gon' need a plunger
To take me under, niggas in trouble
You lookin' at Lebron James of the game
I could do anything that you name
I could blaze any rapper in the game that you bring
Pour gasoline on the brain, got the flame for that
So you hatin' niggas refrain from that
A little bitter cause yo game is whack
I'll let Elite breathe, yeah
I'll let Elite breathe, yeah

[Chorus]
Aye you ain't gotta cry, don't worry 'bout me
I know it won't be long 'fore you know about me
My head's to the sky and I'm on my grind
I'm reachin' for the clouds, tryna take what's mine
Take what's mine
Hey, hey

[Verse 2]
A dolla and a dream, that's all a nigga got
So, if it's 'bout that C.R.E.A.M, then I'm all up in the spot
I'm just warmin' up, I'm hot but naw I ain't flashin'
I never gave a fuck about no high-end fashion
And maybe I was too broke, maybe I'm just too dope
To rap about that regular shit, or bag a regular bitch
These niggas talkin' like they on the next level and shit
But Cole's flow so cold, Bet the devil get sick
How do you want it? So sick I make you mentally vomit
These rappers askin' for beats and they ain't even fit to be on it
I see 'em writin' about rappers, I should be sick to my stomach
Because they talk 'bout the future but didn't mention me on it
So now I'm back in the kitchen, cookin' I'm meant to be one of the greatest
No niggas seein' me, this century us and you hate it
Look how I played it, other niggas was jaded
Under-appreciated, now Carolina is rated
I let Elite breathe, yeah
Hey, uh uh uh
I let Elite breathe, yeah

[Chorus]
Aye you ain't gotta cry, don't worry 'bout me
I know it won't be long 'fore you know about me
My head's to the sky and I'm on my grind
I'm reachin' for the clouds, tryna take what's mine
Take what's mine
Hey, hey

    Who’s up in this bitch in 2020???

  2. R.... N....

    Hello everyone, if anyone is looking free services in beat producing, mixing, and/or mastering please reply. I'm currently going to school for science and audio engineering and would like to collaborate with other artist. I'm looking to help others grow who do not have the funds to afford other producers. It does not matter how experience you are. I primarily make soulful hip hop beats, R&B, and trap but I'm willing to explore genres of music. Please reply for further communication.

  45. p.... r....

    cole's flow so cold that the devil get sick- one of my favorite lines ever

  46. H.... A....

    see what i mean dude any of those songs can be consider a great song

  47. G.... K....

    this song is pretty great but 2face is my fav at the moment or last call one of these three or maybe farewell

  48. G.... K....

    Na jcole doesnt remind me of nas or jay z. he reminds me of a way too underrated, hungry, rapper trying to make a name in the game. But ugh i know this seems selffish and i wish cole the best but, its kinda fun keeping him to my self. like maybe if some one liked jcole i could like be like awesome but its still kinda awesome how it is

  49. R.... H....

    I life everyday though, pull ups are the best too haha.

  52. k.... n....

    and the humble-ness

  53. H.... A....

    well to you...but all those other songs i suggested have the same quality in terms of delivery, message and punch lines as dead presidents. personally i like throw it up and i get up but somedays it switches.

  54. W.... F....

    I want more cole songs like this. this uptempo beat with cole on it is toooo hard.

  55. A.... ....

    Actually... Dead Presidents is his best.

  56. H.... A....

    how high, throw it up, i get up, last call verse, dead presidents verse, unabomber, vilematic, etc. like that due said there is too much it's hard to pick your favorite cole song, too

  57. N.... P....

    @zapmanclark not including his other eps to singles like grew up fast, purple rain, get free, the cure, miss america, and his revolutionary shits . thats not even all.

  58. N.... P....

  91. c.... ....

    to tell the truth i only like the intro to this song i was expecting something deeper iv been lissining to it of the mix tape and im a little disappointed with the rest of the song compared to the intro

  92. K.... ....
