[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Abm Abm
Music my flesh and blood, it's been my only love since ye high
Db
I used to play Jay high and Ye high
Ebm
Thinkin' one day I would go from fan to fuckin' player
Ebm Bbm Abm
I guess I found a way huh, my nigga Cozz wants Zendaya
Abm
A side note, I'm rootin' for you, I use these bars and start recruitin' for you
Db
But treat her right
Ebm
And just remember, on your lonely nights this mic will be your friend
Bbm Ebm Bbm
You tell it all your secrets that you keepin' deep within
Abm
Your fantasies, regrets, your happy moments and your sins
Abm Db
And if he doesn't comprehend, at least he can pretend
Ebm
Let's begin to be the men we never seen
Bbm
In the 80's they smoke crack but now today they sippin' lean
Abm
And poppin' Xannies
Fuck niggas runnin' from their families
Abm
The streets don't give a fuck about the Grammys
Db Ebm
Wish I could talk to granny, wish I could smoke in peace
Bbm
But when I hit the blunt lately my mind it tortures me
Abm
Everything ain't supposed to be, apparently
Abm
I take it as a sign and stick the shit that's steerin' me
Db Ebm
In the direction of some clarity
This music is my therapy, I thank the Lord 'cause he care for me
[Chorus: J. Cole & Cozz]
Bbm Abm
How else I make it this far?
Abm
How else I make it this far?

You know I gotta thank God
Ebm Bbm
How else I make it this far? (far)
[Verse 2: Cozz]
Abm
Music is my soul and fuel
I guess it only saves a chosen few
Db
From goin' to school or sellin' dope, crazy
Ebm
Back in school, I was bumpin' Cole daily
Ebm Bbm
Now I'm writin' rhymes in the notebook that Cole gave me
Abm
And bro you so crazy, but all I can do is thank you
Abm Db
You threw your boy a lob, and shit, I ain't even say to
Ebm
But fuck it, all that shit he say true
'Cause you a dime, I'm sure you hear that every day, cool
Bbm Abm
So look, fuck bein' fine 'cause I know you got a brain too
Abm Db
And shit, let me not get my plate full, you know your brain moves
Ebm
A little different when you haven't ate food
So I'ma leave it up to fate to make these decisions
Bbm
And stick to my intentions
Abm
I did it for more of the passion, not the great checks
Abm Db
Knowin' that there's more than fat asses and great sex
Ebm
Tryna be the man I ain't yet
Bbm
But demons stuck on me like ashes on gray sweats
Abm
'Cause man I ain't made shit and I'm lackin' the patience
Abm
It's a battle to take in' the fact that I ain't win, yet
Db Ebm
What am I sayin', I can't complain when
Ebm
I travel and take trips, I look to God then I thank Him
[Chorus: Cozz]
Bbm Abm

Abm
Look, I ain't got money to blow but I'm gettin' there, dawg
Abm Db
Can't get momma a home but I'm gettin' there y'all
Ebm
Won't reach the end of the road, just sittin' there dawg
Ebm Bbm
How you gon' learn to grow if you ain't listenin' y'all?
Abm
Look, I'm still a student of the game but I been through some things
Abm Db
And I could school you rather say don't be clueless in the brain
Ebm
You gotta learn to fly before you cruisin' with the planes
Bbm
And you could be a boss, just gotta do it in your lane
Abm
Choosin' and choose to pray instead of choosin' prey
Abm
To use and abuse for pay
Db Ebm
You doin' it for the love or you doin' it to get praised?
What would you do for fame?
Bbm
If it was family or money, they probably lose you today
Abm
Probably go buy a car and try and coupe with the pain
Abm Db
Sometimes homies and hoes is truly the same
Ebm
Try and screw you for change, yeah it's truly a shame
Bbm
But somehow I seem to see the beauty in the rain
Abm Abm Db Ebm Bbm
