99 BUILD FREESTYLE Lyrics

Lyricist: J. Cole

{Intro: DJ Clue & J. Cole}

DJ Clue

Desert storm

Bigger

Yeah

DJ Clue

On my s*it, n!gga

Yeah

Clueminati

{Verse: J. Cole & DJ Clue}

I orbit the earth, whenever I’m recording a verse

When I’m ready to drop, said he gon’ report on it first

Play my album for the corpse in the hearse

It’s so live, the flow can make the rigor mortis on the mortar reverse (Clue)

These n!ggas reckless, tryna disrespect the lord of the church

You’re disconnected from your source, just like the cord at your birth

I’m from an alternate dimension, I got laws inside of this one

Now I’m walking round and looking for a portal that works

But all of the perks are rhyming, they get harder to search

The tormented poet, I know I’m making more than I’m worth

At one time, my neck and wrist was having so much ice

You’d think I’m getting dudes deported to a bordering turf

These n!ggas swear they doing numbers, but it’s more to the story

You bust it down, it’s by the streams and kids ordering merch

When n!ggas hate, it’s like a blessing, in the form of a curse

I’ve been anointed since a quarter, water slaughtered my thirst

Songbirds wanna swallow my girth, I’m off the market

If life is truly a movie, God is the art department

The only way of describing this way that I’m rhyming

Is picture Jeffery Dahmer walking a carcass across the carpet

The Marshall Faulker, the roster, with all-star offence

Outside of the music, I’m as cool as your water faucet

I stayed at myself, I ain’t talkative, y’all taught me not to have a heart-to-heart with a monster, they all too heartless

Like the skeletons in these fellas locked in the closet

I smelt it from the jump, ’cause it felt too awkward around it

I fell back, my dawg in heaven pushing Hellcats

We’ll tell ya, from the beginning, I wonder, how could I dodge it?

The beef ain’t real, so it ain’t no reason to squash it

The game ain’t neither, so it’s easy for me to pause it

With one verse, I disassemble narratives, your theories get killed

The murder weapon was superior skill, yeah

Selling drügs to your stereos, sincerely, it feels

Like overdosing off a myriad of various pills

You’re not alone when you experience ethereal thrills

Even n!ggas burning in hell, when they hear me, get chills

I’m a 99 bill, from the Ville signing mighty fine deals, this year total was 95 mil’

So why do I still grind like I’m tryna retire? My mom’s out the post office

From Saint John’s to the league, like I’m Moe Harkless

I loaded the whole cartridge on foes who wholeheartedly oppose the chosen one

That rose like the golden sun, in the morning, to give light to even those that shun

Raised from the flows, radiate the globe, melting snow on this frozen tundra

Known as the rap game, that’s been overcome with loads of marketing plans

Based on randomly dissing and hating on the next man

I understand, imagine working hard as you can

On this album you planned, hoping it charges yo’ brand

But as soon as you drop it, the world’s ignoring again

Got you wondering why, ’til you start to notice the trend

Drama enhances the attention brought to the fans

On popular channels, so you wanna hop on the band

Wagon, of battle rapping and throwing shots in a jam

I had my chance, but I dropped it, which means my only option

To do the opposite thing (Leave with the skill, n!gga)

If hip-hop is back, JID should chart platinum

Anything less than that, it means y’all capping

The Fall-Off is dropping 2/6, stop asking

I wanna thank God, ’cause I almost lost passion

Thought that I was finished, then it all start crashing

Made me remember why a n!gga start rapping

I’m pissed, ’cause the Knicks coulda hired Mark Jackson

I’m hyped, Mike Jordan, just start broadcasting

And all the old rappers getting bags podcasting, it’s beautiful

{Outro: DJ Clue & J. Cole}

Clueminati! (It’s beautiful)

Hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop

DJ Clue

Desert Storm

What?

Clueminati!
