    Fire Squad Lyrics – J. Cole 

    [Produced by J. Cole & Vinylz]

    [Chorus]
    Nigga why you actin’ like a ho?
    Know that I’ma ride for ya, either way it go
    Tell me, girl why you be stressin’ me for time?
    When you tell me you love me, can’t you see I’m tryna climb?
    Damn my nigga why you actin’ like a bitch?
    If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon’ get rich?
    Come here baby why you always insecure?
    Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure

    [Verse 1]
    Ain’t a way around it no more, I am the greatest
    A lotta niggas sat on the throne, I am the latest
    I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants
    I ain’t afraid of you niggas, I’ll end up fading you niggas
    ‘Fore it’s all said and done, this nigga need medicine
    My uzi, it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun
    In fact I just might need two, cause niggas say they the one
    And I got something to prove
    Forgive me, Lord, here they come, BLAOOW
    [Chorus]
    Nigga why you actin’ like a ho?
    Know that I’ma ride for ya, either way it go
    Tell me, girl why you be stressin’ me for time?
    When you tell me you love me, can’t you see I’m tryna climb?
    Damn my nigga why you actin’ like a bitch?
    If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon’ get rich?
    Come here baby why you always insecure?
    Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure

    [Verse 2]
    My inhibition’s fighting my intuition
    Premature premonition, showing me the demolition
    Of these phony niggas, so ahead of my time
    Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscing
    You want the truth well come and listen
    I’m like that time you bagged a dime and checked ya phone and saw it was a number missing
    As fate passes you by, half of you try
    The other half of you fried, too high to actually fly
    One day y’all have to decide, who you gon’ be
    A scary nigga or a nigga that’s gon’ rule like me
    Keep it true like me, Cole you might be
    Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T
    Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee
    Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee
    Meets ’02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee
    Meets KD, ain’t no nigga that can shoot like me!
    BLAOOOW!
    [Chorus]
    Nigga why you actin’ like a ho?
    Know that I’ma ride for ya, either way it go
    Tell me, girl why you be stressin’ me for time?
    When you tell me you love me, can’t you see I’m tryna climb?
    Damn my nigga why you actin’ like a bitch?
    If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon’ get rich?
    Come here baby why you always insecure?
    Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure

    [Bridge]
    (Who’s the king?)
    Came from the bottom nigga, with stains on my shirt
    What you expected from me, I came from the dirt
    (Who’s the king?)
    Money my motivator, the songs that I sing
    Picture a peasant passin’ from pawn to a king
    (Who’s the king?)
    You tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go
    Will I return or will I burn, never know
    (Who’s the king?)
    Look in my eyes and see the future
    But don’t sugar coat it

    [Verse 3]
    Listen…
    History repeats itself and that’s just how it goes
    Same way that these rappers always bite each other’s flows
    Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock ‘n Roll
    Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore
    While silly niggas argue over who gon’ snatch the crown
    Look around, my nigga, white people have snatched the sound
    This year I’ll prolly go to the awards dappered down
    Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile
    I’m just playin’, but all good jokes contain true shit
    Same rope you climb up on, they’ll hang you with
    But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
    I bang nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick
    You see how I maneuver this game, I ain’t stupid
    I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid
    And break the chains and change minds
    One verse at a time, and claim 2-6
    And fuck it, if the shoe fits, who’s the king?
    [Outro]
    We all kings
    (We all kings nigga)
    Kings of ourselves first and foremost
    (True)
    While the people debate who’s the king of this rap game
    Here comes lil’ ol’ Jermaine
    With every ounce of strength in his veins
    To snatch the crown from whoever y’all think has it
    But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it
    Poof, boom, paow, it’s like magic
    With a flash and a BANG the crown disintegrates
    And falls to the Earth from which it came
    It’s done
    Ain’t gonna be no more kings
    Be wary of any man that claims
    Because deep down he clings onto the need for power
    In reality he’s a coward
    Ultimately he’s scared to die
    And sometimes so am I
    But when I’m in tune with the most high
    I realize, the fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side
    Today I know that we are the same, are the same, you and I
    Different kind of skin, different set of eyes
    Two different minds, but only one God
    (It’s only one God nigga)
    It’s for all the kings
    ‘Cause I know deep down every poet just wanna be loved
