Lyrics of No Role Modelz by J. Cole
verse
First things first, rest in peace, Uncle Phil
For real
You the only father that I ever knew
I get my bitch pregnant, I'ma be a better you
verse
Prophesies that I made way back in the Ville
Fulfilled
Listen even back when we was broke, my team ill
Martin Luther King would have been on Dreamville, talk to a nigg*
pre-chorus
One time for my L.A. sisters
One time for my L.A. hoes
Lame nigg*s can't tell the difference
One time for a nigg* who knows
chorus
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
verse
No role models and I'm here right now
No role models to speak up
Searchin' through my memory, my memory, I couldn't find one
L.A.st night, I was gettin' my feet rubbed by the baddest bitch
verse
Not Trina, but I swear to god this bitch'll make you call your girl up
And tell her, "Hey, what's good?
Sorry I'm never comin' home, I'ma stay for good"
Then hang the phone up, and proceed to L.A.y the wood
verse
I came fast like 9-1-1 in White neighborhoods
Ain't got no shame 'bout it
She think I'm spoiled and I'm rich 'cause I can have any bitch
I got defensive and said, "Nah, I was the same without it"
verse
But then I thought back, back to a better me
Before I was a B-list celebrity
Before I started callin' bitches "bitches" so heavily
Back when you could get a platinum plaque without no melody
You wasn't sweatin' me
pre-chorus
One time for my L.A. sisters
One time for my L.A. hoes
Lame nigg*s can't tell the difference
One time for a nigg* who knows
chorus
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
verse
I want a real love, dark skinned, and Aunt Viv' love
That Jada and that Will love
That leave a toothbrush at your crib love
And you ain't gotta worry whether that's your kid love
verse
nigg*, I don't want no bitch from reality shows
Out-of-touch-with-reality hoes
Out in Hollywood bringin' back five or six hoes
f*ck 'em then we kick 'em to the door, nigg* you know how it goes
verse
She deserved that, she a bird, that's a bird trap
You think if I didn't rap she would flirt back?
Takin' off her skirt, let her wear my shirt, before she leave
"I'm a need my shirt back" (nigg*, you know how it go)
pre-chorus
One time for my L.A. sisters
One time for my L.A. hoes
Lame nigg*s can't tell the difference
One time for a nigg* who knows
chorus
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
bridge
There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas
Probably in Tennessee that says, "Fool me once"
Shame on, shame on you
Fool me-, we can't get fooled again
bridge
Fool me one time, shame on you (hey)
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you (hey)
Fool me three times, f*ck the peace signs
Load the chopper, let it rain on you
bridge
Fool me one time, shame on you (hey)
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you (hey)
Fool me three times, f*ck the peace signs
Load the chopper, let it rain on you
verse
My only regret was too young for Lisa Bonet
My only regret was too young for Nia Long
Now all I'm left with is hoes from reality shows
Hand her a script, the bitch probably couldn't read along
verse
My only regret was too young for Sade Adu
My only regret could never take Aaliyah home
Now all I'm left with is hoes up in gray stone
With the stale face 'cause they know it's they song
pre-chorus
She's shallow but the puss* deep (she's shallow, she's shallow)
She's shallow but the puss* deep (she's shallow), yeah (she's shallow), hey
She's shallow but the puss* deep (she's shallow, she's shallow)
She's shallow but the puss* deep (she's shallow, she's shallow)
chorus
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
chorus
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
