  • Fuck do you know 'bout my passion?
    Fuck do you know 'bout my pain?
    Fuck do you know 'bout my struggle?
    Fuck do you know 'bout Jermaine?

    They say the Lord's timing is divine
    And I walk with Him, so that explains mine
    Cole, deep down, you may find all that pain creates a strange bond
    Slums connected like the drums in a bass line
    Petrified of death and poverty, I chase mine
    Like breathalyzer tests, I'm tryna walk a straight line
    Meditatin' for a better state in my deranged mind
    'Til I saw the Buddha pose and realized he throwin' gang signs
    I guess the lesson is you can't escape crime
    Even when the strays flyin', I remain calm
    Fayettenam, you my heart, but at the same time
    If I'm bein' honest, I can feel that flame dyin', uh

    So I'm ridin' through the city streets, reachin' for a memory to hang on
    Goin' backwards like a penalty to see a younger me, but that day's gone
    Wild times lookin' up at cloud nine, how high can Jermaine climb?
    'Member when they ain't respond when you holla?
    Funny how a few dollars can change minds

    Fuck do you know 'bout my passion? (Na-na-na-na-na)
    Fuck do you know 'bout my pain?
    Fuck do you know 'bout my struggle? (Na-na-na-na-na)
    Fuck do you know 'bout Jermaine?
    Ten toes is down on the pavement (na-na-na-na-na)
    Umbrellas don't stop no rain
    Niggas, they die everyday, so (na-na-na-na-na)
    Fuck the world, let's run a train

    Since I was a pipsqueak, lean on survival instincts
    On backstreets, where they're tearin' up hearts like them guys in NSYNC
    Codeine in they soda, dirty poppin' plus how the ends meet
    When serving rock on deserted blocks tryna cause a frenzy
    To profit quickly, I'm passin' by my pockets empty
    Tryin' to make a legal dollar seem harder than guardin' Wemby
    When you're hardly six feet tall, if somehow I could ball
    I better work hard on my handles 'cause niggas gon' try to rip me
    Don't wanna R.I.P., but if I leave, know God'll lift me
    I'd rather sit inside a Bentley and be the owner like providin' kidneys
    I know the love does not extend deep
    I choose my homies wisely, seen too many die from friends beef
    Big dreams to change the world back when I ride a ten-speed
    Youthful delusion, thinkin' through music I could end grief
    When too many bodies get piled up in these rivals' histories
    So stoppin' this violence is like bringin' the Gaza Strip peace, uh

    So I'm ridin' through the city streets reachin' for a memory to hang on
    Goin' backwards like a penalty to see a younger me, but that day's gone
    Wild times lookin' up at cloud nine, how high can Jermaine climb?
    'Member when they ain't respond when you holla?
    Funny how a few dollars can change minds

    Fuck do you know 'bout my passion? (Na-na-na-na-na)
    Fuck do you know 'bout my pain?
    Fuck do you know 'bout my struggle? (Na-na-na-na-na)
    Fuck do you know 'bout Jermaine?
    Ten toes is down on the pavement (na-na-na-na-na)
    Umbrellas don't stop no rain
    Niggas, they die everyday, so (na-na-na-na-na)
    Fuck the world, let's run a train

    Fuck the world, let's run a train
    Fuck the world, let's run a train
    Fuck the world, let's run a train
    Fuck the world, let's run a train
    (In a world)
    (In a world)
